Hell South Africa could stop the Wehrmacht dead in its tracks with just its single Squadron of aged attack helicopters.

Several leaders of India’s “cockroach” youth movement are detained in New Delhi after entering a historic protest site in defiance of a police order, calling for the resignation of India’s election chief over the removal of 130 million people from the country’s voter lists.

Why a wave of ‘cockroach’ protesters are defying India’s bid to stamp out their movement

Demonstrators are demanding the resignation of India’s election chief over the removal of 130 million names from voter lists, which they say favors Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party.

Perhaps no American holiday is more confusing than Leif Erickson Day - October 9. Celebrated across many parts of the Midwest, it honors Leif Erickson, the Norse explorer who planted the first European colonies in the Americas. It has nothing to do with the former President by that name. thread

Brexit has shown they cannot be trusted with nostalgia. All pictures of the past are to be replaced with hedgehogs until such time the British electorate can think of the present and future. God save the king and all hedgehogkind.

Like if the question was could 1914 Europe beat modern Africa the answer from Twitter would still be a resounding "Yes".

The problem with the could 1939 Europe beat modern Africa question is that Bsky is basing their call on population statistics, technology gaps, logistical problems in invading a continent, disruption caused by future information, etc. Meanwhile Twitter bases it on who has the most white people.

Yeah modern Africa would be such a destabilizing event for the entire 1939 world.

Preventing the return of European colonialism is probably a pretty motivating factor vs we need to ally ourselves with the Nazis in order to get back the Congo.

Also what about the hundreds of US soldiers currently stationed in Africa? My guess is they will be on the side of their friends and allies over fascist Italy. Hence many of them trying to talk FDR into backing Africa over any hypothetical war with the Europeans.

Information is a weapon as well. What happens to say India when they learn they will be independent soon? Or that the Soviet Union won't make it to the 20th century? Or what the Nazis are about to do to all Jews?

I'm also just wondering about the practical realities of this. Like Africa ISOTs into 1939 and all of the European nations on the brink of war (many of whom just lost access to their colonies there and the Suez canal) decide to conquer them all? Seems like a good way to see a lot of your navy sunk.

They're doing a form of racism on the other site where you pretend that jet aircraft and helicopters don't exist. (the one-upsmanship at the bottom is pretending that repeating firearms and modern artillery doesn't exist as well)

I won't pretend that many people in the Anglo-American sphere have progressive views on trans rights, but it's also an issue that doesn't even crack the top 10 of things people actually care about. And yet they're making an entire documentary on what one children's author thinks of it? Come on.

The Detroit Free Press allowed readers to submit their verdict on who won the debate between Dr. Abdul El Sayed and Mike Rogers— but the only two people who said Rogers won decided to include anti Arab slurs in their letters in addition to abject lies. So the DFP refused to publish them.

It's very funny how clearly the directive in RISE AND FALL OF THE GALACTIC EMPIRE was that he couldn't say anything about the post-TRoS Galaxy, even though that was the context in which it was supposed to have been written. Just a massive, gaping contextual hole he had to write around.

The Resistance certainly doesn't have the capacity for state building. There are probably a fair few planets and sectors who want to go their own way. I bet the Mandalorians are also offering "protection" to a lot of nearby worlds.

Reading Star Pilots and I'm wondering when/if they'll ever flesh out the post-TRoS state of the Galaxy. I mean the New Republic is confirmed gone as is the First Order. The Jedi are an Order of one and the Sith are (presumably) all dead. Seems like they're heading to a warring states period.

We're in the midst of a massive crisis of epistemic authority and social trust, with much of the online information ecosystem basically collapsing into an algorithmic swirl of unverifiable rumour, and Wikipedia is one of the few institutions holding out. Attacking it is stupid and irresponsible.
