      “my arbitrary numbers pulled from my ass say that my ethnostate is slightly more democratic than the people we’re actively exterminating with bombs and starvation, and have prevented from having a functioning society. You should support us as a result”

      Do you honestly think that’s remotely convincing lmao

          Sounds like your ass is in lockstep with the US state department

          Actual source: The Economist, a journal that speaks for British millionaires.

          The Economist also at one point argued that Confederate victory would result in abolition faster than a Union victory. But don’t worry they totally supported abolition they were just really worried that it wouldn’t get done fast enough.

              I don’t need some stats to point out that it’s an apartheid settler state. You were bringing up the stats to deflect from criticism. Having the trappings of votes and parliament doesn’t change the material reality.

      I mean… The USA is far from democratic so it’s not as if it was a great example to follow?
