Fucking USAians can't find anyone other than two doddering old fools to chose between to "lead" their country, but it's "The Best Democracy ®".
not true, they also have doddering old fool whose brain was eaten by worm! AND MORE!
Plus (AFAIK) because of the shitty electoral system in the US, it's really hard to even get on the ballots. So it's not even like people who want actual change can vote somebody like West or PSL (Forgot the name of their candidate) because in half of the states they're not even on the ballot. Fucking great
Etit: hope not to start a struggle session, but is cornel west a good candidate? He seemed miles above recent mainstream US politicians to me (keep in mind I'm not Amerikkkan, fortunately)
He's not a good candidate but he is better than the others.
An average rock have better political stance than mainstream US candidates.
i'm not american either, but IIRC he has better stances on a lot of stuff than almost any other candidate, but also seems to support some patsocs or something like that? something fash adjacent.
Then there's the guy who invented new torturing techniques in Guantanamo Bay
Also even when we had total control of somebody's government we didn't set one up like ours. But a bunch of constitution literalists keep insisting what our founders did was perfect and an inspiration to the world. "Best Democracy strikes again!"
They love the Constitution's baked-in oligarchy, only rich white males had any power originally, and still do in reality.
Racist Christians calling Hamas antisemitic is fucking projection.
Jews have always been safer living in Islamic societies. Christians have always been a bigger threat and more dangerous to the Jewish people, its not even close.
One of the reasons that the Shoah was significantly less intense in North Africa was that there simply wasn’t a consistent, nauseating tradition of Judeophobia there like there was in Europe. Violence against Judaists did break out sporadically, yet even so one should exercise caution when comparing it to the anti‐Jewish violence under European Christendom, which tended to have more superstitious justifications.
Many Jews and Muslims allied against Axis imperialism, and the Axis’s anti‐Jewish propaganda was rarely effective in Africa:
“Overall, German propaganda failed.”^117^ The vast majority of the Muslim population in the whole region showed no reaction to German calls for religious violence, and the Islamic slogans of [Axis] propaganda had little resonance in religious circles and among leading ʻulama.^118^
[…]
In fact, many of the interviewees, now in their early 90s, reported that anti‐Jewish propaganda had no impact on Jewish–Muslim relations in this region. Overall, the import and character of European anti‐Semitism was alien and incomprehensible to the Muslim population. Despite long‐standing attitudes, both Islamic and traditional, that stigmatized Jews as inferior, the local population could not envision their survival in the bled without a Jewish presence, as Lahcen, a farmer in his late 80s noted.

Zionist historians exploit the fact that Haj Amin al‐Husseini, Mufti of Jerusalem, helped set up the Waffen SS Muslim divisions, Handschar, Kama and the Albanian Skanderberg. However, these divisions were so reluctant to participate in anti‐Jewish actions that they were sent to France for retraining, whereupon they promptly mutinied and attempted to join the French resistance, the only known rebellion of an SS unit. The Bosnian SS units played no part in the anti‐Jewish deportations, which were left to the Croatian SS and the [Third Reich].

Liberals really love the idea of "civilizations" or religions clashing, it sort of sets the stage for their imperialism.
ayup. Westernauts have been writing stories about this bs for, idk, 200 years? The "fall of rome" haunts the anglian brain vault like a wolf stalking the streets of 17th century Paris.
"Ancient desires". Damn, what's next? Is it "in their blood" or are they "genetically predisposed" to be like that?
