I enjoyed Lafayette by Harlow Giles Unger so much I stopped reading it for a couple weeks when I noticed I was almost through it. Did not want it to end.
Alison Weir is one of my favorite authors; two of her best (I think) are Queen Isabella (what a fuckin story) and The Lost Tudor Princess, which sounds vague and flighty but is like a high-beam flashlight into the time period.
These are not people learning new ideas and sharing them. They know it's disinformation from the jump. Their aim is to trick you into believing they are genuine.
It is quite the interesting coincidence that both Twitter and Reddit have driven away scores of intelligent, critical users in the year before an election.
article titles on its Arabic website include "The Holocaust — that great deception", "Why do the Jews rejoice at the burning of Notre Dame in Paris?", "Jews and Freemasons in the Arabs' revolutions", and "The Jews of 'Israel'" — this is why their end is certain"
They also refer to the Ukrainian government as a "Nazi regime."
Your choice, but choosing to believe that site is plainly asking to be lied to. Advising others to "check sources twice" is pretty laughable in this context. This is unintelligent and blatant propaganda.
I've run through everything on kbin and tried to return to reddit a couple of times, and I can't do it, or just don't have the tolerance anymore. The ads are more obvious, the false product reviews, fake relationship advice posts, reposts for karma, fake "best of" chains written by one person with commenters saying they know its fake, but "hey, I was entertained." It feels like shopping Black Friday with a bunch of strangers, knowing some of them are actors there to convince you the prices are actually great, when you know they were lower last week and Black Friday is bullshit. It feels, in a word, Lame.
