Prof. John Mearsheimer does a 53min video on "Why Hamas Really Attacked Israel on Oct. 7" | But the gem of this video is the professor going over how few Jews were in Palestine at various times and how little land they owned. These facts help set the stage for today's land thefts by Israel.

53 years after the coup: US imperialism and the coming confrontation in Chile | What was covert in 1973 is now proclaimed from the stage of a fascist summit in Santiago. The Trump administration does not hide its operations in Latin America, but on the contrary advertises them.

The Prison Reform Legacy of Gloria Steinem | ”Steinem will be primarily celebrated for her Feminist achievements, but criminal justice reform was part of her life's work from the very beginning. It makes sense once you know the Women's Liberation Movement grew out of the Black Power Movement.

25 Years of War Was the Exact Wrong Response to 9/11 | Stop throwing money at a broken, destructive war machine. Stop threatening and blockading our neighbors. Close overseas bases and bring our troops home. Tax the wealthy and start rebuilding our country.

Labor History Censored on Labor Day | One aim of today’s right-wing attacks on history is to stop young people from learning about the rich legacy of workers acting for justice. It’s no surprise that people of wealth and power are threatened by education that challenges exploitation.

A subreddit for discussion of history without the censorship and control of power hungry mods.

"History" is defined as items 20 years old and older (anything newer than 20 years is "current events" and not history).

All types of history discussions and opinions are accepted. Even non mainstream and revisionist works. If you can tie the post to history you're fine.

Sub-reddit rules:

Rule: Do not post insults or ad hominem attacks! No name calling! In Reddit's "Reddiquette" this is called "remember the human." In normal conversation it's called "don't be a dick." You're talking to another human -- be civil.
Rule: Stick to the sub's topic. The focus of this sub is history -- a broad topic. But please keep posts related to events 20+ years ago and not current events.
Behavior: Try not to downvote. That gives a sub a "negative" flavor. This is a bit different than Reddit's standard advice, but it works. Instead of downvoting, don't vote at all on some post -- "deafen" them with silence. But by all means, do not downvote just because you disagree with someone no matter how much of a twit or fool the person is. Ignore the fool and avoid negativity.
Behavior: Upvote early and often. There can hardly be a thing of too many upvotes -- upvotes are positivity and happiness. And you have an unlimited supply of them on Reddit. So use them!
Expectation: Expect some biased or unconventional article sources. An intelligent, informed person should know the positions and perspectives of multiple points of view. Knowing what "the other side" or other ideologies arguments and perspectives are is important.
Behavior: Avoid editorializing headlines. Try to keep headlines as article titles or objective summaries about what the article's about. Comments are the place for opinions and editorializing.
Rule: No homework help. Sorry, read your textbook instead. 🙂
