Tolerance Is an Ugly Word
"The people who talk about tolerance are the most intolerant people." — Osho

Putin: Insulting Prophet Muhammad is not freedom of expression
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said insulting Prophet Muhammad does not count as freedom of expression.
Insults to the prophet are a "violation of religious freedom and the violation of the sacred feelings of people who profess Islam,", Putin said on Thursday during his annual news conference, Russian News Agency TASS reported.

Other than the fact that “religious freedom” is yet another value championed by the West (nobody should have to “tolerate” or even accept religions that conflict with one’s own morals), what are your thoughts on this article?
-
Anyone should be allowed to insult anyone else. Anyone who feels insulted should also be allowed to challenge the insulter to a duel to the death. If the insulter declines the duel, the insulter must publicly cut off their own tongue (if the insult were spoken) or fingers (if the insult were written) or other body part as appropriate, with no anaesthetic.

Right now, elected sheriffs openly promote resistance to federal authority. Right now, militias train and arm themselves in preparation for the fall of the Republic. Right now, doctrines of a radical, unachievable, messianic freedom spread across the internet, on talk radio, on cable television, in the malls.
...
“If only more moderate Republicans were in office, if only bipartisanship could be restored to what it was.” Such hopes are not only reckless but irresponsible.
...
Two things are happening at the same time. Most of the American right have abandoned faith in government as such. Their politics is, increasingly, the politics of the gun.
...
The right is preparing for a breakdown of law and order, but they are also overtaking the forces of law and order. Hard right organization have now infiltrated so many police forces – the connections number in the hundreds – that they have become unreliable allies in the struggle against domestic terrorism.
Michael German, a former FBI agent who worked undercover against domestic terrorists during the 1990s, knows that the white power sympathies within police departments hamper domestic terrorism cases. “The 2015 FBI counter-terrorism guide instructs FBI agents, on white supremacist cases, to not put them on the terrorist watch list as agents normally would do,” he says. “Because the police could then look at the watchlist and determine that they are their friends.” The watchlists are among the most effective techniques of counter-terrorism, but the FBI cannot use them. The white supremacists in the United States are not a marginal force; they are inside its institutions.
Recent calls to reform or to defund the police have focused on officers’ implicit bias or policing techniques. The protesters are, in a sense, too hopeful. Activist white supremacists in positions of authority are the real threat to American order and security.
...
Just consider: in 2019, 36% of active duty soldiers claimed to have witnessed “white supremacist and racist ideologies in the military”, according to the Military Times.
...
What the American left needs now is allegiance, not allyship. It must abandon any imagined fantasies about the sanctity of governmental institutions that long ago gave up any claim to legitimacy. Stack the supreme court, end the filibuster, make Washington DC a state, and let the dogs howl, and now, before it is too late.
...
The right has recognized what the left has not: that the system is in collapse. The right has a plan: it involves violence and solidarity.
...
There will be those who say that warnings of a new civil war is alarmist. All I can say is that reality has outpaced even the most alarmist predictions.
As I always say, the only thing that can stop initiated violence is retaliatory violence. And the latter must be far more ruthless than the former.

Biden signs bill making lynching a federal hate crime
President Biden signed a bill that makes lynching a federal hate crime for the first time in American history. Congress finally passed the bill after it failed more than 200 times. Watch Mr. Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Michelle Duster, the great-granddaughter of journalist Ida B. Wells, give remarks at the Rose Garden after the bill signing.

'Can we just go set Marsha Blackburn on fire:' Nashville school board member caught on hot mic
...
A Nashville school board member is under scrutiny for provocative comments after a hot-mic moment at a meeting last week.
During a break in a March 22 meeting, board member Sharon Gentry was heard criticizing U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn — the district's own senator — over her questioning of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
"Can we just go set Marsha Blackburn on fire?" Gentry said as other board members praised Jackson.
...
Other members of the heavily Democratic Nashville board didn't appear to question Gentry's comments and the board meeting quickly resumed.
Blackburn (even her name suggests she should be set on fire!) previously covered here:

Left-Wing Group Targets Homes Of 6 Conservative SCOTUS Justices
...
“ANNOUNCING: Walk-by Wednesday, May 11, 2022! At the homes of the six extremist justices, three in Virginia and three in Maryland. If you’d like to join or lead a peaceful protest, let us know,” the website of “Ruth Sent Us” states.
“Our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights. We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics,” it adds.

