The reality is that quite a bit of islamic attitudes and culture don‘t fit in in the west. We‘ve not figured out how to counter this yet.

A lot of this is this is just invented.

Many French would have you believe women wearing Hijab should be banned lest it destroy their "western culture" when even the most Islamophobic Americans don't care

A 5% Muslim population in UK is supposedly threatening to send them back to the dark ages when Singapore is at 15% with codified multicultural guarantees and somehow annihilates them in every measure of modernity and development

Mate, you're comparing the population of Singapore, a country among the world's strictest immigration laws and mostly local Mayal Sunnis who are cosmopolitan academics, to Britain, of which most ob its muslim inhabitants arrived there from central Africa and the ME via small boats, while also being largely uneducated *and* statistically likely to be a product of incest [1]

I don't care more or less about Islamic attitudes than I do about Catholic or Jewish attitudes. It's all the same to me, people who are unable to divorce themselves from their heritage to perceive the world in terms unrelated to their parentage or place of birth, which together explain the vast bulk of the religious affiliations.

> It's all the same to me,

Unfortunately, hundreds of millions of people, including queer people and women, do not have your luxury. They do in most Christian countries and Israel.


There's a general issue with immigrants coming from different cultures and whose values and traditions don't align with our, often in ways that go against the principles of our societies. It's something that needs to be addressed seriously, and the failure of political parties to do so has fuelled the growth of a right that profits from the issue and tries to paint it bigger than it is.

That of course has nothing to do with the fact that extreme-right parties look at Israel, with its ethnic suprematism, as an example. The only connection I see is backwards: Israel is undoubtedly doing its best to fuel racism against muslims because it wants us to believe we have a common enemy.


That's very simple: stop destabilizing the Middle East.

Most of Europe never did.

Was that also your argument before the crusades?

I'm honestly struggling to see what the crusades have to do with this discussion, mind helping me out?

I think they don't know much about history but think they do, and believe that the Crusades were the West heroically coming to help oppressed people because Arabs. 'They started first', basically.

Actually, it was a response to the Ottomans capturing spain

I think it was a response to 9/11.

Why tell blatant lies? The BSW is a moderate left leaning party with social capitalist and very conservative ideas about immigration. They‘re also Russia friendly, who are imperialist invasors. Nothing about them is left.

It‘s the opposite, all the traditional middle class types left „Die Linke“, who are now the clear far left candidate. They are the only candidate that propose a socialist economic reform, open borders and a stop to and and all deportations.


I don't think any party who openly works with the AfD could be called moderate.

But yeah, on paper they don't sound too bad (ignoring their pro-russia sentiments)


Their positions are, in a general sense, moderate, with a sprinkle of absolutely insanely bonkers ideas

Could they not be both?


Extremely unlikely - these are very sparse domains.


Somebody must have tried attacking old lost Bitcoin wallets on that basis. But so far those early day Bitcoins haven't moved.


Also, in Codex, one randomly can't click "New Chat" or "Scheduled Tasks". You know, the absolute two basic functions.


You‘ll suspect that from a single word? The people on this site man.


How can they forcibly imprison the leaders of a soverein, nuclear armed state?


The remaining non-corrupt members of the executive branch (or the state governments) would uphold the oaths they took, lock potus and friend in boxes, and ship them off.

As for Israel, as I understand it, the next election will mean domestic jail time for the incumbents unless the polls are wildly wrong.

At that point, it would be easy for Israel to start climbing out of lawlessness too.


And while they're at it, forget about Israel being an ethnostate and give the 5 million Arabs without any representation a vote.


While I vehemently disagree with the IDFs handling and it's hard to deny the genocidal effort, let's not forget Americans reacted very similarly after 9/11. People are not keen on ideas of peace after a large scale terrorist attack.


Revenge and collective punishment may be natural human reactions to a terror attack but that doesn't make them justified. Especially when those in charge anticipated the attack and deliberately exploited it.


> People are not keen on ideas of peace after a large scale terrorist attack.

Except for Palestinians of course, who suffer a terror attack every day, and are expected to remain peaceful afterwards, or they will be punished with another terror attack.


And over what? A bone dry desert and acres of literal dirt.


They also want foreigners to not depend on their welfare system. The horror.


I bought a series 11 with the esim option for this very reason and it just - doesnt - work. The airpod connection drops randomly, spotify stops working, navigation randomly stops working, the apple health app doesnt respect my other workout app, etc.

I'm really unsatisfied with this device.
