@xebecjoyboydni @rirokpik Yeah for the sake of clarity. But there are swathes of people in the American interior whose ancestors from Britain are 4 centuries deep, identify simply as 'American' and know of no other ethnic self-identity.

@Ieanettes @wolmanj The ethnic Danes predate the modern state. You used to be one with the other Nordics, the Kalmar Union, and now you don't.
English
@wolmanj What? No. Denmark is not defined as a state of a specific ethnicity.
It refers to “the Danish people,” but in practice that means citizens, not an ethnic group - i.e. a civic nation, not an ethnic one.
English
Kazakhstan. Kyrgyzstan. Uzbekistan. Turkmenistan. Tajikistan. Afghanistan. Finland. Ireland. Scotland. England. Poland. Thailand. Vietnam. Denmark.
To name a few.

@GSVBemusementPk Can you name another country that explicitly defines itself as the state of a specific ethnicity?

Also, a bit rich coming from the country that made movies like Red Dawn. But unlike US mainland invasion by North Korea (LOL!) the Iran-Iraq war was real, defensive and existential.

People say this and like yeah obviously that’s evil and all, but I really don’t want to have to fight the guys who will send their children to clear minefields. I don’t think I want to fight that guy.
whoareyou@namihwon
The IRGC will force their own children to clear minefields by running through them. All because they don’t want to lose a tank. (They already did this) That is the evil no one in the West wants to call out. IRGC are the modern version of the SS in Nazi Germany. The solution to the evil of the IRGC is full-on regime change. But that’s up to empowering the Iranian people and weakening the IRGC. Whether that happens … who knows.

@robertofcanada @Anonymous199959 A behavior that doesn't come naturally but incentivized by the liberal state who view the white majority (indigenous or colonial, alike) as a threat (because it is disproportionately follows the interests of "the king of Albania").

@MathetesO12632 @Anonymous199959 No I was going to say using terms like “White man” to refer to the enemy of the Muslims as opposed to the Epstein class or the powers that be.
If they said the Japanese man on their YouTube channel they would get a shuriken thrown at them.
English
If many Muslims in the West tried 1/100 of the tactics they do here in Japan, they would be chased out with Katanas.
The only way Islam can survive in Japan is if the converts run the whole show. Imams, heads of organizations, schools, restaurants, from the top down.

ムスリムは日本人には絶対的に相性が悪いよ。 アッラーが唯一神と考えるイスラム教 目に映るもの全てに善悪問わず神が宿るという神道や多数の神に相当する存在がいる日本に根付いた仏教を有する日本。 特にムスリムは自分達に合わせろと要求してくる。 その強制は日本人にとっては忌み嫌うもの。

@Anonymous199959 @robertofcanada Sharpening antagonisms and then run to the liberal state/establishment/activists for legal protection/sympathy when the gammons riot.
English
@robertofcanada And a misunderstanding of the pre-modern caliphate or polities in general. An unironic cause of the Arab Revolt (and thus breakup of the Ottoman Empire) was the centralization effort of the Tanzimat. Modern countries with imperial sizes usually brutally destroyed local customs.
English
Putting aside what Colonial powers did to the Muslim world, the right-sided photo pre-Isa (alayhis salam) would be disastrous just from a management standpoint.
We can’t even run an umbrella mosque in the West without it turning into a brawl in the lobby after a few weeks.

@ParishStoner @RogueScholarPr For Shias 'taqiyya' means conceiling specific doctrinal differences that could get them killed/persecuted. But taqiyya according to the GWOT Islamophobic culture war sense was only really done by truly fringe micro-sects like the Alawites that believe in wild doctrines.
English
Taqqiyah is a hella sick ethnic gaslighting accomplishment if the sand people aren't lying about it being a jewish invention. The sunnis told me it was a Shia thing, the Shias told me I'm retarded it isnt real, that would be a real exercise of global control through narrative alone if it were true.
Problem with an ethic like that is an outside can literally never know if its true lol
English
Judaism and Islam both allow lying to outsiders, while Christianity produces people like Kant who argue that it’s immoral to lie to a murderer about where his intended victim is hiding. Hard not to see that as a weakness
English
@KingJalius @AcademicAgent_X @KingJalius Islamophobia is basically "allowable bigotry" to redirect native anger away from the elites for their own purposes but not to the extent of destabilizing inter-communal violence (cf. the quick putdown of the Southport riot).

