@TheGhostofElec1 @ashokdadhwal196 @NizMhani @andrewfeinstein Islam is not a state. That’s like mapping thr spread of Christianity or Buddhism

@ashokdadhwal196 @NizMhani @andrewfeinstein Do you mean like what Islam has been doing for 1400 years?🤔

Israel has extended its invasion of Lebanon beyond the Litani River up to the El Zahrani river, expelling over a million people within this area. Israel is effectively planning to invade and occupy 14% of Lebanon and the international community is allowing it. For proportional context, this is the equivalent of Wales and Northern Ireland (combined) being invaded and occupied in the UK... or Texas, California and Montana (combined) in the US.

@MRYOURPLUG @FaraiMazhindu Now the conversation has shifted again. He was talking about migration for better lives not countries supposedly begging. Can you provide the stats I asked for

@desounds @FaraiMazhindu North Korea is the most sanctioned country in the world yet they don't go around with a begging bowl

China is a superpower with world-class infrastructure, yet you never see its neighbors demanding open borders or claiming to be one people to infiltrate its economy. In Asia, a neighbor's success triggers competition, not a migration crisis. When Vietnam sees China or South Korea winning, the response isn't "let us in," it's "how do we build our own?" They prioritize national development over regional dependence. This stands in stark contrast to the dependency syndrome seen in parts of Africa, where functional economies are often pressured to dissolve borders under the guise of pan-Africanism. While Asia defines itself by sovereignty and distinction, many regional movements elsewhere prioritize assimilation over self-sufficiency. Asia isn't building a borderless union, it's a network of sovereign competitors. Africa has a lot to learn from Asia.

So I’m supposed to believe 30k were killed in protests but a month of indiscriminate bombing — 2k killed.

It's really crazy just how cooked Nigeria is as a country. I mean much more proof do you need that the government is compromised and colonized?

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸The Iranian embassy in South Africa posted photos of the two commanders who ordered the attack on the school that killed 180 children and wrote: “Remember these two criminals. Leigh R. Tate, the commander, and Jeffrey E. York, the executive officer of the USS Spruance, who ordered the launch of Tomahawk missiles three times, killing 168 innocent children at a school in Minab. Don’t they have children of their own?”

@mattvanswol @NYCMayor And he didn’t call these Jewish extremist here. He just pointed to what the fbi designated this group as

@NYCMayor When a radical Muslim threw an honest-to-God BOMB at American citizens in New York City... ...you didn't call them radical Muslims, in fact, you didn't mention their affiliation to any groups Why the difference?

A member of an offshoot of the Jewish Defense League — designated by the FBI as a "known violent extremist organization" — was allegedly building explosive devices to target the home of Nerdeen Kiswani in a chilling act of political violence. The defendant reportedly planned to flee to Israel following the attack. This comes amid an alarming rise in threats and violence across the country targeting Palestinian human rights advocates. I am thankful that the NYPD and FBI thwarted this plot, which could have endangered Nerdeen’s life and those of other New Yorkers. Let me be clear: We will not tolerate violent extremism in our city. No one should face violence for their political beliefs or their advocacy. I am relieved that Nerdeen is safe. Our city must meet hate with solidarity, and meet fear with an unshakable commitment to justice and to one another.

@aimk27 May god free the Palestinians? When all is takes is the empire to stop. Yet you’re here calling on god

You’re going around in circles. My point is clear, practice what you preach. May God free Palestine and be with the brave Palestinians in Gaza. Nothing is dirtier than a hypocrite, you eat from empire, work in the economy of empire, consume empire media and entertainment, and have the audacity to tell others how to live their lives. No buddy, wanna use ad hominem attacks, sure, you’re filth an a degenerate ideologue loser. Get lost.

We truly owe so much to Trump. This man has done more to dismantle Western client states in MENA than 50 years of progressive foreign policy. And is now publically humiliating MBS & delegitimizing the gulf oil monarchies. Our decolonial hero. I can’t help that I love him & wish we could give him a third term

@aimk27 @aphrosociety We’d leave empire but will empire leave us? People are relaxing in Cuba/gaza and empire is bothering them and you’ll open your dirty mouth to say leave empire.

