--> It's very important that whatever your politics, you look for news that is on the other side of issues, as long as it is high-fact-containing. Media bias charts can help you figure out reliable sources.

Non-reliable sources are CBS, Fox, OAN.



"THIS IS A POST ABOUT WHY FASCIST ELITES MUST RECRUIT MEN AS FOOT SOLDIERS WHO HATE AND FEAR ASSERTIVE WOMEN TO THE POINT OF VIOLENCE AND MURDER.
… especially those portrayed as “disobedient, Communist whores” or whatever the current terms for uppity women are … The man who has unearthed more about the fascist mind than anyone before or since is Klaus Theweleit, an 83-year-old German sociologist."

"And the men who become fascist foot soldiers are highly correlated with the fear of, and malevolent hatred for women who … “do not know their place.”
Theweleit uses his sources to demonstrate that women (ALL women) are more like non-player-characters (NPCs) to the fascist foot soldiers than people. Only other men, and REALLY only other fascist men, are people." Sources are listed at the end of the article.

"After 48 hours of torture, Dr. Christie wrote a forced confession — “the best thing I ever wrote,” he later told the BBC, noting that he had made sure the confession included “all my recommendations to the African National Congress” about the best way to sabotage Koeberg and other facilities.

“And, gloriously, the judge read it out in court,” Dr. Christie added. “So my recommendations went from the judge’s mouth” straight to the A.N.C."

Long article:

2026 Jan 14: NYT: "Renfrew Christie Dies at 76; Sabotaged Racist Regime’s Nuclear Program" by Adam Nossiter. "He played a key role in ending apartheid South Africa’s secret weapons program in the 1980s by helping the African National Congress bomb critical facilities."
