@shriverist Poland as blue is retarded. CDPR alone mogs most countries.

This is an extremely difficult and highly subjective task, but here's my attempt to map countries based on whether they punch above or below their weight when it comes to global culture

@AzeRty35889 @visegrad24 maybe in Moscow that's the average. But this is Rostov.

@visegrad24 Small reminder that average wage in Russia is 1200$. This is 1% of their whole wage per liter

The authorities of Russia’s Rostov region are also fighting multi-kilometer queues at gas stations They have set a new record by raising the price of 92-octane gasoline to 939 Russian rubles, which equals $12.23/per 1 litre.

@The_Fatalace @haugejostein They don't have social programs.

@haugejostein A "socialist market economy" is basically an oxymoron. "Market" economies are a form of CAPITALISM Vietnam and China have government controlled market-economies with attached social programs Pure socialist economies always fail because they do not account for human nature.

The two fastest-growing economies in the 21st century have been China and Vietnam. Both follow a model that's shockingly easy to summarise: a socialist market economy focused on export-oriented industrialization.

@BlueDogDemUSA @mihrd__ @BarneyFlames Egypt is hellish.

@mihrd__ @BarneyFlames Same with Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt in North Africa.

"GDP is useless, lets measure success by number of kids" Behold, the richest countries in the world as per JD Vance and post-liberals

@brdmoedr That's dumb and trivial

To say something constructive for once, I feel like the main theme of Goodbye Lara will be that "true love" can take many forms and the love you have for your friends, family, etc. is just as "real" as romantic love.

@BohuslavskaKate @pierre_dalai The Economist is a long time America bad publication. They are getting paid by Russia and China.

@pierre_dalai That is a possibility of course, but, at least in the Economist case, I believe its sensationalism rather then being paid. And thank you!

In light of the recent data breach of Ksenia Sobchak’s media empire, Ostorozhno Media, exposing her as working directly with Russian authorities, I want to remind everyone that this ✨️article ✨️ exists. ​The Kremlin keeps sending stool pigeons to the West, and Western media publishes every piece of Russian propaganda they are given and hungrily asks for more. ​Every person with knowledge of the region (or more than two living brain cells) told the NYT that they were platforming a propagandist at the time the article was released. Did they listen? Nope. ​Meanwhile, the interesting things we are finding out from the data breach include groveling to Kremlin censors, namely Sergey Novikov, head of the Kremlin’s Presidential Directorate for Social Projects; hard-core self-censorship on the fuel crisis in Russia; scolding her chief news editor for publishing bad remarks about Russian messenger Max, an FSB project to keep the Russian internet space under control; long talks with Margarita Simonyan; funding from the Moscow Mayor's office and state-backed corporations; and many, many more interesting things exposing Ksenia herself and her media as a complete and total Kremlin tool. ​Yet, does the Western media learn anything from this? Nope. The Economist article with Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko shows exactly how much nonsense they are ready to swallow if you wave a chance to write a ✨️sensation✨️ in front of their noses. ​Maybe it's time to stop and think about whether your sensationalism feeds your own citizens with foreign propaganda and helps an invading state wage a war and keep murdering civilians daily?

@The_Badspartan @The__Comedian__ @FoxfordComics Your average Asian-ass Kazakh has more Steppe Yamnaya ancestry than Greeks btw.

@The__Comedian__ @5fkkofM @FoxfordComics Well yeah, the gig would be up. The Turkish government relies on this lie to have some sort of national unity. The Turkish government has been doing this for centuries now.

I genuinely can't get into the mind of a brown. I have no idea what's being conveyed here

@The_Badspartan @The__Comedian__ @FoxfordComics Kazakhs are 60% East Asian and 40% West Eurasian. Kyrgyzs are the most Asian Turks in Central asia with 65% east Asian autosomal DNA. Turkmens, Uzbeks are more West Eurasian. Seljuks would be like Turkmens invading Anatolia. There's genetic and linguistic clines from east to west

@The__Comedian__ @5fkkofM @FoxfordComics Sounds like he's big mad that the entire Turkish identity was made-up.

