Crackpot History, Episode 5: The Manufactured Martyr (Part 4) Crackpot History (@crackpothist ) is about separating history from hysteria. Darryl Cooper and the Martyr Made podcast have become flashpoints in the growing debate over experts versus influencers. In recent months,…
Friendly reminder that countering the far left and weaponizing fear against them has been one of the tried and tested methods of dictators coming to power. Franco did it through civil war, Mussolini did it through assassinating socialists, and Hitler did it by pinning a fire on…
Yes, Franco was awesome
Why isn’t the UN delivering this aid…?
Hundreds of trucks worth of aid is sitting inside Gaza, as we reported days ago. Five separate routes were offered to the UN to distribute this aid, I’m told. Palestinian civilians are in desperate need of this humanitarian support.

AIPAC tracker is a “zionist” now? What are we doing here
5,200 a month is a crazy figure if accurate. That’s around a hundred million a month in costs or $1.2 billion a year just on manufacturing Shaheds at this factory alone on the lower end.
Russia flaunts its massive drone war machine on state TV, unveiling the Alabuga factory, now churning out 5,200 Shahed-type Geran drones every month for strikes on Ukraine.
You can tell pretty quickly when someone has remained sheltered within their own thought bubble for a significant period of time. Countries that were under the oppression of the USSR and Pol Pot exist. People lived under this. They’re still alive. You can talk to them. It’s…
This phrase is optically problematic for Iran so I anticipate it being phased out due to the PR war being successfully fought, but the belief and substance to remain. I expect they’ll also force their proxies (namely the Houthis) to also adjust their slogans and flags without…
Iran's FM Abbas Araghchi was asked whether Iran is attempting to assassinate U.S. President Trump and other American leaders. “Death to America is in fact deaths to the hegemonic policies of the U.S and not the people of the U.S,” Abbas responded.
I have never seen Europe's Right Wing mentioned more times in Japanese politics than I have now. On TV program Wide Scramble Aki Ikesami compares Sanseitō's rise to Europe's Right Wing Populism.
