I think this is disappear as a transitive verb, like it’s saying he was disappeared by the US government. It’s not soft language.

Obviously he’s full of shit, but it’s funny to note that because Ukraine currently has presence in Russia, stopping along the current front line would mean giving up Russian territory to Ukraine.

Surprising nobody.

Muslim here. Mary is, in fact, not venerated in Islam in the way Catholics use the term. She’s praised in the Quran, sure, and is considered a Very Good Person, but so are many people. Islam is considered heresy in Christianity because it rejects the Trinity (according to Islam only Unitarians have the slightest clue what they’re talking about), accepts Muhammed as a prophet and rejects parts of the Bible as corrupted.

Maybe I should get into tap-dancing. More seriously fair enough I should’ve thought of that too.

“Can’t easily go to Jerusalem” is only one part of the article, and that aside it’s an egregious attack on Palestinian freedom of movement so not really overdramatic. Israel has been doing much flashier things lately so I get your instinct to dismiss this, but this attitude is part of why Israel has gotten away with its crimes for so long; the world only pays attention to the plight of Palestinians when they’re being blown to bits by Israeli airstrikes and then forgets about them when the planes (mostly) stop flying. This article does a good job of highlighting the quieter parts of Israeli oppression IMO.

An ethnostate is a state made explicitly for one ethnicity that prioritizes that ethnicity over others. The most glaring examples of this are Israel and Apartheid South Africa, but it’s a thing to a much smaller extent in Japan for example. Also note that most European countries do in fact have plenty of native ethnicities; they all just happen to be white. The most obvious example is probably Jews, but there are many others.

As one Lord Kelvin once said: K.

It seems 23% of boys aged 13-15 have a positive opinion of him, as opposed to 53% who have a negative opinion. That’s a majority who hate him to be sure, but not an overwhelming majority. Also note that support for Andrew Tate is higher among young adults than teenagers who haven’t even entered highschool. 27% of British men aged 18-29 have a positive view of Andrew Tates, while 35% agree with “the sort of thing Andrew Tates would say”. He’s liked by a significant minority of his major audience (male teenagers and young/young-ish adults).

The hivemind seems to really hate you even though they’d probably agree the lack of good male role models is very much a cause of the incel epidemic.

Wow. It takes a special (in a bad way) sort of person to see an article about a guy who died in the place of another person in the Holocaust and go “ew, religion”.

Okay maybe a majority, but “overwhelming majority”? No way. There are a lot of incels in America.

Edit: I somehow managed to forget that the article is about Britain.

“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.

Yes, that’s exactly the point.

Yeah but the FO is way too excessive. This man will likely be homeless when he retires or end up working at a 7-11 into his 70s at this rate. All for seven bucks.

Now remember that Iran has almost four times the population of Syria.

Huh? Hell no it’s not! You want Iraq 2.0? Because that’s how you get Iraq 2.0.

Who the fuck cares about any of this? Even if you’re right, so what? What point are you trying to make here?

Some minor pedantry:

In political science, the term banana republic describes a politically and economically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the export of natural resources.

-Wikipedia. El Salvador and America aren’t banana republics; they’re republics that are bananas.

The Ottoman Empire did the same as the west for years,

The Ottoman Empire did what to who again? Screw them for other reasons, but that’s a complete false equivalence. And yes, I know about the Armenian genocide; that happened during their last few years when they were ruled by the very much secular Young Turks.

I think that is what the U.S. fears.

The US fears nothing other than expensive oil and Egypt exercising its sovereignty over the Suez Canal. Don’t make this about religion when the bombs falling on people’s heads are all “secular”.

And right next door to Yemen is Oman which is a peaceful place currently being bombed by no one

And they only needed to turn a blind eye to genocide and be subservient to US interests. Do you see the problem now?
