I like this comparison, it's actually interesting to think about.

Pretty much everyone tends to agree with the scientifical consensus that climate change is coming, whether they are capitalist or communist. The only people who disagree are those who are financially invested in oil, gas, or coal.

In a similar manner, the message that "communism is bad" comes from capitalist regimes that have a financial interest in preserving the status quo. If you want to understand people within a capitalist society, a really good way to do it is simply to follow the money.

Putting Xi and Kim up there but not Biden and Netanyahu in 2023 is pretty wack, honestly.

Cuba needs to do whatever it must to survive the US embargo.

You need to read up on the 13th amendment of the US constitution, and look up how manufacturing works in the USA.

They haven't overthrown any democratic elected leader, the only person they've overthrown was Bazoum.

I'm from France so I can step in here. He's actually talking about the recent ban on the abaya, a long dress that's trending in the middle east and that some women recently started wearing here. Nothing to do with religions.

Also, the ban concerns school students, not government employees such as teachers. So even if the dress was religious, the ban wouldn't be because of "laïcité" (separation of church and state).

Actually, it would be a breach of the principle of "laïcité", because the state shouldn't be able to decide how the citizens can practice their religion. You can't have a separation of church and state, and at the same time a state that mandates which religions are good and which aren't.

Your question wasn't for me. And no, USA should give back all the land they stole from Mexico. And until they do that, it's ridiculous for them to expect Russia to return land that's populated with Russian ethnics to a fascists state that tried to exterminate them before the war.
