Like, all the people in Gaza will be dead if this continues. And then what? Be proud I went out at least? They'd still be dead. We'd all be ashamed and will 'never again' ourselves and continue with our lives. But they are dead.

Be ashamed we didn't do more? What else apart from [redacted, illegal] is there to do?

Doesn't China also occupy a part of Kashmir? How do they relate to this war?

Seems like the news wasn't full of shit a few days ago

I think he is one of the few people we can universally agree upon was a complete nutjob. His coming up is somewhat contested but it seems generally accepted that he was an Israeli pawn used to keep Uganda as a weapons smuggling hub into Sudan where at the time Israel was funding rebel groups.

Do you, like, read any of the other replies here or are you just here to rant?

The ban is made for hijab but I forgot the word so I used a more literal translation for the Dutch word which is headscarves. Though headscarves probably fall under the new measure as hijab wearing people would otherwise be able to say it's just a regular headscarf.

It's because we are going back. Muslims are the scapegoat of the current times, viewed by the whities as the untermenschen. My country is heavily segregated and in this city you can painfully see that. Entire neighborhoods full of white people with almost no migrants and entire neighborhoods full of migrants, muslims, non white people. They rarely come in contact with eachother. The only information these white people get is through the news of through fear mongering politicians. You see it in the vote results.

The area I work in, a heavily migrant area, is a huge marxist party voting area. The area I live in, a mainly white people area, is a heavily anti migrant voting area, despite not even experiencing the perceived 'trouble' these migrant are said to cause (spoiler: it's not that bad duh).

And thus you get entire groups of white people making decisions like the one in the article, not even really including muslim women in their decision making. They make a decision through their white supremacist view and think they are empowering women. The racist idea that muslim women are incapable of making their own decisions and thinking you're doing them a favor by even further policing them is insane.

But that's not the point. The point is that under the guise of neutrality and feminism the choice of these women gets suppressed. I'm all for empowering women and especially teaching young girls at school that they have authority over their bodies and choices but this is not it. You don't do that by banning things but by educating.

This whole thing is distraction, creating problems that aren't there. In my countries some kids are unable to get, for example, math classes for months due to no teachers being available. School results are dramatically decreasing. The teachers that are there are overworked and are constantly attacked by the government. There are actual muslim women not allowed to work only because they want to be able to decide whether or not they wear a headscarve.

All this will do is pushing more muslim girls away from schools like this only to fall into the hands of even more conservative schools where headscarves are allowed. All the while the actual important stuff, like quality of education and teachers' rights, are plummeting. It's a distraction.

And there is no true neutrality in these schools. In a dominantly christian, capitalist and liberal country the education system is a direct result of these ideologies. I was spoonfed anticommunism, liberalism, capitalism, christianity and even white supremacy through this very same school system, despite it claiming to be 'neutral'.

World news might be a bit out there but couldn't find a better place to post.

Basically the province of Eastern Flanders is implementing a ban that would see headscarves be illegal on schools. This will mostly target muslim girls as they are the ones wearing it of course. They will do it to encourage 'neutrality' and some people see it as a feminist act.

Now of course none of these wankers has actually talked to, you know, a muslim woman because they will soon find out that a lot of them actually want to wear headscarves. Or at least have the option to choose.

'We shall prevent policing how you dress by policing how you will dress! We are feminists!'

I used to be in favor of this myself until I actually met muslim women who were against it and their logic is sound: let women decide. Can't argue against that. Simple as.

Good. Some pride parades have become a joke. In my city companies like TotalEnergy, Deloitte, the police are joining the parade.

It's not a parade to fucking pink wash your company or oppressive fascist police force. Fuck you. You are not our ally.

The point being?
