They basically own 90% of New Bruinswick. Own the largest Oil refinery, one of the largest landowners on the continent, and employ a big percentage of the population in the province.

“They did not just read Ibn Taymiyya. They didn't just read Sayyid Qutb. They didn't just read Hassan al-Banna. They read Lenin, they read Jean-Paul Sartre, they read Fyodor Dostoevsky. They read everything that they could come across as they tried to figure out the future and the way forward and out of that Palestinian impasse."

An interview with Dr. Mohammed Al-Hindi, one of the leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Beneath all the shitposting and memes about the war, the most yea moment i've felt about this was when i was in Cuba earlier this year. I had a conversation with an older russian man, and he showed me pictures on his phone. Pictures of his youth, hanging out with friends, drinking, partying, etc. But, he also showed me pictures of his unit. A ragtag mix of russians and ukrainians. All under the red banner. He showed me a picture of him at a cafe with those same people many years later. 2021. He doesn't know if he'll ever see them again.