Hypocrisy, leave empire if you don’t like empire. Practice what you preach. It’s easy to make these points behind a keyboard but quieter different when you live in the Middle East/West Asia and experience war first hand. You have no idea what you’re talking about, nor are you educated in our region, people and geopolitical history/dynamics. Never said one should love empire, I’m stating facts about MENA diaspora communities who carry an unusual amount of hatred and resentment towards the Gulf. I’m entitled to reply and give my opinion, as you are.

Libertarianism: "We abolished the state's role in food safety" China: "We didn't"

@Will_Tanner_1 Cry me a river. You produced a screenshot and not the article. He was pronounced not guilty and even if he was guilty isn’t positive news when one turns his life around. Keep whining and being a loser

Nothing has none more to discredit itself in recent years than the judiciary And that includes the medical establishment during Covid, and Congress with all of its disgusting and craven antics

@myth20c @Will_Tanner_1 Fake news. We don’t know anyone’s lsat

@Will_Tanner_1 Allegedly his LSAT score of 139 puts him the bottom 10% of test takers: lsac.org/data-research/…

@aimk27 @aphrosociety Of course. One is only safe inside a violent empire. Doesn’t mean one should love said empire

What’s funny is behind these tweets is probably a first or second-generation immigrant from these “clients states” (MEA) who not only milked the American system and who’s entire livelihood is centered around the ‘empire’ but also got their home countries destroyed by the very same ‘empire’. Why not stay in your ancestral homelands if you’ll end up playing ball? Why not rebuild your country? Why not move to Algeria, or Cuba or North Korea if you care about “client states” so much? Why the blatant hypocrisy? “Gulf oil monarchies” are indigenous emirate systems that have controlled and ruled their respective territories for hundreds of years before the arrival of Europeans or Americans. There is no shame in acquiring US defence, pegging our currencies to the dollar, and allying with America when it BENEFITS our people. When our people have a high life expectancy, when they have free universal healthcare, when they have strong passports and ease of travel, when they have world-class education and universities, when our governments INVEST in the people… so yes, we the GCC are proud allies of the West.

@_tokuninai @PamphletsY @WQuebe76605 Han are made up for various ethnicities. They’re just culturally unified

@PamphletsY @WQuebe76605 lmao 90%+ of the entire population is the same ethniticity, those are 1920s USA demographics

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING — Trump Admits Socialism Works "I have to say, I respect China, because it’s incredible that with a system that, in theory, shouldn’t work—you know, we go to school, we go to the best business schools, we do well in those schools, and we read about free entrepreneurship, and we read about all these different things— But if you look at China, how well they do, how much they produce. I mean, they produce so many cars that they actually have competitions over who can produce the fewest cars because they have so many cars. You have to have great respect for China for the work they do. Whether you like them or not, you have to respect them."

Asante Sana Africa

fun fact: when the imf sugar baby babangida became military leader of nigeria, a university professor earned the naira equivalent of $30k, but after he rapidly implemented imf policies, within the first year of his administration the value of their naira earnings fell to ~$1k

@KstutisVai27005 @MikaelCBernard USA invaded because it chooses to. Violence is the central principle of the empire. China will take Taiwan and it won’t be in the way the west would do it. Because it’s wiser to do so without violence

@desounds @MikaelCBernard China doesn't invade Taiwan because it can't. The US doesn't invade someone because it chooses to do so. China literally has bee posturing on invading Taiwan for a long, long time now.

For the first time, Americans are being ruled by the type of clowns they impose abroad. If Trump was from Uganda, the U.S. would be his biggest ally. A clown like this would declare himself emperor for life, and change the days of the week to his name.

@KstutisVai27005 @MikaelCBernard Not everyone is a Barbarian. China has no reason to invade Taiwan. That’s a western fantasy because that’s how they engage the world

@MikaelCBernard I mean, you're the one saying "nothing is stopping China from invading Taiwan now" Cool, so wake me up when they do it, coperino

@grizzlybizzly @BenGKaplan65 @shannonrwatts God you guys are dumb.

@BenGKaplan65 @shannonrwatts Have you taken a gander inside a sociology journal ? It’s def Marxism

Afraid people might realize that what society tells them is an individual’s failure is actually a systemic breakdown.
