One of the things I remember my parents telling me about the old system was a test they made you take very early on in life that was easily 'game-able' if you had enough money for study material/private tutors or if your parents had the free time to tutor you. If you failed it you got sent to the poo poo-tier schools that had zero funding, and it was just blatantly a trick to weed out the poor from education.

its cool cause it basically takes class a given

we need 25% to be employers and 75% to take poo poo for the rest of their life to support capitalism

let's just make it blatant

Hezbollah may be a right wing Islamic organization but they're not fascists. There are Christian and Druze members of Hezbollah.

and there were Jewish members in the Fascist party in Italy.

its an Iranian supported front organization and trying to frame them as anything but bad really fucks up the idea of "fighting imperialism"

The Italian Fascists weren't phenotypically racist, but nationally racist - so of course they would tolerate Italian Jews if they were willing to serve the fascist state.

that's my point

quote:

Islamic fascism would be a movement that wouldn't tolerate any forms of non-Islamic practice, yet Hezbollah defends Lebanese Christians and Druze from ISIS.

They don't control the state yet. But their districts in Beirut are run like Iranian style theocratic cantons. Hezbollah is an extension of Iranian influence and they are fighting against "Sunni" fundamentalists (ISIS), while their brand of fundamentalism is Iranian Shia. So they are in a turf war and they don't want to poo poo in their backyard by alienating their compatriots, for now. But their ideology is at the minimum, Iranian theocracy. That's what awaits Lebanon if they take over.

just read the most basic stuff about HIzbollah and you will find that its like an Iranian version of the Contras
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

quote:

Hezbollah was conceived by Muslim clerics and funded by Iran primarily to harass the Israeli occupation. Its leaders were followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, and its forces were trained and organized by a contingent of 1,500 Revolutionary Guards that arrived from Iran with permission from the Syrian government.


quote:

Saying that they're a front organization is also seriously ignorant. I guess you'd say that the Houthi are an "front organization" too.

look mate, its simple

PKK=good

IRA=good

Houthis with their slogan "God is great, death to the US, death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam" can go gently caress themselves to death

Also, the Ukranian Insurrectionary Army was bad

a guerilla army, or being the underdog doesn't automatically make you the good guy

WikiLeaks lmao. Oh wow Petro Poroshenko met with the American ambassador in 2006, loving mind-blowing revelation there Julian

next up from Top City Homo: a shocking revelation about the murder of Seth Rich that George Soros doesn't want you to know

The U.S. covertly pushed for escalations after a deal was reached for early elections http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26289318

but then banderists and neo-nazis started to occupy regional government offices

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SBo0akeDMY

and then "Yats is the guy"

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957

its pretty clear that the U.S. meddled in Ukraine. They wanted austerity in order to for Ukraine to join the E.U. and fulfill its IMF demands on pension reforms, oil subsidies etc. and Russia was the better choice because it would continue to give them money (15 billion ) and discounted oil/gas. Western Ukraine, probably wanted to be in the EU but the Eastern part and Crimea never did.

It's all part of the long game in Eastern Europe by neo-cons to cordon Russia.

there is no conspiracy, its just US foreign policy. They got rid of one guy and now another guy is in charge doing the same thing. They are just recycling from their list of insiders who will carry out austerity and their foreign interests. Incidentally, the Petro dude is favored because he pushed back in 2006 to install a nato base in Crimea (also in wikileaks).

Citation needed. The president of Ukraine disappeared the day after he signed the agreement. I don't know if RT has you thinking that the CIA had little green men in play in Ukraine or what, but one day is not a lot of time to engineer an escalation. Especially because what happened in Ukraine, as you eventually noted, was a revolution, not a coup. The US, as it is wont to do, provided some behind-the-scenes diplomatic support for anti-government protestors, but that is a long, long, long way away from "sponsoring a coup."

Your whole narrative is bullshit, which you would know if you'd been following events in real time.

the strategy was established back in 93 when Cheney created the cordon against not just the former USSR but also Russia itself. That's why they have been breaking promises to expand NATO the moment the ink dried.

quote:

Robert Gates described the approach in his new memoir, Duty, explaining the view of President George H.W. Bush’s Defense Secretary Dick Cheney: “When the Soviet Union was collapsing in late 1991, Dick wanted to see the dismantlement not only of the Soviet Union and the Russian empire but of Russia itself, so it could never again be a threat to the rest of the world.”


sponsored or not they got what they wanted after spending 5 billion to influence the outcome through a state department neocon slush fund (National Endowment for Democracy)

providing behind the scenes diplomatic support for protestors is another way of saying "coddling right sector neonazi militias in occupying government offices to jettison a deal on early elections and overthrow an internationally recognized democratically elected president."
