Ahhh yes, the iconic Pashtun tribal dress for women, not really seen outside Pashtun culture, which Westerners are told represents Islam, even though most Muslims consider that extreme.
@Rastal Currently enforced throughout Afghanistan by the Taliban regime, though. who Trump cut a deal with in 2019, forcing the subsequent US withdrawal on Biden by weakening the army presence there so much that keeping the Taliban out became impossible.
Remember, this is what TRUMP wanted for Afghan women.

Popular Black Conservative Trump "Loves" Got Outed as a White Guy, Then Nuked His Account

reminder: the Luddites were not anti-*technology*. They were anti-*factory owners firing weavers and replacing them with lower-paid loom workers*. They could have retrained the weavers and kept their pay high, but bosses gonna boss. We are all Luddites today.
The name later became a slur because the bosses won, and used propaganda to hide the history, and because smashing looms is a dramatic symbol, and humans like retelling dramatic stories, not depressing facts.

'We are all Luddites today' - not true. this a generalization even when the term 'Luddite' is vindicated by historical assessment. Of course - even now - many people are opposed to their own value and based on reactionary views they, themselves hold. Also, personally, I do not like being labelled a 'Luddite' when the term has inherited a different meaning - essentially 'an ignorant shitkicker'. Interesting post, nevertheless :)

There was not one but two pro-Hitler Jewish groups, the Association of German National Jews and the German Vanguard.
They were right-wingers who thought the antisemitism was just talk intended to rile up the masses against communism.
Most of their members later perished in concentration camps.
Iโll add that thereโs no link to any poll in the post and the author appears to be talking about Hasidic Jews.

It's still wild to me that it took the nazis forcing "Jews for Hitler" organizations to disband when he'd already had expressed a desire to kill Jewish people. Like, not even in a "this is what close sources report" way but a "put it in writing in his book and say it publically in speeches" way.

... is much more swayed by said crap than those who understand social psychology. Enough to realise we're *all* vulnerable to these kinds of propaganda tricks. Especially when we can't see that the same money is funding the opposite message to target others.

1) WikiLeaks released the Podesta emails one hour after they dropped because they work for the Kremlin.
2) James Comey violated DOJ policy for his Kremlin bosses to announce another email investigation into Hilary Clinton.
3) Trump has been convicted of election interference because he paid to silence Stormy after they became public.
