What are /r/PropagandaPosters' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you're referring to The Economist specifically, sure.

If you're referring to "radical centrists" in general it's because they're often the embodiment of the Golden Mean fallacy rather than espousing data driven, science based policies -- which are, in many cases, overwhelmingly in favor of progressive solutions if not outright socialism.

I found this thread from that subreddit.

This indeed is a remake of an original poster from that time.

From Der Stern

You can translate by cutting and pasting the text here.

"How the Stasi wanted to recognize "gothie's," "bums," and "new romance's."

In an exhibition in a Leipzig museum, a Twitter user came across a bizarre Stasi table. It explains various "negative-decadent youths" in detail. And that is involuntarily funny.

In the 80s, the Stasi made this survey of GDR youth cultures..."

Now I'm thinking how much more effective drive like your pets live here signs would be compared to those drive like you kids live here ones.

EDIT: THEY EXIST

It's because they felt as if secession would ultimately mean the destruction of the United States. Allowing a state to secede would set a terrible precedent that could mean the fracturing of the country into small parts that could be easily gobbled up by the great powers of Europe. It would also show how weak and impractical Democratic form of government is. The Union was strong together and had fostered, what they considered the best possible form of government that their forefathers had sacrificed to create and was their duty to protect. They had seen the bullying around of the Southern "Slave Power" for a long time now, and wouldn't stand idly by as those disgraceful people ruined it. And of course you had the portion of Union men that simply wanted to see an end to slavery. This wasn't the majority of them from the outset, but as the war went on, the desire to set the slaves free became stronger and stronger.

Edit: For anyone interested in this topic I can't recommend enough James McPherson's book, "For Cause & Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War. A lot of people are probably familiar with his one volume history, "Battle Cry of Freedom", which any Civil War buff will recommend to you. But this book is a comparatively short, easy read and he does a great job of illustrating the frame of mind of these young men. Check it out.

Frank L. Britton was also the author of a book on the Jewish connection to communism. Available on Amazon and Stormfront.org so you know it must be good.

https://www.amazon.com/Behind-Communism-Frank-L-Britton/dp/1300066059 Fully revised, expanded and updated from the original 1952 book, this work clearly shows that Communism grew out of Russian Judaism. Although the Soviet Union has disappeared, the ideology which underpinned that state-state-engineered economic and social egalitarianism-lives on, and is stronger than ever before in the West. Now completely updated to include post-war Communist movements in Eastern Europe, Britain, America, South Africa and China, this book is the most detailed record yet of the leading Jewish role in Communism. The conclusion discusses the reasons for Jewish extremist behavior, based on an understanding of group evolutionary psychology.

Fascists and communists have hated each other since forever, and the Nazis and USSR especially. The USSR probably threw in some Nazi imagery to make the Soviets hate Japan. Plus the Japanese were signatories with Nazi Germany in the anti-comintern pact.

When the Nazis invaded the USSR they were pretty fucking brutal, and the USSR lost the most people of any nation in WWII. Also when the USSR invaded Nazi Germany (specially Berlin), their retaliation was so bad that Nazi soldiers actually ran away from the Eastern front, all the way across Berlin, so that they could surrender to the US/France/Britain instead of the USSR.

Hollywood uses a lot of the same techniques against Arabs, some of it may be slicker and more subtle, but other times it's equally oafish and hyperbolic.

There is an excellent book, Mantle of Command: FDR at War 1941-1942, which covers US decision-making prior to Pearl Harbor and then after.

After Pearl Harbor, the majority of US generals wanted to try to do the Normandy invasion... in 1942.

FDR knew that the US was at that time not equipped, trained, or prepared to pierce the Atlantic Wall and retake Hitler's Fortress Europe.

Rather, much to the chagrin of his generals including Marshall and other famed American commanders, Roosevelt pushed for an invasion of North Africa instead of Europe.

Operation Torch included much of the precursors to a European liberation, including amphibious invasion. In addition to providing the US with tactical experience, Torch had the strategic benefit of forcing the Axis to defend an area from Norway to North Africa, stretching their supply lines and men across a wide front.

It's a patriotic display of this guy.

I liked this particular poster cause unlike most post-Soviet propaganda it's original, beautifully done and goes into relatively ancient history.

If it's not obvious, his portrait is made of Cyrillic words. Looks like something he himself would write cause it mentions Grand Duchy of Lithuania he associated himself with.

I'm also not sure how to translate "родные даты", it literally names "dates related to you by blood" and I've tried "dear dates".

