@LaskarisDvini The rising tensions with Iran in the last few days & now this isn't a coincidence.

Apo getting official status before Kurds themselves do. 🫠

@PathOfMen_ Chest dips, Chin ups, Hill sprints, Split squats & Deadlifts are all you really need.

pushups and pull-ups built more physiques than most gym machines ever will. simple works.

@ooogatz @GreatBritishMC >>> taking joke tweets literally

@birdappmondo @GreatBritishMC Risk your freedom over a 5/10 thot? Seems like a good risk to reward /s

Kwengface’s ex-girlfriend went on a podcast to EXPOSE him for being into racism role-play in the bedroom 🤨

@PhoenixKukini @jaysabur @teddykingly @collinsworth55 Manute was likely in his 30s when he got drafted. He had experience playing in Sudan & in college in the US prior to getting drafted. The NFL guy hadn't stepped foot onto a field prior to the draft combine. That's a massive difference.

@jaysabur @teddykingly @collinsworth55 With no basketball background to speak of. It was because he was tall. And with only that year in the books he was drafted to the NBA. The point of all this is he was only given a sniff because of tall. He began playing at like 20 or 21 or even later.

When I say football isn’t a high skilled sport this is exactly what I mean. Dude has never played football before and got drafted. You have to be extremely athletic and strong but nobody is drafting someone in the NBA who has never played basketball before. Too much skill in 🏀

@xeon39 @RxpedByReality @Noir15662 Hulya Avsar is effectively a Greek-Kurd Mix tbh.

@RxpedByReality @Noir15662 Being anything>>> being a t*rk

I’m gonna delete all socials off my phone at this point. The doom scrolling rehab begins.

Damn my parents for immigrating to the west & giving me a healthier & wealthier life. I should’ve stayed & became a sweetcorn merchant.

@LaskarisDvini @FORTRESSMAXXING The gulf tho 👀

@FORTRESSMAXXING 90% of us don't claim this land, it's just a few schizos on here drawing maps that stretch to the Caspian, the Gulf and what not.

"Kurdistan" is basically just an alternate Iran. Just as Iran is a union of various Iranian/Iranic ethnic groups, so too is "Kurdish", a union of several Western Iranian groups that aren't even mutually intelligible. The fact Kurds constantly claim Azeris, Mazanis/Gilaks, most of Iran etc is proof of this. The Kurdish nationalist political project is entirely just creating an alternate Iran centered in Erbil instead of Tehran or Isfahan. This is why they'll constantly fail. It's like as if Morocco were to create some alternate Arabist project centered around Fez instead of Cairo or Damascus or something. And they'll claim most of the Arab world from Morocco to Baghdad, excluding some bits like Saudi Arabia. Entirely nonsensical.

@AriyanNewzad @hama_drnda For years I thought the best strategy was Basûr, Rojava then Rojhelat and finally Bakûr. I’ve come to the realisation that we need to cut the head off the snake as soon as possible.

it is striking how Kurds are so often subjected to an idealized checklist or xtreme risk analysis before anyone is willing to engage with them, yet a former al-qaeda leader can be welcomed almost immediately with a red carpet. much of this appears to stem from fear of political repercussions and diplomatic tensions with Turkey anyway

@aldersimi @asteraex Safavids themselves were originally more Sufi-like too. It was Lebanese & Bahraini scholars that influenced the twelverism which in turn likely made alevis more twelver as well.

‘Alevi beliefs and practices had existed in the region centuries prior’ the beliefs and practices was sufism and in the same ecosystem of other Anatolian Sufi-orders. The twelver was introduced with the Saffavids, and didn’t exist prior to that, Alevis never adopted the shia-theology, the adoption of anti-Sunni and twelver was a sociopolitical and sociocultural movement. Every time Ottoman Sultan summoned Alevi asiret-leaders they would always refer to their Abu-Wafa’i document, Ottoman sultans always respected Alevi-community not because of their twelver imamism or anti-Sunni takes, but because of their common sufi-ancestry. Questions?

I was wrong about the date. This record is actually dated according to the Gregorian calendar, meaning it comes from the year 1250. Many of these Kurdish tribes still exist today and remain Alevi. Some of them became Sunni. This is huge because it shows that Alevism in its actual form existed before the Safavids in Anatolia and had already spread among many Kurdish tribes as early as 1250. My theory is that my tribe (listed here as Atmalu) probably migrated from Iraqi Kurdistan to Southeast Anatolia through Sufi derwish movements. This is supported by a yDNA match with a Kurd from the Mizuri tribe in Erbil. So my ancestors were probably among the early Alevis who were followers of the Sufi Pir Ebu’l Vefa al Kurdi. That’s a huge finding.

@asteraex The Shia influence existed prior to Safavids anyway.

@birdappmondo Alevism is still very Sufi-pilled. The main goal is to become an Insan-i kamil in Alevism, the Shia stuff is mainly symbolic tbh.

@ktea613 They were lighter back then. No coincidence the best heavyweights today are usually in the 220-240lbs range. Lennox Lewis & Klitschko bros normalised these big 260+ lbs Boxers but very few of them match their speed & skillset. They're just big dumb brawlers now.

Heavyweights in the 70s were way more skilled than the guys today it's almost ridiculous

@asteraex idk if we can 100% confirm that tho. Safavid influence seems significant tbh.

@birdappmondo Yes, but it existed in its current form and was already widespread. Probably didn’t change much. We have nothing to do with Safavids beside the fact that we supported them against the Ottomans.

Major economic crash incoming

@KylewhiteNew Never seen a heavyweight that could throw combos as quick as him since maybe Dokes but he's much heavier than Dokes. That's what made him scary.

@birdappmondo Ability wise hes a good fight for many no doubt

I would put money on Fury, AJ and Wilder never holding a World Title Ever Again. Theres far 2 many out there who would wipe the floor with them. 🇬🇧🇺🇲🥊
