Goes to show how fake and empty the selective moralizing is in the absurdly evil times we live in, where humans are routinely mass-slaughtered like animals and it raises zero moral questions
Machiavelli
National character always stays the same. Modern Italians would understand all the futility of dealing with the French, if they only read Roman historians who described all the treachery, infidelity and general unreliability of the Gaul, who did not change at all

Same reason why python became such a success despite being 10x slower than cpp
People don't understand the mindset of an Islamic Republican in the slightest.
They are not looking for personal enrichment (Asad), they are not a sponsored state (NK), they're not a foreign clan ruling over an occupied country.
They are a homegrown ideological movement with a large base of support. They are motivated by nationalism, anti-Westernism (these first two draw their leftist and secular supporters), and a desire to cultivate a society that is both modern and Islamic.
This last part is where most people get lost. They can imagine that Iranians want true sovereignty, or that they hate the West like other global southerners. It's hard for Westerners to understand that Iranians are not the Taliban. They don't want to deprive women of education; they want a hijabi to design a missile.

In Russian slang, "elephant" and "our elephant" generally mean a strong, reliable, calm person who can be relied upon, often with a hint of admiration and respect.
But basically, it means "member of our group (in most contexts - whom we respect)"

UK v. France population 1710-2000.
France would have 200M if the ratio was preserved, or more, as fewer French emigrated.
France's early fertility transition was a pivot point of history. Without it, modernity would be Anglo-French, not just Anglo. Maghreb would be Francized.
my most feminist take is that women should have their own internet
if women had social media during the crusades they would have supported the caliphate and protested against the crusaders.
what we need to understand though, is that THAT’S A GOOD THING
thats exactly what you want in the mother of your children. they have to be empathic, it’s biologically wired in them to side with the weak and the perceived innocent victim.
evolution selected for it because women without empathy let their kids die
the problem isn’t their empathy. the problem is unsegregated internet and social media that shows them “victims” from all over the world
women shouldn’t be exposed to any of this. they should be worried about dresses, cocktail parties with their friends, books, make up, kids etc
exposing their feminine instinct in masculine domains like politics, war, civilizational conflict is psychologically destructive to them and societally destructive to everyone else
you see it everywhere. palestinian flags in bios of women who’ve never opened a history book.
“refugees welcome” signs held by women who wont walk alone at night.
tiktoks about conflicts they couldn’t put on a map.
protests against ice trying to arrest illegal immigrants
the empathy is real, the context is completely absent.
and when this scales up and infects feminized men you get suicidal empathy, where entire populations siding with groups that would exterminate them if positions were reversed.
empathy without survival instinct is a civilizational death wish
a female internet is necessary as protection.
demanding women process masculine violence “equally” is the actual cruelty.
smartphones broke something that worked fine for 200,000 years

Half of europe was essentially linked to ussr, though maybe not the mpst essential part 🙃

“If women ruled the world there would be no wars.”
Nobody believes this. If women ruled the world there would be immediate global genocide of like 5 billion people. Rivers would run red with the blood of innocents
Five Left-wing narratives instantly crumble with the body cam footage:
1) Renee was terrified for her life.
She absolutely was NOT. She was smiling and taunting officers. Literally zero fear.
2) The officer was not hit.
Clearly, he was hit HARD.
3) Renee didn't know who the officers were.
Clearly false from the new footage, they knew EXACTLY who they were.
4) Renee was peacefully trying to leave the scene.
Clearly not, she slammed on the accelerator directly into the officer, even when she had nearly a full minute to leave the scene prior to him being in front of the car.
5) Renee wasn't involved in any ICE-related activities.
Instantly proven false. The wife/partner in the video clearly states they are going to harass ICE "later".
What is beyond insane to me is that the Renee's partner screams for her "Drive! Drive!" when law enforcement commands her to exit the car.
Absolutely horrifying to watch.
