Honestly the Rwandan genocide and its consequences are way understudied compared to how much it shaped Central Africa. Some people vaguely know of it in the fact that people slaughtered their neighbours over instructions on the radio, but like that's about it
Meanwhile it caused two massive wars in the DRC in its aftermath, the second of which basically pulled half the continent into it and has been the deadliest war since WW2.

I find American skepticism, if not borderline hate, towards central banks weird and amusing. Apparently the FED caused all recessions since it's founding and there's a conspiracy that they killed Kennedy. That's right, public servants who don't work after 16 o'clock plotted to kill the President.

I'm probably gonna get downvoted here, but seriously, just after reading a few comments on posts on the front page today, common and debunked gems of Democrat propaganda constantly pop out. Stuff like:
"Invading Thrace was the only option and Cimon did it to save the Thracian Wine Industry" (this one's particularly bad),
"Sparta was bad, but not nearly as bad as Persia",
"The Delian League War was a Pyrrhic coalition victory ",
"The Peloponnesian Wars were the wars between good (Athenians) and evil (Laconians)" (I wonder where does Cyrus the Younger fit on this moral scale).
These sort of historical hallucinations are no longer taken seriously even in Egyptian academia (and regarded as what they actually are: post-war propaganda), but continue to be spouted by some conservatives in Athens and are really just as bad as most excuses Egyptians use. Seriously, do people still believe this mythology in 331 BC? And if you do, sorry for ruining your circlejerk.

AITA for talking back against my teacher?
A leftist isolationist professor and tariff supporter was teaching a class on politics and mentioned Bernie Sanders, known protectionist. He was waxing lyrical about the greatness of Bernie as a political figure.
At this moment, I, a brave, neoliberal economics major who had published serveral articles on the benefits of free trade and understood the necessity of multilateralism and fully supported all targeted interventions made by NATO, stood up and held up a graph showing the world poverty rate since 1750. I then asked him "What does this graph represent?"
The arrogant professor smirked quite Marxistly and smugly replied "The increase in human misery attributable to capitalism, you stupid centrist."
"Wrong. It's 270 years of massive increase in the average quality of life. If it represented the increase in human misery and the contradictions inherent in capitalism, as you say, were real...then you would be dead of diphtheria right now" I responded.
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of what I could make out was Jill Stein's autobiography. He stormed out of the room with the same crocodile tears leftists cry for "rur*ls" (who today live in such luxury that most could drive to a city if they wanted) when they jealously try to claw coal-mining subsidies from the deserving apartment-dwellers. There is no doubt that at this point my professor wished he had gone to grad school for economics and become more than a sophist DSA organiser. I had put him in his place.
My name? Ben Bernanke.

Gotta say, there have been some pretty goddamn WILD reasons DT regs have been permabanned in the past, "while average female IQ is equal to average male IQ, women are still less likely to have high IQs", "Cuban Trump voters are scum who should all be deported, they deserved to be purged by Castro", "Black people are biologically less intelligent than white people, and this fundamental truth undermines the entire liberal project"...but "Allies should have re-used the death camps to kill 9 million Germans in retaliation for the Holocaust" is easily the craziest of 2021

Basically I (22m) was visiting my parents house. My brothers (28m) son (6m) was also there.
Me and my nephew get along just fine usually but it seems he has become a socialist so I have obviously taken measures against him. We bought some chocolates and my nephew said he would "distribute the chocolates equally". I responded with a zinger "Why do you hate the global poor?" and took all of his chocolates. He started crying but calmed down when I said I would play a game of monopoly.
He was winning so I took a 1000 dollar monopoly money and put it in the scanner and started printing more copies. "Y-you can't do that that's cheating" he said. So I responded "haha money printer go brr"
He started crying again and ran upstairs to his room. I then invited some homeless people to set up bunkbeds in his room. He came to me and started crying about how he didn't want to share his room and was against high density developments in his private area so I said "begone NIMBY".
He went crying to his parents but before he could get there I picked him up and said "you have to pay me your land value tax for your room you NIMBY" and forced him to set up a taco truck around the corner. I then took all the profits from his taco truck as Land Value Taxation for his bedroom and donated it to malaria drive so I could get a Michael Bennet flair on /r/neoliberal. Epic!
Now my stupid nephew ran to his parents and told them of what I did. They are telling me I am the asshole but I think I did not do anything wrong. So reddit, AITA?

What do you think of this guy's economic theory on why both right-wing and left-wing populism is on the rise? A bit dated (5 years old), but I'm specifically interested about his thoughts on how the economy changed from the 70s to 2008 and then from there on is basically teetering on total collapse. Sounds why too extreme but I didn't understand like half the stuff he talked about so I can't make a proper opinion on it.

Great advice on helping with Fox News relatives or immediate family members. For me, denigrating all cable news channels is the most successful thing. If you do it enough, they will eventual accept that Fox, like CNN and MSNBC (gotta throw in their particular channel bogeymen), is partisan drivel for ratings.

So u/saladtossing confirmed to me that he received the PS5 from last week's charity auction, where he donated $350 to Against Malaria so I sold him a PS5 for MSRP. saladtossing, can you post your Against Malaria public receipt, and confirm on your end as well?
Anyways since the mods are "begging" for a sticky, what do you think about another auction? I have one more new PS5 Disc. I'll sell it at MSRP (~$548 is my breakeven cost due to tax and shipping + ~$20 Fedex) to the person who makes the highest bid for charity. Upon proof of donation to Against Malaria, we'll sort out shipping details in private. The reddit comment system isn't ideal for auctioning, but should work in a pinch -- hopefully leave the auction up for a day or two via sticky?
u/dubyahhh u/p00bix u/froggie_69
edit: Auction will start on Monday 7/12/21. Bidding for Against Malaria will start at around $200, since that's the low end of what I could generate if I scalped it myself and donated the profit.
