Please read Manufacturing Consent to learn why DW, Fox, Pro Publica, and AP News articles seem like they're written by the same people. A very short summary is that only people that subscribe to viewpoints compatible with owners' viewpoints are allowed to write for these organizations. If you're familiar with the wealth concentration in the US, you know that the owners are a pretty small group of people and they share certain interests that inform their viewpoints.

The US bombed so many Japanese cities to rubble that the fact that we used a new type of bomb to do it in two cases made no difference. In fact many cities were more thoroughly destroyed by traditional bombing. The group that made the decision to surrender did not even know about the second nuke, which occurred shortly before their meeting. Japan already wanted the USSR to mediate peace negotiations between US and Japan, and that possibility was foreclosed when USSR declared war on Japan. They also had accepted that they could not win against the US, and the USSR joining just made their situation infinitely worse. USSR declared war the day before Japan's leaders decided to surrender, and then it took about another week to get people together to sign documents.

You silly communists don't get it. This isn't human nature. Human nature is surrounding yourself with parking lots and stroads and taking heartburn medication every day for your entire life so you can work on digital surveillance and eat processed corn cubes without feeling sick.

This is domino theory. It doesn't look good on paper, and it has lead to incredible amounts of war and death and destruction in the real world, including WW1. Many also argued that domino theory would lead to a bunch of democracies in the middle east after a democratic utopia was created in Iraq. No real world application for domino theory has been found.

This system makes us unhappy and that's "depression". Some people are more prone than others but we also live in a world that is much harder to be prone to depression in. Same with anxiety, ADHD, probably a lot of stuff I'm just not thinking of right now. Now if you've got a problem with any of this shit, well fuck you I'm diagnosing your ass with antifascist disagreeableness personality disorder. Take your pills and go to work.

What? Why is it weird that we eat plants and animals and fungus? Is there an interesting observation here that I'm missing and why is the owner and CEO of Twitter involved in this discussion? whywhywhywhywhy

Historical events are designed, by the woke left, to make Americans feel bad about their country.
