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

... have nothing to do with tech or being an SWE. The majority of posts are the same 10 people sh*t posting the same right-wing nonsense.

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

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.

A good read. Read the thread: https://x.com/_zachfoster/status/1790141852181496202 Zach Foster is a Phd from Princeton and Jewish himself. So I found it interesting to learn it from a Jewish historian.

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
