How many whites are there in Pakistan's government? My guess is ... none.
The double standard is astonishing. Scotland was a country founded and populated by, exclusively, white people. Of course most of its government officials are white ... just as most, if not all, of

If one repeats a lie often enough, some percentage of the population will believe it, no matter its absurdity, due to its familiarity. And hence, repetition is a core principle of all propaganda campaigns.

The fact that no one in the West can speak honestly about this issue without being called a bigot or racist will be our undoing. One cannot solve a problem without first accurately describing what it is.

Things to do in the next 23 days:

Now we're talking. Fighting the war in Ukraine allows everyday Russians to treat war as an abstract concept. Once Russian cities start burning the way Ukrainian ones are, perhaps things will become a bit more concrete.