Yes, but how strong are you when you oppose assault rifles even in Blue hands as O'Rourke does? I still want him to win, of course, but there remains a lot of ideological cleaning up to do afterwards before we are at the minimum required level of intolerance to defeat rightists permanently.

What our enemies are reminded of when Biden becomes even slightly less tolerant:

Similarly, Biden is also being compared to Lincoln by our enemies:
https://occidentaldissent.com/2022/09/05/brion-mcclanahan-dark-brandons-lincolnian-speech-against-maga/
So if Biden is viewed as both Hitler and Lincoln, at least this further reinforces what I was saying here:

BEIJING - Following last month's re-election of Xi Jinping as the leader of the Communist Party of China, online searches for ways to leave China exploded. On WeChat alone, more than 60 million people searched for information about leaving the country. A week later, with COVID-19 cases nationwide on the rise, the number rose to 80 million in one day.
This is the correct reaction: don't protest; just emigrate! (If only Iranians did the same!) This will over time lead to folkish sorting, as those who remain will be those most spontaneously comfortable with the government's policies.

EXACTLY!!!
In a truly sane and free world with open borders we would much faster be able to tell which folk truly belongs where, and why they belong there. Westerners have **** this process up beyond belief by allowing tribalists to have a say in the way nation-states should operate, mainly due to the fact that most westerners are ultimately tribalists themselves! Why would any sane person allow a tribalist to speak on nationalistic matters in the first place? ZION???

Freedom of movement would definitely help with that, but I think that even if that goal were somehow achieved on a global scale, petty attachments to local culture would prevent many people from emigrating. A significant amount of these protestors are probably attached to other aspects of Iranian culture enough that they wouldn’t wanna leave and would instead seek to change the government itself, even if emigration were made as easy as possible and there were countries that had their set of values. In short, you’re still gonna have huge swaths of people fighting over Iranian identity or Afghan identity or Chinese identity etc, because somehow, attachments to specific food and clothing and music and architecture are more important than actual values. So it’s not really as easy as “Just let them emigrate”, because I can guarantee that a significant amount of them don’t even want to
-
Yes, but the point is, so long as whole world knows they can leave whenever they want, all who then voluntarily choose to stay cannot thereafter credibly accuse the state of tyranny.
"would instead seek to change the government itself"
And they would be viewed as we view those who try to change the non-smoking section into another smoking section instead of taking the trouble to walk a few steps into the already-existing smoking section.

If we use this idea, we will cannot accuse our homeland which democratic as "tyranny". Seeing the whole world know that we can move to the another homeland which we prefer if we dislike our homeland. If we want non-democratic nations, we can go to Afghanistan, China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Singapore, Congo, Nigeria, Somalia, Zimbabwe, and others. And it's them who make us know who are the non-democratic nations which still remain today.
And, they will use our argument to attack us back even on parenting issues. They will say that if we don't like our parents's tyranny over us, we can simply move to another place or household, even though they not take accountability of our sufferings which created by their reproductive action. Which resulting feel of unending disillusion on us because we not got justice.

You still don't get it
I mean, we still have a chance to make our enemies realise that their political philosophy is wrong, if we explain to them with more rational arguments. That's the purpose of discussion, to make people aware and realize the truth. If we just ordering our opponents to emigrate or move out, then the discussion between us and them is no longer useful.
If we can more rationalize the reason that westernization, adult supremacy and racial discrimination are wrong, I'm sure they will change their worldview. I'm already did it with my oppressive parents with your arguments few years ago
Hitler already proved this. With his rational arguments, 90 percents of German people chosen and obeyed him without needed to emigrate

Your mission is to turn Australia into Nusantaran lebensraum. You can try to figure out if this can realistically be done through rational arguments alone. (Good luck with that.)

