So what? Even if true (I doubt that it is because business insider is full of shit), compare this to the gazillion people who were banned on Facebook and Twitter over nothing. Truth Social is great!
Fun fact: The flag of the Arab revolt, on which many Arab flags including the Palestinian flag are based, was designed by Mark Sykes to inspire unity and nationalism among Arabs in order to weaken the Ottoman Empire and further British interests in the Middle East.
Even the flags, like the national identities, are Western products. https://image.nostr.build/380fd71e398f08e92a45b7c0e80e0339ba60924801c43aa38c9d915b894ab086.jpg
Miscalculated admonitions
Matt Walsh is a successful conservative media personality, mostly known for starring in the documentary ”What is a woman?”
I don’t follow him on social media but I like Matt, I appreciate his work, and I’m grateful for everyone like him who dares to stick their neck out and defend conservative values in the public square.
But a recent post by Matt, which I only found because someone else had quoted, sounded to me like a miscalculated admonition.
Here it is, followed by my commentary.

First time I’m commenting on this decentralized experience and I love what I’m seeing! As a survivor of Communism (and formerly a homeschooling parent) I commend you so much for this visual approach to explaining the issue. I would only add this: IMHO this is a decent explanation of socialism. Socialism is economic when the leftist utopian agenda only steals money from the productive and redistributes them to others. To illustrate Communism you would have to burn the one bulb, not just cut its roots short.
Communism is terrorism. It’s bloodshed. It goes beyond unjust taxation. It demands slavery or near-slavery type of obedience from the conquered “haves” to the conquering “proletarians”, who always end up becoming filthy rich and powerful.
