Average midwest suburbanite is shook that the Arabs are ungrateful for all the democracy the USA brought them.

I bet the producers of this show think Squirrel and Hedgehog brainwashes children.
I understand this, however, this fact does not spare them from discrimination.
At this stage I don’t know how anyone of Chinese background wants to participate in the governments of Canada, USA, Australia and the UK.
Partisans: “vote for who ever they will both get the pit”
In all honesty, I don’t know your cousin and I’m not qualified to answer that. He needs a doctor or therapist. Sadly, there’s not much you can do other than not abandon him. Unless he is willing to making changes and work on himself you cannot force it on him.
Self destructive in the sense he is sabotaging his relationships with others most likely due to some deep insecurity. From the sounds of it, he doesn’t actually have any consistent beliefs other than whatever is the most outrageous, taboo thing to say in order to alienate people around him. He might have some mental issues he is hiding, but I don’t know him… you know him more.
Keep talking to your cousin, cutting him out of your life will further alienate him. He sounds self-destructive. You mentioned in your previous post he is 16, what are his goals for his future?
They’re saying the quiet part aloud. Imagine the gov publicly stating the Iraq war is for oil.
To no surprise, now that there is a new major human rights catastrophy in the middle east, europeans are more worried about refugees entering their countries than the horrors inflicted on these people.
It might help him to get some hobbies/interests outside of politics, gaming and the internet. Does he like sport or music?
Sounds like he is trying to be an edgy contrarian teenager given that he doesn’t seem to have any specific belief other than whatever will cause the most outrage. The more you try to lecture him the more he will push back. Does he have many friends?
That’s too bad, you should have voted harder.
To answer that question first we must understand why environmental activists and union organisers are targetted in the first place. Businesses make money polluting, clearing land etc. They also save money exploiting workers through poor workplace safety, terrible working conditions, low pay etc. It would be an impedance to capital to allow such individual in government to pass laws limiting profits.
In our liberal democractic world, money wins, no matter what the will of the people is or what the long term outcomes are, the owning class wins every time. It’s not as if people haven’t tried voting for the right person in the past. In many countries there already exist Labour parties established by workers unions. Despite this, business interests always win. Sometimes they throw a few crumbs at the plebs to appease them but it’s always big business that dominates.
Another example, remember Barack Obama’s election campaign in 2008? Change we can believe in? Then he enters the presidency and bails the banks out during the GFC and continued the war in Iraq. Coca cola hired paramilitaries to kill union organisers in Colombia. Biden campaigned on climate change action and then approved new gas piplines. I can go on and on.
Answering your question is very hard to do in a short reply. There are many books written about the topic. I recommend the following video: https://youtu.be/fcImfx8tunI?si=FfAJzdCq2qFX2RlI
Also, search the text “vote harder” in lemmygrad, it’s a meme to mock liberals.
Mfw the laws the gov said would be used to catch pedos are actually used on enviromental activists and union organisers.
Just a reminder that most universities have socialist/political activist organisations which you don’t need to be a student to join. It’s a great place to meet like minded people.
Good boy ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
So called innocent civillians.
Good lord… the songs on that channel.
Not sure about metal but there’s heaps of good Balkan punk. Dubioza Kolektiv, Kultur Shock, Brkovi, S.A.R.S are just a few.
