It’s funny because Asia is a Greek/Eurocentric term, and the Middle East is an Anglo/Eurocentric term.
This entire etymology debate is boring, nobody cares. Most people in the Middle East gladly say Middle East.

"stop using [mispronounced endonym] that's a colonial term! Decolonize and use [foreign exonym] or [foreign exonym] instead!"

Indonesian "decolonial" laws (UU No 1 2023) that replace Dutch penal laws might include penalties for:
- Insult of government officials & institutions
- Demonstration without notifying authorities
- Sexual relations or "Living together as husband & wife" outside marriage

Kakababu's Exile in England 🇵🇸🍁@ShinMarginalScr
India started doing this (renaming everything in Hindi while at it) and coming up with versions of existing laws far more evil than peak British laws lol.

@Katauroraaa Two things can be true at the same time: Jolani's regime has allowed pogroms against minorities (the Druze and Alawites), and the conditions there have improved quite a bit compared to the Assad era, largely because of the lifting of US sanctions

@souljagoyteller Do they know that the country with the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside of Israel is Iran? (I’m not saying there is no discrimination against Jewish people in Iran but the conditions there are miles better than in some other countries in the region)

@FalkTG Without socialism, there wouldn’t be socialized healthcare, food stamps, or even basic workers’ rights like the eight-hour workday, and child labor would still be rampant. The lesson from history is that mixed economies works, while free-market fundamentalism has failed

Socialism is a bad thing and we shouldn’t celebrate 1st of May

Oh dear, the curse of The Economist's oil cover:
"... Why oil prices are not yet high enough..."
You know what that means, don't you?

In 2014, Jakarta was crowned the most congested city in the world. Ten years later, it was only the 24th most congested - despite *adding* ten million new residents. How? Transit, of course.

It was "No taxation without representation."
Not "No taxes ever lol"

@lavish_lerven @History__Speaks The US and its idiotic foreign policy class should stop intervening in developing countries first. When that happens, the US will be more respected and less loathed around the world
English
@History__Speaks as opposed to 🇵🇸🇷🇺 which totally isn't "western man bad" brainrot that hurts the Palestinian cause (which, if we're being honest, is the position 99.9999% of twitter pro-palestine people have)
English
And 37 Azeris have died fighting for Ukraine. en.axar.az/news/society/1… Stupid point that has no bearing on Israel or Azerbaijan as states.
The 🇮🇱🇺🇦 combo is “western man good” brainless chauvinism that hurts the Ukrainian cause. Israel is a country that has effectively legalised mob ethnic violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, has kept the WB population stateless and under martial law for 59 years, and committed a genocide in Gaza.
Kraut@The_Davos_Man
14 Israelis have been killed fighting as volunteers for the Ukrainian armed forces against the Russian invaders in Ukraine.
English
@lavish_lerven @History__Speaks You're acting like the US isn't the dominant hegemon right now. Russia and China have nowhere near the influence the US has in the world. When you're that powerful, people expect more accountability from the US, especially when it has led the world into wars and destructions

I may stand corrected, but after looking around it doesn’t seem like any other country in the world has its current leader’s picture in citizens’ passports, not even North Korea.

It's obvious that pulling out of the Iran Deal was a catastrophic decision by Trump. Yet that decision got far less media and political scrutiny than the Deal itself.

Pulling out of the Iran nuclear was a catastrophic mistake.
