    Victor Orban is also very much not Polish

    Is he European?

    We were talking about popluational trends and statistics though

    Since the collapse of the USSR, the trend towards reactionary religious movements has only increased over time. You can definitely blame this on western evangelicals and Catholics piling into these countries during their brief liberalization phase. But to say Europe lacks a large and wealthy Christian community is to deny what’s in front of your eyes.

    I will explicitly say that I’m talking about “median” population, not literaly the extreme 0.1%

    The extreme 0.1% are the ones with all the money.

    Past that, European parliaments all have their variation on the Christian Democrat Party. The CDU/CSU coalition is currently the largest party bloc in Germany, following the ignominious collapse of Olaf’s Greens. Idk how you win 208 MPs without a plurality of popular support.

    How is China imperialist?

    It helps if you insist the natural state of Chinese territory is a balkinized patchwork of ethnic enclaves fighting border wars “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” style, and the amalgamation of territory over 3000 years of dynastic rule gets dumped on the head of the current government.

    Bonus points if you don’t mention Uyghurs

    Uyghurs are the only Muslim group that the NAFO crowd are allowed to empathize with. And only when they’re local to the Tarim Basin. God help you if you’re a Uyghur living in Europe or Southeast Asia or the United States because they’re not welcome.

    the zenz/ US propaganda

    Mentioning the name of Adrian Zenz, the history of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (and where it gets its money), or any choice passages from the book Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation marks you out as a Wumao Far-Left Ultra-Stalinist Botfarm with cooties and a stupid face.

    It’s sort of a lose-lose game, though. Submit to humiliation and you implicitly endorse it. Retaliate in any way and they get to justify their escalation to violence.

    The Genital Inspector is both the tip of the spear for these fascist sex pests and the cannon fodder for a front-line fight. Influencer culture rewards them for becoming a spectacle of martyrdom when outraged people push back. And the far-right legal branches sweep in behind them to crucify civilians who resist.

    If you look at the Israel-Palestine conflict, it functions in much the same way. Settlers roll up to a Palestinian neighborhood to cause trouble. IDF soldiers stand behind them, filming the scene. The settlers pick fights, break into homes and shops, tear down olive groves, and otherwise act like rotten little shits to everyone in the area. Anyone who confronts them gets jumped by the IDF or shot. Then the B-roll airs under the caption “Insane Palestinian Terrorist Attacks Humble Jewish Vagrant” and Israelis rally behind the settlers while Palestinians have to explain the slanted coverage and doctored media to an incredulous audience.
