Not recognizing ICC, regime change, illegal killing of foreign civilians, supporting genocidal regimes, invading other countries, carpet bombing nations, incarcerating their own population, killing eachother in mass shootings, biggest per capita contribution to climate change.

American exceptionalism isn’t doing us any good.

But ooh nooo China, please Europe, fear China… We are your ‘allies’.

I wholeheartedly agree

It was voted for by 6 parties, all of which are considered right wing.

• PVV (right wing anti immigration party)
• VVD (fiscal conservative right wing party)
• BBB (conservative farmers’ lobby party)
• SGP (right wing conservative christian party)
• FvD (right wing QAnon-type conspiracy party)
• JA21 (split-off of FVD)

You could of course argue that this means the center has shifted, and some of these should be considered center. Personally I think it’s just that immigration has been the dominant theme for decades now, and therefor people who would benefit from left-wing economics, now vote extreme right. I don’t think that makes them or anybody else a center.

But it’s got nothing to do with ‘honor’ so it’s okay. /s

Yes, ‘honor killing’ happens at different rates in different cultures, and it being an important factor in Middle Eastern culture could explain a higher rates in these cultures. But I am wondering, do we kill our daughters and wifes less here in the West? Or do we just give up different motives than honor? The US certainly has a very high femicide rate, higher than most Middle Eastern countries. (according to this website. Haven’t found infanticide rates yet.
