@FreedmFightr1 No.

Is it bad to want the housing market to crash?

@dlk52186420 @DrewPavlou @DouglasKMurray This time she will help to do it "right" LOL. Supporters of Trotsky fled USSR and then spent their lives promoting communism in the West. It seems it's an incurable mental disorder.

@DrewPavlou @DouglasKMurray if her parents fled communism, why is she supporting it?

Labor minister Tanya Plibersek attacks the idea that there can be good migrants and bad migrants I noticed that she has a copy of @DouglasKMurray’s “THE STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE” right behind her on her bookshelf. Maybe she should read it??

@THEPhilPacker @Freddygray31 FFS shut up you clown.

@Freddygray31 stop it Freddy. The Muslims invented math. Before Islam, not a single civilization on Earth was numerate.

Thrilling that this is The Times’s Economics Editor, but what she says is ridiculous Islamic civilisational boosterism. Islam did not invent free trade or ‘re-introduce’ coinage to Europe. Coins as a method of exchange were used widely in European civilisations before, during, and after the Roman Empire (by the Franks, the Saxons, and the Visigoths, for instance). And the dirham was silver — not gold, and certainly not gold-backed.

@YossiBenYakar And here in Australia our most prominent female muslim member of parliament has started a party called "Australias Voice".

x.com/YossiBenYakar/… WATCH: A Muslim woman on Turkish TV proudly explains that after “learning true Islam,” she stopped speaking. She says a woman’s voice is “awrah” (private part) and that even humming or making any sound could offend Allah. This is the ideology being openly promoted and normalized in the Muslim world. A woman reduced to complete silence because her voice itself is considered sinful. How is this compatible with freedom? How is this compatible with basic human dignity?

@JayinKyiv You should read the novel. It's quite good and not pro Putin at all.

Even as Russia itself implodes, Russian money continues to fund propaganda nonsense to whitewash them to western audiences, with Hollywood's most successful actors clamoring for Russian blood money. I didn't know that Jude Law and Paul Dano were so hard up for cash. Honestly, I cant tell u how many times I've been offered large amounts of cash to help the bad guys in social media operations, but there's simply no amount of money that would get me there. And these guys..Just shameful.

@CAMOKAT6 @DrewPavlou The skin colour racism in India is huge.

@DrewPavlou I'm astounded that SBS would talk about a form of discrimination they can't blame on white Aussies. Do noble browns *really* practice what is essentially a type of racism? Surely not!

SBS News: Caste discrimination and the practice of ''untouchability'' are on the rise in Australia. Very cool and normal

@DrewPavlou He's got a very unfortunate last name.

@LeeRespecter You'd be amazed at how many impostors are out there, claiming to have been in SAS when they were really just a cook or menial grunt in the armed forces.

Radical leftist doesn’t understand selection bias. If this was even slightly true it would only be because the type of veteran who would say this to Patrick is the type of veteran who would hang out with Patrick. A leftist veteran saying this is like Gary’s Economics claiming to have been the top trader in the UK making millions at the CitiBank trading desk by “betting on inequality rising”. They get to create this narrative arc for themselves that fits their newly adopted ideology. But of course it’s not at all likely to be true. Less than 20% of Defence Force roles are combat roles and that includes pilots and artillery. Of that it’s only special forces that would have engaged in combat at a tempo and volume where a subset of them would even had the opportunity and I don’t think many SAS are hanging out with Patrick telling him about their waking nightmares.

@DrewPavlou He means so many NGO's will lose their funding.

I didn’t even register that Ryan Grim was trying to draw an analogy between Soviet collapse and Iran regime collapse - I thought he was just doing that thing where commies look at you like this while complaining about losing the Cold War

@robkhenderson You have to sit there with a straight face when they go on about their "struggle for justice", otherwise you'll be seen as a crazy reactionary fascist. I hate it.

Unlike fascists, communists don’t need to dog-whistle; their ideas remain publicly acceptable even after the many historical atrocities committed under the banner of "liberation."

@HonTonyAbbott Poland did the same without being an ally to Russia. And their economy is way stronger too.

Viktor Orbán has been a very consequential PM - probably the most consequential Hungary has ever had. The economy has strengthened, the city of Budapest has been transformed, and Hungary’s family policies and determination to keep its culture have been studied around the world. He and I differed on Ukraine but I thought he was dead right to defy the EU, on illegal immigration especially. Why should a sovereign nation be bullied by Brussels into policies that would jeopardise its future as a distinct people? Under Orbán, Budapest became something of a haven for conservative intellectuals. This has been a significant point of soft power for Hungary and I don’t expect the new government will want that to change.

@Ostrov_A She was all for Russia bombing the so called "Nazis" in Ukraine.

"The only sensible thing for the world to do is to back Iran", says Australian journalist and commentator Mary Kostakidis. Oh, and she also calls for China and Russia to "intervene." Store this one in the vault ...

@tomacone @MagneticNorse 100% of the highbrow ones.

@MagneticNorse Absurd. At least 1/3 of all English words are borrowed from French. Well known fact among linguists.

Werner Herzog on language and his refusal to speak French

@rashidi53723817 @MagneticNorse @Rothmus Try Danish.

@MagneticNorse @Rothmus 82 in french is quatre-vingt-deux Which means “four twenties and two” 😣

@shockadelicaust @MagneticNorse Unlike English they stick to their rules.

@MagneticNorse I can't stand French Words and names never sound the way they're spelt Weird pronunciations and silent letters😡 With Italian, everything sounds EXACTLY the way it's spelt 😍 How did these 2 languages both evolve from the same origin (Latin)?

@DailyBanterMeme @MagneticNorse Spoken French is so much easier than written French though.

@MagneticNorse It's an overly complicated language, the amount of different ways you can conjugate a verb is ridiculous and most of them are never used. 🤦‍♂️

@DailyBanterMeme @MagneticNorse English phonetics anyone?

@DailyBanterMeme @MagneticNorse German adjectives anyone?

@DrewPavlou Seven years in Oz. My (non jewish) daughter was called "Jew" once. Someone made a snide remark about New Zealand avocados. Some anti American comments. That's the only racism I've encountered.

This is so stupid.

@karayuki_san_ @TheBigTSOGL Wow, Lenin was not a Marxist. Interesting.

@TheBigTSOGL @TheBigTSOGL Karl Marx was a Russophobe who repeatedly advocated for destruction of Russia (not turning Russia into communist, but destroying it)by supporting Polish, Ukrainian & North Caucasian independence. marxists.architexturez.net/archive/marx/w… marxists.architexturez.net/archive/marx/w… opendemocracy.net/en/odr/crimes-…
