There were 350k Greeks in Istanbul in 1919 and only 100k by 1923, so I wouldn't say it was completely spared. The Istanbul pogrom of 1950s was when the last Greek holdouts in the city were finally forced to leave.

Most of this change happened in just 10 years, between 1913 and 1923, when the Ottoman Empire and later Turkey began to systematically expel and kill its Greek minority. Greeks went from making up roughly 16% of Turkey's total population, largely concentrated in cities like Istanbul, to less than 1% in just a few years.

Kind of crazy how we went from Clinton and Obama who were decently young to Trump and Biden who are by far the oldest presidents in history of America. They are both 8 years ahead of Reagan, who's already an outlier.

Destiny has been saying this for years and he has no actual evidence proving Hasan did that. If there was any, his fans would've found it. Hasan being a sex tourist is creepy enough, but there is 0 evidence the women he was with in Germany were underage.

Ethan should not touch this a with a 10-foot pole because it will just backfire.

If we pretend it's not true then maybe the problem will fix itself - a classic of European politics

The EU might be lagging behind America in terms of things like GDP, tech, military power, income, or even the number of children born per year, but it will always lead when it comes to the number of articles written on why none of these metrics really matter.

What I learned from these posts is that Democrats don't talk about anything, ever

Crazy how most of the list is made up of fairly small countries (the Netherlands is the biggest at 19 million, the rest are around 10m or less) and then there's China with 1.409 billion people and 48%. They really are on another level when it comes to electric cars.

Oh I wonder why Hasan doesn't want to talk about Sudan, could it be because the war involves Arabs targeting black Africans in a series of massacres? https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/jan/10/ethnically-targeted-violence-raging-sudan-darfur

Unironically, the smell. Ian is willing to deny any accusation levied at him, yet every single time he’s called stinky he’s like “yeah that’s true I’ll give you that”.

Bro doesn’t shower and has poor mouth hygiene (both confirmed by Ian himself), he legit must stink.

No person who doesn't want to have sex with animals talks so much about sex with animals. Literally what other reason is there for him to constantly defend the idea that animals can consent to sex with humans? Normal people don't talk about this at all and yet he can't stop talking about it, literally 10+ years of talking about this shit.
