@Heccles94 Summer. Lovely, isn’t it. Apparently I got a little sun tan in my pram back in ‘76. This reminds me of all those long, hot summers in the 80s and 90s. And then again in the 2000s.
The man who won the Democratic primary in New York tonight stood in a mosque two days ago and recited the Quran, and the Muslims there prayed that Allah would kill the infidels with his sword. Very dark times are coming.
@PaulEmbery To succeed, he’ll need to cut benefits, soften net zero commitments and roll-back anti business measures (lower minimum wage and national insurance).
@BladeoftheS Jennifer, for once you are correct - but not for the reason you think: Poland has very low Third-world, low skilled immigration. Consequently, they have have a lower a welfare bill and a thriving economy - hence native Poles can retire earlier.
Mehdi Hasan was 30 years old in 2009 when he called non-Muslims ‘animals with diseased minds.’
He was so extreme that he even attacked ‘dog and music lovers’, since dogs and music are haram in Islam. He also compared homosexuals to pedophiles.
He only apologized a decade later, because the video leaked.
Mehdi claims he has totally changed, which I find hard to believe given his actions and the fact that he practices Twelver Shia Islam, where lying (Taqiyya) is completely allowed.
Mehdi hates when this video goes viral. It would be a shame if it did.
The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.
Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.
Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.
As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”
Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.
Time to choose your side.
