GidI wonder which kind of brain twisting those #MAGA|s are doing who have the #Reagen era still in mind. #ReaganDoctrine. A time where the radical islamstic #Mujahideen were supported against #Soviets. And now they are not supporting a democratic country against the the attacks (contrary to international law) of #Russia?
Torsten@tagesschau Es ist erstaunlich, mit welcher Ausdauer sich der Westen in Afghanistan ständig selber in die Fresse haut. Die #Amis, die unter #Reagen den #Taliban schwere Waffen geliefert haben, Deutschland, das Deutschland-kennende #Islamisten nach #Afghanistan schickt ... Man könnte meinen, die westliche Ostpolitik ist Scheiße. Für den Westen.

Unsere #BRD.
Hier ein bisschen was zum Kontext, in dem die #Aiwanger-Family damals in den 80ern agierte.
#Republikaner hatten in West-Berlin 20%. #Historikerstreit, #Kohl und #Reagen besuchten Soldatenfriedhof. usw. usf.

Geschrieben übrigens von Eberhard Seidel, der in den 90ern fand, man sollte dem Osten doch die Mittel streichen, bis die das mit der #Demokratie gelernt hätten.
Neil E. HodgesTIL #Trump is just #Reagen 2.0. (Thread)
tk: What if the past wasn't actually better? What if we only prefer it because we are certain of our memories of it, and are afraid of the uncertainty of the present and future?
tk: I feel like @[email protected] and @[email protected] would appreciate this line of thought.
vriska: yeah I agree with this pretty much 100%, the past sucked ass too, it just feels better cuz we don't remember/didn't experience it.
vriska: the only real difference is that back then you weren't enslaved by consumer capitalism/americanism and no devil machines were in our pockets
tk: > you weren't enslaved by consumer capitalism/americanism
I feel like the US still was back then.
vriska: not until reagan tbh
tk: Everything comes back to him.
I wonder if he was simply a puppet like how Trump was.
vriska: well, he was a dipshit actor with zero experience who developed a cult of personality...
tk: Same shit, different name?
vriska: so it would seem!
tk: Feels kind of gross when people today praise Reagan.
vriska: hes one of the most evil men in modern history tbh
