Here’s Christianity. Just like any other religion, it’s based on magical beliefs and fraudulent ideas.

Looks like the word ‘terrorism’ has been used quite irresponsibly.

The Kurds have been systematically repressed if one sees a neutral unbiased history of their tribe. Countries that exist today and host large Kurdish populations have systematically suppressed them.

It starts with dismantling ‘whiteness’, which caused a complex stratification in the first place.

When everyone comes out of the trivial racial mentality, then there’s progress. Otherwise, no.
NONE OF THIS IS GOING TO STOP UNLESS WE MAKE IT STOP.

The first measles cases hit the region last fall, and the South Carolina health department declared an outbreak at the start of October. Now, more than 200 cases have been reported over the past few months, and there are no signs of slowing. https://cnn.it/4qv8Xlb

Relentless shelling of the Kurdish-majority neighborhoods of Aleppo is ongoing. Many civilians died.

My support for the Kurds is unwavering, just like for Palestine.

Jin, jiyan, azadi.

Just like Russia is sanctioned for violating international laws, the same should be applied for US.
I’m over other countries acting like all Americans voted for this or allowed this. Some of us have been actively fighting against this for a decade and refuse to give up. Some of us repeatedly warned people who refused to listen. It’s not all Americans. You don’t get to choose where you’re born.

… who kidnapped another one.
Same with my predecessors who captured and executed Saddam Hussein in a sham trial of mine.
So it’s ok for a country to invade another country and kidnap its president? I hope that the rest of the world is paying attention. I have a president . . .
January 3, 2026 at 3:43 PM
That’s called imperialism, in a nutshell.
It must be alarming to every head of state to learn that possessing machine guns in their own countries is reportedly now one of the grounds for the US to invade kidnap and imprison them.

Will the EU impose the same sanctions on US, as it did for Russia?

Ukraine’s sovereignty is violated by Russia.
Venezuela’s sovereignty is violated by the US.

If sanctions are not applied, then it’s a one-sided story.

A story of propaganda, one where sovereignty of some nations matters more.
I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.

The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)
January 3, 2026 at 2:58 PM
It’s a very dangerous precedent.

With Maduro in possible captivity, the government could be emboldened to act against Khamenei.

Putin is tough to deal, as he is close with Trump.
Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Every child should have the right to question regressive religious beliefs, in their education. Religion is an unnecessary evil.

Instead of the Bible, they should learn how to think.
Instead of the commandments, they should learn how to identify logical fallacies and cognitive biases.
Watching my daughter grow up without evangelical religious trauma is breathtaking.

She’s not scared of a hell, or a god who would condemn her to everlasting torture, and she’s never heard of a rapture. Growing up without that fear really does something good to a young person.

Wrote a small article about “The Process of Regime Change” on Substack.

Illustrating Syria’s example of bringing down a stable Baathist government with a new one, with Islamism (linked with Al Qaeda) as its primary goal.

The meaning of ‘whiteness’ is special. If an immigrant hailing from the European regions or heritage gets his or her physical wage, it gets compounded with a psychological wage.

It is immeasurable. But it provides self-esteem and a sense of superiority over others.

W.E.B Du Bois stated this.
Currently reading this book and finished it halfway through.

It gives a new perspective of understanding the entire process of settlement in the US from a Marxist lens.

A hard truth on how Indians and Blacks were never really cared for and how efforts were made to wipe them off.

My guess why Israel recognised Somaliland?

That would be to deport Palestinians from Gaza and West Bank into Somaliland, after the South African fiasco played out.

Both are coastal regions.

Meanwhile, let’s see the party of right-wingers on X. As usual, a troll to be ignored.

Someone whose whole life is spent on disparaging other communities. Even in moments of death and hardship.

These are the sort of people who don’t care and who won’t help you, if you’re dying.
