Moscow status?

>>2869172
Russia isn't well documented by holocaust remembrance organizations for its rehabilitation of nazi collaborators

Part of the issue is Ukraine lacks statehood traditions so its non Soviet figures are a grab bag of bad people from political vacuums often propped up by European powers

The other issue is post Soviet Russia simply didn't degenerate as a state like Ukraine did and did not become politically divided. Putinism is a historically moderate position trying to straddle and suppress every side of Russian politics after 1990s polarization that simply never ended in Ukraine

Ukraine has unique conditions for fascism that pretty much reflect how it is one of the nations most squeezed by the globalizing world up to now yet has no revolutionary prospects. What filled the void of a struggle against international capital is a struggle against ethnic minorities on behalf of it, which is why color revolutions started combining neolibs and neonazis in a dire sign of an incoming European threat to Russia after the 2008 crisis impacted the EU and changed its politics

Factor in American decline since then and you get a lot of states coming after Russians due to regression and none of it has anything to do with Russian regression

count yourself lucky. my dad is an autistic lib failson from a bourgeois family who got a woman (my mother) way younger than him pregnant because he really believed her when she said she couldn't get pregnant. neither of them bothered to raise me and my relationship with them is more one of distant and vague friendship than a typical child-parent relationship.

your daddy might make you worship stalin but at least you were raised with a value system of some sort. I had to discover socialism on my own.

President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday finalized rules imposing stricter limits on how long foreign students and journalists may stay in the United States, tightening legal immigration.

Puerto Rico announces emergency water rationing as drought worsens
Thousands of people in the island’s northeast region face 48-hour rationing periods from Friday, said Luis González, executive president of the island’s water and sewer authority. The rationing program will affect several communities in the cities of Canovanas and Rio Grande as temperatures keep rising. “There’s just not enough water,” he said, adding that rationing will likely be extended to other areas.

Another federal agency wants in on student loans
Administration officials, who have been discussing the idea in small industry groups, are trying to attract the private sector, according to two people who participated in one of the meetings. The plan, they said, involves having the Small Business Administration spearhead the program, even though the agency was passed over as the new home of the nation’s student loan portfolio. Experts and former agency officials see two compounding problems: A similar program failed spectacularly not that long ago, and SBA, a small agency that typically works with businesses rather than individuals, has a history of failing to combatfraud andconduct oversight.

David Sirota's Lever Time: We’re Still Living In The 2016 Election
Ten years ago this week, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) ended his first presidential run and endorsed Hillary Clinton. Now, his chief strategist says the primary process was rigged. Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Tad Devine, longtime political consultant and chief strategist for Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign. Devine reveals why he believes the Democratic National Committee tilted the scales against Sanders, why his populist message has staying power, and why the biggest obstacle in future elections is the Democratic Party itself.

Richard Wolff on the Left’s New Openings in 2026
In the second half of the nineteenth century, as Russia’s feudalism ended and its empire tottered, the great Russian novelist, Nikolay Chernyshevsky, reflected the deepening concerns and anxieties of his time in his 1863 novel, What Is to Be Done? It offered a socialist answer. Forty years later, a crude and rapacious capitalism had rushed in to replace Russian feudalism. The ex-serfs then began to understand that they had not escaped from exploitation as they had hoped and dreamed. Rather, they suffered a new form of it as industrial workers. Vladimir Lenin reflected the concerns and anxieties of that form in his pamphlet, with its deliberately repeated title, “What Is to Be Done?” It too offered a socialist answer. Today a declining US empire upsets and undermines US capitalism as it rattles and shakes the world economy. International laws are increasingly ignored, and crude authoritarianisms increasingly haunt domestic politics. Many around the world are asking that old question yet again — as well they should. Here is yet another socialist answer.

I think that incels are misunderstood because the term is misused by literally everyone as an insult (aggression), with differing definitions and an online cultural identity.

Before I say the following, loneliness and singleness for uncontrollable reasons are very real, you could be at a dating or a friendship handicap for a cosmetic deficit or simply location so I'm not denying any of that.

"Incel" is an arbitrary definition and an identity that someone could only suffer by knowing the word and observing it on the mirror. It is propagated by use and definition so the real "incelists" are the people that actively use the word or even call people that word. Even if it's to call out misogynist attitudes towards someone who doesn't self-identify, it reinforces the word and it's meaning.

Rightoids? They're useful , that's all, it's actually deeper. For a lot of incels, Evola is their spiritual father figure.

Review: Elem Klimov’s ‘Come and See’
The 1941 Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union is, without a doubt, one of the most harrowing events in history. To attempt to artistically represent these cruel years is a daunting task. Nevertheless, Come and See, a stunning film from 1985 directed by Elem Klimov, succeeds in doing the job. The film follows the story of a young boy named Flyora, who joined the Soviet Resistance against the Nazi war machine as a partisan. While the film is often portrayed as ‘anti-war’, this is a somewhat shallow understanding of it.

I Am Not to Blame for Unemployment Hell, and Neither Are You
Last fall, I was laid off from a staff position in higher education along with the rest of my team due to budget cuts. Seven months and one hundred applications later, I still do not have a job, and my unemployment benefits have expired. It’s a distressing situation. It’s also not exceptional. The number of workers who have been unemployed for twenty-seven weeks or longer, a category known as “long-term unemployment,” has grown to nearly two million and now constitutes 25 percent of the total unemployed population. Many workers are giving up on finding a job altogether. In June, the unemployment rate actually went down, but only because seven hundred thousand unemployed workers stopped searching and are no longer included in the official count. The crisis has been worse for black workers, who are disproportionately represented among the unemployed. Despite this trend, neither Congress nor the White House have discussed expanding unemployment benefits, as was done during the 2008–2009 financial crisis and the pandemic. Instead of addressing the problem, Donald Trump tried to hide it by attacking the Bureau of Labor Statistics, cutting the federal agency’s funding and firing its commPost too long.