>This cartoon depicts the morbid circumstances under which suffragettes (like Alice Paul) were force-fed after they were arrested while campaigning for women's rights. Notice that the man, a politician, holds her down with a box that reads "ICWT." This acronym stands for "In Corruption We Trust," a reference to the politicians who would not allow women equal rights with men.

So it looks like this particular cartoon actually appears to be pro-suffragette.

Oh, I see. From what I've found, it was from this exhibit --

This is a book, obviously, but it was originally an art exhibit according to Flickr.

>"There was a Muggle once named Mohandas Gandhi," Harry said to the floor. "He thought the government of Muggle Britain shouldn't rule over his country. And he refused to fight. He convinced his whole country not to fight. Instead he told his people to walk up to the British soldiers and let themselves be struck down, without resisting, and when Britain couldn't stand doing that any more, we freed his country. I thought it was a very beautiful thing, when I read about it, I thought it was something higher than all the wars that anyone had ever fought with guns or swords. That they'd really done that, and that it had actually worked." Harry drew another breath. "Only then I found out that Gandhi told his people, during World War II, that if the Nazis invaded they should use nonviolent resistance against them, too. But the Nazis would've just shot everyone in sight. And maybe Winston Churchill always felt that there should've been a better way, some clever way to win without having to hurt anyone; but he never found it, and so he had to fight." ...."the point is, saying violence is evil isn't an answer. It doesn't say when to fight and when not to fight. It's a hard question and Gandhi refused to deal with it, and that's why I lost some of my respect for him." hpmor

I was going to say that the origin of hello as a greeting is likely older than that, but you are right on target with the it's rise in popularity.

'droidfooding is a reference to the software engineering practice of dogfooding, or using your own technology for the sake of testing (derives from the phrase "eating your own dogfood").

I'm not promoting political views. I was simply making a joke. Hell I'm surprised I got upvoted as well. Usually people don't take kindly to my frank and nasty language.

And I wouldn't say that Capitalism boils down to what is in The Wealth of Nations, nor would I say that Communism boils down to The Communist Manifesto. There's plenty of emphasis of gender and racial inequality in a lot of communist works.

Agreed.

The Germans were terrified that the communists and Jews would take away their free speech and guns.

The German people thought they had more freedoms under Hitler than under the Weimar Republic. Hitler promised to protect their free speech.

Communists and socialists were a lesser target of the second iteration of the KKK and may have been a part of its reformation. This page has some interesting citations if you have access to ProQuest. If not, I can try and pull the text of the articles later.

EDIT: Here is the relevant part of one of the articles.

If you care to dive in further, a 1985 speech by the German President is considered a major turing point of how the war's end was seen in West Germany.

> "We do not stand alone". Nazi propaganda poster from 1936. The woman is holding a baby and the man is holding a shield inscribed with the title of Nazi Germany's 1933 Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring (their compulsory sterilization law). The couple is in front of a map of Germany, surrounded by the flags of nations which had enacted (to the left) or were considering (bottom and to the right) similar legislation.

I believe the original word and sound was norðrmenn; the character Ð/ð sounds like -th in English "them". The name was "northmenn" in other words.

You can hear an accurate version of "norður" in Old Norse/Icelandic here.

None of the Soviet Eastern Europe invasions reached anywhere close to the death tolls of Vietnam or Korea. Also you have to include government’s overthrown by the US such as Indonesia where the US backed dictatorship did Stalin level mass murder (as a percentage of the population not total victim count). this is a good book about that subject

But you're still using malicious language to push away people you disagree with. In calling them SJWs you're encouraging them to shy away from you and retreat further into their own echo chambers. Then they talk to other people who make these claims of persecution and are more likely to continue it. So by making fun of them you actively encourage their behavior. If all you want to do is get a quick laugh while not helping the problem at all, continue as you are. But if you want to try to solve these problems of our culture you have to empathize with these people so you can better combat their hatred.

>If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Guy on the far left is probably member of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). His leaflet says:

> For Soviet Russia! China [for] the Chinese! Beat the Fascists! Civil War! Class Warfare!

Next to him, a (likely Jewish?) journalist or general man of the press.

Then maybe a Social Democrat? He holds in his hand a leaflet which says:

>Hitler Barons! [Reference to the Nazis' courting of the reactionary elite and industry]

>Agitation and Slander!

>The Fat Cats live in Bacon*, the People Live In the Dirt

*"To live like maggots in bacon" is a common saying that refers to parasitical, freeloading life.

