@dinosaur_store @dnky2th @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman Yeah I don't expect to, hoping ordinary readers can learn something from this.
English

@NathanielTheBal @dnky2th @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman You're not gonna get through to him, he's a nazi
English

@dnky2th @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman That 10% were actively following an extremist form of an ideology which led many members to commit those acts. There's no equivalence because there is no large sub-ideology of US Leftism (whatever that is) which advocates for direct acts of terrorism against civilians.
English

@NathanielTheBal @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman But it’s not like 10% of Uyghurs stabbed anyone, so it is exactly equivalent.
English

@dnky2th @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman False equivalence. If 10% of US leftists were committing mass stabbings and suicide bombings, and they could accurately identify the followers of that form of extremist ideology, then yeah sure. If 10% of US conservatives support Nazism, I'd support their reeducation too.
English

@NathanielTheBal @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman So if Trump decided today that all 10% of US leftists should be imprisoned and reeducated you’d be okay with that?
English

@dnky2th @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman And over eleven million Uyghurs in Xinjiang, so my statement is accurate
English

@dnky2th @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman The overwhelming majority of Uyghurs were not in camps, only those endorsing Islamic extremism. Wahhabism isn't the only form of militant Islam.
English

@NathanielTheBal @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman And yet China is “reeducating” the Uyghurs, who are largely not Wahhabist.
English

@dnky2th @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman Al Qaeda follows an extremist form of Wahhabism. Re-educating extremists forms of Wahhabism is preferable to bombing them, especially when there is massive civilian causalities as a result
English

@NathanielTheBal @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman The US went to war with Al Qaeda, not Wahhabism. If we did, we would’ve invaded Saudi Arabia. So no, you are completely and objectively wrong.
English

@dnky2th @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman And their ideology did not cause them to do 9/11?
The ideology being persecuted here is a Wahhabist extremism, not Islam in general.
English

@NathanielTheBal @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman Jesus fucking christ dude. Be honest with yourself. Obviously the US bombed Al Qaeda because the openly admitted to 9/11.
Re-education of an entire religious group is not a response to a tiny fraction of them doing terrorism. Re-education is a direct attack on thought.
English

@dnky2th @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman Transitively yes. Their ideology led to acts of terrorism which is why the US bombed them.
In China, Wahhabi terrorists killed thousands of people in stabbing sprees in the course of a few years before they started re-education camps. They weren't persecuting a thought crime.
English

@NathanielTheBal @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman Did the US bomb Al Qaeda because of their ideology?
English

@dnky2th @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman The US bombed/killed Al Qaeda fighters for 20 years in Afghanistan
English

@NathanielTheBal @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman Which Wahhabi extremists are “bombed to death by the US”?
English

@dnky2th @dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman Wahhabi extremists are simply bombed to death by the US. They're forcibly reeducated in China and reintegrated into society afterwards. Which outcome is better for them?
Don't hide behind generalities or polemics. Engage with the comparative treatment of Wahhabi extremists.
English

@dinosaur_store @MRIRISH1287 @ZeBolshevikman I declare that anyone who likes communism should be forcibly reeducated.
You think thats a good idea?

@LCConTwT1 @ygzgzot An indentured servant “consents” in much the same way: there is no alternative arrangement which allows them any modicum of security.
The alternative is a strong public sector which priorities the interests of consumers and workers, cutting out the parasitic investor class
English

@LCConTwT1 @ygzgzot The “consent” is a choice between limited options. I can’t choose to work for a state-owned company that operates at cost which would maximize workers income. I can’t choose to work for a company where private ownership is shared beyond a weak co-op structure.
English

“The worker only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself. He feels at home when he is not working, and when he is working he does not feel at home. His labour is therefore not voluntary, but coerced; it is forced labour.”—Karl Marx

Now we can clearly see the strategy of China sitting back and waiting patiently for the US to destroy itself. China is going to transform the world without firing a single shot

This is what China has been sitting back and waiting for— America's imperial hubris shooting itself in the foot.
International oil is almost exclusively traded in American dollars; it is what forms the fundamental basis for the US' dollar supremacy.
That will end with the death of the petro-dollar; as the single most pivotal global petroleum transportation choke point is blocked off and holding the world at ransom by bartering that if you want your oil, you have to play by their rules— which will drive the dollar down irreparably.
In order to understand much of the current quagmire with Iran; the importance of oil in the region itself and America's relationship with Israel, we have to go back to 1973.
In 1973, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia cut off all oil supply to the US and other western countries for supporting Israel during the Yom Kippur War.
The United States for the first time played an integral role in arming Israel against the growing socialist aligned, pan-Arab bloc of Egypt and Syria; who had sought to dismantle the fledgling zionist entity for once and for all.
The US saw this as an opportunity to not only deter soviet influence in the region as seen with the likes of Nasser and his vision of a unified Arab world, but consolidating its own position in the region (and globally) through monopolizing oil— by tying it, and backing it, through the dollar.
This bold stance caused mass panic and chaos as it impacted Western states severely; so much so that the UK had to switch to a three day work week to ensure their economic survival.
However, in 1974, Henry Kissinger negotiated an end to the crisis with King Faisal by creating the Petrodollar.
It stipulated that for the Gulf oil producers, in exchange for selling oil exclusively in US dollars (as Nixon removed the gold standard in 1971)— Saudi Arabia and the others, would receive military protection from the United States, against Israel.
That logic of Israel being a legitimate threat was manufactured primarily to convince the Arab states to enter into this agreement; eventually used to also allow the US to build bases in their territories too.
Ignoring the fact that as a unified front, the Arab states would have had nothing to fear of Israel. It had only been because of considerable American assistance that Israel had been able to deter and neutralize Nasser's attack.
The Arab states were subsequently pitted against each other therein, as opposed to collectively focusing on confronting the zionist entity, as previously.
This master stroke from Kissinger resulted in Saudi Arabia becoming solely bound to upholding the interests of American imperialism and corporations (and of Israel by extension). King Faisal was assassinated in 1975.
America's support for Israel's settler colonial project became more unequivocal when the dollar became backed by Saudi oil (and vice versa); as America required a outpost/ mechanism in the region and a foothold into Asia through which it could always consolidate its interests and monopoly over resources.
The fundamental crux of global American hegemony; the monetary supremacy it enjoys, that allows for it to consolidate resources/capital and operate this imperialist apparatus, begins and ends with the strength of the US dollar as the global reserve currency.
And why does it enjoy this status? Because it is what the most essential and important resource (oil) on the planet is traded in. The commodity that flows through every facet of every market; that the global economy relies on the most. That is the primary source of America's dominance today; of its total, unrestrained and raw power.
So now you understand why Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz; why its vying for oil going through to be traded in the Yuan and why it has been so adamant to target America's Gulf assets in the region.
It's all interconnected and interdependent; and the only effective way to nullify and dismantle American-Zionist regional hegemony.

@KraljevPeter @TheSience @themostazezo "you only have empathy for perpetrators not their victims." Strawman
English

"a dead pedophile can't reoffend." Your strategy is to deny help to people until they finally rape a child. that's IF someone reported them, bc the death penalty decrease reporting.
Congratulations you've just made raping children legal.
