(except Islamophobia, I suppose).
The Ayatollah certainly hates sunnis more than Trump or Kirk.

Iran funding people who shoot at Israel is well within the normal rules. Iran did in fact start it with the shots at Israel, however, and they've been going tit-for-tat for months.

Which parts of the US? Because off the beaten path you can definitely find the hero-cultism of military service, ubiquitous open carry, highly visible cops, Trump cult of personality, American exceptionalism, etc.

Generally feminism is a class-interest movement for urban, educated, professional women in the west. That's why they don't tend to care very much about things like sexual assault in the military, third world oppression, grooming gangs, etc., but care a lot about college campuses or US men's only spaces.

Isn't there another round of uprisings and protests going on right now?

You didn't get a 'militarized manifest destiny frontier society' vibe in the US?

Feminism is an instrumental criticism of fundamentalist Islam for American political conservatives. It is rightly seen as an instrumental criticism by people who disagree with American conservatism, but wrongly seen as 'not worth worrying about' by them. Women actually do have few rights under Islam.

Iran was always going to be important for Chinese contingency plans for dealing with a blockade of the strait of malacca, though.

Romans usually used a mole- which would prevent negotiation after it was completed, just the same. A ram reaching the wall is, like a mole reaching the wall, the end product of a lengthy process.

This is a near historical universal- Rome didn't negotiate after their final siege assault was ready.

I expect it to go thé way of The Learning Channel. In all things there must be balance.

But didn't these Kansas transgenders have warning that the law was going to go into effect?

I presume you can point to examples of people in 21st century America suffering violence for gender non-conformity? C’mon man, you know this place. If your claim is ‘dudes in a dress get beaten up for wearing a dress and not for being trans’ then provide some evidence that dudes get beaten up for wearing a dress.

Animal planet has gone the way of the history channel, though- it’s mostly reality shows, with a smattering of lunacy, and a minority of actual animal-related content.

Haven’t the actual leaders mostly stayed in Lebanon? I know Samir Geagea has, despite assassination attempts and prison sentences.

You can just call yourself doctor, nobody cares. You can't suddenly start practicing medicine or teaching at a university, but nobody will stop you from calling yourself that.

They are wrong, for the simple reason that everyone in place to piggyback off of his martyrdom is much more competent, and with the possible exception of Rubio also much more ruthless and power hungry. But democrats are optímates and incapable of thinking that way.

Conservatives do write decent novels, all the time. Literature awards go to black women wokeing out all the time, but lit fic hasn’t been good for a while.

Ok, but current literary authors people actually read seem about evenly split right/left- it’s just that lefty authors get more accolades.

You also need a -cide, which isn’t in evidence.

On the other hand, ‘some college’ requirements are reasonably common and working your way up is definitely allowed in those places. They tend to be shitty jobs to start with, but still.

The big firms require a degree as part of the advancement process, presumably to filter out people incapable of getting one, but usually overweight previous experience with the company compared to degreeholding even so.

I mean how many of them are Canadian and unable to register with any party?
Terminator two had a plot such that making a sequel necessarily creates a plothole. It was a neat, tidy self-referential loop... which renders the whole plot irrelevant.