§48 refers to the constitutional provision with which the president could rule without parliament in case of a State of Emergency.

>1. In the event of a State not fulfilling the duties imposed upon it by the Reich Constitution or by the laws of the Reich, the President of the Reich may make use of the armed forces to compel it to do

>2. If public security and order are seriously disturbed or endangered within the German Reich, the President of the Reich may take measures necessary for their restoration, intervening if need be with the assistance of the armed forces. For this purpose he may suspend for a while, in whole or in part, the fundamental rights provided in Articles 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124 and 153

>3. The President of the Reich must inform the Reichstag without delay of all measures taken in accordance with Paragraphs 1 or 2 of this Article. These measures are to be revoked on the demand of the Reichstag.

>4. If danger is imminent, a State government may, for its own territory, take temporary measures as provided in Paragraph 2. These measures are to be revoked on the demand of the President of the Reich or of the Reichstag.

>5. Details are to be determined by a law of the Reich.

Capitalized sounds are stressed. That's how it's pronounced, not how it's spelled, hence all these 'o' -> [a], 'e' -> [i] etc.

[u] in this case is pronounced as 'oo', as in 'foot'.
[au] are two different sounds, like [au] in 'down', not like [o] in 'Australia'.

'Ti' is not a very accurate transliteration of 'ты', but you can listen to the original here.

But there's not enough yellowing for something 90-100 years old. I have paperback books that are 30 years old that show a lot more yellowing and it increases at the edges. I don't find the quality of the paper credible for something that old. I think it's a reproduction or an outright counterfeit.

Here's a reproduction of the same pamphlet, but identified as a "dupe", which I assume means it is a duplication.

The group, though, did exist. It was founded by a rich woman opposed to change: >Josephine Marshall Jewell Dodge, née Josephine Marshall Jewell (born Feb. 11, 1855, Hartford, Conn., U.S.—died March 6, 1928, Cannes, France), American pioneer in the day nursery movement.

>Josephine Jewell was of a prominent family. She left Vassar College after three years in 1873 to accompany her father, who had just been appointed U.S. minister to Russia, to St. Petersburg. Returning to the United States in 1874, she married Arthur M. Dodge, a member of a family active in New York business. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/167579/Josephine-Marshall-Jewell-Dodge

This is from a special issue of the Colliers magazine from October 1951, dreaming about how the US-led force would defeat the Soviet Union and bring freedom and democracy to those enslaved Russians. The cover art of these deep dark geopolitical fantasies has been widely circulated on the Russian internet since early-mid 2000s, presented as a proof of America's everlasting hostile intentions towards Russia.

It's interesting to note that Western forces in the story started dropping nukes at Soviet cities first, which is obviously not a bad thing to do, while Soviet retaliatory strikes are described as 'terror bombing'.

Soviet propaganda, in comparison, preferred not to engage in such kind of wishful thinking, especially after WW2. Where there was a need to describe a utopian communist society of the far future spanning the whole planet, the events leading to its establishment were always left as vague and nondescript as possible, or simply not mentioned at all.

Check out the book "Dr. Seuss goes to war". They show his political work throughout ww2 with context. Lots of the images are super racist but you can really get an interesting perspective of how people actually felt with how he laid out info.

That 60 on the lower right corner makes me think it could be from 2008

Labourers are obviously more expendable than slaves because you don't own labourers and they can leave whenever they want. Just because slave owners dehumanised african's, doesn't mean they didn't vie for their physical safety. Slaves were their legal property, you don't throw away a tool (the most disgusting part, honestly). Many did mistreat them, obviously, brilliantly portrayed in 12 Years a Slave, but usually for their sadistic needs, usually coated in religious fervour.

Frederick Douglass (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, 1845) wrote about how slavery was perpetuated, and it wasn't by whipping them until they stopped running away, it was by never allowing them to conceive the idea of running away as an option. They were conditioned into their environment, kept ignorant from birth about pretty much everything, had all evidence of their origin, culture, language erased, force bred like cattle to produce only physically capable slaves, and a lot more sick and twisted dehumanising tactics to make Slave owners day to day lives easier.

The reason pretty much every other immigrant had an easier time adapting is because they did not lose their history, family, culture or origins. They know where they are from, and usually have that place to return to. They had families that educated them in their ways, and lived in America by choice. They had anti-immigrant backlash, that seems to be a timeless human trait, but that is nothing compared to the treatment of Africans, and African Americans.

