If you can afford higher education that means you are likely a member of the bourgeoise to begin with. Most societies in history created schemes to gatekeep education from commoners and people deemed risky towards the ruling class. I think rising literacy rates played a big role in socialism's emergence in the 20th century, up until reactionary and capitalist nations became aware of the "threat" and began gearing themselves specifically towards anti-communism.

The thumbnail pic had me lost with what it was even trying to say at first and then I was like...oh...

I loath the term itself because I associate it's use with right wingers with delusions of themselves being oppressed underdogs.

As for "Cancel Culture" itself, to me it feels the epitome of a first world problem. If you are famous enough or engaged with social media enough to get cancelled you are probably better off learning how to chill by yourself anyway.

Warner is doing a good job of sticking true to their roots of being company that was founded in the 1920s gangster era.

Imagine the eyebrows being raised if we heard about Germany rearming, taking over leadership of NATO and voting against an Anti-Nazi resolution 10+ years ago. Now they can just keep bringing up the "Russian Threat" indefinitely and no one thinks much of it.

West: We are against this resolution because Russia trying to use it to weaken Ukraine.

Global South: But why would it weaken Ukraine?

West: Because Russia wants it.

Global South: But WHY tho? Why would combating Nazism in itself weaken Ukraine?

West: Errr...cuz...well...Russia. If Russia wants something it has to be bad, yeah. Russia bad, very very bad.

Post this on image on reddit but edit the title and wording to say it's an alt-history 1942 map where the western allies join the axis and see if anyone notices.

 

This time in Gabon. I don't know much at all about Gabon's politics but from doing some quick reading it appears to be yet another ousting of a French puppet just like in Niger.
