Not as a title, but if i recall correctly, the first first article of the old constitution states that the Syrian Arab Republic is a Democracy. Also for what it’s worth, the Baath party was also officially “socialist”.

The lack of a monarchy isn’t enough to qualify as a republic, the people need to also hold some sort of power.

and Baathist Syria was totally a democratic republic

from a linked article

Victims include a landscaper snatched in a Home Depot parking lot in Rialto and held for days despite his son’s attempts to show agents the man’s U.S. passport; a New York resident locked up for more than three years fighting deportation efforts after a federal agent mistook his father for someone who wasn’t a U.S. citizen; and a Rhode Island housekeeper mistakenly targeted twice, resulting in her spending a night in prison the second time even though her husband had brought her U.S. passport to a court hearing.

kinda hard to believe they’re just mistakes, if the article to be believed.

Why would being self serving and old disqualify him from being a dictator?

He’s behavior so far seems consistent with dictatorship. Disregarding laws, undermining democracy, promising protection for those who fall in line and retribution for those who don’t, surrounding himself with yes-men… and I could go on for a while

well, this segment of the working class are selling obvious scams to their audience, so its a funny ironic justice. People like Linus from LTT, only stopped because he found out they are scamming him as well, not just the audience.

An Armenian news website citing some telegram channel on news about Turkey. yeaaaaaah, sounds legit /s

What’s with this black and white mentality? They’re absolutely leaches, but that doesn’t fully define then. They are probably other things as well, that are hopefully good.

I’m failing to get my point across, so I’m bowing out of discussion. However I understand your point, and partially aggree , but mostly disagreed with the phrasing.

cheers

Knights of al-Aqsa mostlikely glorifies Hamas, along with any other faction fighting against Israel.

Panzer Corps probably glorifies Nazis as well.

but it doesn’t matter, as neither of us have played any of these games, nor will we ever. My whole point was about your choice of words for the nazi example.

“knights of al-aqsa” doesn’t have an explicit context, it comes knowledge of current events.

“panzer corps” doesn’t have an explicit context, it comes knowledge of historic events.

Bliutzkrieg Poland: Heroes of the third reich” has a very explicit context. The third reich specifically refers to nazi Germany.

Your example make it seems as if you think defending Al-Aqsa Mosque is inherently an act of aggression, murder, colonial expansion, and ethnic cleansing.

I’ve played neither games, so I cannot comment about their contents. The second part of your comment is specifically about titles.

“Knights of al-Aqsa”, as a title, does not have the same meaning nor implications of a your example. that would something more like “Bulldozing Israel, Knights of the Caliphate”, eventhough comparing the thrid riech to a caliphate is a stretch.

People missing the point. Politicians care more about fictional Israeli and jewish lives than real life Muslims and Arabs.

The original article is about global numbers, not just the USA.