Please point out exactly where I called you names. I'm sorry if what I said offended you but I don't feel like I insulted you or said anything untrue. And no, I do not believe a poster for lotion is propaganda. This is propaganda because it is "information... of a <strong>biased</strong> or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view". The artist is biased, and created the poster in question to promote their view of Islam. I'm not saying the poster is false.

Yeah, those are great! There's lots of 'em, with this footnote:

I like this one.

I just sent this to my wife today, who's always asking such questions. I don't know whether there's an iOS equivalent, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Here's a breakdown of how the military goes about performing drone strikes. The passage you're looking for is as follows:

> In the complex world of remote killing in remote locations, labeling the dead as “enemies” until proven otherwise is commonplace, said an intelligence community source with experience working on high-value targeting missions in Afghanistan, who provided the documents on the Haymaker campaign. The process often depends on assumptions or best guesses in provinces like Kunar or Nuristan, the source said, particularly if the dead include “military-age males,” or MAMs, in military parlance. “If there is no evidence that proves a person killed in a strike was either not a MAM, or was a MAM but not an unlawful enemy combatant, then there is no question,” he said. “They label them EKIA.”

but you should really read the whole thing if you haven't heard this stuff.

I will say that I can't find anything to support my sixteen number, but I'm sure anyone operating in the Middle East would attest to the fact that teenagers fight alongside the adults quite often.

But the fact that they label any dead male that can't be proven to not be a combatant as a combatant is incredibly disturbing. (Note that a lot of people published this information, including the New York Times; a search of the phrase "drone military age male" will give you plenty of examples of this.)

Karl Popper and Pentecostal Historiography -

"Abstract:

Karl Popper argued that science proceeds not by induction but by offering explanatory theories that scientists then attempt to falsify. What cannot be falsified falls outside the realm of science. In applying his ideas to the writing of history, Popper was particularly scathing about Marxist predictions of future historical development. But he did believe history could be written by looking at the situations in which historical figures found themselves and the problems they attempted to solve. Pentecostal historiography has been divided into four main types: the providential, the historical roots, the multicultural, and the functional. When each of these types is analyzed and judged against Popper's strictures against induction, we find, among other things, that the unfashionable providential account need not be ruled out."

If you ignore all the proof I gave you, then I have no proof! I mean here they are if you really didn't look through the Wikipedia entry. A 5 on the AP history test is impressive and all; but that doesn't mean you're an authority on American History. The articles about the Fbi and representation in the Police force only supplement the Historical context. I don't really know what you stand to gain by purporting the idea that slavery and enforcement of it was a conspiracy theory.

I found another painting on the crew, possibly from the same artist since the ship is depicted the same way: http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/klpoigv72-00/imgs/b/b/bba13f56.png

I also don't know what sort of spin you mean to impart by it coming from 'abroad'. Does the Guardian just not understand Swedish culture? It doesn't matter anyway, since their quotes of condemnation come straight from the PM after the release of a government report.

Very interesting--thanks for posting! It's always tough to find printed materials from that regime.

FYI, this is the cover to a pamphlet whose full contents are available at archive.org. As it is printed entirely in English, I'd assume it was directed toward fundraising efforts.

Wow, I thought you were exaggerating but you are totally right. I checked abebooks.com though (they haven't let me down thus far when it comes to finding obscure texts on obscure subjects), and they seem to have a number of analyses issued by US Army Command and General Staff College Link

It is WWI, it's from 1917, it also says "subscribe to the war loan" This is the artist's wiki page.

It's a dramatization. Are you familiar with the term? See the mother, begging to not have her infant child sold away?

The purpose of a dramatization is to help you visualize, feel, and understand something. If you look around you, you'll see dramatizations everywhere.

From vocabulary.com:

>A dramatization is the acting out of something. You see these a lot in documentaries on TV––there will be a dramatization of the JFK assassination, using actors to show what happened on that fateful day. Dramatization is a great way to cement learning. If you make a skit in your class showing how photosynthesis works, you are much more likely to remember it.

> First off, US was founded on slavery.

Eh. Maybe I'm being pedantic, but while a lot of them owned slaves, a lot of them were smart enough to know that slavery violated the idea of natural rights. The problem was that they let it slide because there was no way you could have had a unified United States if you outlawed slavery. Here's a little information on the topic.

It only took about 75 years for a civil war to break out and the entire thing to fall apart anyway. If they would have rejected slavery from the get go, and only allowed non slave owning states into the union, things would have been so much better.

