Especially them.
Yeah, but only one of degree.
Iran isn’t directly mentioned. Vague terms like “the North” appear, and historically many American evangelicals have identified the USSR with it, because that was the geopolitical bogeyman of the day. I’ve had older evangelicals insist to me that Russia borders Israel as a result.
Iran’s more plausible than Russia, but if we pretend for a moment it’s not all some desert guy’s mushroom trip it could just as easily be Turkey.
Absolutely not. Demographic data shows it’s shit, income distribution data is best explained by a random walk process (neat graphic explainer here), and all the data on startups and investing show that there’s no free lunch; capitalism actually does ensure everything gives the same steady return on average.
Every rich person won some sort of lottery. Even the bona-fide engineers are never the only ones that could have invented whatever thing - as technical person myself.
Republican Spain and the “Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria” AKA Rojava.
Republican Spain had some communist factions too, but Rojava is explicitly built around a specific strain of anarchism, and is an “administration” instead of a government. I doubt it looks very anarchist in practice, but that’s neither here nor there, and they’re democratic enough the US has endorsed them in the past to Turkey’s great displeasure.
Off the top of my head, 2. One with no UN seat and one long gone, to be fair, but they still exist and are/were sovereign. You can’t say either turned into totalitarianism.
Maybe you could say they would have or will, but that’s just your guess. I could say the same thing about liberal democracy and be equally as well supported.
No. That is not an a known issue with anarchism, for example.
Mandatory “there’s more than one version”. You might think anarchism is also bullshit but it’s not North Korea.
Escalate to what? They’re already doing all kinds of pirate stuff, and I don’t think they’re strong enough to threaten anything else the West cares about on their own. What seems like the obvious Western play would be to keep intercepting attacks from warships for at least a few weeks. It’s more expensive, but would give critical time to deal with all the other, bigger issues in the Middle East.
WTF, the Middle East is a powder keg right now, and they’re, like, setting off a pinwheel on top of it.
So is there another animal that doesn’t bite when infected with rabies?
It’s making an image of someone that portrays them in an unrealistic and offensive context.
