Sure but it’s still them making a conscious choice to keep oppressing a group until an unrelated reality fixes their shit. Doesn’t sound like they’re good guys at all tbh.

What a coincidence. I had pork green beans and potatoes last night. Even steamed the beans! Different prep for the rest tho lol. Looks delicious!

A jihadist coup won’t result in the infrastructure you hope for. It will result similarly to other jihadist nations, torn apart by sectarian violence and religious oppression. It’s telling that you want to overlook that aspect to focus on geopolitical intrigue that doesn’t affect the daily lives of Nigerians.

I never said a coup in theory was bad. I’m saying this coup is bad because sometimes it turns out that bad people can be couped by worse people.

Progressive movements will never be fueled by religious fundamentalism, your waffling about how a religiously zealous Castro could be progressive is you playing dumb because if you actually believe in progressive ideals you’d know organized religion back by the state is the opposite of those ideals.

Do you think a jihadist regime will be closer to a democratic society? From my understanding of religious extremism, it would probably make it less democratic.

If Castro was a religious zealot I’d also prefer Batista stay in power tbh. Castro was more secular though so I don’t see it as inherently doomed to an even more fucked up level of abuse and control and wouldn’t hold the same perspective. Because the two scenarios are noticeably different.

Don’t get me wrong, I do like the idea of colonial territories being made economically independent and such but I don’t think a movement that self describes as jihadist will get them going in the right direction to a just society.

I don’t find pleasure in the success of jihadist movements that overthrow democratic elections. I think the world would be better off with less religious extremists exerting control over people. It’s like celebrating the creation of North Korea because western powers lost influence over the area. Doesn’t make the inevitable oppression any more tolerable.

Mental healthcare gets held back by people like you who think their ignorance is more valid than the knowledge of people that actually study these phenomenon from the goal of understanding it.

I hope you have enough self awareness to realize you’re allowing conservatives to sabotage your principles through wedge issue scapegoats that are misrepresented.

The only times a Nintendo console wasn’t backwards compatible at least one generation was when they changed the hardware that Roms ran on. GC played on Wii which played on WiiU. As long as new switch keeps the cartridges it should be compatible.

That looks like a nice place for a walk

Actually I bring this up because when talking about famines people love to downplay the strife caused by capitalists maximizing profit and socializing loses.

Ironically your last paragraph is a pretty accurate paraphrasing of the usual dialogue around capitalisms faults.

Modern Russian is a capitalist oligarchy. Your entire position is based on ignorance of how the world functions.

The question becomes then, are those stable democracies threatened? I would argue no, that you’re using irrelevant examples to prove your position.

American capitalism was threatened to an extent by Bernie’s campaign and a contemporary cnn headline compared his “rise” to that of Hitler. So you tell me. Do they get defensive when actual leftist principles are on the line. Looks to me that it is the case.

I’m glad you answered in their stead. Obviously you’re the kind of person to steel man arguments to truly show their weaknesses and strengths. You’d never regurgitate boiler plate talking points from people opposed to the ideology.

Never look up how many famines have been overseen by capitalist countries btw. It’d make your comparison lack any meaningful difference. India was run by the east India trading company when they had the bengal famine after all. And don’t forget how the Irish “potato” famine happened. (The British made it a crime to keep any non potato crop for themselves).

Look up some stats. More people that lived during the stable years miss it compared to the economic unrest they face now.

I would say you’re arguing from ignorance then. The civil war in America happened because slavers didn’t like the outcome of an election.

It’s about threatening mob violence if “you try it in a small town”. Various actions are included such as actual crimes or disrespecting a police officer. It also throws in a line about how gubmint wants all your guns and they’ll totally act on that any day now so buy as many guns and as much ammo as you can.

The silent majority didn’t really participate. What were seeing is the results of the loud minority.

Eat shit remy

So if we just stop subsidizing it so ridiculously it should go way down to sustainable levels then right?

It’s good to see actual criminals facing justice for once.

One of the angles is 180 though so imagine what the two sides joined there would look like. After all this isn’t to scale.
