Airbrushing the Ghettoes
Ukraine, Lithuania are whitewashing Nazis.
From Eastern Europe to the Middle East, the legacy of the Holocaust has been used to denigrate left anti-fascism and promote the interests of ethno-nationalist establishments. But we should remember who really killed the ‘Judeo-Bolsheviks’ of the Second World War.

This month’s roundup is out, and I decided to include a quick commentary on the underwhelming verdict in the Google monopoly lawsuit.
Basically, it was entirely predictable that it wouldn’t amount to much, and unfortunately there’s little reason to expect the US will rein in its own tech companies.

If all these has been Tories keep joining Farage's outfit, then his new 'party' is just going to be full of ex Tories has beens who were rejected by the electorate. He won't be offering the voter anything new!
With all these ego's joining Nigel, I can see more arguments on the horizon because they will all want the limelight.

"As just one example of this systematic effort to force Farage on the country, Jeremy Corbyn has been on BBC Question Time three times in 42 years as an MP. Left-wing MP Zarah Sultana has never been on it. Farage, who was elected an MP only last year, has appeared 38 times."

The video captures a chaotic nighttime scene on a busy highway, where a significant car accident has occurred. The footage shows a silver pickup truck involved in the incident, with smoke and debris visible around it, indicating a collision. The highway is illuminated by streetlights, and the scene is filled with the glow of vehicle headlights and taillights, creating a stark contrast against the dark sky. A person in a beige jacket and light-colored pants stands on the side of the road, observing the scene, while another individual in a uniform, possibly a police officer, is seen walking along the barrier. The text overlay in Arabic reads "!!! حادث سيارة مروع وخطير" which translates to "!!! A terrible and dangerous car accident." The video captures the aftermath of the accident, with smoke and scattered debris, and the highway traffic appears to be halted due to the incident. The overall atmosphere is tense and chaotic, with the emergency response likely underway.

in reply to Riek • • •@gardencatt It's partly natural that humans have short memories like this, which is why we need education that not just teaches the past but contextualizes it in a way that makes it feel real to people.
But also, a huge portion of this is active *attack on reality* by hostile parties. Education trying to inoculate everyone against the latest attacks is not a scalable solution to this. The solution is having the political will to smash the parties doing it.

in reply to Pat • • •@patrascan @gardencatt What critical thinking skills classes?? For a lot of people who grew up in this country's schools, the best example of "expertise" was asshole adults confidently insisting they believe things which were often false and punishing them for questioning that.
They did not "miss out on a good thing" by sleeping through it. There was no good thing. They experienced a bad thing by birth lottery, and that became their frame of reference.
