@Peter_Stampfli @greenlndseal As much as I oppose Russian imperialism and Putin, you do realize the vast majority of these places would be majority-ethnic Russian, right? It’d be no different from “freeing” Nebraska and Iowa from the US.

@IAmAGoufyGoober @mukyo1971 @neyikaybettik The name before that? That’s complicated, while Jews referred to the place as Israel ofc, it varied from people to people. For example, Wikipedia tells me that the Assyrians used the term “Palastu” to refer to areas of it Phillistines lived in.

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@IAmAGoufyGoober @mukyo1971 @neyikaybettik Well the geographic region is still referred to as “Palestine”. It’s like how India is both a state and a subcontinent.

The name “Palestine” for the region started taking off after the Roman province of Judea was renamed to “Syria Palaestina” after the Bar Kokhba revolt.

@felicia_cos AI slop, note how ears are drawn and the half-blindfold on the last pic.

@hiscoraline You know, Quasimodo predicted all this.

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@pakonoizakaya There an English translation somewhere?

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@llana @LesterPaul58 @_ZachFoster Do you apply that idea to other nation/theo-states like the *Arab* Republic of Egypt and Pakistan?

You can be opposed to Israel while not supporting its outright dismantlement. Outright dismantlement would also be more difficult than a simple 2SS.

@zoomerjung @LPNH And what happens if the King is incompetent or values his and his family’s prosperity and strength over the country’s? Just look at the late Romanov’s, Said bin Taimur, Mswati lll, and the Nguema’s (hereditary monarchs in all but name).

@xerxesss My brother in Christ (or Allah in this case) , his title was literally “Supreme Leader”, being a dictator isn’t just about having a personality cult.

@AsaadKundo Fellas, is it effeminate to be hugged by your girlfriend?

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@KevorkAlmassian Trump likes to take credit for literally everything.

@fthisreality @MaitreyaBhakal What? The Nazis never considered any Slavs to be Aryans, they weren’t even on the level of Western Europeans (essentially tier 2) or Mediterranean (essentially tier 3). Slavs, especially Poles were only deemed capable of serving as slave labor for “Aryans”.

@MaitreyaBhakal Correction: we both recognize that a cure for cancer doesn’t exist, does that mean we support it’s non-existence?

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@MaitreyaBhakal You can recognize how toothless “international law” is while also thinking that it *should* have teeth. I doubt either of us like cancer, should we deny that cancer exists?

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@PamphletsY Though regardless getting into reverse dick measuring contests of brutality like this is gross anyhow. Imperialism is always bad, arguing about which was the *most* bad is like arguing about who was the most moral serial killer.

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@PamphletsY Even the Qing? If you can draw numbers from the Roman Empire for Italy, then why can’t you use Imperial dynasties as well?

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@RBAnarchist @nullDorito @LemonSturgis Your point being? Voluntary charity and tax-funded welfare programs can both be used to help people,

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@ashe_92l Huh?

[Swellboy @Swellboy3]

@Kougayon So was this why the new TCP chapter is taking so long?

Congrats btw.

@RWApodcast @ianinnorway Full Ukr. neutrality is also a no go for a “fair deal”, means there’s nothing stopping Ru. from invading again later. Ukr. will need to be able to get *some* western military aid or at least have there be a massive amount of UN peacekeepers deployed in Ukraine.
