…Eric is wrong. The creator is German.
Eugen Rochko, Russian national who moved to Germany at age 11.
That’s his official story.
It’s not the most salient fact, but it sure is interesting. Not sure that’s who I want “saving” American discourse at this point.
I can’t even come up with something funny for this. Dude’s just straight up saying “He’s a traitor because of his slavic blood”.
The russophobia is real lol
I always thought the Japanese internment camps and German equivalent in the 1910s were dumb, what kind of dumbass thinks there’s like a genetic political inheritance. Amazing, lib Anglos, 100 years later and you’ve kept up the same stupid ruse and you keep finding new all-to-willing rubes to fall for it.
The Japanese Internment Camps were heavily, heavily lobbied for by rich white Californian farmers. National security concerns were distinctly secondary. When the farmers got their way and all the Japanese Americans were rounded up and confined in camps the white farmers stole all of their land, farms, and possessions. They were never returned and I don’t believe any compensation was ever paid.
What happened next is kind of funny - Many of the Japanese American farmers were using different techniques than contemporary white farmers, and many were just far and away better at farming than their white contemporaries. So when vast swathes of their land were stolen the white thieves couldn’t maintain agricultural production and there was a significant agricultural shortage in the US. This lead directly to the famous campaign for “Victory gardens”, which were a propaganda effort to disguise the disaster by invoking patriotism.
This still happens today, by the way. The millions upon millions of people who have been forced in to exile at gunpoint over the last few decades had cars, houses, mortgages, all kinds of possessions. All that shit either gets repossessed or, if the victim is lucky, they can sell it for firesale prices before they’re forced out of the country with nothing. There’s always and economic angle.
Oh, like how the Nazis made big bucks liquidating the earthly possessions of Jews, Romani, homosexuals and socialists?
If you’re talking about the WW2 Japanese internment camps in the US, that was largely kicked off so the white agriculture businesses could steal land from Japanese farmers.
Bitter Harvest - Washington Post
The ensuing cluster fuck, as whites couldn’t maintain the same output as the Japanese farmers, was why we ended up needing Victory Gardens.
I just popped on to post this here because it’s one of the takes that, like, actually disgusted me? Like, normally with unhinged people on the net, it’s funny. But this is a Respected Centrist DC analyst, following the same lines as fuckin internment camps. Ethnonationalist scumbag with the laughing-crying emoji strapped to his armband
Boy do I have news for you about DC centrists in government or government-adjacent positions
oh, I know, it’s just different to stare directly into the abyss, y’know?
Powerful “putting content warnings on travelogue documentaries about Russia from 2009” energy
I used to hate watch MSNBC and Maddow was my most favorite / least favorite. Her show felt like bizarro world to me. In essence - she mastered the art of shitposting in verbal form. And her idiot network paid her many millions a year to do so. After Trump became president - the vast majority of her shtick was merely saying “Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia! Russia!..” like a deranged parrot.
This news was so important that Maddow spent the first three minutes of her segment building up to the big reveal. With much fanfare, the intrepid MSNBC host revealed to the world – drum roll, please – the well-hidden fact that North Korea has, indeed, got a small border with Russia.

I used to hate watch
i can’t do that shit. I’d get excess cortisol spikes all day and die of a heart attack or aneuryism eventually
I had to stop because it stopped being funny. Also - Maddow was easy to poke fun at because it was all clearly her riffing but I did get a case of MNSBC brain. I don’t mean I believed in their worldview but I have to admit that I did start to think Trump might face consequences eventually. I can see how libs must be going insane as they hear “the walls are closing in on Trump” for the 1,700th time. All that reportage and all that repetition can make a person delusional.
