re: #238 🐈 Crush White Nationalism 🐈

Well, while mocking and snarking on Jonah Goldberg is almost always a justified and useful endeavor, he does have a point here. If Nikole Hannah-Jones does believe that the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan “…when they knew surrender was coming”, she is (IMHO) adopting a (to say the least) dubious proposition. Yeah, I know she’s probably just taking the usual *radical* view that anything accepted as “official” or even just “accepted” history is ipso facto wrong/biased/propaganda, but in this case, the relative likelihood of Imperial Japan’s willingness to “surrender” prior to August 1945 is a pretty-well-documented issue. With the general odds in favor (“official” version or no) being rated, at the time, as near-zero.
