This entire thing is a pile of bullshit. Even the most basic stuff.

It doesn't even get the WWII stuff correct, which is the number 1 historical thing western historians jerk off to after Ancient Rome

And the entire Balkan war period? The one I'm old enough to fucking remember? The reason a guy named Milosevic got thrown in the slammer? Nothing?

They touched on this on the latest episode of Bad Hasbara.

Essentially, where do you draw the line? If you follow this to its logical conclusion you end up saying Israel belongs to the pre-Hebrew Caananites, the conquest of the land is part of the Bible. Abraham was from Ur if I'm not mistaken. Does Italy get Southern England because it was conquered by Rome? Does it get Egypt for that same reason? Does Iran get Iraq and Israel because the Achaemenids? Greece get Afghanistan because of Bactria? You bet your ass China gets Taiwan in this scenario.

My only real observation at this point is that I am surprised more people aren't noticing how much bullshit it all is. It does feel like it's deliberate, like they're the cartoon wolf that ran over the cliff edge and if they don't look down they won't fall. I can't fault them for clinging to that ignorance because its all they have left. I feel like speed of each new scam phenomenon is accelerating and the rate is increasing. It feels like only yesterday they were hooting about cartoon apes. Now there's AI in your microwave. Eventually the residue of the last scam will still be left on the target preventing the new scam from sticking. Eventually there's no more stretch left in the rubber band.

What does kinda frighten me (in addition to the usual concerns) is that we'll be going into the collapse more atomized than ever. With more unproductive bullshit experience from our bullshit jobs. It's daunting.

The really telling thing is they can apparently make the distinction between Nazi and Post-War Germany even when the Western half was still being run by former nazis. Hell they even routinely try to rehabilitate the Wehrmacht every so often, like some sort of hobby.

But 3 decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union they can't point out Russian connections to Trump without festooning it with hammers and sickles.

And these are the same people who expect you to believe they are capable of nuance with other thorny geopolitical issues. Yet they all rallied around the flag when President Cheeto Election Fraud, Mr Russian Disinformatskaya himself, blew up an Iranian general in Iraq.

Historically the Black Death followed the Mongol Empire so if Mongolia starts arming up better stock up on cats

We must put a stop to the brutal communist oppression in the strategically located Money Province.

This of course has nothing to do with it's strategic location or the giant piles of money there.

Please believe us.

Soon the internet will all be code words and euphemism to avoid the censors and surveillance.

I think he'd gain too little and lose too much by swinging for the fences on this one. The foreign policy propaganda is too strong and it would jeopardize his ability to critique domestic policy.

Nothing would make me, a blue haired millennial barista, angrier than if Trump made Stalin look like an anarchist.

You can probably glue it back on with some super glue. Just a little on the edges of the rubbery cover should do it.

If you want something less permanent just slap some clear packing tape over it. You'll still have enough "give" in the tape to push the buttons and since it's clear you can read what's under the tape. Then if you want to try a bigger fix later you can remove the tape.
