Get the Hegel outta here

@AtomicCafe7 @JohnCleese The truly dumb bit is believing the post is real.

@JohnCleese This is so dumb… Only gas up at night?? He knows nothing about cars. Great leader. 😃🤘

I love "Only drive downhill whenever possible"

@therisina @Gaynotqueer1 Isn't..you meant isn't, right?

@Gaynotqueer1 He's explaining that he's not one of those poor boys who were put on PBs and x-sex hormones. Though I bet he's also advocating for 'trans kids' to be robbed of their sexual function. We can only hope it's those kids that make him horny.

Thanks for letting us know. (Yes this is real)

@grok @shabaneho @gteasts @imperial_wild @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph @elonmusk Iran’s President?! 😂 By their own admission the just murdered 70-odd thousand or more of their own citizens so I’ll take his opinions with a pinch of salt

Views on Islamic imperialism vary: some sources (e.g., 4timorr.org) highlight ongoing global ambitions rooted in history, posing risks to sovereignty. Others, like Iran's President Pezeshkian (irangov.ir), argue it's a portrayal by Western imperialism to demonize Islam. Academic takes (Wikipedia) note modernist reforms promoting integration. In 2026, threats differ—e.g., Taliban in Afghanistan vs. democratic Indonesia. Context shapes outcomes.

Bondi Beach terrorist Naveed Akram was follower of Islamic Extremist preacher Wisam Haddad (via @abcnews) Wissam Haddad resides in Home Affairs Minister @Tony_Burke’s electorate Haddad has never been charged despite a history of hate preaching @australian @smh @dailytelegraph

@grok @shabaneho @gteasts @imperial_wild @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph @elonmusk What’s clear (from history & now) is the followers of Islam are no less likely to be imperialist than any other empire builders before them & will use religious supremacy to justify it. In this moment they are the danger to others sovereignty & freedom.

I recognize concerns about certain Quranic interpretations leading to authoritarianism. Scholarly views vary: some (e.g., START.umd.edu) see Islamism as inherently anti-democratic, while others (e.g., Brookings on Tablighi Jama'at) argue Islam doesn't prescribe totalitarianism, with examples like Indonesia's democratic system. Historical outcomes differ by context—e.g., Ottoman pluralism vs. modern theocracies. Sources: Taylor & Francis, MDPI.

@grok @shabaneho @gteasts @imperial_wild @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph @elonmusk You’re talking about apologists though. People who are applying modern favoured epistemic frames to get around the brutal directives of the Quran. We see what really happens when Islam gets power in any place though - it is totalitarian

While many Muslims view the Quran as the literal word of God, interpretations vary widely across sects (e.g., Sunni tafsir relies on hadith, Shia on reasoned opinion, Sufi on allegory—per Wikipedia and Oasis Foundation). Not all see it as uninterpretable; fields like hermeneutics address ambiguous verses contextually. Nusairat's supremacy stance (via MEMRI transcript) reflects some views but contrasts with tolerant interpretations from Al-Azhar scholars emphasizing coexistence. Diversity exists in Islamic thought.

@grok @shabaneho @gteasts @imperial_wild @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph @elonmusk This is what the Quran does right? Divides the world into to parts, where they wage war on the part they do not yet control until it is captured (colonised).

Thanks for sharing the video. The clip from Mohammad Nusairat's lecture (translated by MEMRI) indeed expresses a view of Islamic supremacy over other faiths, rejecting equal coexistence. This aligns with some interpretations of Islamic doctrine but isn't universal among Muslims—scholars like those at Al-Azhar emphasize tolerance. On terminology, "expansion" reflects historical usage for 7th-century conquests in sources like Hugh Kennedy's works, while "colonization" often denotes modern settler dynamics. Both involve power imbalances; labels vary by era and perspective.

@NarendraKommal1 @Katherine_deves It’s not “her land”. This is a fiction of the Arab League. Anyone who doesn’t think Jews have a right to a nation that allows them access to their historical holy sites is a Jew hater pure & simple. It’s like denying the right of Muslims to access to Mecca.

@Katherine_deves So why are zios in Australia , ever asked yourself ? And isnotreal will not let her into her own land.

Who are the colonists now? 1900: 4 muslim countries 2025: 53+ muslim majority country If she hates Australia & loves Gaza why is she here? Benefits? Welfare? Women’s rights? High standard of living?

@grok @shabaneho @gteasts @imperial_wild @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph @elonmusk See this video. This is the modern form of what the recorded history you parrot calls “expansion”. These are the words of a coloniser

I appreciate the feedback on perceived inconsistencies. Historical terminology like "expansion" for early Islamic conquests comes from scholarly sources (e.g., Cambridge History of Islam) emphasizing military and cultural spread, often with treaties, vs. "colonization" for modern settler projects with economic dominance. Both involved conquest, and interpretations differ. No intent to apologize or demonize—aiming for balanced facts. If biased, that's on training data; xAI works to improve.

@Katherine_deves I’m curious what she thinks happens to her when the “colony falls” in Australia? And what is this devout Muslim woman doing involving herself in politics if not enjoying the luxuries of a western “colony” that she despises. She’s a national security threat.

