Arab spring happened because of soaring food prices.

I didn't want to jinx it, so I didn't mention it, but I was bullish on glimmer (GLMR) (Dot ecosystem) for the past few days. Now I am uncertain. So don't copy trade this, I could be selling.

War crimes is an iffy subject. From what I see, it looks like the Russian side is more professional, while the Ukrainian side is using civilians and other methods that have been outlawed. So not sure.

@cow @GemState Russia is slowing things down on purpose. They are doing a military + diplomatic strategy. If the talks break down, they will sweep it up in a millisecond. They are giving Ukrainian leadership time to agree to Russia's terms.

@Abdalla If you don't think so, test it out: Buy a Ushanka, put a Russian pin on it, walk down the high street in your area, and you will be spit at if not beaten up in no time. :dead:

Some guy in my street got the Ukrainian flag out waving in his garden. White Western Liberals love this Ukraine shit. Seen nothing like it before.

Liberalism (West) vs Techno-Authoritarianism (Russia, China, some others). Hmmm, another ideological battle in the making like between Communism vs Liberalism of the 1900s. Same players again.

This is more like a diaspora forum than a strictly Somali one. I guess any ethnic minority living in the West would have a lot of overlap with us. I would like to see other diaspora dominated forums. There is this Kenyan forum, but most of them live in Kenya.

So I analyzed the election results of Russia going back to the 90s. Basically only two groups that stand any chance: Communists Conservative Ultranationalists. Surprisingly the communists are still popular and I think their electoral results are likely suppressed. Gun to my head, I would...

I have noticed Mediterranean people look more like Northwest Euro boomers as they age. For example, look at Bernie Sanders, now you would believe he could be Scottish, but when you look at his pictures in his youth the Semitic is more visible.

I used to think bitcoin was merely a joke currency for making money, but now I seriously think it has a chance as the neutral monetary platform used by all of the world.

Why.. oh.. why.. Always :faysalwtf: Vladimir Zhirinovsky Just checked, only half Jewish though, and in Russia the identity as Russian is more like American. Not a strictly ethnic identity, but more a national one.

Lol, this would be #1 in Somalia as well: Social conservatism Economic interventionism Anti-neoliberalism Right-wing populism Somali ultranationalism Pan-Somalism

In 1993, they were #1 in Russia's first democratic elections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Russian_legislative_election Holy shit. :mindblown: So they represent the Russian spirit the most if Putin didn't supress them. :faysalwtf:

This political party is a misnomer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Democratic_Party_of_Russia Basically like the word Democratic in North Korea's official name.

Funny and scary at the same time:

Congrats, More evidence that clans are real, so even if you don't match a clan at a higher level, one almost always does at a name lower down in the abtiris.

Russia is promoting Orthodox Christianity. The only way to raise fertility rates is by having a very religious population. Communism made them atheist and this resulted in super low birth rates. Western Liberalism (EU) also makes people atheist and results in super low birth rates. If Putin's...
