A system where 2 countries can block the will of 190+ nations is not global justice — it’s geopolitical monopoly.
The UNSC veto must become 3 vs 2 minimum, or the UN will keep losing legitimacy with every war it fails to stop.
@tokyonosensei@GadSaad@Concordia Psychiatry exists in Pakistan, in Islam, and in most functioning societies.
What remains under investigation is your understanding of all three.
@TurboMitzvah@GadSaad@Concordia Not being a fan is perfectly fine. My point was never about disagreement — it was about converting ordinary disagreement into self-congratulation.
@elonmusk@RupertLowe10 And yet, you hobnob with a president who is in the Epstein files and whom a civil jury in New York found liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll.
بالکل، سوال پوچھنے سے پہلے تصویر کے ٹریفک سسٹم کو بھی دیکھ لینا چاہیے۔ یہ ڈایاگرام LHD/دائیں طرف چلنے والی ٹریفک کے لیے لگ رہا ہے، جبکہ ہمارے ہاں اصول مختلف ہو سکتے ہیں۔ دوسرے ممالک کی تصویر کاپی پیسٹ کرنے سے پہلے سیاق و سباق درست کر لینا بہتر ہوتا ہے، ورنہ سوال سے زیادہ کنفیوژن پیدا ہوتی ہے۔
A serious question for the idea of “suicidal empathy”:
If compassion is dangerous whenever it crosses national, racial, religious, or cultural boundaries, then what remains of humanity as a shared moral project?
A civilisation may survive by hardening itself against others — but does the human race survive if every civilisation does the same?
🇺🇸 Bernie Sanders says Trump's support isn't really about Trump.
It's about millions of people who feel democracy no longer delivers results in their daily lives.
When people can't afford healthcare, struggle to get ahead, and see their children falling behind, they stop believing in institutions and start looking for a strong leader instead.
"If democracy worked for working people, people would believe in it again."
@MarioNawfal Heart 14 years younger, lungs clear, cognition 30/30. Wonderful. Now please run the “previous statement vs next statement” test — that’s where the real pathology may show.

@Nebohtes Mr. PhD, I condemned violence. You offered insults. My point was selective outrage: one filmed assault gets global moral panic, while children, women and elderly civilians dying on camera are ignored when their suffering does not serve the narrative.
@RichardWayne500@Pishak2013@elonmusk@BigPopz72 I am not protecting criminals. I condemned the assault. What I am questioning is selective morality: one viral video shocks you, while far greater atrocities elsewhere—many filmed, many censored—are conveniently ignored by those who shape the global narrative.
@panatheniac@Pishak2013@elonmusk@BigPopz72 You don’t get to rob a house for centuries, return the keys at the end, and then demand applause as the saviour of property rights.
You can criticise Muslim empires, but don’t misrepresent Islam. The Prophet’s final sermon declared: “No Arab is superior to a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab to an Arab; no white to black, nor black to white—except in piety.” That is the Islamic standard. History often failed it; Islam did not preach racism.
Islam addressed slavery in the 7th century by pushing society toward emancipation: freeing slaves became worship, compensation for sins, and even a zakat category. The U.S. abolished slavery in 1865 only after a brutal civil war. So let’s not pretend the timelines or moral paths were the same.
@chotiari@Pishak2013@elonmusk@BigPopz72 Yes, I know Pakistan has serious human rights problems. But bonded labour and forced child marriage are not legal ideals here—they are crimes and failures of enforcement. Criticise Pakistan where it fails, but don’t pretend illegal abuse is the same as state-sanctioned slavery.
❗Research from Save the Children: Palestinian children are being physically, emotionally and sexually abused, humiliated and starved in Israeli military detention.
The torture, and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of children, is getting worse.
🔴 More than half of the formerly-detained children we surveyed reported witnessing or experiencing sexual violence
🔴 99% reported physical assault
🔴 82% reported being forcibly stripped naked
🔴 94% reported being denied medical care
🔴 100% reported being denied contact with their families

@YvetteCooperMP, @HFalconerMP: the UK Government should publicly call for the release of all Palestinian children arbitrarily detained and call for an end to Israeli military authorities arresting, detaining and prosecuting children.
