Breadtube / Leftube

Conservatives are now promoting outright drinking potentially contaminated milk.

Ludwig, who is normally not considered a part of breadtube, did a really cool thing. He made his company that organizes events for youtubers and streamers a workers co-op.
In the video he said he is doing it to help the company last longer and share the success with the workers since he is already rich enough.

I think it's pretty cool.

Belly of the Beast is a Cuba-based journalism collective trying to provide a counterweight to anti-Cuba propaganda.

TLDR: Israel deliberately attacked the USS Liberty spy ship in 1967 during the Six-Day War, with the intention of sinking it, for 3 reasons:

1. To stop the ship's crew from informing the USA that Israel had started the Six-Day War via their surprise attack on Egypt
2. To stop the ship from overhearing their plans to invade the Golan Heights, which might prompt the USA to stop them and slow their acquisition of more Lebensraum
3. As a Gulf of Tonkin style false-flag operation, with the goal of pinning blame on the Egyptians for sinking the ship in order to get the US to help them invade Egypt for even more Lebensraum.

After failing to sink the ship, which would have killed all crew and witnesses, Israel used AIPAC and associated organizations to lobby for the view of the attack as an "Israeli mistake".

The Israel-USA relationship seems mutually parasitic. The USA uses Israel as a military base, but gets to use Israeli settlers surrounding it as human shields. In return, Israel can kill Americans for their own goals.

When a white Australian politician decided to protest a ban on climbing a sacred rock, an Aboriginal person’s clapback went viral.

In August 2019, Pauline Hanson, a senator who’s made headlines with her racist remarks, travelled with a TV crew to protest a ban on humans trekking up Uluru, an 863-metre-high sandstone monolith that juts out of the flat landscape of Australia’s Northern Territory. The rock is sacred to the Aboriginal Pitjantjatjara people.

But what came next earned public praise. The 69-year-old politician, known for founding the far-right One Nation party, told two Aboriginal café workers near Uluru that she was indigenous to the land and questioned why they were working there if they were Aboriginals from other regions. She accused the two of taking away jobs from ‘locals.’ However, the women stood their ground, and one named Faith Saylor checked Hanson by raising that the senator might actually be indigenous to England.
