I’m currently writing an article for a newspaper and one of the subsections revolves around a societal responsibility towards propaganda; especially racial or ideologically Nazi propaganda as in the example of Jud Suß.

For this, I wanted to discuss the Soviet reaction to Protocols as the book was a product of the Russian Empire and served as a driving justification for Nazi racial propaganda, making the Soviet reaction towards the book potentially very useful to my article.

I’ve found very little information regarding this, and thought it would makes sense to ask if anyone here has any sources as to the Soviet reaction to the book or if it was banned? English or Russian would do as I can read both.

The automation is because it’s always been a felony not to register, same as it is in virtually every country with mandatory service, so to avoid the horrifically needless societal effects that come from giving someone a felony for a random crime, they simply automated it.

Basically what they did with social security years ago. Used to also be a crime to not sign up by a certain age, so they just started immediately registering all children at birth.

This is how you get useless arms races that suck up resources and manpower that could be used to support the population and economy.

Are there any sources for this beyond a fitness drama YouTuber? I don’t doubt that US athletes were doping, but all this is is a guy on YouTube speculating and making claims with zero backing.

Even the description that shows up on lemmygrad is him pushing his expensive “supplements”.

Military service gives free barracks housing and families get free houses.

Officers get very nice houses all things considered.

Utilities are fully paid for, home insurance is paid for, free moving services, no rent, and free security.

They want people to join the military.

Anti-woke grifters affect quite literally no one but the most terminally online people.

Just go outside. Those people exist only on a screen.

Mechanized units have very little armour with them in general. The point is to rapidly deploy infantry into breakthroughs with APCs from which the infantry continue on foot. The APCs in turn are supposed to immediately retreat. Troops fighting alongside IFVs or tanks would be titled “Armoured”.

Essentially modern cavalry troops.

Still hilarious because I bet they don’t have any APCs.

Doesn’t China have one too? Like identical to the US space force?

All either branch does is cyberwarfare, they aren’t really doing anything in space at all. It was mostly for PR.

I would argue film is up there as well. Look at how prevalent Soviet and Russian films are, along with K-Films and K-dramas. They're usually peoples first interactions with another culture.

You’re right, for some reason I thought they said Sasuke at first glance.

That makes a lot more sense lol

Anime on my American soil?

The phrase is “The data tells a different story”

Data itself is singular as it’s a defined entity. It is the sum of its parts.

If it said “data points”, then you would be right.

There is already an organized push in Congress to ban WeChat that is backed by Facebook as WeChat is in direct competition with WhatsApp, Messenger, and to a lesser extent Instagram and Facebook.

It’s called the “ANTI-SOCIAL CCP” Act and is set to be decided on later in the summer. Much how the Tiktok ban bill was announced then decided a few months later.

“Aimed to protect Americans by blocking and prohibiting all transactions and communications from any social media company in, or under the influence of, China, Russia, and several other foreign countries of concern unless they fully divest of dangerous foreign ownership.”

Free speech in AmeriKKKa is looking good! Americans should only rely on true, red-blooded, patriotic, and megacorporations like Microsoft and Google with their data!

Another bill that was added on was an Israel aid bill that sends Israel and the IDF a further 26.3 billion dollars.

"Western Alliance" of California, Texas, and Florida teaming up to take on the entire US after the "first" "explicitly" fascist US president gives himself a third term. Supposed to be a "Liberal People's Revolution" in support of """true""" American democracy. There are absolutely no leftist symbols, analysis, slogans, flags, or rhetoric to be found.

Seemingly very little focus on politics except surface level liberal centrism of "uniting against authoritarianism". Also, absolutely no mention of leftism except as a hostile force, as LGBT characters are seen prominently as part of the invading rebel forces. Also a scene of the rebels blowing up the Lincoln monument for some reason.

Weird "civilian" discourse that seems bizarre in the face of Palestine as there are scenes where the US Air Force bombs US civilians, soldiers fire indiscriminately into crowds, and its all played off as a horrible tragedy despite the common American sentiment in favour of Israel doing the same thing.

The trailer's ending seems to imply the rebels miraculously take DC and save American democracy in one fell swoop.

Lastly, the fascist US president is Nick Offerman. Yes... The Parks and Rec guy, and the gay Last of Us character.
