Americans often don’t realize how obsessed we are with race and gender and how much people in the rest of the world just don’t care about this stuff. Not saying idpol is an American thing, it definitely exists in many places, but the fixation for American people and politicians on race issues is fa...
Sure it was, Trump invited everyone over for the 6th long in advance having fuelled hysteria over a stolen election for two months.. it didn't just occur out of context. Where is your evidence that Trump was behind the storming of the U.S. Capitol? Hasn't the Democratic Party been falsely claiming ...
I listen to the speech he gave before the storming and he asked his supporters to peacefully protest.
I was talking about the attack on the capitol, that was definitely Trump supporters, although a radical fringe and not at all representative of most Trump supporters
IIRC account deletions are done by humans, algorithms only do suspensions So a bunch of outsourced workers in India are reviewing and deleting accounts handed to them by an algorithm en masse after a directive from Twitter HQ. Yes that seems much more coordinated and less likely to be riddled with ...
The issue is bigger than Trump. Like I mentioned earlier, many twitter accounts associated with #Walkaway and the Pro Life March were also deleted, despite not breaking any twitter ToS rules nor inciting any sort of hate or violence. This seems like a cover for twitter to silently strike down other...
I'm not really liking any of these - but I guess AfD? They strike me as being a bit akin to the GOP, another party I have serious issues with. While AfDs anti immigration and anti EU stance is good, along with social conservatism, many factions of the party have links to racist organizations so in ...
Again, I am not arguing the Republicans are right on the free speech issue, they are wrong. What surprises me is your ok walking down that path. I'm ok with shutting down a person who's tried to overthrow democracy, because the right to vote for your government is the fundamental free speech we hav...
Which is untrue because of the amount of secular pro lifers The secular pro-lifers aren't in charge. That’s debatable, but considering this is an overall anti abortion movement, you’re tying in other issues into this movement despite it not calling for it. It’s a turnabout double standard, since ma...
I assume you have a very broad definition of what counts as "hate" then? The American "pro-life" movement is a Christian fundamentalist front whose dogma is firmly rooted in a very reactionary view of gender, sexuality and personal freedom. Which is untrue because of the amount ...
Don’t move the goalposts, your post implied that all right wing activities getting banned were hateful, yet stuff like #Walkaway and the March for Life was by no means a hate movement Actually, now that I think about it... yeah, they are. They both are. It just so happens that #Walkaway is also bey...
No offense but I really don’t understand Catholic theology. Why do you guys treat Mary as if she is a deity? Of course she is not as important as God or Jesus, but still. Same with the Saints Her being less important doesn't make her unimportant. What in particular did she do other than birthing th...
Worship of people should be avoided in general, imho. Even the greatest people to live should be looked upon with a rational mindset. None of them were perfect, none of them were monsters, they were all human. No, no, a lot of them were monsters. George Washington certainly wasn’t, in fact he was t...
#Walkaway, what an evil hate group! #Walkaway? Ah, you mean the right-wing astroturf that's just as much of a scam as #NeverTrump Republicans are? Don’t move the goalposts, your post implied that all right wing activities getting banned were hateful, yet stuff like #Walkaway and the March for Life ...
Once again, I find it funny (but also sad) that right-wingers only figured out that life under capitalism is authoritarian even with liberal laws when it started to impact their ability to organize their authoritarian hate groups online. Two centuries of increasingly tyrannical businessowners openl...

Funnily enough even Syria (part controlled by Assad) is freer than Egypt nowadays, and were talking about a country thats been in civil war for a decade The Levant has always been a bastion of religious tolerance, simply due to the amount of religious diversity in the region that’s been there for c...

I really don't wanna visit Egypt. On my list of places in the middle east that I wanna go to, it's above Yemen but definitely below much of the Levant as well as Algeria and Morocco and Tunisia. Egypt has so many issues with government oppression, Islamic terrorism and riots that it isnt even funny...
Hong Kong, like Malaysia and India, retains a repressive, colonial-era sedition law It hasn't been invoked in HK until very recently. The British colonial authorities neglected to formally repeal it. I didn't know the law even existed. Apparently one of the arguments against enacting Article 23 of ...
Why should America care about what Europe or Canada thinks? I mean you are welcome to join such paragons of virtue as your good friends the Saudis if you want. Hell if you won't care about what your actual friends think about you why not have a religion police inspecting women's choices of dress. &...
