This strikes me as an important distinction between the US and Europe when it comes to the dynamics of right-wing populism. The generation that remembers WWII and the Holocaust is dying out. The generation that remembers Jim Crow is still very much with us.
worth remembering that a large part of the black voting electorate is what you might call the first VRA generation — people who would have been the first in their families to turn 18 with the actual right to vote — and that their parents/grandparents lived through jim crow
yeah, so, i think Bluesky may be kind of structurally blind to exactly how mad the organs of Black politics in the South are right now

This is why Russian WWII monuments say the war began in 1941. It avoids the narrative unpleasantness of the previous two years.

“Per Tucker Carlson”? The guy who says the only reason people complain about Putin is he’s preserving a white nation? Who thinks Churchill was the baddie in WWII? Who wants men to buy taint-tanning machines? Well with record like that…

Fuck me! Churchill had many faults (and many attributes, which were needed during WWII), but he'd have hated and had nothing but contempt for Trump.
