Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

“The winds of change were never warm.”

This is the story behind the story—the Cold War’s beginning told without the sugarcoating. From Stalin’s stolen chair to Truman’s frozen silence, this isn’t your textbook history. It’s a poetic, brutal unpacking of American myth and manufactured consent.

Do you think Truman’s decision to nuke Japan was justified? Why or why not? Curious to know how others see this.

of course not, I think it would be really hard to ever justify dropping a nuke, but especially because they specifically chose areas that would have the most civilian and non-military casualties. It was just an atrocity, and it did not end the war, the Soviets did that.

Exactly. The decision wasn’t just militarily unnecessary—it was strategically theatrical. They deliberately targeted high-civilian zones to make a global statement, not to win a war that was already collapsing. The Soviet entry into the Pacific front was the death blow. The bombs were about power projection, not peace. I appreciate your insight, my friend—it’s wild how normalized this atrocity is in mainstream U.S. education.
