  1. Or maybe there is a way like with religion in Iran and Afghanistan. But even there i think it’ll crumble soon-ish. Although who knows, i don’t know anything.
  2. I mean Trump and MaGa is in a way just a race against time. Trump is already not very popular and at some point there will be more brown people in the US than not. Same with Putin and the decline of Russia and so on. There is no way to really stop progress. It can be slowed down. Which maybe sometimes it « should »
  3. My bad. I confused you and OP because you have a similar profile pic and same ideology.
  4. Nice. You are on a roll man. I wonder if next you’re going to talk about the patriarchy, genocide or white fragility. I’m very excited.
  5. Nice. So is this just like an opinion? Or do you know this? Do you personally also try to see the best in the Maga crowd and fascist or even just republicans and right wingers?
  6. I wonder how those gulf states and KSA etc. are going to develop. MBS is basically an authoritarian dictator. And Dubai a kingdom which doesn’t allow an opposition out of fear. I guess the people will play along as long as they get money and security. I’ve been to places like Rome and Paris frequently recently and seen many gulf state tourists. They seem very shallow all about money and shopping which might be a projection. But then i heard Qatar has a small non duality community which i found cool.
  7. You know it’s wild if in Europe the welfare state is under pressure and also cheaper medication etc. As it « should » have been the other way. That hyper capitalism and military industrial complex should have been under pressure in the US. I guess we’ll see. Because of defense/army spending etc.
  8. Honestly i have zero interest in convincing you of anything. You can believe what you want. Ciao bello
  9. And also integration in certain European countries means that you have to do some stuff. Like as a man you have to be able to shake a woman’s hand. You have to respect women to a certain extent. The laws. Criticism of religion. Which some Muslim men for example have a problem with shaking women’s hands etc.
  10. Well in Europe recently-ish there are many young men immigrants from Muslim countries who don’t integrate well. Commit crimes etc. even second generation. Look at Sweden for example.
  11. I think you have to look at every country separately and then see what works with immigration and what not. You can’t say immigration is good and you can’t say it’s bad. Depends if the country is willing to integrate the immigrants and also if the immigrants are willing to integrate into another society.
  12. So what are you going to do about it?
  13. I mean if it makes you happy. To me it’s just boring and not really helpful to always reduce everything to a few buzzwords like. Nazi, colonialist, genocide, islamophobe, communist, patriarchy and so on.
  14. Yea i always said Elon Musk and Trump etc. are wannabe fascists. But there are other fascists than the Nazis. For example Franco in Spain or Mussolini aka Muskolini or Argentina and Chile and Portugal.
  15. This is just lame fortune cookie talk.
  16. Comedian Theo Von and JD pants
  17. Was just at a free Palestine protest coincidentally a while ago. I think it’s good that they protest. But it was as cringe as expected. The slogans were in English which i find lame because i‘m not from an English speaking country. Just kind of shows me that they cooy and paste from woke ideology from the US And the slogans were exactly those kind of lame slogans as expected. Viva viva Palestina (this one is ok) From the river to the sea Palestine will be free (lame) And something about we won’t let you die Palestine. I think it’s good that they protest but i couldn’t stay longer than 5 mins of this cringe slogans etc.
  18. I know. No free will to do it and no free will to not think it’s too much.
  19. Yea baby. Pretty much in the middle. What i love about Europe easy to get around by train. I can be in France in 80 minutes and in Italy in less than 3 hours. Human rights. Lgbt rights. Trains. Architecture. Food. Walkability. Culture. Etc Dubai is pretty much lacking in human rights and freedoms no? I know life is good there if you’re rich but otherwise for the indian construction workers etc. No bueno.
  20. Western (especially US) govts also gave Saudis weapons which they used to fight Yemenis no? I wish Leftists would have more protests against Saudis for example. Womens rights, LGBT, yemen, dissidents the list is long.
  21. Now i’m conversing too much on this forum though.
  22. Will be interesting when California decides to split from the rest of the bunch.