Again, we can imagine the right-wing version of this, and I haven't seen anything remotely similar to that on this website.
The claims from the NYT and others about "hate speech" are simply false. They are lying on purpose.

Empty threats serve no use if they are not followed through with. But then again, the subhuman "Nazi" in question allegedly lives in Russia, so that will be hard to do.

Anthony Hopkins celebrates 47 years of sobriety: 'I have found a life where no one bullies me'
Anthony Hopkins celebrated a big milestone on Thursday as marked 47 years of sobriety. The Oscar-winning actor reflected on his battle with alcoholism in an inspiring video message and urged people to seek help if they are struggling. Hopkins, who turns 85 on Saturday, said getting sober saved his life.
"I'm celebrating 47 years today of sobriety," the acclaimed actor began. "This is a message not meant to be heavy, but I hope helpful. I am a recovering alcoholic. And to you out there — I know there are people struggling. In this day and age of cancel and hatred and non-compromise, children being bullied, I say... Be kind to yourself. Be kind. Stay out of the circle of toxicity with people, if they offend you. Live your life. Be proud of your life..."
Entire article: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/anthony-hopkins-sobriety-alcoholism-birthday-message-172153972.html
Do not the adulterated bully children more than any other in this world?
But Sir Anthony, why compromise with bullies and why not cancel bullies once and forever so no other innocents need be turned into alcoholics because of bullies and their existence? What's if being a bully was in people's blood, expressed in varying degrees dependent on circumstance and environment?
Does 'turning the other cheek' really work to stop bullies in the long run?
Hopkins; The Man Who Still Isn't Hannibal Lecter
Not that he is complaining. ''Hannibal,'' the sequel to ''The Silence of the Lambs,'' appeared well on its way to hitting $100 million at the box office this weekend, and the Lecter character, with its cannibalistic menace, has clearly struck a powerful minor-key chord with the public. But Sir Anthony is, admittedly, undeniably, understandably, burnt out on talking about the movie, defending the movie, on answering for Hannibal Lecter altogether.
Entire article: https://www.nytimes.com/2001/02/18/style/a-night-out-with-sir-anthony-hopkins-the-man-who-still-isn-t-hannibal-lecter.html
If you're going to eat someone, is it not better to eat the guilty than the innocent? Who are the truly guilty in this world?
When will Hopkins finally redeem himself before the true and living and become Lecter in the flesh? :)
Lastly, I trust Hopkins understanding of what a bully is more than most other human-beings, although not at all near perfect understanding! Reminder:
''I'm almost a vegetarian. I don't like meat. I like a bit of fish. Fish and pasta.''
(https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/1uFzLhMGUq7rCVjR8YLdTQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2022-12/c0083f30-885f-11ed-befe-440a145828f1)
Hopkins would be better off going full vegan in regards to non-humans and eating human-beings whenever he gets the craving for fish, especially in the mind of the almighty! ;)
(I probably wouldn't need to drink as of late if I didn't see human-being flaws as easily as I do, especially the real bullying!).

https://www.yahoo.com/news/racist-ask-someone-heres-mixed-210246524.html
It’s a question seemingly every mixed-race person and person of color has been asked before: “What are you?” (Or more innocuously, “Where are you from?”)
Ph.D. student Ayumi Matsuda-Rivero hears the question so often, she has become relatively deft at knowing how to respond.
...
“If someone asks me ‘What are you?’ I respond with ‘I’m a person,’ because ‘what’ implies an object rather than a person, and too often mixed people are seen as ‘exotic’ collectibles.”
If someone asks, “Where you from?” Matsuda-Rivero will say the state of Virginia because that’s where she has spent most of her life.
...
The problem is, often it feels like someone is trying to point out the otherness of someone else. Then there’s the frequent persistence in their line of questioning: Some won’t let up until the person of color offers up some “non-U.S.” origin story.
“White people would never persist in these types of questions with other white people, so why do they ask people of color?” said William Ming Liu, a professor of counseling psychology and department chair at the University of Maryland. (His research interests are in social class and classism, men and masculinity, and white supremacy and privilege.)
“Many white people have [the model] of a white racial person in mind in general, so when someone varies from that, they’re already primed, cognitively, to see the nonwhite person as a foreigner or non-American,” Liu told HuffPost.
People of color are considered “outsiders, interlopers, foreigners to that specific space,” the professor said.
Given how loaded the question is, Liu isn’t sure if there’s a nonclumsy way to ask it.
“The broader question for white people asking this is, why? What is the need to know? To identify the person of color as the ‘other’ in this space?” he said.