But, I don't think for a second that the US was founded on slavery as you said. It was founded because they wanted to unify to defend themselves from Europe. They opted to allow slavery in order to ensure this unification.

This poster was given to us by the same person who gave us this one.

I tried to OCR & translate the text in the footers, but http://www.newocr.com is having trouble recognizing the characters -- I may have rotated them a couple of degrees. :7( Can anyone who reads/speaks Russian help?

It was recently re-released (last July) by Warner Archive, I imagine because the name is likely to draw attention, so it seems all the easy to find online versions have been taken down.

You can buy it from Amazon or wait until someone posts it under the title "Hitler's Women" which is bound to be less popular than the title with 'Bondage' in it.

A great book about the way that the USFS got forest management disastrously wrong--despite mostly good intentions--is Nancy Langston's Forest Dreams, Forest Nightmares. The tl;dr is that the policy of rapid suppression of natural fires, combined with ecological changes brought on by clearcutting, led to the current situation in which we have far more combustible material than can be handled either by more human fire suppression or by natural fire cycles. The only hope is to invest huge amounts in controlled burns, but we are spending all of our forest management money (and then some) on fighting fires after the fact. The reality is that Western US forests will be burning for decades and will eventually transition to a new ecological regime.

Here's the link to the tweet.

I first saw this on mashable, where they have the text of some of the tweets, and say:

There is an article from Buzzfeed that discusses the proposed defense authorization bill, and a provision it contains, that would strike down the Smith-Mundt Act. This act prohibits certain broadcasts within the US that the US government currently creates only for foreigners.

During the 70s the East German postal service started printing a series of Vietnam stamps (called "Unbesiegbares Vietnam" or "Invincible Vietnam"). The West German postal service did send all the letters with such a stamp back and refused to deliver them.

Alright this is pretty basic since I'm new as well but there's a few random things I've come across that might help you.

• Putting a picture of wrinkled paper, a dirty floor, rusty metal, etc. in a new layer and decreasing the opacity is a really good way to add texture and make simple shapes look more like a legit poster instead of a kids book illustration. Make sure you play around with the blending modes and color balance until you get what you like. You can also ctrl+click on the layer icon with a shape to select the shape, then go to the texture layer, invert the selection, and delete. This will make only the shape you originally selected have the texture.

• http://www.1001freefonts.com/ When you download a font from a site like this, just open the file and hit install and it should show up in Photoshop

• http://paletton.com/ This lets you design your own color palette easily, and you can copy and paste the code in the "RGB" box to the RGB box in the color selector in photoshop to get the same color.

• If you want to design something based on a photo, the "cutout" filter is a really easy way to break the picture down into simplified shapes and colors. You can work from there and combine it with other effects and layers, or just use it as reference.

These were definitely posters, although I was intrigued to see if they was also a playing card size produced, as I had never seen any in that form.

Google and I can find no evidence that they were ever published in a small format. The wiki page for them shows that they are used on a lot of pages on wikipedia, but none of them mention a small size, and the UNT link I posted upthread has no mention of them also being cards. Same with the Library of Congress.

> Today its private company's leading the way rather than government programs and they are making faster progress.

Haha, sure bro, keep believing this. Space exploration today is just a pale shadow of what it was during the cold war. The sheer scale or achievements are nothing like they were back then. SpaceX is just a sad joke that excels at marketing, not space exploration. And they won't even exist if they were not subsidized by the government. watch this documentary if you want to know more:

If you're ignorant of what a word means, don't get mad when people point out you're misusing it. It's not even splitting hairs, here, since the definitions are pretty neatly boiled down.

• Capitalism: Firms are privately owned and directed

• Socialism: Firms are owned and directed by their workers

• Communism: Forms are owned and directed by the legal government

If you're really going to argue that the presence of welfare and other government programs equates to Socialism, then the USA and almost every other country in the world, is Socialist and you can't blame Capitalism for anything since it doesn't exist.

Read up on Marx and the origins of these systems before you preach against the capitalist pigs who built your phone/computer, Reddit, and the Internet.

Fortunately, Capitalism has provided convenient access to such education!

Your suggestion might work in some modern military settings, but not all. As such, I suppose you might be correct. Granted, it might not work in all military engagements (E.G. current military engagements of the US army in the middle east).

It might be worthy to note that many of The Art of War's most used quotes are generic enough to not become outdated.

good book about an amazing story

https://www.amazon.com/Black-Red-Years-Inside-Soviet/dp/0874918855/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=1DZDGRO7MZ3CQ&amp;keywords=black+on+red+robert+robinson&amp;qid=1669783078&amp;sprefix=black+on+red%2Caps%2C247&amp;sr=8-1

Tell me you know nothing about SA history without using those words.

