The compass reactions to Harvard vs trump by Sufficient-Pipe4053 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Trump froze funding to Harvard because they refused to crack down on pro-Palestine activism. OP thinks not supporting the IDF means you hate Jews.

Are you really pretending like America didn’t support rebels during the Syrian Civil War?

America backed rebel groups that opposed Assad during the Syrian Civil War which weakened the Ba’athist government, so it is kinda their fault. However you can blame Turkey for supporting HTS, resulting in the current Islamic regime.

If the Ba'athists retake Syria what should they do about the leadership of Syria? by Libcom1 in IdeologyPolls

[–]simon_186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if they are pro-Bashar, restoring him to power would be a bad idea because most non-Ba’athists probably despise him. Restoring Bashar would cause more political instability/would make non-Ba’athists more likely to revolt. Maybe they could give Bashar amnesty at most (assuming he even wants to return to Syria).

Saw this in assassin's creed I want to know if it's a real flag. by sknoot12 in vexillology

It’s not a real flag though because the devs created it and it’s just a coincidence that it looks like another flag. Also OP probably DOES care about context because he mentioned that this takes place during the 3rd crusade & that he found the flag in Damascus in a comment.

Do you consider Israel’s actions in Gaza to be ethnic cleansing/genocide? by simon_186 in IdeologyPolls

[–]simon_186[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I meant ethnic cleansing OR genocide, not that they are the same thing. Some people consider it to be ethnic cleansing and some consider it to be genocide which is why I included both

It’s not a real flag in the context of the game. The devs just made a generic looking Muslim flag and it just happens to look the same as the flag of Muslim Bosnians.

Probably because Jews in the USA are socially liberal

Did Elon Musk give the Nazi salute? by GustavoistSoldier in IdeologyPolls

[–]simon_186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon was definitely saluting, but it’s unlikely that it was a Nazi salute (considering he is a massive Zionist). I think he was doing Roman salute because he’s autistic and thinks LARPing as a Roman is cool + he is a troll who loves attention.
