    The war crimes list is a very poweful radicalization tool but as a guy who has been obsessed with vetting the entire Trueanon subreddit reading list (why do they have Legacy of Ashes in there? go fuck yourselves) & almost every book about "parapolitics" I've seen mentioned on Twitter...

    It engenders a feeling of helplessness that is difficult to ignore. Poor critique of imperialism, wallows in the memory of US triumphs over tiny peripheral countries. Lacks a critique of Sovietism (I had trouble with this because I became obsessed with anticommunist historians like Simon Sebag Montefiore)

    I like how Desalines has gone back and added stuff about international dollar institutions like the World Bank and IMF. Actually that reminds me to write a thing about how everyone's pensions and retirement savings are used to bludgeon global south countries