The brits created concentration camps to prevent the commandos from getting resupplied DURING THE WAR, this and the use of roaming troop columns combined with fortification of the rail lines lead to the defeat of the boers.

ONLY THEN did the bittereinders form up and start a rebellion. The fucking reason the bittereinders got created was in response to kitchener and his scorched earth policies.

go read a book, i can recommend this one

PS In what war is a supply line not a valid target?

Well you are dictionary correct: Propaganda I can't help but question it the difference between the verb and the noun. While the verb can absolutely have an entirely factual stance I would suggest the noun always has an opinion written into the subtext.

Ex.

1)She says "I am propagating the idea that the banana is yellow."

2)She said "My propaganda is that the idea that the banana is yellow"

Have different meanings despite having fairly similar words. (sorry I can't do any better)

So while the verb and noun can be present in the picture source above, one would never say 2) seriously. Or to put it a bit more succinctly: no one would seriously say:

"Don't eat the yellow snow" // "during earthquakes stay away from glass"

...are propaganda, although both are propagating information. Like I said, by the dictionary you are correct, but if you said "Have you heard the propaganda campaign that there isn't much oxygen in space", you would expect someone to look at you strangely and 'correct' you saying it was a fact/PSA and not propaganda. Am I wrong? Does that make sense?

It's interesting to go through the history of Atomic warfare, the book "War Stars" is a history of "superweapons" throughout history, from iron clad ships to the neutron bomb.

https://www.amazon.com/War-Stars-Superweapon-American-Imagination/dp/1558496513

What was striking for me was that not only was the nuclear bomb first developed and used by the USA, but every escalation in the arms race since then was by the US: the Fusion bomb, the long range bomber, ICBM's, MIRV and Neutron bomb ...

Heh, responses of Kemal's cult followers are so formulaic...they are blind nationalists just like Russians who can't get over politics of first half of 20th century and have no idea why they come across as grotesque to Europe in particular and the World in general.

https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/saturdayextra/turkey/6501944

Keep in mind, the violence of French Revolution is exaggerated greatly in a formulaic way for most folks in English speaking world. This goes back to even before the Revolution had any significant violence(!), i.e. Edmund Burke's polemic against the uppity 97% of the population doing something about monopoly on power of the other 3%.

The number of people who ended up under the guillotine during the so-called reign of Terror was perhaps 15,000--in a country of 27 million.

Per-capita deaths in English and American revolutions are actually pretty comparable to what happened in France.

tldr; lots of propaganda about French Revolution, shaped by Cold War, Bolshevism, etc. Do your own research before resorting to easy cliches:

https://www.amazon.com/New-World-Begins-History-Revolution-ebook/dp/B07QFPZ129

Japanese were much more subtle in running their empire than the Germans and acquiring higher-quality leadership as collaborators. Mark Mazower goes into the topic in some depth, contrasting the two approaches: > > Bastianini pointed—as so many critics were doing in Rome, Berlin and indeed Tokyo—to the example of the Japanese in east Asia, who appeared (at least from Europe) to have brilliantly combined hegemony with an appeal to the national sentiments of the other peoples of the region in a kind of anti-imperialist crusade. Why could the Axis not do the same thing? Why remain trapped in a passive, negative approach to war aims which ceded all the ground to the United Nations, and not be more energetic in proclaiming the social and economic virtues of an Axis victory, and the positive consequences of eventual liberation from the twin threats of Soviet Bolshevism and American plutocracy?

Sadly, his cult of personality is still a big part of children's brainwashing and a touchstone for fascistic Nationalism even to this day:

Somewhat like Russia has never dealt with its past and moved on, Turkey also seems stuck in the politics of interwar dystopia.

Another funny thing is how Churchill sidelined in common Western imaginary ("history will be kind to me for I intend to write it") role of someone who was far more important in winning WWII: Franklin Roosevelt. It's so embarrassing for British people who actually know history that it took a historian from those islands to point this out in clear terms (Republicans in US also downplay their own leader's role because they've never forgiven FDR for the New Deal):

https://www.amazon.com/Commander-Chief-FDRs-Battle-Churchill-ebook/dp/B011H55OG6

Churchill gave morale boosting speeches when he took over--right after fall of France--and maintained an air of pugnacity, but his military ideas were consistently terrible (quote from British Chief of Staff to effect that 99 out of 100 ideas coming from PM's office are a nuisance; Churchill's military meddling and harebrained schemes had united every political strand to agree on pushing him out of Whitehall during WWI too) and once the American economy geared up (80,000 planes!) and Russian war machine started churning out T34s, the game was over for the Nazis.

