Do you believe Gen Z is becoming more racist and Nazi than previous generations?

Scroll on Instagram or TikTok for an hour and you see pro Hitler and pro Holocaust content with 100k likes, and the comments are all racist conspiratorial dogwhistling.

There are also many videos made by Gen Z YouTubers about Indian or Muslim immigration ruining the West, or black crime rates, talking about race “fatigue.”

Additionally, in gaming chat rooms homophobic, sexist comments and slurs are commonplace, with most gender minorities afraid to speak out

These countries have signed a mutual defense pact that is technically the same as NATO’s article 5. This seems to be aimed at Pakistan vs India, Saudi vs Iran, and Turkey vs its Levantine neighbors

What do you think of Carlsons’s new 10-point manifesto? Which do you agree/disagree with ?

  1. Fair: The same rules should apply to presidents, federal agents and elites such as Jeffrey Epstein, whose impunity Carlson cast as emblematic of an "Epstein class" enriching itself through a corrupt system.

  2. Sovereign: Carlson claimed Israel pushed the U.S. into the Iran war through "bribery or threat or both," while describing foreign lobbying, corporate control of government and high-interest debt as forms of "slavery."

  3. Productive: America should rebuild farming, manufacturing and craftsmanship while rejecting an economy dominated by finance, real estate speculation, surveillance systems and weapons.

  4. Beautiful: Carlson alleged that urban planners deliberately "uglified" American cities, and portrayed brutalist architecture, graffiti, public drug use and violent crime as deliberate attacks on the public.

  5. Healthy: Carlson embraced RFK Jr.'s food agenda, called for universal sobriety and said widespread use of drugs such as Xanax, Adderall and SSRIs had left Americans "half-addled."

  6. Honest: Government officials should be punished for lying to citizens, and most classified records — including on the JFK assassination and 9/11 — should be opened.

  7. Optimistic: Carlson argued that having children is a biological imperative and the foundation of long-term thinking, while blaming aging and childless elites for policies that disregard future generations.

  8. Wise: Schools should teach how the physical world actually works and what he called unchanging facts about human nature — including innate differences between men and women — rather than credentials, screens and technological fads.

  9. Decent: The U.S. should apologize and pay restitution for killing noncombatants, reverse Trump's "Department of War" rebrand and stop funding allies that commit what Carlson called genocide, citing Israel.

  10. United: Carlson called for halting immigration until the effects of AI become clearer, ending benefits for undocumented immigrants and making English the sole language of federal documents and ballots.

Do you believe the US/CIA was behind the regime changes in Syria, Pakistan, and Bangladesh?

Assad was a staunch thorn in the side of the West, but in 2024 he was overthrown by Islamist militants. The new government promptly restored some ties with the West while sidelining Russia to an extent. Many right wingers claim this was a plot by Western agencies and NGOs to endanger Syria’s Christian minorities, who were protected by Assad.

Imran Khan was prime minister of Pakistan and had a tense relationship with the US, while fostering goodwill with Russia and China. In 2022 he was ousted by establishment parties, replaced by a military government that improved relations with the US and started shipping military aid to Ukraine. Imran Khan claimed Washington was behind the coup.

Sheikh Hasina ruled Bangladesh for over a decade and was seen as authoritarian, secular, and pro-India. After her overthrow in 2024, a more Islamic-leaning democratic government came to power, and reports of attacks on Hindu minorities surged. Hindu nationalists claim this was a plot by the US/CIA to weaken India and endanger Hindus. Sheikh Hasina’s home minister described it as “the perfect CIA plot.”
