Oh yay, one of those moments where I get to school everyone on history!

To all the "Cleopatra was black" weirdos: Cleopatra was white. She was part of the Ptolemaic dynasty, which was established by Ptolemy, one of Alexander the Great's generals (aka he was Greek).
"Durrrrrr Egypt is in Africa so Cleopatra had to have been black..."

Not everyone born in Africa is black. Pic related.
Also, the people of Egypt (and North Africa in general) have always been fair in complexion. North Africa is separated from the rest of the continent by the Sahara desert, which was extremely difficult to travel prior to the modern era, meaning trade links were limited at best.
The "ancient Egyptians" still exist. We call them "Copts" now, and they're a minority in Egypt due to the Arab invasions of the 7th century.

Pictured: a Coptic woman. Clearly not black. Looks Sicilian or Greek.
You can't argue that "ancient Egyptians were black" unless you're going to take the fringe right-wing meme position that Italians, Greeks etc. are also black.

Sorry. Take the L and move on.

Trump is bad because he wants to end the longest, most pointless war the U.S. has ever fought, a war that has gone on for NEARLY 20 FUCKING YEARS
there are soldiers fighting in the Middle East, teenagers selling their twats on Onlyfans who were born AFTER the U.S. invaded Afghanistan

nobody in the halls of "official" power thinks this is a problem
the invasion of Afghanistan should have been six months tops: knock out the Taliban, nab bin Laden, gone

what exactly is the justification for being there? some dumb woke shit about defending the rights of Afghan women? neat use of my tax dollars, really inspires confidence

These stories are fake. It's the 2020's version of Internet marketers telling you you can TOTALLY make six figures running affiliate marketing or dropshipping sites from home.

Vast majority of Onlyfans users make nothing. Market is oversaturated. Bottom is about to fall out.
Onlyfans and Internet marketing scams operate on the same principle: a few early movers make the big bucks and all the bandwagoners make shit.

Crap-o-rama dropshipping sites are fungible. So is pussy. The more competition, the less money for everyone.
Rule of thumb: if people are talking about how X Internet thing is great for making money, it's NOT good for making money.

People who stumble onto winning formulas don't share them until the peak passes and they can make money snookering johnny-come-latelys into the pyramid.

Palestinians: "Hello darkness, my old friend..."

Darkness: "I ain't your friend." *leaves*
at this rate the only defenders the Palestinians will have left are a handful of neo-Nazis and Syrian Girl
remember when pro-Palestinian activism used to be hip and cool? it was big when I was in college in the oughts

now everyone just wants to forget that they exist

Gonna make the bold stance that Mussolini wasn't a bad guy.

He united Italy, restored its national pride, got its economy going again, and by the standards of interwar Europe, was more accepting of political dissent than other states like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.
"B-B-BUT HE WAS A DICTATOR!"

Almost every country in Europe was a dictatorship or became one during the interwar period.

Even beloved Poland, the invasion of whom was the casus belli for World War II, was a military dictatorship after Pilsudski's coup in 1926.
"B-B-BUT WHAT ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST!"

Mussolini's girlfriend was Jewish and he specifically prevented the Nazis from deporting/arresting Jews in Italy and the territories under Italian control.

Map of United/Greater Armenia. An irredentist fantasy, but does accurately display the extent of settlement before the Armenian genocide. The United Armenia map is prominently displayed at the entrance of the Republic Square metro station in Yerevan.
United Armenia is a fantasy because outside of Armenia itself, Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Samtskhe–Javakheti province of Georgia, there aren't any Armenians left. The Armenian Genocide in Turkey and the anti-Armenian pogroms in Azerbaijan in the 80's and 90's drove them all out.
Moreover, the Armenians are outnumbered. A century ago, the Turkish population was about 13 million, the Armenian population 3 million. Now, there are 80 million Turks and still only about 3 million Armenians. Even if you factor in the diaspora, you get to maybe 5 million.

when Hungary and Poland did this it was called "racist," "white supremacist," and "misogynist"
all of these natalist programs are a joke btw

while they encourage women who already have/want children to have more, they don't encourage women who don't want children to have children, hence why birthrates in Eastern Europe are still low
societal stability is more important than wealth when it comes to birthrates; if people feel insecure (due to a poor job situation, constant social upheaval, moving around etc.), they don't have kids

bribing people to have kids doesn't work because it doesn't solve this problem
