The General Political Thread

In fairness, Black History Month is a predominantly American thing, and the blacks have had it the worst in U.S history, maybe the natives could compete but its not like their abuse was was completely intentional.

The Irish had it worse, they were slaves too.

I'm think you're using the word "worst" a little too lightly

Exactly. that's why I used worse.

How does subscribing to a black creator who has nothing in common with those you hear about during black history month (that's what I'm guessing) apart from their skin color help at all? Why do they deserve someone's support just for being black?

[Piercee]

Participation ribbons man, if you are a certain colour or certain sexuality you should deserve more attention cause other groups had that attention before.
Asides from what you produce, apparantly being just different is enough to be praised, which really shouldn't be the case on a site like Youtube.

communist logic

So, looks like Corbyn was likely to have been a paid informant of the StB (Czech communist version of KGB) during the 1980s. Either Corbyn is lying or his alleged former handler is.

For some reason this has yet to be reported by the BBC despite it being a massive story.

Didn’t MI5 say something about this?

Shits going down.

Does the American government have the jurisdiction to prosecute Russian citizens?

Does the American government have the jurisdiction to prosecute Russian citizens?

I believe they can if they’re on American soil but apparently it’s against the Russian constitution to extradite people.

Why would the Russian government extradite their own citizens to another country? (especially when the country in question has sour relations with Russia)

There needs to be a extradition treaty in place in order for Russia to extradite their citizens as well.

Pure delusion tbh, it's almost comical that it's gotten to this point.

Yes they wouldn't but I'm just saying that even if they wanted to it's legally against their constitution, treaty or not.
