this blue to orange color trend in cinema is getting out of hand

confused by simple memes is the 12th type of liberalism

you are inside of the middle circle, it’s all around you

The original Bellamy salute, first described in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, who authored the original Pledge, began with a military salute, and after reciting the words “to the flag,” the arm was extended toward the flag.

At a signal from the Principal the pupils, in ordered ranks, hands to the side, face the Flag. Another signal is given; every pupil gives the flag the military salute — right hand lifted, palm downward, to a line with the forehead and close to it. Standing thus, all repeat together, slowly, "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands; one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." At the words, "to my Flag," the right hand is extended gracefully, palm upward, toward the Flag, and remains in this gesture till the end of the affirmation; whereupon all hands immediately drop to the side.

• The Youth’s Companion, 1892

Shortly thereafter, the pledge was begun with the right hand over the heart, and after reciting “to the Flag,” the arm was extended toward the Flag, palm-down.

In World War II, the salute too much resembled the Nazi salute, so it was changed to keep the right hand over the heart throughout.

Are you Adrian Zenz or just a ‘state dept leftist’?

The one that we are not preventing in the present.

there’s so many to chose from though

They are not the same, one is happening right now as I type this. The other is in the past, unable to be changed. Time is linear like that. The point of the meme is that the place where the Nazis were celebrated THEN is NOW celebrating another genocide in progress.

The subtleties of the same picture meme are lost on you.

Calling out how the West wants to call one thing a genocide that is clearly not, while also saying something is definitely not a genocide when it clearly is, that’s called pointing out hypocrisy.

The world can see it. That’s why there is so much green on the 2nd map.

“genociding people is bad” is such a hot take it makes past genocides look better than they actually were

This is the logical equivalent of a dog chasing its own tail.

Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt

international rules based order crumbling like a stale cookie, now that’s a joke

35000+ dead civilians is a joke to you?

The Myth of Tiananmen And the price of a passive press

June 4, 2010

A few people may have been killed by random shooting on streets near the square, but all verified eyewitness accounts say that the students who remained in the square when troops arrived were allowed to leave peacefully. Hundreds of people, most of them workers and passersby, did die that night, but in a different place and under different circumstances.

The Chinese government estimates more than 300 fatalities. Western estimates are somewhat higher. Many victims were shot by soldiers on stretches of Changan Jie, the Avenue of Eternal Peace, about a mile west of the square, and in scattered confrontations in other parts of the city, where, it should be added, a few soldiers were beaten or burned to death by angry workers.

Totally reads like an Onion headline.

I was wondering when crypto content would become a thing like this.

Wonder how long it would survive without US support? Probably less than a year. Mexico could reclaim their land after that.

In Israel, Labor Zionism has become nearly synonymous with the Israeli peace camp. Usually, Labor Zionist political and educational institutions activists are also advocates of a two-state solution, who do not necessarily adhere to socialist economic views.

sounds like confused liberals to me

plz tell me how the nazis are socialist next
