A New Filipino Leader for Southeast Asia’s Islamic State
  • The president of the Philippines is Bongbong Marcos, son of the former dictator Ferdinand Marcos. He was vice president since 2016, and then was elected president in 2022.

    Also Duterte was notorious for extra-judicial killing of poor people that may or may not be involved in drug trades/consumption. So another reason to not praise him.

  • La députée Renaissance Caroline Yadan propose la «dissolution» de LFI, tollé chez les insoumis
  • Caroline Yadan est une députée Renaissance, revendiquée de "centre". L'image est dans l'ensemble applicable sur leurs discours habituels, mais dans le cas présent on est sur la partie en bas à gauche : "both sides are equally bad".

    "Un mouvement d'extreme droite est dissolu pour cause d'antisémitisme, donc ils faut dissoudre l'opposition de gauche parce qu'ils sont aussi antisémites" (???)

  • Keep it simple
  • So the spelling is irregular, so what. You’ll be bad at spelling for a while.

    People mostly learn languages by reading.

    having to memorize arbitrary gender for every noun in the language, learn complex verb conjugations, polite and impolite forms and make every verb and adjective agree with the nouns in gender and number

    If you mess those up, people will still understand you. Saying "un chaise" instead of "une chaise" doesn't change the meaning and everyone knows what you're saying.

    However, if you learn english words through text and then try to use them vocally, nobody will understand you. (looking at you "beard", who isn't pronounced at all like "bear" for some reason)

    There is absolutely no correlation between spoken and written english, so in practice it's the same as having to learn two languages at once. Even adult native speakers still aren't sure how to pronounce simple 1 syllable words such as "route" or "vase", that's pretty telling how confusing that language is.

  • what if?
  • Well, that's new.

    Anarchism is a sub-ideology of communism that seeks to abolish all kind of unjustified hierarchy, including capitalism. It's the farthest left ideology.

    "Anarcho-capitalist" is a strange concept that's very recent and only seem to exist in the USA, that tries to reimagine feudalism in the industrial age, meaning that very rich people are free to have their own army and own massive area of land, where people living there will subjected to the laws of that lord, with no possibility to remove them through voting. It really doesn't have anything in common with anarchy.

    You can read more on the wikipedia page, it seems to be pretty good.

  • 2023 Edelman report shows that China has the highest trust in government
  • I don't know about you, but I would rather live in a country with an authoritarian and oppressive government that takes care of its citizens, instead of an authoritarian and oppressive government that oppresses its citizens to protect landlords and corporations profits like I do now.