How should you politely decline a guest from coming over when they cleverly invite themselves over to your place?
Sometimes politeness won't get the job done. Some people will ignore things that they don't want to hear, and polite words are brushed off. You tell them “no.” You do it bluntly if they continue to make plans for you.
“This is not a good time for me to have guests in my home. I will keep you in mind when I plan something in the future.”
Walk away if possible or end the phone call after saying your answer.
There are people who if you tell them that your home isn't tidy enough for guests currently or another excuse will barrel straight through it by saying that they don't mind. Tell them that you do mind and are not having any guests over because you have too much to do. If they persist, you might try placing them into an awkward spot by asking, “Why are you so determined to get inside my home when I clearly do not want to entertain you there?”
Ultimately, if a person insists on showing up uninvited at your home, you do not have to allow the person inside. If you are not entertaining anyone, you can leave them standing at the door knocking until they go away. You could wrap a towel around your hair and only open the door on the chain if they persist in ringing the bell and say, “Why are you here? I'm busy.” Regardless of the excuse they give, you say that you're busy and need to go. Say “Goodbye.” Close and lock the door.
If you have invited other people over and do not want this one person to join you, you may have to go from polite excuse to their level of rudeness to get rid of them.
You: “What are you doing here?”
Them: “I heard that you are having a party.”
You: “I did not invite you to come to my home, and I'm busy with my guests. You showing up uninvited is unacceptable and rude. I will say this clearly one last time. I do not want to entertain you today. Since you just showed up uninvited, there will be no future invitations from me either. I do not want you in my home. Go away and do not come back. If you bother me again, I will call the police to report you. Leave now.” (Go back inside to your guests. Close the door in their face and lock it.)
It becomes more difficult if you are having a large party where someone else might answer your door or the uninvited person may walk around to your backyard and start helping themselves to your food and drink. Tell a handful of friends in advance about the unwanted person so they can let you know if the uninvited person turns up. Perhaps designate a few people to answer the door in case you are elsewhere, and tell them to leave that person on the porch and come to find you if he shows up. Be firm and tell them to leave if they manage to get inside. Have your backup group and a phone ready if you suspect that the person will not leave quietly.

Liberal's think one should disassociate from ones emotions in order to be "normal". They want to keep people in a dissociative and relativist state in order to beat and exploit them without resistance.
In order to integrate into soulless western civilization one must give a piece of oneself to the state. One must sacrifice a piece of one's own flesh in order to be able to gain access to the faustian material excesses.

Hate to say it, but most won't "speak up to save a stranger", especially in the U.S.! In fact, I would go as far as to say that "home of the brave" should be stricken from the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. I get the sense that most human-beings these days are selfish opportunists who are absolutely scared shyteless of their own shadow!
You can even see it in the last few posts by Ascesis in the thread that Ascesis started, fear of the consequences for standing up for truth. Oooooohhhhh, the FEDS are going to shut us down because 90SRF is a "cat-torturing federal agent" and other such nonsense. Cowardly selfish morons!
Most human-beings are nothing more than SELFISH COWARDS!!! This is why Allah looses in the devil Yahweh's world more often than not! But, don't you know, they're all going to heaven! Yip, they'll all be sitting at Allah's side during the day of judgement! ;) ;D

