Müller apparently forgot about crusades and witch hunts (among others).

Hell, no reason to go that far back. George W Bush was calling it a crusade as he waltzed into Iraq.

Historically you would be called centrist, not conservative. Conservatism is a coherent political ideology and has always been regressive. Notably, the guy considered the father of modern conservatism was a monarchist who created the whole thing as a framework for an aristocracy to exist within democracy (which he predicted would sweep across Europe after the French revolution). So yeah, you’re not conservative unless you’re actively for putting power in the hands of the capitalists rather than the people.

The rules based order has always been a farce. Doesn’t excuse the evil shit they do, but let’s not pretend the West was respecting the rules it set up.

I think this is disappear as a transitive verb, like it’s saying he was disappeared by the US government. It’s not soft language.

Obviously he’s full of shit, but it’s funny to note that because Ukraine currently has presence in Russia, stopping along the current front line would mean giving up Russian territory to Ukraine.

Surprising nobody.

Uh… Nationality? Idelogy? Political party? Hell, sports teams? This shit runs deep.

Not respecting a flag won’t end democracy, but cutting off religion will end democracy. As you can probably guess from the article above, even most atheists are implicitly religious one way or another.

Good riddance.

To democracy?

Man I hate it when stupid people are right (the Harris being a joke part, not the women shouldn’t vote part).

Welp.

Maybe I should get into tap-dancing. More seriously fair enough I should’ve thought of that too.

“Can’t easily go to Jerusalem” is only one part of the article, and that aside it’s an egregious attack on Palestinian freedom of movement so not really overdramatic. Israel has been doing much flashier things lately so I get your instinct to dismiss this, but this attitude is part of why Israel has gotten away with its crimes for so long; the world only pays attention to the plight of Palestinians when they’re being blown to bits by Israeli airstrikes and then forgets about them when the planes (mostly) stop flying. This article does a good job of highlighting the quieter parts of Israeli oppression IMO.

An ethnostate is a state made explicitly for one ethnicity that prioritizes that ethnicity over others. The most glaring examples of this are Israel and Apartheid South Africa, but it’s a thing to a much smaller extent in Japan for example. Also note that most European countries do in fact have plenty of native ethnicities; they all just happen to be white. The most obvious example is probably Jews, but there are many others.

It seems 23% of boys aged 13-15 have a positive opinion of him, as opposed to 53% who have a negative opinion. That’s a majority who hate him to be sure, but not an overwhelming majority. Also note that support for Andrew Tate is higher among young adults than teenagers who haven’t even entered highschool. 27% of British men aged 18-29 have a positive view of Andrew Tates, while 35% agree with “the sort of thing Andrew Tates would say”. He’s liked by a significant minority of his major audience (male teenagers and young/young-ish adults).

The hivemind seems to really hate you even though they’d probably agree the lack of good male role models is very much a cause of the incel epidemic.

Wow. It takes a special (in a bad way) sort of person to see an article about a guy who died in the place of another person in the Holocaust and go “ew, religion”.

Okay maybe a majority, but “overwhelming majority”? No way. There are a lot of incels in America.

Edit: I somehow managed to forget that the article is about Britain.

Yeah but the FO is way too excessive. This man will likely be homeless when he retires or end up working at a 7-11 into his 70s at this rate. All for seven bucks.

Now remember that Iran has almost four times the population of Syria.
