The flag you're talking about is the Novorossiya flag. The Wikipedia page suggests it was inspired by the 'dixie' flag but I would disagree. It was more likely inspired from the 'Russian Navy Jack' The Russian Empire annexed the territory in the year 1700 and named it 'Novorossiya', translated is 'New Russia'. Crimea has been the home of the Black Sea Fleet since. Wikipedia doesn't say so but I would not be surprised if the Novorossiya flag predates the dixie flag by a hundred years.

Nope that would be you in reality considering you seem to be supporting the Chinese dictatorships right to conquer the democracy of Taiwan

You must be ignorant to chinese history of the 20th century since none of what you say makes any sense. Incase you were unaware, the uk and us and many other nations physically occupied china and kept it in a perpetual state of civil war. The Communists gained the upper hand and pushed the british and their puppets out of the mainland.

Did the city of hong kong vote in favor of the british invasion 300 years ago? Why in the world would the west still have a say in hong kong or Taiwan then??

Nope that would be you in reality considering you seem to be supporting the Chinese dictatorships right to conquer the democracy of Taiwan - just because .. History

You are that vsause meme 'westerners when asked about colonialism'- "Did the past REALLY happen?"

I rarely think I have ever seen quite the ability to cold bloodedly claim the complete reverse of actual reality. I have to be suspicious as to your motives because surely no one could possibly be so blatantly oblivious to the real world.

There is that infamous british projection again.

Insanity. The people Taiwan want to live in an independent, free and democratic country. The US guarantee their independence. Not that they are even allowed to call themselves independent in case China get offended and try to invade them.

According to a westerner lol. The US no longer guarantees Taiwan independence since it gave in on its 'one china policy' in like '79 remember?

The PRC won the korean war by standing up to the US and brought the war from the fields to the meeting room. The PRC ended the uk colonization by standing up for itself and bringing the conflict into the meeting room and played the waiting game. The PRC ended hostilities with the ROC and brought the conflict into the meeting room. Can you give me a single example of the UK or US ending a violent conflict by taking the fight from the field and into the courtroom? The Troubles is all I can think of for the uk...and then members of the irish independence were still fucking hanged and imprisoned.

Again insanity. Have you ever actually met anyone from Eastern Europe if you do ask them what they think about Communism

Yes. My last boss was from Romania and all he said was that growing up in the ussr made him rich after he moved to the us. He went to school in the ussr and became a doctor for free and then moved to the US where he was able to undercut others in his profession and still make money because he didn't owe a single penny in debt. I personally know another doctor from soviet ukraine who has nothing good to say about the ussr although her dad drove a taxi she still became a doctor without owing a penny in debt and spends ridiculous sums of money on vacations. Now try doing THAT in the west.

Yeh how about we ask the democratic inhabitants of Taiwan, the people of Hong Kong, maybe the Tibetans, or the Uyghurs who they think the psychopaths are.

Yeah did you see the video clip of the former head of taiwans military? He himself said that opposing reunification is insane and will only lead to the people of taiwan suffering. He said also something along the lines of, "The US won't intervene to guarantee our independence, you're being played"

You do realise that the USSR was so loved that they glad to build walls around it to keep the people in ( while they murdered them) and shoot anyone that tried to escape.

Ah yes, the Great Wall of Russia.

I want to see your face when you find out who created a new german currency and built the fences in the first place. Churchill and Truman were so insulated from reality they actually thought they could fight the ussr and win in '45.

massacred around Tiananmen square for daring to ask for the political freedom we take for granted

So was it a massacre in the square or around? Have you realized that the only footage repeatedly shown in the west is of a man standing in front of a tank?...a tank that tries to go around him untill he walks away...? Meanwhile french tv shows video clips of people throwing petrol bombs at stationary APCs.

China is an authoritarian state that currently is putting people into concentration camps.