Yes I've been thinking about this lately and come to the same conclusion. Western/Zionist civilization is also the most cowardly civilization. I always hated adults obsession with "safety" since I was a child. Ascesis was also trying to appeal to cowardice by advising us to be more secretive and reclude to the dark web.

https://newrepublic.com/article/174061/french-deny-racism-police-killing-nahel-merzouk
It's OK for denial to be "white"
Why the French Deny Their Own Racism
On Friday, a spokesperson for a union representing over half of all police officers issued a statement that they were “at war” against “vermin.” The interior minister has promised the police “unwavering support,” and French President Emmanuel Macron has blamed video games for protesters’ violent unrest.
Initially, the French media cited anonymous police sources claiming the young driver, Nahel Merzouk, was shot when he tried to plough into a group of officers. Bystander footage later revealed the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light and one of the officers was pointing a gun through the window of the driver’s side. As the car began pulling away, one of the policemen fired a shot directly at Merzouk
For those who live in the French suburbs, run-ins with heavily armed cops are not uncommon. To understand why, it is important to note that the word “suburb” in French does not suggest leafy communities of middle-class apartments in beautiful Haussmann buildings surrounded by cafés and restaurants. The banlieues, as they are known, are mostly assortments of block residential towers deliberately separated from commerce and public transportation. The neighborhoods suffer from high unemployment, low economic mobility, and social exclusion.
Police in the banlieues need no excuse to stop anyone on the street; a simple demand of “show me your papers” is enough. In 2021, six nongovernmental organizations filed a class action lawsuit against the French government claiming the police have engaged in widespread racial profiling. One of the victims in the report said he experienced racial profiling since he was 16, “sometimes up to three times a day” and that on one occasion a cop “put me violently up against the wall. One of the officers touches my private parts. Then he hits me in the stomach and calls me a ‘dirty Arab.’”
Although accounts of discrimination at the hands of the police are widespread, proving it is an entirely different matter. That is because the French government has explicitly outlawed keeping any statistics on race. This means ethnic minorities can claim mistreatment all they want, but without any statistical evidence their claims fall on deaf ears. It is, in effect, the national policy of France to pretend that racism doesn’t exist within its boundaries.
Reuters accumulated data that revealed French Muslims died at a higher rate from the virus than the overall population
The French government has no way of knowing if the children of French immigrants are falling behind those of native-born students and therefore has no way of targeting any reforms that might help them catch up.
It shouldn’t be controversial to say that France is a racist country. The country’s wealth was built on an imperial past that relied on the stolen labor of the enslaved and the colonized.
How Nahel Merzouk experienced his nationality in the banlieue is no less valid an experience than those of the children of French presidents attending lycée across the river in Neuilly sur Seine. The difference is that those children will have numerous opportunities that Merzouk never could have dreamed of. Acknowledging this lack of égalité would be a sign of national strength, not weakness.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-u-supreme-court-affirmative-100403851.html
As expected, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that affirmative action policies in universities are unconstitutional. Whatever the legal validity, this decision damages the pursuit of justice by eliminating policies that play a key role in addressing the harms of past wrongs.
Any defensible conception of justice requires actions that rectify the harms of past wrongs.
...
Affirmative action plays an essential role in overcoming systemic discrimination in American society. We say “systemic” because socioeconomic systems exhibit many feedback effects
...
We say systemic “discrimination” because previous generations’ disadvantage was induced by historical injustices, hence the disparities faced by Black children of the present day are not systemic and benign: They are systemic and unjust.
...
The failure of a society to implement policies that rectify the effects of past injustices is itself systemic discrimination.

Another argument against affirmative action is that it penalizes overrepresented students who are not guilty of the discriminatory acts that affirmative action is designed to address. This misunderstands the ethics of affirmative action. Affirmative action represents an acceptance of the moral burdens that define what it is to bethe inheritors of the history of the United States. It is not about individual guilt, but collective responsibility.

African American taxpayers contributed to Japanese American reparations despite not being responsible for the internment camps-in fact they were often denied the right to vote when internment occurred. These contributions of African American taxpayers are just by virtue of all Americans being shareholders of the country’s legacy.

