The True “Norms” of Most Muslim Countries; Per US Veterans

 

 From Cynical Publicus:

The community that is most vocal in warning about the Islamification of the USA is the “war on terror” veterans’ community. That’s because we saw things with our own eyes that are hard for others to believe:

1. The treatment of women as chattel property. Goats are treated better than daughters—no exaggeration.

2. Widespread pedophilia and bestiality while at the same time people we call “LGBTQ+” in the West are subject to barbaric methods of execution.

3. An absolute lack of freedom of religion.

4. Wanton disregard for human life.

5. Insanely paranoid antisemitism straight out of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

6. Wholly corrupt governments; bribery as a uniform standard.

7. Tribalism to an extreme: tribe trumps truth and justice, always.

8. In the Gulf Arab countries, “Third Country Nationals” from poor Muslim countries engaged in menial labor and literally treated as slaves.

9. Absolute confidence that Islam will violently conquer the rest of the world, and a belief that this is just and proper.

10. Acceptance of the idea that lying can be and is necessary and proper.

Oh Boy, Dem’s “DSA” Candidates Support Full-On Communism for America

 From DSA Program: Worker Deserve Better

 

 Imagine taking a day off from work in a future without capitalism.

It might not feel as badly needed as it does now. You enjoy your work; it’s interesting to you, and you’re well trained for it. You work as much as you are able and no more than needed, and you would control your own labor and see it going to good use. It’s not just a job to pay the bills.

Speaking of bills: you don’t really have them anymore(!!)

You have no debt. You don’t need health insurance. You don’t pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation aren’t for-profit businesses; they are common goods and utilities.

OK, enough about bills. What do you do on your day off? Maybe in the morning, you walk your kids to school, run errands, or go to a doctor’s appointment. In the afternoon, you might play a sport, practice a new skill, read, plan a trip. In the evening, you could meet up with friends or family and eat together, maybe go to the movies or down to the park.

These are all familiar, everyday activities. A socialist day off could be like any good day now. But what if you were free to spend your time how you like without worrying about cost or dreading going back to work? What if you didn’t have to think about paying rent or loans at the end of the month, or saving for college, or affording groceries?

It’s been said that it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism. But just because it isn’t easy to imagine now doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to make it happen.

Workers deserve more.
