you know what today means

An Irish far-right streamer attempts to interview an antifascist. Sound on. [video]

Tens of thousands of Lithuanians served in the Liaudies Gynėjai, but since the counterrevolution that destroyed the Soviet Union, their names have largely been erased from history by the semifascist regime that now rules Lithuania. Few outside of Lithuania have heard of them, whereas the name of "Forest Brothers" is glorified, as the Lithuanian capitalist regime celebrates the kulaks and capitalists which murdered thousands of Lithuanian communists, workers and peasants, either to punish them for supporting communism and land redistribution or just to rob them (the “Forest Brothers” sustained themselves largely on banditry). The legacy of the Liaudies Gynėjai is an inconvenience to a reactionary nationalist regime that relies on the myth that all Lithuanians were anti-communist and opposed the Soviet Union, and so they have been demonized and wiped from historical memory.

the saddest thing is that originally 'forest brothers' was a name of lithuanian partisans fighting german occupation during wwi but it got appropriated by lithuanian nazi collaborators during wwii (quote from devils in amber by phillip bonosky)

Praying for a safe journey back to the spirit world, Uncle ❤️‍🩹🦅

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

I follow a wide range of blogs to make sure my own blog content is as inconsistent and annoying as possible
