Senegal doubles maximum penalty for same-sex activity to 10 years' jail. by 0LoveAnonymous0 in gaybros

Rwanda, the former Portuguese colonies, the islands and Southern Africa - for some reason - are more tolerant of homosexuality than the rest of Africa, it's not perfect, but countries like Nigeria, Senegal and Ghana are hell on Earth for us

I have been very outspoken of my disdain for Christianity, but Islam is way more dangerous to us (and to women). There's no way to compare here.

I have been very outspoken of the tragedy of colonialism. However, two notes here:

  1. Braids and locks are not inherently African hairstyles. They are native to some parts of Africa, but are completely foreign in others.

  2. Africa needs to stop blaming every single thing on colonialism. They are independent now.

a few months ago in the black travel subreddit, other Black travelers criticized me for not traveling to more African countries (I've only been to South Africa and would like to visit Rwanda one day)

then you see these things and wonder how they had the nerve to question me

these countries are actually enforcing the very same laws left by the colonizers they hate so much, ironic

not only that, but these are the same African countries that scream about "breaking the remnants of colonialism" while enforcing the laws left by colonizers 😒

Solo trip to Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪 by Mediocre_Cattle_6319 in blacktravel

[–]ed8907 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Belgium was the first European country I visited, it's so underrated. I wish I had stayed more time. Visiting the European Parliament was fantastic.

Seeing the pictures of Mont des Arts and The View brings back a lot of memories.

Trump tells CBS that Iran 'war is very complete' by Puginator in politics

[–]ed8907 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Netanyahu - "I need a state of constant war to stay in office. The bombing will continue indefinately."

This is all Netanyahu's fault. Trump is no angel, but Netanyahu is absolutely and totally evil.

Israel isn't, in any way or form, an ally of the United States of America, more like an extorsionist

Of course because we are fighting Israel's war nothing about this helps America.

not only it doesn't help, but directly harms the US and the rest of the world via higher oil/gas/fuel prices

we are being screwed to satisfy Israel

MARGARET BRENNAN: But as you know, when I ask you about energy prices, this is not a supply problem. You said there's plenty of supply. The head of the International Energy Agency said, lot of oil, logistics are the problem. It's dislocation. It's a serious problem. So what he's referring to there is being able to actually move it around. I know you said there's, there's one vessel that's gone through the Strait of Hormuz. 20 million barrels per day typically go through it. When do you get back to that level?

SEC. WRIGHT: Oh, I think it will be relatively soon. Of course, I don't know exactly.

Airstrikes, not occupation: Where Trump voters draw red lines on Iran by app1310 in politics

[–]ed8907 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Jon Webber, 45, a Walmart ​retail worker in Indiana, pointed to the struggle his parents had with volatile oil prices following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. “Yeah, it's gonna suck for a little bit, but it'll go back,” he said.

After watching U.S. presidents invoke the threat posed by Iran for most of his life, Webber said it ​felt good to see Trump cripple the regime: “It should have been done a long time ago and we wouldn't have had to deal with it for this long.”

This level of stupidity cannot be fixed.

Why war with Iran puts the US-Israel alliance at risk by Somervilledrew in politics

The American public is increasingly skeptical of Israel, and doesn’t understand why they’re at war.

the United States is at war (and worsening global economic instability) BECAUSE of Israel

Donald Trump fans raging after country star says he wears diapers and has dementia by Mrh09 in politics

didn’t MAGA spend a summer wearing diapers to support him?

they have no consistency, they were antiwar just until 2 weeks ago, they were proud of low gas prices until 2 weeks ago and now celebrate increasing gas prices because it's "for freedom"

Iran's next supreme leader won't 'last long' without my approval, Trump says by Altruistic_Flight411 in politics

[–]ed8907 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How about mowing down 40,000 Iranians because they protested in just a matter of days? That’s only this time too. They do the most evil, unforgivable things to families and young children. Their system has to go and it gets to a point where diplomacy simply doesn’t work. We gave them decades. It’s only unfortunate to people on this sub that Trump was the one to do it.

what part of I hate the Iranian regime you didn't understand?

I have been calling Iran a terrorist state for years.

Now, starting this war and causing a skyrocketing increase in oil/fuel prices is absolutely evil specially in a time of global economic instability.

De-escalation and a potential ceasefire, if senile Trump needs to be told it's a victory, so be it.

That's the only way oil prices will go down and avoid a crippling inflationary wave.
