Obviously fuck Israel but it’s been nice seeing ADL and other Zionist organizations lose credibility over the year and a half.

They’ve always served Israel’s imperial aims, but they’ve been going full mask off lately.

Fair enough.

I said the global South, not the Southern hemisphere.

Since most countries there are generally considered to politically align with China/Russia due to “anti imperialism”,

Are you sure about that? To my knowledge some countries align strongly with Russia or China (mainly Russia as China doesn’t pursue alliances outside their immediate sphere of influence), but the vast majority are opportunists who only marginally sway one side or the other. I’m from the Middle East so I can’t speak much to other regions, but anti-West sentiment is mostly a common people thing that doesn’t make its way to the top levels of government (which are, as I said, primarily concerned with getting the best deal they can). For example geopolitically Egypt is American-aligned because America is supporting the floundering regime financially and militarily, and Morocco naturalized relations with Israel in exchange for US recognition for their claims over Western Sahara. The countries that do align with Russia due to “anti-imperialism” are mostly looking for a new boss to replace the old boss because they hate the old boss (stares at France). This is all to say: Russia and America aligning is of no immediate concern to most countries that don’t have close ties to Western Europe; it’s all about navigating conflicts between global powers and getting the best deal possible for oneself and one’s country.

A notable exception is probably Iran, which will probably be distanced by Russia if the US-Russia alignment fully progresses. However, this is because Iran is trying to attain regional dominance, so rather than getting the best deal they know the deal they want and they’re trying to get it.

Either way the post didn’t explicitly or implicitly encourage violence and should’ve stayed up.

Why do you think that the person who made the meme used Luigi Mangione instead of Bernie Sanders?

Because Luigi everything has been getting censored by establishment media?

Indians don’t look Middle Eastern, though; they look Indian. They’re a very different kind of brown. And either way do racist Germans really care enough to make that distinction? For all they know Muslims are brown people from the Middle East no?

Well, the crux of the issue is that for the last 80 years Western and Central European countries have been content to be America’s lackies and help further their imperialist ambitions around the world even though the EU itself is mostly not imperialist itself (emphasis on mostly stares at France). The biggest example of this is probably Israel. If Europe cuts off America they’d have no reason to continue supporting Israel (which they absolutely do; the EU is Israel’s biggest trading partner) because the only thing Europe gains from supporting Israel in the first place is pleasing America.

As a wise (???) man once said: The courts have made their decision, now let them enforce it.

Legal challenges will not be enough.

Sucks for Ukraine but I’m looking forward to how this will affect the world geopolitically. Hopefully the breaking of Europe with America will give the global South some breathing room.

Are you sure? Because to my knowledge most Muslims in Germany are Middle Eastern and therefore quite easy to distinguish from the white Germans around them.

I… don’t think USAID is the one doing those things.

But my question was particularly referring to that divide based on pure ethnicity because who you call “black people” are exactly as American as who you call “white people” with the only difference being having a different darkness of skin that doesn’t even have a determined line at which point someone is considered “white” and at what point someone is considered “black”.

So the short of it is that the wealthy classes in colonial North America created this divide to make white people feel better about keeping slaves from Africa even though they converted to Christianity. That’s it, it’s all a ruse by the ultra rich. However, the ruse has continued for so long that even after racism “ended” (it absolutely hasn’t) the system is very much racist, and that aside it’s just baked into the North American consciousness now. Being black or white or Hispanic is part of one’s identity and in many cases community.

It’s not quite the same as being a migrant group that brought a different culture from a different country.

Many minority groups in America do have different cultures than the white majority, though it’s not quite as big as the difference between Germans and Muslims. For example there are many Hispanic people whose main language is Spanish rather than English, and some blakc people have their own dialect.

Finally I want to add that despite all these details the crux of the issue is xenophobia. That’s why the things Americans say about minorities in general are very similar to the things Germans say about Muslims. Fundamentally it’s the same thing, and Germans and other Europeas will have to deal with many of the same issues America is dealing with now (to a lesser extent though, because of the lack of slavery)

White Americans feel about black people and other minorities roughly how Germans feel about Muslims. And I have to say, Germans do not like Muslims.

They abducted Khalil, took him to an ICE detention center in New York City, then moved him to a different, undisclosed facility. For all of Sunday, Khalil’s wife and lawyer could not locate him; he had effectively been disappeared. Only yesterday did they finally discover his whereabouts: a privately owned ICE detention center flagged by human rights organization for severe medical neglect and both physical and sexual assault.

For a full day, he had been disappeared.

Fill in the blanks:

First they came for the activists, and I __ speak out.

That aside, I have to say, this author is savage.

This is how you know it’s working. See also: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws

So why don’t you try to put pressure on Dems so they represent you better?

Because by the time they get the memo they’ll be in jail cells awaiting trial for insulting god-king Trump and his favorite jester Elon (or vice versa).

This isn’t a Netanyahu problem; it’s an Israel (and more generally Zionism) problem. Zionism is inherently a fascist ideology and genocide is the ultimate end of a fascist state left to roam free.

that practically no scholar in the last 200 years pays attention to.

This is an oxymoron. A (sahih) hadith that no scholar pays attention to literally doesn’t exist. I have also seen this particular hadith quoted before (that’s why I could answer with it off the top of my head), so yeah. Maybe you and your immediate community are different, but Islam as a whole does not accept the act of transitioning.
