Heard someone that appeared to be deeply concerned over the houthi flag on Wikipedia, and that some white nationalist dipshit voiced support for the houthis recent actions.

Can't fight them in the physical world of reality, maybe suppressing their flag on wikipedia will amount to the same thing.

PawParole, this book I'm reading, "War on Peace", has now shifted its gaze to Africa, and I'd be curious what you thought of the general accuracy of this narrative. I have little to no knowledge of this history, but I appreciate any insight you might have.

Even though it cites the loser bryden it seems to be correct. It doesn’t seem to mention that what caused the chaos in southern Somalia / the Islamic courts takeover is America murdering their own allies/the traditional elders of the southern clans which is why black hawk down happened.

They were an insignificant minority that had influence in less than 9 out of 97 courts.

Basically, one of the biggest universities in South Africa has a fraternity with a secret white supremacist "disciplinary committee". Real skull and bones vibes but lamer because none of them are even getting into government anymore.

quote:

The news that Saudi Arabia will allow its first alcohol shop has citizens and foreigners alike mulling one question: is this a minor policy tweak, or a major upheaval?

Sources familiar with preparations for the store disclosed details of the plan on Wednesday, as a document circulated indicating just how carefully leaders of the teetotal Gulf kingdom will manage its operations.

Located in the capital’s Diplomatic Quarter, the store will be accessible only to non-Muslim diplomats, meaning that for the vast majority of Saudi Arabia’s 32 million people, nothing will change for now.
