Not since discovering that most fanfics are thinly-disguised "Mary Sue" (or "Larry Stu") stories.
I could be wrong, however. It has been a long time since I read one. |

Like I said, it is "Speculative Journalism" at best -- milk and honey for conspiracy theorists and Anti-Zionists. |

Sometimes, the only way to improve morale is to get rid of all the unhappy people. |

The OP's Youtube video -- by Shirvan Neftchi, an Azerbaijani (Muslim) producer -- is what's called "Speculative Journalism" at best, and "Anti-Zionist Propaganda" at worst. Obvious bias is obvious.
Never let a Youtube video do your thinking for you. |

| Good luck with that. When when you're accustomed to sovereignty, being forced to share governance with your enemy feels like defeat. But it's the only solution that can possibly work. . . That's also what people have said about different attempts at setting up Communist states. "Ours is the o... |

Some people look forward to, and even plan for, "marrying up" into a higher socio-economic class.
I have to wonder what part of their spirits, their ethics, or their morals they are willing to surrender to achieve their dreams. |

Fenn,
Your post reads like it was 'written' by ChatGPT or some other AI -- Long, rambling, full of facts, but no summary conclusion.
Please re-write it yourself and get to the point.
Many Thanks,

The OP of THIS THREAD has not even logged back on to this website for over two weeks.
Maybe "Post-and-Run" trollery? Maybe a threadlock is in order? |
