Risk, religion, geopolitics, and culture. X is for first impressions. Presenter at Lotus Eaters.
By way of introduction, please read this old, personal essay of mine to see why I believe in limited freedom, am sympathetic to nationalism, worry about diversity, and do not trust in tolerance. 🧵 modadgeopolitics.com/p/being-druse
If the home office really has moved coaches of men from the epping hotel to one in canary wharf they’ve basically just locked us into a trajectory of mass protests
I'll never understand how this group follows this war so closely but doesn't admit the true scale of how critical the current situation is. Are you deceiving your followers to maintain a narrative, is it subconscious bias towards Ukraine, or are you just genuinely uninformed? 1.…
Perspective. This is the map from the end of Ukraine's counteroffensive at the end of 2022, vs now in July 2025. The dark red line is now, the lighter one was then. Look at the macro picture. We often have people in our replies going "You're reporting Ukraine losing village…
Following recent developments around Pokrovsk, Ukrainian source Deepstate is now characterising the overall Ukrainian manpower situation as "catastrophic".
Who are "the gay sex addict drug users," one wonders? I suppose, if the rumours I hear are true, that it could be just about anybody in the parliamentary Tory Party.
Great appointments by Kemi I hate my Nigerian tribal rivals Badenoch. Cleverley the last great defender of the Boris-Carrie wave, proud defender of giving soldiers' houses to Afghans, one of the architects (with Boris) of the disgraceful giveaway of Chagos, opponent of house…
Obviously, this is true. But please don't be fooled by Mr Cotton's propaganda either. He's trying to drag the Americans into another regime change war. He has learned nothing.
Iran’s “space program” is nothing more than a ridiculous charade designed to hide their efforts to develop long-range ballistic missiles to attack America and our allies. Don’t be fooled by their propaganda. apnews.com/article/iran-s…

My last interaction with James was: He and some of his friends were discussing how awful it is for people to want to build new houses. I said "no, we need them. People my age can't afford houses". He and his friends then turned to me, looked me in my eyes, and burst out…
If we’re forced to choose between Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims in today’s geopolitical landscape, then as a former Sunni, I can tell you, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second: I would choose the Shia every single time. Hezbollah has devastated Lebanon for over 30 years. They’ve…
In an attempt to intimidate Catholics, Muslims held a “prayer service” in front of the Cathedral in Montreal. This was the Cathedral’s response…
So Kellogg visited weapon production facilities in Ukraine and Russia tracked his movements and then destroyed them all after he left Ukraine. Incredible the naivety of the Americans, once again.
Some people treat borders as Godly creations that happened during the ancient times of Genesis and that if you somehow change them earth will shatter or lightning will strike you Superstition for adults
Protestantism must be understood as the Salafism of Christianity. We know there was civilisation in the West before it interacted with Jerusalem. Greece built the intellectual foundations of the West. It may have borrowed some ideas from Mesopotamia and Egypt, but it surpassed…
Western Civilization began on Mount Sinai.
This is Pope Francis literally sitting in Church Square in Mosul, the heart of the ISIS persecution of Christians, in 2021 A female suicide bomber and a van travelling at high speed with explosives both attempted to kill him during this visit
Have you noticed the pattern in which one Pope after the next will focus on the Jewish state & slandering it, while completely ignoring the actual genocide of Christians in the Middle East including right this minute in Syria?

Delighted to meet our new Shadow Housing Secretary @JamesCleverly today. @consyimby look forward to working with him to get Britain building again! #BuildBabyBuild
The British empire was a boon for humanity. Notice that the only people that complain about colonialism are from places that went downhill when the British left.
Well, Britain shouldn't have invaded, colonized, and exploited every other culture over the past few hundred years. You destroyed other people's houses, so don't complain immigrants are coming to your house.
Common men can defeat Islam again. But only if they have faith.
Yesterday I shared a quote from John Hunyadi, the great Hungarian hero who once declared: “We have had enough of [Islam] … and the mockery of our religion... We shall not stop until we succeed in expelling the enemy from Europe.” Fittingly, it was on today's date—July 22,…
Remember, faith is a choice. You do your part and trust God. And you pray, "Lord, I believe, help my unbelief".
I was born into a hippie atheist family and so had no faith. Became Christian in 2023 when I finally realised that everything true was somehow stated by Christianity. Life is better now.
Ukrainian politicians be like: "why won't you let us send you to certain death and loot your corpses? Aren't you patriots?"
How bad is the reaction to this new law in Ukrainian social media? People are openly calling for demonstrations - not anonymous bots, but relatively well-known figures. It’s the first time I’ve seen such an idea gain support. Not a good sign for Zelensky's administration

This is the problem with the Sunni mind in a nutshell: "we subjugated you, called you unbelievers, and made you second class citizens, but we let you have your own marriage laws. Aren't you grateful?"
The most stable era in the region was when the Ottoman Muslims were ruling it. Dhimmis were integrated, had their own laws and autonomy (millet system). Colonizers and Zionism destabilized the Middle East more than any other power in history, not even the mongols could compete.
