Maybe I should get into tap-dancing. More seriously fair enough I should’ve thought of that too.

Okay how about: Build houses without worrying about property values. Capitalism should have absolutely nothing to do with housing.

So that was an oversimplification; Quran 9:60 specifies the eight recipients of Zakat, and one of them is “for the sake of God”, which has been interpreted by most (but not all) scholars to refer to providing supplies and arms to non-professional (conscripted or volunteer) soldiers during Jihad. Some scholars have been more expansive of their interpretation of this, but that’s the majority opinion. This might seem out of place, which is fair but consider a situation where a Muslim state has to go to war but doesn’t have the funds to raise an army and as a result loses territory. As far as I understand it’s basically a wartime “oh shit” button.

I’m just surprised he knows the word calamitous.

Or you can… Build more houses. It’s not that complicated.

That’s great. Maybe the information leaks and some poor Yemeni gets to run to safety once.

“Can’t easily go to Jerusalem” is only one part of the article, and that aside it’s an egregious attack on Palestinian freedom of movement so not really overdramatic. Israel has been doing much flashier things lately so I get your instinct to dismiss this, but this attitude is part of why Israel has gotten away with its crimes for so long; the world only pays attention to the plight of Palestinians when they’re being blown to bits by Israeli airstrikes and then forgets about them when the planes (mostly) stop flying. This article does a good job of highlighting the quieter parts of Israeli oppression IMO.

An ethnostate is a state made explicitly for one ethnicity that prioritizes that ethnicity over others. The most glaring examples of this are Israel and Apartheid South Africa, but it’s a thing to a much smaller extent in Japan for example. Also note that most European countries do in fact have plenty of native ethnicities; they all just happen to be white. The most obvious example is probably Jews, but there are many others.

As one Lord Kelvin once said: K.

.ml is notorious for arbitrary bans so I wouldn’t think too much about it. There are active alternatives for most (but probably not all) communities hosted there. Criticizing Russia there is also a great way to get in trouble with the admins because they’re explicitly tankies.

This just in Hezbollah employs this person to guard against any further pager attacks.

It seems 23% of boys aged 13-15 have a positive opinion of him, as opposed to 53% who have a negative opinion. That’s a majority who hate him to be sure, but not an overwhelming majority. Also note that support for Andrew Tate is higher among young adults than teenagers who haven’t even entered highschool. 27% of British men aged 18-29 have a positive view of Andrew Tates, while 35% agree with “the sort of thing Andrew Tates would say”. He’s liked by a significant minority of his major audience (male teenagers and young/young-ish adults).

The hivemind seems to really hate you even though they’d probably agree the lack of good male role models is very much a cause of the incel epidemic.

Wow. It takes a special (in a bad way) sort of person to see an article about a guy who died in the place of another person in the Holocaust and go “ew, religion”.

Okay maybe a majority, but “overwhelming majority”? No way. There are a lot of incels in America.

Edit: I somehow managed to forget that the article is about Britain.

“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.

Yes, that’s exactly the point.

I’d jump in acid.

“Lately” it’s been like a decade of this. There’s whole generation that will know The Onion as the world’s least willing oracle.

Muslims everywhere will fondly remember the CIA’s contribution to global jihad 🙏.

Chamberlain did know what he was doing; he was buying time for Britain to rearm so they could put up a fight with the Germans. Biden not so much.
