Hates "communists" like Stalin
Wants dictator, Stalinesque photo.
Hates ISIS, wants ‘christian’ ISIS at home
Their problem with daesh isn't their politics or methods, just that they aren't Christian.
Nor white
Oh that’s so not true. Vast majority of Arabs, especially in Syria, Iraq, Iran, and that region in general identify themselves as Caucasians/white
They can classify themselves whatever they want but trump people certainly won’t
You clearly haven’t met many Mesopotamians or Persians.
I absolutely have. You missed the point
Anyone who's been to the region can attest to this. While I was in iraq and kuwait most people I saw would be considered "white". The only exceptions are people who work outside under the sun because tans exist.
Here is a picture of Shayma Qasim an iraqi beauty queen. I'm dutch/irish/italian and I'm darker than her and considered white.
C'mon back in the day even the Irish weren't considered white and they are some of the palest mf around.
Evidence #35910 in the case of race is a social construct.
I'm afraid it's the same evidence over and over. Not sure what, but we have to be doing something wrong.
Back in college I had a few Iraqi, Syrian classmates (great fellows by the way). They used to always identify as Caucasian race every time the question would arise
I mean, it's literally in the name. The Caucasus region is in the general vicinity of a lot of predominantly Muslim-Arab countries (in modern times, of course). One could argue that they have more claim to call themselves Caucasian than most white Americans do because it's really doubtful that the majority of the white-skinned people in America who do identify as Caucasian actually bothered to trace their family origins all the way back to the Eastern Europe/West Asia region.
I 100% thought Caucasian was just a fancy/politically correct word for "White" when I was growing up until someone educated me more on it.
You open for feedback / alternative viewpoint on one particular part of your comment?
Just a friendly internet stranger helping others reduce micro-aggressions in their everyday language.
Edit: what's with the down votes..I'm literally asking for consent to give feedback on something in the post instead of just jumping to the worst possible interpretation / most uncharitable way of reading what someone says.
I.e it’s not a method that puts them in control. You can very much bet if things were more Islamic here that’s exactly what they would be pushing instead. It’s not about god, it’s about control.
For the politicians and leaders sure. For the rank and file useful idiots like those pictured? It's tribalism, and the tribe is very much Christian.
They don't hate ISIS, they're just envious.
The most telling part of all of it was from Trump's first term where they interviewed some one who was upset with Trump and the response was "he isnt hurting the people he is suppose to"
They dont care because they will believe they are the good ones until they are against the wall
Even then...
This, but also:
Frequently claims to 'not watch the news' and/or 'is not interested in politics'
Almost exclusively acts in ways that are motivated by desire for attention, moreso than any kind of logical basis
The one thing people that say they're "not into politics" or "don't like talking about politics" looove not shutting the fuck up about is politics.
They hate what they've been told to hate, and love what they've been told to love. Any similarities or differences between the two are irrelevant to them - they don't even think to look. These aren't people exploring their options and picking what looks best to them, they're just doing what they're told, and thinking they're smarter for it.
You’re my cake twin! Happy cake day.
