Austria featured some of the most virulent anti-Semites and eager participants in the war and the Holocaust. Germany has, through its utter defeat, come to face its crimes. Austria? No. They consider themselves “victims” - of Nazi Germany. Hence the far-right in Austria thrives.

Bottom line? You cannot lead a normal life as a royal. Full stop. His brother and father are choosing - choosing - to do damage to him and his wife through the tabloids to improve their own images. And you are criticizing him for not staying silent?

No one is above the law. Except Trump. DOJ knows he still has top secret documents. Why? Leverage, most probably. ANY other individual would be in custody. This is a failure of the DOJ to enforce the law. Trump is putting our national security at risk.

Nope. Historically ignorant. Poor whites could have joined blacks in a powerful coalition, as early as post-Bacon’s Rebellion. But no - elite planters (whites) convinced them to value their whiteness above all, to facilitate their white supremecist electoral coalition.

Women (and men) need to make the immediate consequences of this decision public. The stories of women dying as a result need to be headline news. People will remember if they are reminded. Start a tip-line for women’s stories.

That’s a lazy take. These are decisions overturning decades of precedent, which these right-wing judges swore under oath they would uphold in their SCOTUS confirmation hearings.

As someone 6 months into “reading” for comps (232 books. 4 sections. History. Test May 1st), I agree. However, it IS widening my understanding the historiography, which, in history, is everything.

Well - the “two-honorable-sides” narrative actually began in the 1890s. It led to the “lost cause” myth from Professor William Dunning from Columbia (1920s)That was shattered by WEB DuBois “Black Reconstruction” (1935) which showed with primary documents that it was about slavery

Secession would have given in to their demand to overthrow a free and fair election. And why? So, Southern Slave societies could continue to own human beings, while separating families, and torturing and killing their property as they saw fit. You defend the indefensible.

I’d be careful about teleological takes on this. You’re quoting statements from Churchill in 1935 to Truman in 1941. No one grasped Hitler’s true intentions and there was enormous pressure to avoid war. The Grand Alliance formed Jan 1, 1942. Even then there was much disagreement.

Colorblind translates into systemic racism for any student of American history. It’s a facade for the George Will crowd - presenting themselves as progressive on race - colorblind! - while purposefully ignoring the story of the need for affirmative action due to white supremacy.

I haven’t posted a thing about Israel or Palestinians. Nothing. But the widespread demonization of both sides by academics who I thought knew better is troubling. The way pure hatred can leap out of people who have dedicated their lives to careful, deliberate thinking. Dangerous.

Until white supremacy is not determining opportunity in academia, affirmative action is a useful, if flawed, tool to address that injustice. “Colorblind” is a convenient Republican trope, seemingly progressive, but willfully ignorant of systemic racism.

Read Sean Wilentz’s “No Property in Man” laying out the founding fathers avoiding any reference to “slaves” or “man as property“ which hoodwinked Southerners to sign and allowed the eventual abolition of slaves. This is “Lost Cause” type avoidance. The South fought for slavery.

The Covid shot does not prevent Covid, it lessens the effect of Covid, so you don’t need hospitalization and run the risk of death. And Covid shots have been rigorously tested - they first achieved public use under “emergency” status, because it was an emergency. You choose lies.

I am trying to figure out the “excesses of war!” crowd. As if war is not chaos with massive civilian casualties in every instance, ever. Lincoln was a “monster.” He sanctioned Sherman’s destruction of civilian support for the Confederacy. FDR? Monster. Truman? Monster.

Before you assign “privilege,” focus first on the brutal acts of terror by Hamas to further a political agenda. They murdered a Jewish couple, but kept the woman alive long enough to hear the screams of her infant, who they baked in oven. What is wrong with you?

I think any serious event would need buy-in from the police and/or the military. While there is Trump sentiment in both, I don’t think it rises to alarming, organized levels. More likely some violent civil disobedience. Quickly squashed by … the police and the military.

Johnson was a poor White who hated elite planters but was deeply racist. A bad combo given the pressure he was under from the South to give back land (40 acres and a mule) and pull out federal troops. I think it’s safe to say Lincoln would have not done either of those things.

No. NY business is glad he’s gone. And “nobody was harmed?” Trump’s fraud is a crime of accessing favoritism by lying to financial institutions, inflating assets to receive loans, obvious crimes that would land regular Joes in jail. He’s a lying conman. NY celebrates his demise.

Brezhnev killed Amin in the ‘79 Afghan invasion and replaced him with Karmal, who they felt would play ball. It’s certainly possible. None of this looks good for Russia long-term if they invade. If we support an insurgency it will be a long fight, very possibly ending in defeat.