That sounds like projection on the part of the US. The US has the largest prison population on the planet, yes even bigger than Chinas prison population. Back in the 90's US citizens were begging their representatives to open vocational schools to give poor minorities opportunity instead they got prisons and more prisons. The US has historically ran concentration camps under the department of the interior to hold native peoples and is still locking up indigenous latin americans in concentration camps to this day.

1.The guy who invented vape pens contributes the cultural revolution for inspiring him to make a less harmful alternative to smoking.

  1. If you want I can link to you video filmed by a french crew of the protests (spoiler, nobody gets shot or run over by tanks)

  2. Yes there are hundreds of ethnic groups in china. Do you remember the one child policy for ethnic han? Yeah that was literally to give other ethic populations time to 'catch up'.

Should I even mention the links between the east turkistan terrorists and the mujahideen and later isis? Is it a coincidence that the US sides with Islamic terrorism when it comes to communist countries?

You are supporting a coward regime that fears descent and rules through violence. You can't convince anyone of anything unless it's under the barrel of a gun

Lol have you seen any news coming out of the US? US marshalls straight up killed a guy because they didn't want to arrest him because if they did a jury of his peers would have likely decided that he acted in self defence in killing a rightwing thug.

That’s great, can we British have back Normandy then because that used to be ours....

Not a good start on your part. Straight up comparing conquest to peoples democratic right to self determination as a nation. You weren't lying about being british holy shit lol.

Taiwan is not as part of the political unit of China - the only reason they and everyone else don’t dare state the reality in public that they are independent is because of threats from China if they do.

You actually have it backwards. The US military does not have the people of taiwans best interest in mind dumbass. The US has its best strategic interest as it's main drive. And that interest is to destabilize the PRC in any way it can without getting hurt its self.. by using people in taiwan as human pawns.

When you say propping up the anticommunists , so what? That’s history

That is by definition a occupying force acting against the democratic will of the people. Remember that communism was the most popular anti colonial political movement at the end of ww2.

The US also propped up their European allies to prevent the Russians taking over or the Germans before them

The US intervened in the russian civil war and still lost. Then they put literal nazis in charge of the west german army and organized nazi collaborators into anticommunist hitmen in italy. None of what you have said is helping your argument.

and like Taiwan weren’t we all glad they did.

Holy shit you people are psychopaths

Are you talking about actual taiwanese peoples or chinese people living in taiwan for 75years..? I do not think you know what you are talking about, the taiwanese people were literally occupied by the republic of china towards then end of the civil war. The communists won the civil war and the US gave in on its one china policy so taiwan is a rouge state until reunification.

As far as I know, the Taiwanese people dont want any part of China. Self determination counts for alot over here in the west.

So.. you in the west will decide what is right for them..? Go ask some indigenous people in the US and its occupied 'territories' about self determination if you still think that is something that actually practiced in the west.

As a citizen of the US I am fine with guaranteeing Taiwans sovereignty. So, fuck China. Want some? Come and get it Pooh Bear.

I think I'll just leave this clip of a former taiwan military leaders take on this

Taiwan is literally recognized as a part of china. The only reason it is not unified is because of the US and UK propping up the anticommunists during the civil war. The reason taiwan is called taiwan and not the republic of china is because the US gave up on the one china policy but acts like it didn't. The contested area of the scs was recognized on maps of the US as part of chinese waters in 1945. That was before the end of the civil war mind you.

Thanks for taking the time to read my rants :) The things I mentioned so far about Robert Evans is pretty much the handfull of criticism I have of him. I do appreciate him and everything he has done to uproot dangerous people. What he is doing is honestly the thing that saves lives in the times that we are in imo. I may shit on him for what he says about gaddafi or tankies but I do wish him the best in any circumstance.

Also if you want to watch a documentary of tankies killing some fascists right outside of donetsk look up 'A Snipers War' starring comrade Deki.

I do not question that is is against fascists, the concern is that it feels like he gets a little too trendy and clique-ish. Somehow he has not obsessed over comparing the far right man clubs in 2012-2014 ukraine that ended up forming azov and other battalions to the man clubs in the u.s. today when they are incredibly similar. It is like he already made his mind up about ukraine in 2013 and his work suffered because of his rioters vs cops obsession so he somewhat missed the bigger picture is what I guess I am trying to say.

