Are you reading an author who has never spent a night in jail? Are you reading an author who has never been charged with high treason? Please respect the interregnum... Read Jaroslav Hašek! talesfromjaroslav.wordpress.com

In the wake of an election in a two-party system, there is no one doing more to help the party that won than the people who lead the party that lost and refuse to take any responsibility

If there’s any silver lining to speak of here (digging deep in search of hope), it might be that the US/Western right is being split into two tendencies: a philo-Semitic Judeo-Christian end-times tendency and an anti-Semitic Judeo-Bolshevik conspiracist tendency (neither good)

Congratulations to all the genocidal zionists and their accomplices for the role you’re playing in reviving the myth of Judeo-Bolshevism among the Christians

Many of us believed that Germany had really made strides in recognizing its genocidal past, at least in terms of the Holocaust, and was a stronger democracy for it. We were wrong. Genocide begets genocide begets genocide. The German state and German elites have clearly learned…

Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust,…

After these last few years, it has become evident that the field of history, as a discipline, needs to do some serious soul-searching. What exactly is the purpose of studying the past? Is the goal to mitigate harm in the present/future—or simply to justify harm more persuasively?

Is it not increasingly obvious at this point that one of the chief reasons why states “atone for the past” is to legitimize crimes in the present? All these years, the West has just been trying to build up moral capital to wield as a cudgel once its hegemony came under threat

Watching a lot of the Ukraine commentary coming from people who clearly think they’re very intelligent, you’d think the front lines were crumbling in the opposite direction

Very exciting to transition from a US presidential administration that exploits Jewish suffering during the Holocaust to legitimize the genocide of Palestinians to a new US presidential administration that justifies the same based on perverse readings of the Bible

Can’t decide what’s sadder: that people are filled with so much hatred, or that many of the people filled with hatred can’t recognize their hatred as hatred
