Surely there’s been some sort of macro analysis of why a certain type of person considers Dubai to be “iconic” while normal people know it to be a complete heap of shit
@dieworkwear Separately, I also love how Chanel has bought a stake in some incredible independent watch manufacturers (FP Journe, Romain Gauthier, MB&F) particularly when you consider both the innovative and craftsmanship involved in these brands.
Well, for once, Twitter has done something rather amazing.

He wants to leave Nato for not helping fight a war he had already won but still has to finish a job that was a June 25 mission accomplished to ensure the safety of an ally that is not participating in the offensive to liberate a people he is about to send back to the stone age
Britain is 6% Muslim. Germany 5%. France 10%. Sweden 9%. Belgium 7%.
At this rate of Islamic conquest, Europe will be majority Muslim sometime around the year 2847. I’d pencil in some mild concern for around 2600 and see how things look then.
Now. The refugees. Since someone asked who’s paying for all this. Let’s follow the money back a bit further.
America invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years there achieving absolutely nothing, then left in such breathtaking chaos that people were literally hanging off aircraft. It then invaded Iraq over weapons that turned out not to exist, killed somewhere between 150,000 and a million people, and converted a functioning country into a sectarian hellscape. This is before we even get to the drones over Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.
The people washing up on European shores are, in very large part, the direct human wreckage of American foreign policy. America created the disaster. Europe is housing the survivors. And America is on the internet asking why Europe keeps letting people in. Remarkable cheek, really.
As for eliminating indigenous culture: the United States actually eliminated its indigenous people. Deliberately. With rifles and government paperwork. Europe took in Syrian doctors. These are not comparable situations, and pretending they are requires a truly heroic indifference to history.
The culture is fine. France still has the cheese. The Louvre is still there. Bach is still there. Nothing has been eliminated except, apparently, the ability to read a percentage.
