....the terrorist army may have reached a new low with a twisted new contest in which female slaves captured in war are given away as "prizes" to fighters who show the have mastered the Koran.

The shocking practice of giving away human beings as prizes, called "sibya," was organized by the Da'wa and Mosques Department in Al-Baraka province in Syria in honor of the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan and was announced June 19 on ISIS Twitter accounts, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute and the Clarion Project, two independent research institutes that track social media accounts linked to terrorist groups.

AFA was founded by antideutsche activists in the 80s so while its a popfront theres a strong 'woo israel boo palestine/muslims' current like there was in every 80s-90s leftist org. lots of groups outside germany and even some of the chapters inside it oppose this tho. ripples of the RAF basically.

pretty sure dolan always had pro-imperialist views that were just chalked up to "contrarian trolling" at the time.

there's one article where he says JFK's Alliance for Progress was about "out commieing the commies."

i like Going Postal for its analysis of the events and coverage of them, it should come up every time a "shooting" happens, but i wish he'd picked an easier claim to prove and also that he spent any time at all proving it rather than just sort of saying "white people who shoot up their offices are kind of like john brown" over and over

they all write like old amphetamine heads, where they have a full head of steam at the beginning and then by the end it just collapses into a mess. even taibbi. this could be corrected by rigorous adherence to marxist class analysis but *tosses pizza crust* whaddaya gonna do eh????

My Exiled Crew Sucks moment was seeing this article posted in Olde LF. Aside from getting everything historical & technical wrong (see comment 176), War Nerd panders to the left-liberal myth that military leadership is just stupid

he even suggests the navy switch to a fleet of small boats...like its purpose is just defending the coast and fighting pirates
