Fuck Quebec

It’s been a good couple of years for news coming out of China.

Maybe we’ll hear about to xi having a heart attack next

But why male models?

is doing that by lifting restrictions it previously had on the number of kids per family.

No. They are trying to culturally push people to have kids now. Dropping one child not only didn’t work, their birth rates went down since then.

Putin asking Russians to make more kids won’t magically improve demographics

No, but Putin can do more than ask. So can China.

1 - Russia tries to force migrants into Finland.

2 - Finland closes borders.

3 - Russia forced to accept migrants.

Perfect outcome.

Kids are cheap. All you really need is food and people.

Schools and car seats and houses are expensive, but if a generation has tons of kids, you’ll have the manpower to make those things in 15 years.

Russia is kind of fucked right now and not only in demographic decline, but making it worse by killing half their young people. Will they pull out of it? Probably not.

But can they afford it? They absolutely can. And it’s bad news for the rest of the world if they do. Don’t underestimate this move. Especially because China is doing the same.

Turns out a mass terror attack on a nation rarely benefits the attacker or the nation that was attacked, normally with the attacker coming away worse than their better armed opponent.

It’s basically 9/11 all over again. But on a smaller scale and with a Middle Eastern nation far happier to be brutal on the targeted side.

Saudi is probably more annoyed at Hamas for getting in the way of their plans than they are considering cutting off their deals.

You seem quite disturbed and angered by the fact that I would be disturbed and voice that worry if I saw a bunch of Nazis around.

Over 30 Harvard organizations

Student groups.

Almost all muslim student groups.

Who immediately got denounced hard by every other Harvard institution.

People cheer for nazis, too. Are you going to make a generic claim that “It’s mind-blowing that people defend these monsters” as well?

Yes. If I ever see a significant number of people defending the Nazis in spaces I speak in I will say exactly that.

I’ve got no clue what China is really wanting with the seafood ban

To stir conflict and make Japan out to be the bad guy using misinformation.

It’s the truth and nothing but.

Would you like to point me to the secular and accepting middle east so I can revise my understanding?

The president has no business coordinating with social media on any issue.

it’s not like the region is long and storied history of feuds between people with different religions or anything.

These aren’t happy little secular cultures like the west (and even the West has problems with Christianity even though Christianity is mostly neutered nowadays). These are shitty backwards ass cultures founded in false religions and theocratic dictatorships who can and will do everything in their power to purge all those who don’t believe what they’re supposed to.

When hamas was founded their explicit aim was to get rid of all the Jews. They were voted in by popular support.

Most israelis have more in common with Arabs than differences

The Arabs will literally exterminate them.

there would likely be less violence

Once the Nazi like mass killings stopped, the violence would end.

Those children were oppressing them.

I think we are in for a shit sandwich. Not a flourishing of democracy, but a general failure of the non American system and a great shrinking of the American system from global to “friends we like and protect”.

Democracies will shine above the rest. But I don’t see a great push for them in the wider world, especially with America so disillusioned with the idea of spreading democracy as a concept.