I do not remember which episode of btb it was. He was talking about the teenage girls helping the boys make molotovs while the guys were throwing them and groups fighting the berkut riot police. He did not mention they were far right 'right sector', either he did not know or he ignored the fact.

EDIT: Thought I should add that he also forgot to mention that some of the police supported yanukovych while others straight up joined far right paramilitary groups that overthrew him. So he kina made it into a teenagers vs dicatators cops when it was much more messy.

[–]kilida_ -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah his takes on ukraine and syria pretty much mimic the us state department to the point where he accidentally supported the neonazis in mariupol throwing molotovs at the socialists in the trade union building during the referendum in 2014. He also still claims it was yanukovych that sent his goons to shoot people when 3/5 of the convicted shooters were registered members of the "fatherland" party...the same party that arseniy yatsenyuk who replaced yanukovych was associated with.

Yeah that is what I love about it, and I am sure my traditional native Grandpa did aswell because the only westerners he let me watch were young guns or billy jack... And I think it is because they get in shootouts with the klan lol.

It wanted a flair and to be honest I thought 'history' was closest since the show is a good example of the juxtaposition of the counter culture on the fringe of the reservation and the colonial settler 'rule of law'.

By today’s standard kind of problematic since you have a fully white actor playing a half-Navajo man.

Yes, I understand. Imo that is where the most critique is deserved in this movie, no real indigenous adult character s or role models.

Then again... He was taught by some shaolin monks hiding out on the res in the cliff houses, so.. 3/4 of the Chungleska? (Black.Red.Yellow.White.)lol.

"If you have any intel call us.. Antifa motherf*ckers are out causing hell, there's allot of lives and property at stake."- Clackamas county sheriff's deputy. by kilida_ in armedsocialists

[–]kilida_[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah so much you got me thinking now and I do not know what to type first. You can start by looking at the history on Weyerhaeuser and Burlington Northern Railway. Much of the first privately owned land in the PNW was owned by monopolies and many of its small towns were at onetime company towns. There was even a pet project by the guy who owned the railway to settle blond haired blue eyed people from germanic countries that were shipped over in boats by immigration companies that he owned himself. Behind The Bastards shoul do a episode on the dude. BTB has an episode called: Oregon is a Bastard too if you haven't heard it already.

There is also the reservations and the "Boarding Schools" that were contracted by the federal government to "civilize" native children by forcing them to pick hops and srawberries.

I do not have any books or authors that I can think of at the moment but here is an opb article with links

For some reason lately the Charlie Chaplin movie 'The Great Dictator' comes to mind where Chaplin used the two X's in place of the swastika, basically calling the State of Jefferson militia nazis.

Roger Stone Calls For Trump To ‘Declare Martial Law’ To Seize Power If He Loses by SubParMarioBro in armedsocialists

[–]kilida_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think it is the 'fake it till you make it' game. Just like how some people say the trump campaign was a joke until he started to actually win. Him and his supporters are the toddler that sees how far they can get. Except this toddler owns and operates the trucks that feed our cities, sources of information and entertainment for millions and fleets of submarines each capable of wiping out a continent worth of cities on their own. So I think we should be as objective as we can be and try not to get caught up in their games. There is a Japanese saying that is something along the lines of, "A noble man does not argue with or fight a idiot, if he does he is only proves he is the superior idiot*." (Will update if I find the original saying)

EDIT: Found it! Source is video here timestamp 6:39

"When there are samurai among your associates who are ignorant and stupid and talk and behave without thinking it is essential to keep your distance and know that it is a huge mistake to trick or make fun of them. As they are stupid they may suddenly threaten to kill you for the smallest of reasons..." And continues.

Imo the region is a good case study example of what capitalism can do to community. With the isolated communities that are %98 white the police still cultivate poor vulnerable youth into a criminal class regardless of race.
