Has history ever seen a state (or states in the case of the EU) so hell-bent on committing suicide? They're racing towards becoming an economic backwater at this rate. Bonus points for demilitarizing itself as well by funneling all their materiel into Ukraine sans their nukes. Even if parties opposed to this absolutely mad course of total vassalization by the US take power in the EU, Russian gas is not coming back. Not for decades at the very least.

Just because someone has a worldview contradictory to yours does not mean they're a propagandist. You could even take it as a learning opportunity to try to understand why he has the positions he does rather than just dismissing them out of hand.

I've haven't finished it yet but I've been working my way through The East is Still Red: Chinese Socialism in the 21st Century by Carlos Martinez. It doesn't satisfy your latter condition, but so far I've found it to be a good broad overview of the PRC and it goes on to argue that China remains socialist contrary to some Western misconceptions that China abandoned socialism with the Deng Xiaoping reforms. I guess I'd liken it to Blackshirts & Reds in that it's an introduction to what Actually Existing (Chinese) Socialism is like and how it developed.

The misuse of AGAB language to exclude trans women from women-only spaces is just transphobia dressed up in "woke" language. "Assigned At Birth" is a verb. It is something that happened to trans people coercively. It is very frustrating to see cis people weaponize this term that they don't understand to just do slightly different sounding transphobia. If a space is women only but excludes trans women, then it's just an admission that the group does not see trans women as "real" women. If a women only space wants to exclude all nonbinary people for whatever reason, that's fine, but this "AFAB-only" schtick is very transparent and it would be refreshing if those groups would just be honest about their transphobia instead of playing this silly language game that they pretend is still inclusive.

Because for people in the imperial core, AI slop invading every part of the internet and making it viscerally worse is more visible and tangible than imperialism destroying lives and the environment (mostly) abroad.
