“Most of them are the products of the Red Guard era, they don’t respect society or the environment,” said a young Chinese resident of Guiyang, who did not want to be named.

“Square dancing is a problem left over from history. Many elderly people feel that the whole China is built by their generation. They have the absolute voice and status. We young people have done nothing, and of course are not qualified to question them.”

I like how everyone else is telling them they are assholes because they are playing loud as gently caress music and monopolizing public spaces and the boomers are just like "This is our social outlet it's good and we are exercising" with zero self awareness.

The specific details can't be true because to the best of my knowledge there were no aristocrats still living in the Winter Palace by the time of the October Revolution (the people who were there when the Bolsheviks stormed it were some of the ministers of the Provisional Government [minus Kerensky who had already fled] and a few small detachments of troops loyal to them), but it is also true that aristocrats were still doing their best to live the high life even during the revolution. One of my books on this subject talks about an aristocratic family, for example, who didn't remember anything different about the night of the October Revolution except that the lights flickered unusually at the opera.

Yeah my barebone research suggest that it has to be some other opulent mansion or residence that someone decided to just sub in the Winter Palace for effect.

it's too bad TMI is largely forgotten about because its probably the best, worst example of hosed up media panic over science and math the media either didnt understand or didn't want to understand in order to get ratings

watch out! the reactor accident gave people in the area a radiation dose about the same of going to the beach for a weekend

I think most people don't realize that TMI had a second reactor that remained in operation until 2 years go, too.

i dont live in a devil state that celebrates columbus day and was briefly confused as to the purpose of this editorial since the main columbus thing going on lately is the theory that genoese traders already knew america existed and it was just an obscure route so like i was just thinking is kasparov mad that people think columbus wasnt a complete moron or something

i think its a reasonable theory, there are contemporary maps that showed north and south america more or less correctly even back when columbus was setting out on his journey.

the only states that ever observed columbus day were the ones on the verge of italian immigrant riots in the gilded age and the only people that still care about it aside from posers chasing the next fash outrage high are the trump voting great grand children of those immigrants who just spent last year calling protesting by minorities unamerican and treasonous.

New Chronology is so cool. Though I prefer the guy who decided that 300 years between approx. 600CE & 900CE were made up to give dastardly usurper of the HRE Otto III legitimacy to his claim somehow.

Also came across a Russian who insisted that the Russians were never conquered by the Mongols because the mighty Slav could never be bested by the feeble Oriental savage. Very normal guy.

Here in Chicago the proud Italian defenders not only decry anti-genocidal sentiment, but anti-fascism as well, and defeated an attempt to rename a street named after Italo Balbo, commander of the Air Force under Mussolini

to be fair, they don’t defend genocidal fascism, like Hitler, but he was German, though maybe if we find evidence that he had Italian heritage we can get behind making monuments to him

don't only about half of Israelis claim hebrew as their primary language even if it's their native one? Who gives a poo poo about a book translated to hebrew, I've literally never met a hebrew speaker who wasn't at the bare minimum near fluent in another language. Like, yea, it's nice to have a book in your primary language but who could give a single poo poo about a book not getting a hebrew translation

the actual headline is that the author refused to let a big israeli publishing house translate her book into hebrew because that contradicts the whole BDS thing

she hasnt said a single word about translating it into hebrew as a general rule, just that she wants nothing to do with an israeli company

You seem to be suggesting that there's something dishonest about taking a story that goes: "Author refuses offer from Israeli publishing house because she opposes the Occupation and supports BDS" and reframing it as: "Author refuses to allow her book to be translated into Hebrew because she hates Jewish people".

Very anti-semitic.