British and American Muslims will suffer Serbian level genocide and ethnic cleansing but will never leave the West.I will debate this topic with anyone.
Muhammad Ali@Thecolistin
This propaganda will seep through the white UK and is already gripping the younger gens. No one is paying attention to this. Mark my words UK will be a full hostile place for muslims in max 5 years time.
English
@KingJalius @AcademicAgent_X Because it's not in the elite interest (neither is genocide of Muslims, btw, only anti-Islam bigotry hence simultaneous sponsorship of TR and his numerous jailtime). As long as neoliberal capitalism is the vehicle of the elite, mass immigration will continue on.
English
@DomTechnostate "Tail does not wag the dog" assumes the "tail" isn't actually an extension of the brain to which the rest of the dog's anatomy is in service. Communists misread this because of who their founding theorist is. Especially embarrassing since it was the USSR who helped early Israel.
English
Without giving any legitimacy to arguments about anti-semitism, it does appear like a "socialism of fools" adjacent thing is going on here. Don't let Amerika wipe its hands.
English
Its not lost on me that pro-Palestine sentiment has become more palatable as the decolonial and anti-imperialist aspect of it has dwindled in favor of social democratic compatible phrasemongering about taxes and "foreign influence"

@falconofturk Those great-grandfathers emulated Islamicate high culture. The great grandkids learn street/gang slangs from downmarket immigrants and refugees. They are not the same.
English
Meanwhile their great grandfathers under Kaiser Wilhelm II. were aura farming from muslims in Arab dress and Turkish uniform and even converted to Islam like in the case of German officer Wilhelm Hintersatz.
Lennart🇩🇪@lennartprimal
German boys using Arab slang and trying not to talk like a German but like an Arab are a disgrace. Their great grandfathers would turn in their graves.

Russian ethnopluralism is based on the intrinsic cultural and national relativism found in the Russian idea, based on the notion of brotherly love. It is antithetical to the inverted cultural relativism found in the West’s multiculturalism — which is a corrosive force.

@Authw8 Science is the marriage of craftsmanship with philosophy. It's not the same type of thing as religion. If anything, it's the same type of thing as magic.
English
thesis: science is the opposite of religion
antithesis: science is just the religion of modernity
synthesis: science is the same type of thing as a religion in terms of how it fits into a human brain. but unlike other religious traditions, the scientific community has developed ritual practices that cause their religious beliefs to systematically come closer and closer to corresponding with the actual structure of reality (with occasional error modes)

@Rogue0572 Then why is the Dome of the Rock there with no issues? By ur own logic God must support Islam now lol
English
When Emperor Julian (the Apostate) had an anti-Christian meltdown, he attempted to rebuild the Jerusalem Temple for the Jews in order to discredit Christianity.
As work began to clear the ruins of the former temple, a terrible earthquake struck, killing several people and setting the project back.
When the workers resumed construction, a mysterious fire burst forth from the ruins, burning several workers to death. The project was eventually abandoned.
This event is corroborated by Jewish, Christian, and pagan sources.
The irony is that those who survived the “holy fire” converted to Christianity on the spot. It was total humiliation for the Jews and pagans.
In short, Julian attempted to “bless Israel,” and God said, “Nope.” Instead, Julian was ran through by a Persian spear.

@Rogue0572 @DrScienceBae One of the Holidays is literally The Holiday of Sacrifice, concurrent with the Hajj.

@DrScienceBae Muslims don't offer sacrifices. The Dome of the Rock isn't a temple.

@Sain4847 Her conception of "ethno-religion" only makes sense in the backdrop of low-church Protestantism and globalized American pop culture; neither of which are culturally deep.
English
Setting aside that "ethnoreligions" are usually produced developments under modernity (identification, codification, etc.), most "ethnoreligions" are small, geographically-bound sects, with tight restrictions on outreach+conversion. Literally the opposite of Catholicism or Islam
Lydia Kauppi@lydiakauppi
This is why I argue Catholicism is an ethnoreligion like Judaism and Islam. If you were born Catholic, you’re never not Catholic even if you’re not Catholic