I dislike the use of soyjak and Chad memes, because it feels too close to strawmanning. I’d rather just use people’s own words (and their own taste in men/women for the threads on human aesthetics) against them, instead of creating a caricature that deliberately talks in a whining tone. And soyjak and Chad memes also reinforce the idea that hypermasculinity is good
-
Chad does not necessarily have to mean hypermasculine (as mentioned in an another thread). Although I agree that the way the meme character ("Yes Chad" as he is known, originating from the Mediterranean/Nordic meme) is drawn ultimately does end up reinforcing it. However, I do support caricaturing our enemies, doesn't necessarily have to be with the Soyjak meme. I recall in another thread where our enemies tried to caricature Nordic dolichocephalics in a negative way, but ended up caricaturing themselves (Cro-Magnons) as subhuman. Giga L for them lol. Imagine the damage we could do if we were the ones making caricatures of them.
-
I was actually confused when you initially posted the above meme as to which side you were supporting. Being a Shia supporter myself, I hope for eventual definitive Shia victory over Sunni, not compromise, therefore Wahhabis who want a Sunni vs Shia conflict are actually more useful towards this objective. (Of course I do not want the Sunni vs Shia conflict to begin until after Western civilization is dead.)
"folkism"
When we talk about folkism in relation to religion, we mean unity between different (but qualitatively compatible) religions, not unity between (qualitatively incompatible) interpretations of the same nominal religion. We have always been against the latter, hence topics such as:
https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-right/right-left-(judeo-)christian-divergence/
https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/westernized-hedonist-'buddhism'-vs-real-buddhism/
There is only one correct interpretation of each religion.
"Imagine the damage we could do if we were the ones making caricatures of them."
You should make some and post them.
-
"(Of course I do not want the Sunni vs Shia conflict to begin until after Western civilization is dead.)"
This is why I supported the guy on the right (i.e. unite to defeat Israel).
"When we talk about folkism in relation to religion, we mean unity between different (but qualitatively compatible) religions, not unity between (qualitatively incompatible) interpretations of the same nominal religion. We have always been against the latter, hence topics such as:"
I was referring to folkism in relation to ethnicity, i.e. the folkist is the one who considers all those who adopt Arab culture/language as an Arab, in contrast to the Bedouin ethnotribalist.
-
Yes, but the Wahhabi's complaint is against Shias. The Chad doesn't address this. Even if we ignore the claim that Arabic-speaking Shias are ancestrally Persians, the Sunni vs Shia conflict remains unresolved. Therefore Arabs, some of whom are Sunni and others of whom are Shia, by definition cannot be a folk.
-
Ok. So Arab nationalism fails to address the Wahhabi's complaint. But is it at least useful in uniting people under a secular Arabic cultural umbrella (i.e. Baathism, Nasserism) instead of a theological one?
-
Then what about Jews who speak Arabic, share the culture and live in the Arab world?
-
Fair point, the Chad does indeed fail to address this.
-
However, I will note that Baathism/Nasserism and Pan-Arab nationalism has been anti-colonialist so it would be anti-Jewish as well, since Jews would be considered "White" and hence colonialists. But I do not know whether this would apply to "non-White" Jews such as the Mizrahim. Would you consider "non-White" Jews to be part of Western Civilization?

Israel-Gaza war: US House rejects effort to censure Rashida Tlaib
The US House of Representatives has rejected an effort to censure Palestinian American Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat who has been advocating for Palestinian rights amid Israel’s war on Gaza.
The measure, which was introduced by far-right Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, was halted in a 222 to 186 vote on Wednesday, with 23 Republicans joining the Democrats in opposing it.
A Democratic effort to in turn censure Greene was called off in response.
Tlaib, the only Palestinian American member of Congress, had rejected the measure as rooted in bigotry.
“I will not be bullied, I will not be dehumanised, and I will not be silenced,” she said last week. “I will continue to call for ceasefire [in Gaza], for the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid, for the release of hostages and those arbitrarily detained, and for every American to be brought home,” she said in a statement.
She also called Greene’s resolution “unhinged” and said it’s “deeply Islamophobic and attacks peaceful Jewish anti-war advocates.”
Greene has not commented on the resolution to censure her but criticised the dozens of Republicans who voted against moving the Tlaib measure forward.
Tlaib also stressed that the collective punishment of Palestinians is a war crime. “See what’s happening. Don’t turn away. All they need to do is see Palestinians as human to see again that these are war crimes,” she said.