@The_Badspartan @The__Comedian__ @FoxfordComics If you're that interested in genetics why don't you at least do the courtesy of asking Gemini for a reddit source? Anatolia was very sparsely populated compared to Western Europe. Turks were already mixed. At the time they arrived in Anatolia they were already more West Eurasian

@The__Comedian__ @5fkkofM @FoxfordComics Also just makes logical sense. Anatolia was pretty densely populated by Greek and Anatolian hill peoples. The number of actual Turks that invaded Anatolia was very small. There logically wouldn't be a huge effect DNA wise on modern day Anatolians.

@gaiaslastlaugh You're a faggot

This piece was >1,700 words, and I still couldn't fit in everything I wanted to discuss - like the book/film MAMORENAKATTA MONOTACHI E (To Those We Couldn't Protect), which tackles Japan's public safety net system and its failures straight on.

@The_Badspartan @The__Comedian__ @FoxfordComics Ai citing Reddit is your canon LMAIO

@The__Comedian__ @5fkkofM @FoxfordComics Crazy when people have their own head canon.

@Moritasgus @DrewPavlou @AGDugin She was ugly

@DrewPavlou @AGDugin You are a nasty homo Drew. Only a faggot would celebrate that beautiful young lady's murder.

Your daughter was scum and you are scum. We will all celebrate your demise @AGDugin

@NachoBiznezs @bernabeo2022 @thedialogist Greeks are uniquely third worldist as they also support Russia.

@bernabeo2022 @thedialogist Small groups of emaciated edgelord Hamas sympathizing vegans exist in every European city … all bark no bite

I consider it to be a huge tell if someone doesn’t like Athens. It’s not a hyper-manicured or Disneyfied European capital. It’s a real, living place with some of the best food and nightlife in the world alongside the most breathtaking antiquities in existence.

@nygma0451 @OcultShinobi Islam was Turks back then not retarded Arabs and Persians. Almost all Europeans used to have neutral to positive view of Islam in the 19th century.

@OcultShinobi They sorta were. They were Islamophilic.

If the Japanese Empire were still around today, it would have been considered third-worldist

@The__Comedian__ @The_Badspartan @FoxfordComics The science (.) org source says 3/4 and reddit source says 90%. Of course you cited the reddit source. 3/4 is accurate for mainland Greeks. 50% is more like it for Anatolian Greeks and 20% for Pontic Greeks.

@5fkkofM @The_Badspartan @FoxfordComics False. They share 90%

@The_Badspartan @The__Comedian__ @FoxfordComics They have as much Turk blood as Greeks have Bronze age Greek blood 20-40%.

@The__Comedian__ @FoxfordComics It's a sad case for sure. Most Turks have very little Turk blood.

@winsrfree @Grxit Bernie Sanders is a communist

@Grxit Bernie Sanders net worth is 3 million after 35 years in Congress but you still post shit like this

Lindsey Graham's net worth after 23 years in Congress: $3 million Marjorie Taylor Greene's net worth after 5 years in Congress: $25 million Tells you everything you need to know

@Radical_Raidou @BrightBian @FranseviEfendi They still associate nomads with the word horde and think that nomadic populations were huge.

@BrightBian @FranseviEfendi For the majority of Ottoman history Anatolia was populated with semi nomadic tribal groups who tend to not grow quickly as populations and maintain low density

People are focusing on Spain but there is another blatantly "empty" country, the Ottoman Empire. Except a few population centres, Ottoman Empire had a low population and this became a major issue once new military models began to require population mobilisation

@merkourios_ @EaterOfRats102 @croantefaco @cornu__copia I said that you retarded niggers are the reason why Russia is able to fund the war against Ukraine. Hope the $4 billion you earned from Russia in blood money will at least be able to make your cities to not look like shit.

@5fkkofM @EaterOfRats102 @croantefaco @cornu__copia You said THIS looks better than Athens nigga. I never said Athens looks good, I just remembered you from when you whined to one of my posts.

"Hyperurbanism", urban density is associated with (East) Asia, but the Eastern Mediterranean is actually the area in the world with most intense high-density urbanism.
