The King of Jordan

fascism

I’m not sure that this is surprising coming from Jordan, but he’s a monarchist not a fascist.

Turning into? Watch the actions of BJP, not their words.

Find the difference between Hindutva and Naziism (hint: they’re the same thing)

Why should Western nations continue to open their arms to those who persecute Christians arbitrarily for their faith? No one should live in fear of the state due to their beliefs. This drift toward fascism is alarming, and it strays significantly from the principles of tolerance and mutual respect that our forefathers advocated.

You can’t have errors if you don’t have logs 🤗

Your points are well-made, yet they lean heavily on historical precedent while missing recent dynamics. Although past foreign interference is notable, current geopolitics require fresh evidence to assert foreign involvement. Africa is indeed a growing geopolitical theatre, but the narrative isn’t solely about external actors - the agency of African states and citizens plays a crucial role. Dismissing them risks oversimplifying the complex reality.

It’s crucial to remember that Niger is a key western ally in the fight against Islamist militancy in West Africa. Therefore, direct involvement from countries such as the KSA, China, or Russia seems less likely, as it would conflict with their international relations and objectives.

While it’s conceivable that non-state actors could have a hand in the unrest, available information doesn’t provide concrete evidence for this claim. It’s also worth noting that jihadist groups in the region are not homogenous, and often have differing interests, making their involvement in political coups complicated and less probable.

However, you rightly point out that these situations are rarely as simple as they appear. The truth may well be a mix of local grievances and foreign influences, given the complex and interconnected nature of global politics. Until there’s more information, though, any assertions remain largely speculative.

In the geopolitical context of West Africa, this attempted coup highlights the recurrent destabilizing elements that persist in the region. The instability, primarily fueled by jihadist insurgencies, external powers, and internal grievances, significantly hinders democratic progress and socio-economic development. Niger, like its neighbors, Mali and Burkina Faso, finds itself in a precarious situation, walking a fine line between international alliances, internal political dynamics, and threats from non-state actors. This event calls for an in-depth academic exploration into the cyclical nature of power struggles in post-colonial states, specifically examining how external interventions, both past and present, intersect with domestic power dynamics.

The Egyptian government is no friend of Liberty.

I want them all! They all look fabulous!

Unfortunately that ship may have already sailed. We tried, however in light of these actions, the Cuban government may see us as too unreliable to stake their future on. Hence their subsequent buy-in on China.

Sadly horn volume is regulated with the intention of preventing things like loud air horns from being used on personal vehicles.

30 seconds?!? Lights cycle faster than that where I live! 🤣

Good luck on your CCNA! That’s where I started my journey many years ago and I will never regret it.

Great work! This is my mobile wallpaper now 😊

We will watch your career with great interest

It’s intriguing to observe the unfolding geopolitical chessboard. With China allegedly operating a spy base in Cuba since 2019, and now negotiations for a joint military training facility, it seems the legacy of the Cold War is echoing into the 21st century, with the game pieces shifting and alliances being redrawn. A testament to the intricate and ever-evolving nature of global politics.

It’s alarming to think about losing our gaming history. How can we work together to preserve and safeguard beloved classics?

Absolutely. Look at the solidarity of WGA, SAG, and the Teamsters today. They’re standing up to the real ‘landed gentry’ – corporations trying to strip away job protections and replace workers with generative AI.

One with a union.

My bet’s on 3D printed meat making it to our plates before we’re DIY’ing insulin.

Regulation for medications like insulin is super tight (rightly so!). You can’t just whip up life-saving stuff in your garage without some heavy-duty checks and balances from the FDA and the like. Plus, the DIY part is insane, we’re talking high-level genetic engineering and biochemistry here, not homebrew beer.

Then there’s the demand part. The hype for environmentally-friendly, cruelty-free meat is real and growing every day. If they can get the taste and texture right, not to mention a decent price, lab-grown meat is gonna fly off the shelves.

Meanwhile, homebrew insulin’s got a smaller audience - mainly type 1 diabetics and some type 2s. And given that botched insulin can be lethal, a lot of folks might stick to the tried-and-true stuff from pharmaceutical companies.

So yeah, I’m thinking lab-grown burgers beat homebrew insulin to the punch. But hey, it’s 2023, who knows what’s around the corner? Fun to think about though!