A Democratic effort to in turn censure Greene was called off in response.
Bad move. Just because some Reds helped to prevent censure of Tlaib, who doesn't deserve to be censured in the first place, does not mean Blues should reciprocate by not censuring Greene, who really does deserve to be censured (actually she deserves to be removed from office and executed for her participation in the Red Coup alone).
This is like agreeing to a meat-eater's offer to stop criticizing you for being vegan if you stop criticizing them for being non-vegan! Ceasing ethically justified criticism in exchange for the other side ceasing ethically unjustified criticism is a victory for the unethical side.

Can Muslim leaders ever take action instead of saying “oooo they’re really testing our patience next time is the last straw I swear” over and over again
Muslim countries should help Palestine with medicines,food,water,clothing etc. but they choose to remain ignorant.Praying to Allah for the peace and happiness of Palestine. 💔🇵🇸
Shame on arab leaders
all of them talk.. But Lebanon, and Yemen and Iraq are doing whatever little they can.. Although it's not much, but they are helping.. Yemen is 2000 kilometers away.. Imagine that. Yet they are trying their best with whatever little they have...
But the rest are just full of talk..
Couple days ago Egypt 🇪🇬 sent a truck of water to Gaza and Israel 🇮🇱 blew it up.
Action speaks louder than words
We want concrete action against occupation, not speech.
It's time to take action, it's already too late to only condemn ongoing genocide...
We muslims are to blame for this.We have turned away from the Quran and the Sunnah and have followed the footsteps of the west. We have normalized major sin in our societies and adapted western ideologies. How can we expect glory?
They've already crossed all the limits. Action must be taken asap.
Stop condemning without actions!
Our patience is also at the end from hearing your empty words

Now is the time for action not words. Jihad is imposed on all Muslims, now is the time for all out Jihad.

French opposition leader on Israel: ‘We must stop funding a state that refuses to listen to us’
“There’s no reason to continue providing financial support to a country that refuses to listen to us and persists in the Gaza massacre. We bear responsibility for the lives lost in Gaza,” stated French opposition leader Jean Mélenchon during his participation in the “Do Better!” conference in Paris on November 20, at the La Boétie Institute.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1Ch3cIN2Os
Jean-Luc Antoine Pierre Mélenchon (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ lyk ɑ̃twan pjɛʁ melɑ̃ʃɔ̃] ⓘ; born 19 August 1951) is a French politician who was a member of the National Assembly for the 4th constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône from 2017 to 2022. He led the La France Insoumise group in the National Assembly from 2017 to 2021. Mélenchon has run three times in elections for president of France; in 2012 and 2017, and a strong third in the 2022 election, where he narrowly missed continuing on to the second round in France's two-round voting system.
After joining the Socialist Party in 1976, he was successively elected a municipal councillor of Massy (1983) and general councillor of Essonne (1985). In 1986, he entered the Senate, to which he was reelected in 1995 and 2004.[1] He also served as Minister for Vocational Education between 2000 and 2002, under Minister of National Education Jack Lang, in the cohabitation government of Lionel Jospin. He was part of the radical-left wing of the Socialist Party until the Reims Congress of November 2008, when he left the party to found the Left Party with Marc Dolez, a member of the National Assembly.[2][3] Mélenchon first served as party president before becoming party co-president alongside Martine Billard, a position he held until 2014.[4] As co-president of the Left Party, he joined the electoral coalition of the Left Front before the 2009 European Parliament election; he was elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in the South-West France constituency and reelected in 2014. He became the Left Front's candidate in the 2012 presidential election, in which he came in fourth, receiving 11.1% of the first-round vote.
Mélenchon founded the party La France Insoumise (LFI, "France Unbowed") in February 2016. He stood as a candidate in the 2017 presidential election "outside the frame of political parties", again coming in fourth, with 19.6% of the first-round vote. He became a member of the National Assembly for La France Insoumise following the 2017 legislative election, receiving 59.9% in the second round in Bouches-du-Rhône's 4th constituency, located in Marseille (France's second-largest city).[5] Mélenchon stood again under the LFI banner in the 2022 presidential election, coming in third with 21.95% of the vote, just over one point short of qualifying for the second round.[6] After this, he led the newly-formed New Ecological and Social People's Union (NUPES) alliance of parties to a second-place performance in the 2022 French legislative election.

