I love this channel, but sometimes I wish he was willing to just hide behind a sheet of plexiglass and let some of these contraptions tear themselves apart

This is an Internet forum, not a party congress.
I am relishing in the terror.
Spork would fit right in with the Anarchist polycule alongside Branch, Leaf, Bread, and Sock
The charities Imouhagh International, Kel Akal, Diaspora of the United States, and the Azawad Solidarity Association accuse them of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Sounds like the the organizations complaining are mostly for the Western diaspora. Just makes me think of similar orgs for Ughyrs or Tibetans or w/e that are solely made up of people who work for the U.S. government or NGOs it funds.
I'd like to hear what the Tuaregs actually living in the area think.
They don't believe it's wrong to assault women; they just believe they're their women to assault.

It is lib shit, but at least it's "Liberals being Liberals" and not "Liberals scolding leftists for not being Liberals"
Al-Queda-led Syria and the Gulf Monarchies is not "Almost the entire Arab world". Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen did not support Israel, Bashar would not have. Algeria is too far away to matter but they did not.
This is the essence of "meeting people where they're at", though. You are not going to turn a significant percentage of the white middle class into disciplined Marxists. The material conditions don't exist for it.
It's like, I'm in the PSL and we organize a lot of protests. Our local Indivisible branch is pretty cool as far as Libs go - they're willing to work with us, they're willing to learn, they're pro-trans rights and lean towards Palestine (but Indivisible at the national level forbids local branches from doing Palestine stuff because they're full of Zionists). And they have thousands of members, in a relatively small city.
But recently they've been expressing anxiety to me about liability - that they haven't been able to get event insurance for their protests, that they're being told they need insurance to get permits, that they believe in going through "the proper channels" especially because we live in a Democrat city. They're worried about prosecution or lawsuits because they're professional-class boomers, they have qualifications (legal/medical/engineering/etc.) that can be taken away, they have houses they could lose in a lawsuit, they have kids and grandkids to take care of.
It comes down to material conditions. The more I work with them, the more empathetic I try to be - they're doing what can be expected of them wrt their class position in society. They're not Marxists but they're never going to be.
I agree, but -
The thing about Age of Consent laws is that a case will never stand up in court unless the victim testifies. Even if a 50-y/o man is sleeping with a 14 y/o girl, it's practically impossible to prove criminality unless the victim testifies in court against him (and even then, there's a good chance that the judge will throw out the case anyways).
I think men that are paranoid about the legality of age gaps in relationships are either (1). Worried because they are taking advantage of young girls and think they would testify in court against then given the chance, or (2). Are more worried about what their social circles would think of them than a court of law.
