Ok but the comparison of the salvadorian prison would make more sense. Maybe its meant differently, but I thought that the reference meant that its almost ‘as bad’ as gulags, well there had to be trial for you to be sent there.

Under Stalin in 1930s I dont think so. But otherwise sure, closely under half. After stalin many were released, some officially pardoned. however aspects of the great purge are relevant today, I think that the reference considers precisely the political prisoners.

Well prisoners sent to gulags had to be sentenced (in poorly conducted unfair trials, but still there at leas was a sentence), this is unfair to gulags from a legal view.

I think for now most objective would be “actions consistent with genocide” and war crimes. That being said most prominent human rights organizations do classify it as genocide. Here i think bias was referring to nonfactual reporting, so translations or what some people dispute bears no value.

Illegal and totally unprovoked, invasion of sovereign democratic state of Yemen. Oh wait these are not white europeans. Necessary intervention to prevent spread of antisemitic terrorist rogue state. /s

Yep the war propaganda is far stronger in EU. Nonstop since beginning of the invasion.

Armed uprising was not the initial response, but because palestinians were denied basic human rights and have exhausted all peaceful methods like during the 2018 attacks by israel on civilians, they only then turned to armed struggle. This will provide them with leverage they did not have before. They could use this to get support internationally like in the South Africa case. It will mostly end when palestinians are given basic human and also civil rights back and are allowed selfdetermination as mandated by UN and the illegal ocupation and settlements end.

Where did you find any Russians in the report?

I second this, only small part actually committed acts of terrorism and have disrwgard for civilians, I believe the al qassam brigades. By trying to argue that all Hamas members are terrorists he just shows his poor understanding.

Hey this reminds me of some history. Did you know that before considering the final solution the initial idea was to deport jewish people to Madagascar. This was all “legal” we are in Germany of course. The Nuremberg laws stripped jews and others of their citizenship, simmilar again. German authorities at the time could not deal with the total number of peoples in need of transportation. So they considered other at the time “legal” options. Oh well.

Aah yes, you were right. I mistakenly thought that you tried to compare the economies by using the arms manufacturing. But you only said the statement about economy size is wrong, which indeed because of ppp it is. I also agree that he uses this for propagandist purposes. Investing heavily into arms production and having more oppressed workforce doesnt sound as good I guess.

But he only talks in real values, why is ppp relevant? Note I dont necessarily share his point, I’m just not sure what you mean.

Parliamentarism is a joke of a democracy. It does not represent the people or their needs.

I think that your point confuses islamic state with a muslim majority state. While almost all muslim majority states allow women to vote(even though some only quite recently like saudis), islamic state would be different. This is of course same for any fundamentalist state like a jewish one or christian one. They are incompatible with democracy.

Yeah the US clearly has an open southern border. How could you not see that? /s

Alright so if I understand this well: Haiti under the French colonial rule did not have slavery during the times when the imported slave population exceeded some limit when compared to the French population there.

I will continue with a hypothetical: if for example more French came on a trip there and the not slaves would become a minority, there would all of a sudden be slavery there. And of course when they would depart from their holidays, Haiti would again gracefully abandon that heinous practice.

US did not ever have slavery! Because noone was slave there except black people if they were not free.

Some hard hitting facts right there. I betcha you didnt know this.

I dont think that he is particularly upset.

No see if one was to compare his advice take the one to the us planners that they should provide for example loans to the soviets it was completely rejected, as the us chauvinistically did not want to help.

Quote of whom?

First where does security concern equal “standing up to something”. Secondly what exactly do you mean by the concept of rational bias?

edit: do you know that some bolsheviks pragmatically supported capitalist policies as means to help the national economy and as transitional to communism. Your argument crumbles even in this respect.
