Damn, I’d never even heard of Turanism, though I am a little familiar with the debunked 19^th century linguistics.

Turanism, also known as Turanianism, pan-Turanism or pan-Turanianism, is a pan-nationalist political movement built around pseudoscientific claims of biological and linguistic connections between various ethnic groups of Eurasia. It revolves around the abandoned proposal of a Ural-Altaic language family, which hypothesizes that the Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, and Uralic peoples share Inner and Central Asian origins and therefore close cultural, ethnic, and linguistic bonds. Supporters of Turanism propose political unity among these groups, chiefly to oppose the cultural and political influences of the Indo-Europeans of Europe, West Asia, and South Asia, as well as the Sino-Tibetans of East Asia. The movement emerged in the 19th century to counter pan-nationalist ideologies such as pan-Germanism, and built upon the ideas of pan-Slavism (e.g. the idea of a “Turanian brotherhood and collaboration” was borrowed from the pan-Slavic concept of “Slavic brotherhood and collaboration”).

Infanticides… Chattel slavery’s social reproduction is its most abominable aspect.

Communism, even in satirical meme form, will scare McCarthyites away from piracy.

Those countries are in the core or the semi-periphery, depending on who you ask. They’re in the liminal space between the core and the periphery. They have “favored vassal” status, and won’t bite the hand that feeds them.

Correct, the dividing line is between Democracy and Autocracy,
between the Garden and the Jungle,
between the imperialists and the anti-imperialists.

Says everyone but the imperial core, which represents ~12% of the world:

The media that have lied about Palestine are the very same media who lied about Xinjiang.
📺 You’re Not immune To propaganda

Because it didn’t happen in the first place.

Yet, they still manage to have concern for Uyghurs, who they didn’t know existed until imperial core propaganda started manufacturing bullshit about them.

Most admins & mods want them hidden because when they’re readily accessible to users, more catfights & vendettas spring up, which makes more unpleasant work for the mods & admins.

I think one or more user polls have been done in the past where the popular opinion was to keep them hidden. Does anyone remember, or better yet have a link?

Presumably the downvoters are anti-antifa.

This is what two generations of incessant anti-communist propaganda does:

You must be thinking of Börne.

Thanks! Looks like they recycled their OG name last month.

While there has been a taboo against the changing of borders in Africa due to legitimate reasons, it became accepted that South Sudan should be created

Wut.

What is going on with the passive voice here? With whom has there been this taboo, and why did they think they had the power or legitimacy to define borders in the first place? The Berlin Conference? This sounds like 19th century white man’s burden shit.

Russia is better but still shitty. It’s closer to the US.

His fortune is yet to be known. He may yet move in next door to Juan Guaidó. But then again…
