They seem to have unlisted most of their Chapo clips. Really liked their reading series playlist.

Uhhh, what the fuck?

There was this huge hullabaloo about Google employees forming a union, but I'm assuming that went nowhere considering how ruthless the company was with it's layoffs. Anyone got the full scoop?

AFAIK, their war lay primarily in the Pacific, and beyond supporting the Brits and Russians materially, I’m not really sure why the US would want to involve themselves physically in the European theatre. I do feel fear of Germans beating them to the bomb might have something to do with it, but that’s just conjecture.

• Panama was a Colombian district until the USA, taking advantage of Colombia's internal strife, orchestrated it's separation in 1903 to facilitate construction of the Panama canal
• FARC, while officially distancing themselves from all tendencies, were closest to the Maoists in tactics by virtue of the largely agrarian nature of the Colombian economy
• the ELN, another armed revolutionary group, are largely Catholic and seem to practice some form of revolutionary theology (this one took me by surprise; I would've never associated Catholicism with revolutionary mindset)
• Yair Klein, an Israeli mercenary (seems redundant), played a major part in the training of right-wing death squads who were responsible for a wide variety of atrocities from assassinations to large-scale massacres (even academics/teachers were not spared since they formed such a large part of Colombia's unionized workforce)
• Book Recommendation: Full Spectrum Disorder: The Military in the New American Century; a US veteran's memoir with a critical view on the US's imperial ambitions that also covers their interests in Colombia

Some unrelated things that I found interesting:

• Alexei Nalvany, the Russian opposition leader and darling of liberals everywhere, was a key ally to Russia's anti-immigration and skinhead elements
• The American Civil War saw the use of IEDs in the form of booby-trapped artillery shells by the Confederates (this apparently made Sherman pretty mad)

Brightline supposedly represents “The Surprising Success of Private Passenger Rail”

The ones I got off of RARBG seem exceptionally poorly seeded.

Are there Black Wolf equivalents for Blowback, WTYP, Kill James Bond etc?

I legit thought it was theory but google just drowned me in a deluge of memes

Problem is, I don't know at what point my writing is mature enough to share with others.

Even if I do feel like sharing something, I'm never sure what platforms I should post to. It seems to me that sites like medium only help if my writing is already somewhat engaging...which kinda defeats the point of getting feedback early and often.

I'm quite lost here.
