#BipartisanTrickleDown: Defining #poverty as a #cultural rather than an #economicproblem comported with the #ColdWar #propaganda that extolled an American #wayoflife in which the promise of #endlessgrowth had supposedly overcome class tensions

A well written piece by a lit professor who was on the ground when the original #September11 tragedy occurred. #Allende #Pinochet #coup #democracy
I'm sad and embarrassed that my country had a major role in elevating and installing this right-wing #dictatorship (and many others during the #ColdWar) #foreignpolicy

This game looks very evil and cynical. In fact, that era itself has that aspect.
"LAUNCH COUPS AND PROXY WARS"
Wow.
I love that #coldwar era because that era makes me to feel fanatic and stupidity. I think this is an era that shows well the dark and terrible side of humanity.
I'm looking forward to this game.

"Wars based on ideological competition end only when an ideology is ended (as in never). This incongruity led to the Cold War practice in the US of anti-authoritarian authoritarianism, of using the techniques of authoritarianism to crush authoritarianism abroad, only done ‘at home’... The same is true in the present when politicians use propaganda and censorship to crush views that they find politically inconvenient."

At the height of the #ColdWar , can you imagine how absurd it would’ve seemed for some Futurist to say that “In two generations, #Republicans and #Russians will work in tandem to destabilize the American government”?!

"The failure of Russia’s first moon mission in 47 years underscore the decline of Russia’s space power since the glory days of #ColdWar competition, when #Moscow was the first to launch a satellite to orbit the Earth– #Sputnik 1, in 1957 – and Soviet #cosmonaut #YuriGagarin became the first man to travel into space in 1961."

I have come across a US history comic from c. 1953 distributed by the "US Information Services." I've done a little digging, but not a ton. Anyone know of books or places to get started finding out more? #USDiplomacy #ColdWar #ComicsHistory #Comics

New Global Hibakusha blog post:
New post on the Global Hibakusha blog that includes audio for both of my two part interview on the Nuclear Hotseat podcast.
I talk about medical models of harm from radiation, how we have selected the irradiated (chosen #nuclear test sites), pathologized anxiety about radiation and distributed fallout around the planet and into deep time.

#Triballeaders had been pressing Biden administration officials with a unified message: Don’t let #uranium #mining regain its foothold around the #GrandCanyon… uranium mining during the #ColdWar devastated the #Navajo people… the Havasupai people fear it will #poison the #aquifer… “our #home will no longer be #livable, our water will no longer be there,” Chavez said.
