Neat video and commentary from WW2

I stumbled across this earlier and thought it was pretty neat. I used to watch a lot of these sorts of documentaries as a kid, but I've never seen this one before.

Interesting that globalresearch.ca is pushing the covid-19 is a hoax narrative

https://www.globalresearch.ca/manufactured-pandemic-testing-people-any-strain-coronavirus-not-specifically-covid-19/5707781

A quick glance at this particular author's other articles gives a glimpse into their world view. Just more stuff to make you wonder where at least SOME pressure pushing the conspiracy nonsense is coming from. You can search covid-19 on that and find other "interesting" articles written about this. I didn't think to check that site to see what they were saying until I was looking up youtube videos to make me angry, and some right-wing conservative nutter quoted that article. Weird world we live in.

I wish our debates functioned more like the ones from IQ Squared

They would be so much more useful and productive. I just want to hear the candidates discuss ideas and with each other without some moderators constantly trying to silence them, and without them being framed similar to how we discuss a sports game. Here's their youtube page for those who haven't seen them.

I'm seeing a fair number of #bernieorbust tags on social media (namely twitter)

I thought we were past that now? That sort of stuff really seems like #MAGAlite support chant. This, of course, applies across the board to any My Candidate of Bust movements, but the bernie one seems to actually have some legs. From what I can tell, most people here don't follow that mindset. Any Bernie folks run into many of these bernie or bust types? Any chance of them not making such mistakes if Bernie doesn't get it? I know if I saw someone saying "Biden or Bust", then I'd be rather annoyed and push them to reconsider that mindset.

I am also curious how many of these are real people and how many are not. Need to start digging in to see if they give off any "bot/cyborg smells", because it really does seem counterproductive.
