Oh yeah the Cold War consensus and post 91 world really doesn’t have an answer to jihadism huh?

The world ended when Chun Doo-Hwan died and we’ve been living in its shadow since then

If your interested in Korean history and especially modern I would recommend using DBpia for research (avoid namuwiki especially the English version) DBpia is for context similar to Jstor in that it’s a massive archive of Korean academic journals and research papers

CK3 getting rid of slavery in the trade focused dlc is super funny in retrospect

I have discovered through personal experience is that if you gather enough Hindi/urdu speakers in the same VC they stop speaking Urdu/hindi and all start all speaking English out of instinct

The Butlerian Jihad of the future will be Sam Altman vs Chindo Blue Archive artists

The cultural revolution is interesting from an academic standpoint their is no actual great general history starting point in book form. while great academic literature on it exists it’s very all super specific on different areas or aspects of it.

pop history quality makes sense when you realize its peddlers and consumers are all polisci majors

Mike Duncan is funny as while not an expert or a historian he started the tidal wave of pop history slop shit with his creation of the first real history podcast program

Cool article by Austin Adachi medium.com/@austinadach...

Complaining about fags and sqeecore art in DnD is the equivalent of being a White Russian soldier in Crimea in November of 1920, still believing in the possibility of victory

The thing about the photo of the IDF soldier beheading a statue of Jesus in south Lebanon is that the Israeli military has an effectively near 0% conviction rate for its soldiers and so this will just keep happening over and over and over and over. This is simply what unlimited impunity breeds.

sending people porn they dont like: sophisticated, avant-garde, a sign of a superior intellect. sending people porn they like: gauche, low-brow, base, a sign of a beforeskined intellect

Indeed, and as @karnesmellagio.bsky.social and @notthedarkweb.bsky.social have noted there is also a general confusion at the fact that many eastern countries simply do not place the Holocaust at the center of their moral historiography like the West. It doesn't bear the same psychological weight.

The reason why the Iron Sultanate is visibly not really "religious or "muslim", unlike the uber religious Christian factions, is not due to some well thought out design/lore decision, its cause white secular wokes can't get into Islam on even a conceptual level

Objectively, Korea’s Charlie Kirk was probably Roh

Average white American BlueSky user: Wow, can’t believe you’re using AI without caring about its impact on black and brown bodies Average developing world think tank: you’re absolutely right—your minority ethnonationalism does deserve to be realized even if the cost is in blood.

They treat me like this when at the exact moment of this poast 10hrs ago they where splerging about Tolkien to me and got mad when I stated that a SoCal Jew whom dons any dodgers paraphernalia is in fact aligned with the spirit of Hitler+global fascism.

humanitarian aid being sent to Lebanon and Iran that SK gov is giving via UNICEF, UNHCR and Red Cross. Already sent 2mil to Lebanon last month btw

Avatar Gang: Ya know, there really isn't much difference between the Earth Nation and the Fire Nation, maybe we can come together despite decades of conflict Meanwhile, the Median Earth Nation Officer:

I was not expecting for this to snowball into the ROK becoming the harshest critic of Israel within East Asia and for LJM to break decades of precedent by taking such a critical stance. I did expect Minjoo to use this to beat gukhim with hammers tho

LJM has double downed btw South Korea is now the largest and most vocal critic of Israeli policy within the entirety of East Asia

Conservative Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo choosing to be brave in criticism of LJM’s Holocaust statement with the “it’s a bad idea to criticize Israel cause the Jews control the American media.” Type ass statement

this is def the best thread what I've read on the rapid escalation that has happened between SK President Lee Jae-myung and Israel in the past 48 hours

I am genuinely surprised. n.news.naver.com/article/422/...

Every damn figure in Minjoo, gukhi, rebuild and the progs are all chiming in and it’s mostly anti Israeli. It genuinely wild how this all stemmed from yapping on X.

I genuinely think that the Israelis are mostly unaware or unable to understand that there is basically no special reverence of the Holocaust within Korea or the wider East Asian region. To them it’s just another atrocity comparable to their own.

Oh yeah Minjoo is no breaks rn

Got real ass National Assembly members now saying “the Jews say that they suffered under the Holocaust but when you think about it Japanese occupation was longer than the Holocaust so we Koreans suffered under like 3 holocausts.”

Happy 107th anniversary of the founding of the KPG(Korean Provisional Government predecessor to the ROK)

A lot of the sexual assault and rape content that people complain about in GRRM's works really is just outing themselves as show only fans.

Zhou Enlai telling party cadres that Nixon's visits were okay because it was Democrats who did Vietnam and Korea

On the 23rd anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq I am once again reminding you that it's entirely possible for me as an Iraqi to LOATHE Saddam and want him and his regime gone for good while at the same time be absolutely livid with America for what it has done to my country.

Trump’s policy towards the DPRK was on the same wave length as its leadership ie it was all about a photo op for domestic audiences and nothing more. Throw in a humiliation ritual for the ROK liberals as they see their efforts reunify the nation once again come to nothing as a treat of course