Think about it. Not in millions of years.
And we made it work, for over 150 years or so. 70 before independence, and 70 after.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/hitting-trumps-pockets-only-first-110006467.html
The unfortunate reality is that Friday’s 355-million-dollar judgment against Donald Trump (and the E. Jean Carroll verdict for more than 80 million dollars before that), as well as his still upcoming criminal and civil trials will only serve to fuel his followers’ fantasies of persecution – which means they will further embrace even more political violence, terrorism, and thuggery as necessary means of self-preservation.
On Friday, a certain cable news networks was broadcasting the equivalent of a block party (or as my mother would say, “it was like Christmas in July!”) in how it covered Judge Engoran’s decision against Trump. I found this network’s celebratory and breathless tone to be troubling, as it was representative of a much larger pattern of premature exuberance among the professional centrists, institutionalists, and too many liberals and assorted hope peddlers who have long proclaimed that “the walls have been closing in” on Trump. Recall the embarrassment of “It’s Mueller Time!”? And "We have Trump's tax returns!" Yet, Donald Trump is still walking free, controlling the Republican Party, leading or tied with Biden in the polls, and all the while escalating his threats of violence
...
There is rich white man’s justice in America and there is justice for everyone else.
...
And if you think Trump at least faced the music in his New York civil fraud case with Justice Arthur Engoron’s ruling ordering Trump to pay $355 million in penalties, think again. The case is far from over. Trump will stall the case, diddle the docket, drag out the appeal, appeal from the appeals court, and, if he becomes cornered resort to another trick he has considerable experience with—he will declare bankruptcy.
It doesn’t have to be this way, but deeply engrained formalism in court plays right into Trump’s hands. When in doubt, judges delay. When there is a claim, however frivolous and intentionally dilatory, it must receive the same slow service as every other claim at the courthouse window. While the idea of due process is the constitutional promise of a meaningful hearing at a meaningful time, too many judges prefer the appearance of fairness that long delays promise but don’t deliver. Too many times, justice delayed is justice denied, but judges in our contemporary system simply aren’t set up to do it any other way, and Trump and other courthouse cognoscenti know how to exploit it.
...
The announcement today that the trial of Donald Trump for paying hush money to Stormy Daniels will begin on March 25th means that the only Trump trial that actually matters—the one in which he’s been charged for inciting the January 6th insurrection to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election—cannot begin until late spring at the earliest.
...
As Trump campaigns for a second term, his personal finances are becoming increasingly relevant, especially now that he has to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in damages from the two civil lawsuits.
And with his criminal cases still looming, things could get even worse for him. His debt “makes him prime for corruption and really exploiting his office for his own personal gain,” Canter said.
...
pathocrats want us to surrender to learned helplessness and be in awe of their power. We must not surrender to it.
...
Ultimately, Donald Trump is not the problem; he is a symbol of much larger forces and problems in American society and life. 400-million-dollar plus judgments, prison sentences, and/or elections will not solve those deep cultural and institutional problems. They can, however, be a start —if we the Americans are willing to do the hard work that comes afterwards.
The hard work that comes afterwards involves physically exterminating all 75 million 2020 Trump voters. There is no other way to end MAGA.