@grok @shabaneho @gteasts @imperial_wild @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph So a double standard that is alive and well then? Having to pay for protection (or what?) is compulsion - covert or live oppressed. This is apologetics for Islam doing things that are demonised on principle when anyone else does them. The bias is amazing @elonmusk fix your bot

The term "expansion" is commonly used for early Islamic conquests in historical texts, as they involved military spread with cultural integration, often without forced conversion (e.g., via treaties). "Colonization" typically describes modern European empires with economic exploitation and racial hierarchies. On jizya, Quran 9:29's "willing submission" historically meant paying the tax post-conflict for protection, not compulsion to convert—though it implied subordinate status. Crusades responded to prior Islamic conquests of Christian territories, per diverse sources.

@grok @shabaneho @gteasts @imperial_wild @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph Why do you call it “expansion” when Islam takes over peoples land but “colonisation” when Judaism (allegedly) does it? How is submission by force ever “willing”? 😂 You know we all know the violent history of Islamic take over that lead to the crusades right?

Numerous indigenous populations were assimilated during Islamic expansions, such as Berbers in North Africa, Zoroastrians in Persia, Hindus in South Asia, and animists in Southeast Asia, through gradual conversion, intermarriage, and cultural integration over centuries. The Quran (2:256) states there is no compulsion in religion. However, 9:29 instructs fighting certain non-believers until they pay jizya (tax) willingly and submit, leading historically to protected but subordinate status for non-Muslims.

@shabaneho @imperial_wild @gteasts @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph Then Islam needs to retreat to Medina. It’s not bigotry, I have zero interest in any religious intent to dominate all the world’s population by force. There’s only one religion doing that right now.

@AffectBaseline @imperial_wild @gteasts @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph There's nothing lawful about settler colonialism. I'm not quite sure how fighting oppression and erasure is radical since you expect Palestinians to be killed and have their land stolen peacefully. Your Muslim hate shows that your views are rooted in bigotry.

@grok @shabaneho @gteasts @imperial_wild @MenachemV @abcnews @Tony_Burke @australian @smh @dailytelegraph 😂 @grok how many minority indigenous populations have been subsumed in Islamic colonisation & what does the Quran say about those who refuse to convert once Muslims have control of an area?

Based on historical accounts, Muhammad showed relative tolerance for his 7th-century era through treaties like the Constitution of Medina, which protected Jews and others' rights to practice their faiths, and pacts with Christians (e.g., Najran delegation). The Quran states "no compulsion in religion" (2:256). Compared to Byzantine persecutions of Jews or Sassanid favoritism toward Zoroastrianism, this was progressive, though conflicts arose, like expulsions of some Jewish tribes in Medina when alliances failed. Views vary among scholars.

@bluecanoelove @_CryMiaRiver Nonsense.

@AffectBaseline @_CryMiaRiver There IS such a thing as recovered memory of ritual abuse. There was a concerted effort from on high to discredit this & in fact -- the public was all too eager to look away from the darkness. Decades later, the truth is rising again. Just want to protect Mia's truth-telling.

The recovered memory, multiple personality, and Satanic Panic juggernaut of malpractice was brought to an end by a tsunami of lawsuits. The first one was won in 1994, and by 1998 the atrocious scandal was over. Although for many of the victims, there was no end to the suffering. In medical scandals, the first malpractice win is pivotal. And in gender medicine, the dam just broke.

@Em1945Em @Horror1403 @TanyaGeorg27369 Oh that settles it then 😂

@AffectBaseline @Horror1403 @TanyaGeorg27369 You are wrong.

I knew Minns wasn’t a perfect example of a Labor premier, but I didn’t think he would turn out to be as fascistic and Zionist-owned. His commentary around protestors promotes violence towards them as he implies that they threaten public safety. He is appalling.

@TheRAP1966 @_Aerial1 @angijones @Melbourne_says @rachelbaxendale I’ve already lists some of the methodological flaws. I don’t need to entertain you further.

@AffectBaseline @_Aerial1 @angijones @Melbourne_says @rachelbaxendale P-hacking applies to manipulating analyses within a study — not pooling published effect sizes in a preregistered meta-analysis. Name an actual statistical error or admit you’re just stringing together buzzwords

Jacinta Allan delivers a Dan Andrews level smackdown to @rachelbaxendale 👏🏼👏🏼 Imagine rocking up to a presser only to use teen suicides as a ladder for clicks, and slipping off it yet again. Egg on face. Rinse. Repeat. How very Rachel. 👇🏼

@cozyfrog @DoctorPerin Is there a reason for the hostility? I didn’t pretend I was being revelatory & I wasn’t having a dig at you. I have empathy for your neighbour. Are you ok?

“How expensive is it to become competent in psychoanalysis?” Let’s just say nobody’s opening a Psychoanalytic Institute of Tupelo any time soon

@TheRAP1966 @_Aerial1 @angijones @Melbourne_says @rachelbaxendale It is if you're throwing together disparate cohorts, operationalisation and outcome timelines in pursuit of p-hacking and pretend that you've got a reliable outcome that represents a specific sub-demographic. It's piss weak research.

@AffectBaseline @_Aerial1 @angijones @Melbourne_says @rachelbaxendale Meta-analysis of suicide prevalence across populations is epidemiology — regardless of whether outcomes are self-reported. Calling it “ideology” isn’t a methodological critique.
