First of all I condemn all forms of anti-Semitism and think that the anti-semitism experienced by Jewish people in the last 2000 years was wrong and undeserved. But recently I have been learning about Jewish history of the period between 2000 to 3000 years ago. Traditionally Jews see that period o...Read more
12 years ago, Israel released a video of its Hasbara trolls at work. Some of the pro-Israel posters you see online are literally these Israeli soldiers (many female and pretty) typing away feverishly at work while wearing an IDF uniform. Imagine being in the military risking your life as a keyboar...Read more
I thing I have learned from Blind is that when it comes to politics, many people refuse to practice rational thinking. Ideas like respecting facts that don't fit your narrative get thrown out the window. Many people want to believe certain things even when they know that it isn't true. Here are s...Read more
In this era of drones, nukes, stealth aircraft, smart weapons, and robotic warfare, who still uses cavalry? Four countries still do. Chile and Argentina still use cavalry to patrol some of their borderlands in the Andes and Patagonia. India and China both still use cavalry as well both in the Him...Read more

Do any overseas Russians like me feel silenced in recent years because we can't express our pro-Russian opinions in public since it is politically incorrect? I think it's a bit better in tech where many Indian and Chinese colleagues feel more positive towards Russia.
I wonder if they meant anything making $20 min wage start on April 1st. 🤔

In recent years, Eurovision has banned Russia and Belarus but rejected calls to ban Israel claiming that it was "apolitical". That is a flat out lie. Oh, and the Israeli participant this year is performing a song dedicated to the ongoing war/genocide. Imagine if Russia got to participate in Eurov...Read more
Joseph Stalin and Chiang Kai-shek may not appear to have a lot in common but in fact they did. Both men rose to power around the same time: Stalin consolidated power in 1927 by edging out Trotsky while Chiang became China's leader in 1928 after edging out the CCP. Stalin then died in 1952 while Ch...Read more
In the USA (or any country that likes to take in refugees), we have a systematic bias against countries that underwent revolutions because some people will always flee the revolution and since we take them in as refugees, we will get their side of the story more than the revolutionary side of the st...Read more
When talking with Israelis and Jews about Israeli crimes, I often see the response that America itself is just as bad for what it did to the Native Americans. Well, that is true, but this is where the Israelis should learn from what we Americans have done regarding this issue since the mid 20th cen...Read more
In recent years, various think tanks, NGOs, and government agencies in the West have been reporting supposed research on "Russian disinformation" being spread in the West. It turns out that a lot the examples being spread were actually manufactured by the very Western think tanks, NGOs, and governm...Read more
In white-majority countries, it seems that non-Jewish white people are less successful than Jewish people. Why is this so? Secondly, why are non-white Jews not more successful than their non-white countrymen in non-white countries? I don't really hear about Mizrahi Jews doing amazing things or In...Read more
Imperial Japan committed many war crimes from mass slaughter of civilians and POWs to wars of aggression, torture, and infamous medical experiments on prisoners. In Korea and China, these crimes are often seen as a uniquely Japanese phenomenon which is convenient for those countries but also errone...Read more
When women in a culture are too beautiful, the society tends not to develop great power, achievements, or anything else because men in the society don't need to work hard to get what they want. When women in a culture are too ugly, the society also tends to go nowhere because men have nothing to wo...Read more
What's called the US today originally belonged to those who are now minorities.
When you think of the World Wars, it's usually about the bad things they brought like carnage and destruction. But one of the side-effects of these wars was that it brought down the Western Empires which were unchallengeable in the early 20th century due to their superior technology, science, socia...Read more