You can also buy a shirt with an Italian fascist propaganda poster on it that doesn't mean Americans are often saying "SI"

> The lemonade dispensing machine with one glass for all, was after everyone was vaccinated and killer diseases were eradicated during 1950s and 1960s.

For anyone else curious what this looked like

The joke is originating from Germany though. There are several versions of it. I know of a German version, French, version, American version and an American version.

See here for example:;http://www.wikiwand.com/de/Arier

>Public high school.

And the books call it a genocide?

>Your biases and ignorance are painfully obvious based on the assumptions you keep making.

Why are you angry? Your personal experience does not speak for the whole education system.

Your government has not acknowledged you have commited a genocide

https://truthout.org/articles/the-united-states-has-still-not-acknowledged-it-committed-genocide-against-indigenous-peoples/

So there is no real obligation to teach it as such. You speak of state law. What about Federal Law? Germanies recognition of the holocaust is written into state law.

Cheers. It would be my pleasure to engage in a conversation on history.

Matter of fact, I recently started a podcast on a bit of an odd historical project tied into the biographies of 17 ordinary Canadian soldiers in WWI.

Listen Here

Please let me know what you think, feedback would be great, this is my first podcast. If you have any questions regarding the Great War, do please PM me and we can engage in a discussion of this epoch of human history.

Doing a tineye search only turns up this Russian LJ page.

Obligatory “you’re a Nazi” again.

Hard to be a Nazi when you’re a Jew but here we go again. Also I’m not a centrist I’m a very moderate right winger, between centrism and conservativism. What is commonly known as a Liberal Democrat in Britain.

I like that statement at the end of You’re for rehabilitating Nazis - the very thing I’ve been advocating for throughout. Turns out you can’t rehabilitate a dead body and it’s fairly hard to appeal to reason when you’re beating the shit out of them.

The rest I’m ignoring because it makes little sense and is clearly out of anger rather than reason.

No it’s called the deviance amplification spiral, it’s not a Nazi concept (especially given that it’s been adopted by Neo-Marxists in some cases), and has been cited as very useful. Ignore it at your own peril. Young also contributed a fair bit to it,

https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/mattyp99/young-study-chambliss-study

Here’s a fairly condensed version of the study. They found that the more the police cracked down the more severe the violence became

Its also laughable that you’ve jumped to “that’s Nazi propaganda” when it actuality it’s just a well known sociological concept. I’m using that to rationalise the data, not my own opinion. You can rationalise it differently but you must provide some evidence or theory. Apologies that I didn’t make that clearer sooner.

If I was so concerned with only hearing out Nazis why would I be here? And why would I not be hearing out Nazis?

I mean the Richard spencer link actually called for terrorism in response to antifa so I’m not sure what that’s saying?

That last bits very good. I simply think preventative measures over violence is the best solution. Our goals are the same, it is our means that differ. You seem to think that just because our means differ I’m the biggest fan of Adolf Hitler. Perhaps we’d get more done if we’d stop arguing and came to a reasonable conclusion?

I have a book called Dr. Seuss Goes to War that is interesting reading.

We have a long history of letting our emotions drive us into misplaced anger with tragic consequences.

Hey, the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor, let’s round up the Japanese Americans.

Hey, we’re the aggressor in a shitty little war in Southeast Asia. Let’s piss all over returning veterans.

Hey, a bunch of Saudi Arabians blew up a couple towers in New York. Let’s invade Iraq. And Afghanistan. And create a massive new government agency and the “Patriot Act.”

FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_II_of_Russia#Tsarevich_Alexei.27s_illness_and_Rasputin

"Son of Nicholas, prince Alexei was afflicted with Haemophilia B, a hereditary disease that prevents blood from clotting properly, which at that time was untreatable and usually led to an untimely death.

...

At first Alexandra turned to Russian doctors and medics to treat Alexei; however, their treatments generally failed, and Alexandra increasingly turned to mystics and holy men (or starets as they were called in Russian). One of these starets, an illiterate Siberian named Grigori Rasputin, appeared to have some success. Rasputin's influence over Empress Alexandra, and consequently the Tsar himself, had grown stronger ever since 1912, when the Tsarevich nearly died from an injury."

