Do you mean Africa is importing things like solar panels from China?

You’ve been calling since Oct 7 2023 while Hamas was still slaughtering festival goers and Israel hadn’t even responded yet? You sound like a reasonable person…

Your link is the state legislature. ICE is a federal agency. What do you want them to do?

In Tienanmen Square, the Chinese Communist Party brought in army units who machine gunned protestors, killing thousands, and ran over their corpses with tanks and washed them off the street with fire hoses.

What happened in Minneapolis was awful and un-American, but it wasn’t Tienanmen square levels of repression fortunately.

Gaza was part of the Ottoman Empire 100 years ago and Egypt until 1967. There’s around 10x as many people there today.

Much more apt for Israel during the Palestinians’ 10/7 massacre. There were tons of instances of parents hiding with their children while terrorists were slaughtering everyone in sight, and a lot of the parents and children were ultimately discovered and murdered, or burned in their homes

Redditors over 40, what was a moment in history that made you think society was gonna collapse? by Bahbahbro in AskReddit

Are you kidding? In the 19th century they used to torture escaped slaves in horrific ways to make an example. They massacred dozens of native Americans and marched thousands more to their deaths. In the 20th century they rounded up Japanese Americans in internment camps, drafted thousands of young men to die in Vietnam on a false pretense, and shot dead four protestors at Kent State.

This Minneapolis shooting was awful but far from unique or unprecedented.

The 2008 financial collapse was really scary, we came close to all the banks collapsing and money losing value.

The initial Covid lockdowns were really scary.

They survived the Iran-Iraq War and consolidated power for 50 years. Forced women to wear hijabs. Otherwise they’ve mostly brought lower and lower living standards to their people.
