Fascinating how Turkey and Iran had separate yet similar paths in political development.

A regime of repressive and invasive secularism that brought about a religious revival movement in opposition.

Khamenei: "This is an American conspiracy, Trump will be overthrown"

Trump: "No, the Iranian regime will be overthrown"

Me: "I hope you shall share the same fate"

The future Trump would build wouldn't usher in the dawn of a new American Empire in a golden age. It's far more likely the U.S just becomes the Soviet Union of the 21st century, with Latin America as its 21st century version of the Eastern Block. Speed running through the exact same collapse.

I am probably beating a dead horse to a degree, but I blame far-left dipshits like Hasan Piker for this. They dominated political online commentary from 2020 to 2024, and they spent most of that time bashing liberals, giving the MAGA disinformation ecosystem the time and space to reorganise.

One thing to say about the grim predictions some make of the coming international order that Trump is ushering in, I believe those of you who think it will last are dead wrong. It is unsustainable. There is a reason Empires died in the last century. They would all just die again.

In the United States, most Christians voted for Trump and deportations and most people of every other religious group for which there's data (Jews, Muslims, unaffiliated) voted against. So miss me with the "fake Christian" rhetoric against Trump and Trumpism.

All of MAGA basically has a foreign policy understanding that is based on a misreading and misinterpretation of realist IR theory.

"I can do what I want. Because I strong. Ooooga Boooga."

It is really that stupid and destructive.
US views on foreign policy can be summed up by this Matt Walsh tweet

Is it just me or do people think that "anti-war" MAGA people supported what happened in Venezuela because they hate hispanics and only want to punish them for existing?

So European and British far right wingers want Trump to kidnap their leaders. A lot of 5th columns in the UK and Europe!

All the huge health problems I've been having for the past 5 weeks? Turned out it wasn't some particularly bad case of the flu or pneumonia. But a big abscess that was growing in my throat. It got cut out yesterday.

A stable, peaceful and prosperous Syria is a priority interest of European foreign policy in the Middle East. This dangerous policy of instigating conflict in Syria, that the Israeli government is pursuing, will in the long term damage Israeli-European relations substantially. More so than Gaza.

From the very start when the Assad regime fell over a year ago, the new Syrian government has continuously signalled to the Israelis over and over again that they want to pursue a policy of peace. And the Israeli government has in turn pursued nothing but instigating and escalating conflict. Insane.

I really don't like DNA ancestry stuff. The best thing still is to go to the archive and dig through who your family were.
I would say more Americans are aware nowadays, because of things like Ancestry, and 23 and Me. Though a lot of Americans are mutts so it’s hard to claim a specific heritage based on genes, and usually has more to do with the family story. Like where one or both of the great grandparents came from.

I imagine if you are from a group of people that has been historically disenfranchised, the idea of heritage makes more sense. But more in the sense that you owe it to those who came before you to be free and never forget their struggles?
I can’t speak for every American, but as a Polish/Czech American I value my family history and the handful of ethnic traditions passed down from my parents and grandparents. Those are things that make my American story unique. Though I’m not sure if all Americans are as aware of their roots?

I find the very notion of heritage to be utterly ridiculous.
The confederacy is the heritage you are looking for.
That and every negative policy, bad decision, and hypocrisy commited in America's name.

I am curious to what extent you think heritage is a real thing or not?

The idea that I had to continue something my ancestors believed in or did, never made sense to me. And the idea that the dead somehow hold sovereignty over their descendants seems downright tyrannical to me.

@innhverfur.bsky.social every time people on social media ask me for evidence of the Russian meatwave assaults being real... I wonder... "mhmmm do I really want to download and post the videos of dozens of people getting killed in the most horrific ways?"

Some of this stuff is really horrific.

I've been saying since 2022 that the European Union should consider banning pro-Russian online propagandists who are not E.U citizens from travelling to Europe. Now that the U.S is banning anyone who posted negative opinions of Trump from the U.S, can we give it a shot?
