Since Ariel Sharon, conservative ideologies have been deeply ingrained in Israeli politics, and Netanyahu’s resignation may not bring about a fundamental shift in this longstanding trend.
The political landscape has been characterized by continuity, and despite changes in leadership, the core ideologies often persist. The implications for the lives of Israelis and Palestinians might not undergo a substantial transformation.
Obligatory: Fuck Hamas and Netanyahu
Now, it’s a security concern as these apps can screenshot your device activity. Every classified document opened on his phone might be visible to a third party, possibly even a foreign spy agency. Thanks to Republicans, Russia and China find it easier than ever.

Right-wing ideologies have a pattern of shifting narratives, moving from targeting migrants to trans individuals and, historically, escalating to scapegoating Jews. It’s a repetition of history, infiltrating our tolerant societies with intolerance.
Stop supporting these ideologies at the polls. Speak out online. Don’t stay silent. The right appears stronger than it is when a few vocal individuals and bots freely spread their views online.
The political shift India has undergone under Modi is quite concerning. If the reports regarding the murder of the Sikh leader on Canadian soil are accurate, it’s reminiscent of actions one might associate with leaders like Putin.
Autocrats seem to use the same playbook…
I understand your point, but I respectfully disagree. An internal strife alone doesn’t necessarily lead to military action.
A military conflict involving Taiwan would have global implications, affecting regional stability and the world economy. Xi is fully aware of that and knows that his political power extends only as far as his economy remains stable. Looking at the last BRICS meeting, we see that China is eager to compensate for any economic embargoes with a stable structure and demand from its partners – which, as of today, is still a work in progress.
Furthermore, the Ukrainian war has shown, the West can swiftly mitigate major impacts on its economy (see Germany moving completely away from gas exports from Russia). China is aware of that too and knows that while devastating, the west will work closely together to compensate such an economic distaster and cut ties with China completly.
While the current situation requires vigilance and preparation for the worst, we can at least see that China remains in absolute need of its Western allies, and a military intervention would be a complete disaster, even for Xi.
That’s likely why he’s consolidating power by eliminating political opponents and critics, but history has shown that being blinded by power, as Putin is in the case of Ukraine, leads to devastation.
China still fears economic and military repercussions in the event of an invasion of Taiwan.
As long as its economy is ill due to current factors like inflation, banking instability, and the inflated real estate market, we can assume that a war would be an economic and political shock right now that even Xi might struggle to navigate.
Edit: for everyone disagreeing, every foreign expert is expecting a war, and even the current US deterrence (criticized here as escalation) is not enough for most experts.

The misconception lies in assuming that French people can afford to protest, which isn’t the case. Railworkers and farmers, like anyone else, can’t afford to lose their jobs or miss work. However, they understand that the alternative could be even more devastating.
By organizing and protesting collectively, they have the power to bring the system to a halt, ensuring that the negative consequences are felt primarily by the wealthy and ruling elites.
What exactly does the appointment have to do with the corruption taking place?
A nomination and appointment of judges done by a democratic legitimized party and process is one thing. Still, if those judges are stepping outside the democratic discourse, you can’t shrug it away as “no big deal.”
There are more people voting center and progressive than conservatives in the US. Otherwise, conservatives wouldn’t need gerrymandering and all those other tricks to win elections. So, most US citizens ignore three corrupt justices and their spouses and let them destroy the very foundation of their proud nation?
Protest or organize a nationwide strike and show some real patriotism instead of sticking star-bangled banner stickers on your cars.
Just explain to me as a European: how can a wife of a supreme court justice actively undermine the democracy in the US, her husband rule in favor of their donors and corrupt money elite, and no one, really no one in your country cares or protests against it?
Please take some lessons in being citoyens by the French people.
Honestly, while the humor and memes might seem amusing, it’s important to recognize that this is precisely what they want. By making the situation seem ridiculous, we risk diverting attention from the serious and substantial allegations against Trump.
We shouldn’t allow them to manipulate the narrative and trivialize the issues at hand. Their intention is to downplay the gravity through memes and laughter, while the actual impact on global democracy is a significant concern.
Stay focused on the real issues and their implications.

We are over the edge of no return.
We should stop begging for change and act now. Politics must hurt them with reforms, taxes, and the rule of law.
We cannot stop climate change now, but we can try to de-accelerate by fighting against big oil, corrupt politics, and billionaire newspapers supporting them.
We are somehow still not panicking and see that as a point of no return for climate change. These temperatures are still the lowest ones we will experience from now on.
Hopefully, some ignorant people or even climate change deniers will switch their positions and actually support green policies now.
Scary. The one I found from my city is a medical doctor with a good reputation. Fucking Nazis hiding good.
