Or you can... Build more houses. It's not that complicated.

That's great. Maybe the information leaks and some poor Yemeni gets to run to safety once.

"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.

.ml is notorious for arbitrary bans so I wouldn't think too much about it. There are active alternatives for most (but probably not all) communities hosted there. Criticizing Russia there is also a great way to get in trouble with the admins because they're explicitly tankies.

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?

I mean Zionism's core tenet is literally Make Israel Great Again so that's probably not a coincidence. Interfascist solidarity also counts for a lot 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.

When you have Farage gaining support every day by running on a populist agenda you need someone to counter him.

Note that he needs to be countered with an economic populist (read: at least center-left) agenda. They need to actually do things for the people first. Rightwing demagogues don't have that problem because their followers axiomatically think bigotry is good, but you wanna replicate that on the left you'll need the Bernie version, not the Trump version.

Okay fair enough.

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".
