Always amuses me to see the superleft LGBT tankie squad defending Yemen, Iran, etc, because they're anti-west.

These places would literally burn them at the stake for existing.

Cool if you want to see a man run 100m in 7 seconds before his heart explodes on the finish line.

Is this just bumfights with a higher budget?

That would be the same El Salvador that's had the world's highest murder rate since I was a kid, would it?

Sounds like the "war on gangs" is just "replace them all with one big gang and put the leader in charge of the country".

But go back far enough and that's how a lot of countries became more than a bunch of local warlords fucking up each others shit.

The number of votes they cast is simply a reflection of how firmly they believe in his policies.

I'm sure there were videos a few years back of goons openly shoving piles of paper into the ballot boxes.

Like, not even smart enough to do it off camera. Didn't matter anyway. Nobody is going to do anything about it.

Unlikely, but I see your point.

Why is Richard Dawkins silent on this issue?

I think your choices for most of the Western world are limited to "Palestinians die" or "Palestinians die while some cretin talks about what losers they are for dying", unfortunately.

It's not revoked. It's stalled. There's a huge list of things they'd need to do to join, and they basically haven't completed any of it.

Cyprus is a major sticking point, along with Erdogan, who while not quite being a dictator in name, is probably only a little way off it.

The EU is not about to let Turkey join, and the main reason is that Turkey don't really want to.

No space? You live in the fucking desert, man.

Aw, reading comprehension too much for you?

Well the young don't vote at all most of the time.

But when was the last time you saw a party with policies that didn't support the super rich? Since Reagan, no matter if the president wears a red or blue tie, the rich have gotten richer.

The only choice is how much poorer the poor get, with a side order of "other" hate. When the Zoomers are 50, don't worry. There'll be a whole new bunch of "others" to hate on, to distract them from the fact that they can just barely pay the rent. The boomers thought they'd be different too. Peace and love and hippies and Woodstock. Gen Z will be no different.
