I came here to see if it was as bad as I was hearing, and it was. Bluesky is objectively more of an eco chamber than twitter is.

It may be hard to beleive, but the people over on Twitter are far more reasonable and less extreme than the people here. Good lord the vitriol. Get some help, and spend some time with your family.

"Dismissive"? I literally open the video with the Setif Massacre and end it by foreshadowing the torture regime from the Battle of Algiers.

A question for the boomers and GenX who were around for it; Were the Free Tibet Protestors ever as loathed as the Free Palestine people are? I have a hard time imagining they were, but maybe that part of the history has been memory-holed.

With all his talk about economic liberalization, and the possiblity of him extricating Syria out of Russia's sphere of influence, I think Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa could become the Syrian Sadat. How long he reigns depends on how far is willing to go for peace. The further, the shorter.

Raise your hand if you're so pro-Jew that you don't deny the Holocaust.

Thanks for the engagement

One of the dumbest things I see on BlueSky is their weird self-righteous obsession with banned books. They'll post "I read BANNED BOOKS! Do you?" with a picture of a handful of leftwing books they just bought from Barnes & Noble, proving that none of them are actually banned.

Of course Candace Owens has become obsessed with the USS Liberty.

I should probably take that video project off the back burner one of these days.

I'm hoping to do more South Asian history next year. It's an area I'm not too familiar with, but its politics are structured enough for a Westerner to grasp with enough reading.

Why is the Holocaust the only part of World War Two people question the historicity of?

Of all the mainstream micro-blogging sites, I'm really surprised that Threads has had the greatest number of unhinged support for the murder of Brian Thompson. You'd think the Resist-lib exile would make Bluesky the epicenter, but nope. It's a Facebook sister app.