Fun fact: Latino is a word made by colonizers not by its own people.

As a somewhat different take on the idea of women helping the Greek resistance, carrying guns rather than supplies, here is a photo I like published by the ELAS resistance movement.

Note, as far as I'm aware only Serbian is commonly written in Cyrillic. At least I've never seen Croatian written in anything but Latin, and doing otherwise would probably rub certain people the wrong way.

However, I don't think the Cyrillic text is Serbian either because it uses a dialect (ijekavica) that usually isn't used in Serbian. I wager it's meant to be Montenegrin.

EDIT: It's an excerpt from Gorski vijenac, a very famous work of literature. So it's an older form of Serbian-Montenegrin.

More from the Women's Library on Pinterest I'm guessing Greenham Common period (1982-2000).

Actually learnings from u731 unit might have been used in Korean war. US did cover up those war crimes as well under same explanation you use « Victim accounts were then largely ignored or dismissed in the west as communist propaganda »

You can remain unconvinced and we will leave it as that. I'm not too interested in winning internet arguments, I care about winning itself (ie having a more accurate model of the world so that it makes my life easier. In my model, I can tell Chinese apart from Koreans, which is important to me as I interact with Asians a lot and I need to take guess on if I can open with Chinese without being awkward). there's no need for me to try to convince you, because you don't really have to distinguish eastern asians often, so in a way there's no utility for you to have a good model for it to begin with, and all your utilities of this discussion is mere joy of engaging in a fun conversation, which I also partake a bit, but now I'm bit tired haha.

I am interested in informing people some aspects of human cognition and how one might build intelligent systems, as that is my profession. I wanted to make a point that most intelligent behavior cannot be explained precisely. Yet they are very much there. You cannot equate the absence of evidence (we cannot put our thoughts down) as evidence of absence (these thoughts don't exist).

I'll recommend a book, I think you'll love reading it: https://www.amazon.com/Intelligence-Understanding-Creation-Intelligent-Machines/dp/0805078533/ref=asc_df_0805078533/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=312128454859&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=15212167967973829188&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvp...

Some of its ideas are pretty unrealistic, but it's a fairly good summary of what we know of neuroscience and cognitive science in the past few decades. I enjoyed reading it a lot.

yep.

they were a thing, still are.

Yes, apparently. The previous commenters mentioned a multi-ethnic propaganda campaign, and the text is obviously Yiddish, the official language of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast.

A good book about all this tragic nonsense is Where the Jews aren’t : the sad and absurd story of Birobidzhan, Russia’s Jewish autonomous region by Marsha Gessen (Penguin, 2016).

There are other potential futures yes, history in societies has moved backwards and sideways at times. Progress does not march forwards endlessly. Four Futures discusses some possibilities -

Communism, I don't need to explain this.

Rentism, is what the bourgeoisie are trying to push capitalism towards as a solution to existing contradictions while maintaining the hierarchical power structure.

Socialism, again I don't need to explain.

Exterminism, the bourgeoisie kill off the the working class after achieving automation at large scale because they no longer require us for work. They then transition to a communistic society for themselves.

It's important however to recognise that these are all potential outcomes that are still a result of class struggle, they just couldn't be envisioned in Marx's time because automation was never a possibility then.

It's also important to understand that we don't really consider this to be a "finality" to human progress. It is a finality to the cycle of class struggle, because there will eventually only be one class. Our existing society is dominated by class struggle because it is the largest contradiction in our society. There will be other contradictions in the future that take the main stage, and society will be impacted by them in ways we probably can't imagine right now.

A book I got for $1 once in a bargain bin and I've never seen mentioned before is diary of gulag prison guard. Its dry but I loved it. It cleared up a lot of misconceptions I had

He was head of the guards but he was a prisoner as well. Just an educated prisoner with a light crime. He lamented constantly he had no intellectuals to talk to. He felt for the plight of the other prisoners. He missed plays and books. He sketched for fun and wrote poetry. He asked free people to not take normal outings to theater or parties or just colors for granted. He missed colors.

It depends what specifically you’re interested in. The background and lead up to the Holocaust? The ideological justifications and their origins? The war experience of a typical German civilian? There is a vast Holocaust and general WWII literature and there’s a lot of variety within it, so it might help if you clarify a bit what you’re looking for.

This book was really good for disabusing me of the notion that the Holocaust was something that emerged ex nihilo:

Though it can be hard to get a hold of.
