And I think it would be correct!

It was very much the opposite. Argentina sent a bunch of Operation Condor veterans and conscripts on an unprovoked invasion of an unarmed island of British sheep farmers.

If you don't love immigration you can just get out.

"We have it in our power to begin the world again." - Thomas Paine

Anyway the best I've ever felt about America was me (Jewish) standing in line with my friend and her daughter (Irish and Latina) to pet a baby lamb at the Minnesota State Fair alongside a hijabi Black woman and her daughter, an East Asian family, an African-American family, and some white people.

Nothing brings me more civic pride than watching conservatives shit on my nation, thinking they understand it better.

He observes the Julian calendar.

This isn't to let Lon Nol off the hook, though. He's the one who started anti-Vietnamese ethnic cleansing.

Lon Nol was able to move up the ranks because of Sihanouk.

Moreover, after the 1970 coup, Sihanouk allied with and endorsed the Khmer Rouge.

I think it’s also notable that the members of this administration most vocally lamenting Confederate statues and renamed Bases are not Southerns but people from New York, Ohio, California, Minnesota, South Dakota. It’s like Loser stolen valor!

That's exactly what I think.

It's so striking how all the Trumpworld immigration hardliners are from families that came here after the Civil War, with the exception of Vance (and his in-laws are immigrants!).

Absolutely disastrous for Cambodia. Without Sihanouk you don't get Pol Pot.

My mom used to talk about how my, her, and her dad's "olive" complexion meant that there might be "some Italian" in the family tree, and then she did a 23 and Me test.

non-white is a certainty, even if we mean immigrant or enslaved and imported ancestor

but hell, both sides of my family have a couple centuries on this continent at least before trump or most of his people got here
miller's overcompensation is a big part of his toxic mess

the other thing is if we're really getting all blood and soil here those of us with the longest lasting white roots in the country tend to be in the new england area and we don't have the political views these assholes think we do
my family didn't fight in the revolution for this

Others on the list are Salazar, Kim Jong-Il, Ceaucescu, Mobutu, and our guy Norodom Sihanouk.

Argentina in the early 20th century got hit hard by the resource curse, that's true, but I think that Peron introduced a particular type of quasi-fascist political culture that's handicapped Argentina ever since.

If Argentina had spent the past fifty years governed by someone merely as bad as Maggie Thatcher they’d currently have twice the GDP they actually do.

Peron is one of those 20th century leaders who were objectively terrible for their countries but whos reputations skate by because Hitler existed.

Calley was both a murderer and the fall guy for everyone above him.

It's like that "Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" bit but for a Nazi junta.

Margaret Thatcher🤝 Indira Gandhi
first woman to lead the country
did some evil shit
also did really cool shit(kicked a junta's ass at war and in Gandhi's case, stopped a genocide)

i'm workshopping this take a bit but what i suspect has happened is Lewis and Tolkien's neo-medievalism gets tossed into the neo-medievalism aesthetic you see among the neo-trads

This is exactly it.

IMO the big difference between Nichols and Kristol is that Nichols is bitter about being frozen out of institutional power and wants back in, while I don't think Kristol has ever felt as alive as he does now.

Literally Ernest Medina's defense for My Lai.

The continued Argentine insanity over the Falklands has made wish the Royal Navy had popped off a Trident off the coast of Argentina just to make a point.

One of the wildest things I ever saw on Twitter was some guy being like “yeah I dropped the depth charges that sunk your dad’s ship. Tell him I say hi”

>battled with the Tory establishment
>depopulated rural areas
>did not want East Germany to be dissolved
>engaged in anti-imperialist praxis against fascist junta

Margaret Thatcher was the UK's first socialist leader. Sorry folks, it's just the truth.

The Big One can't come soon enough.
