You don't even know the difference between a republic and a democracy. Why do you think you know anything better?

The US has a constitution that is bad (slavery is legal). That's also why it was amended many times. Via a democratic process by the way.

Other democraties also have constitutions which they amend and revise regularly to expand rights and guide legislation.

I guess if we can't deradicalize our own extremists, why do we expect we can deradicalize the immigrants that are islamic extremists.

Indeed, the fact that they filed a patent is also an indicator that this is not purely an experiment, but a tangible way forward. Let's hope this can scale up quickly.

Yeah, duh: making immigrants and politicians the scapegoat works best when people are unhappy with life.

To me it's extremely transparent however that neoliberals and conservatives have defunded and weakened our institutions so they can no longer fulfill their responsibilities. This leads to dissatisfaction which the extreme right blames on immigrants and correctly on neoliberal politicians.

That this leads to women voting for patriarchs, Jewish people for descendants of Nazis and second generation immigrants for racists, is so frustrating.

Meanwhile these people say the same thing about immigrants.

Then there's litterally noone to rely on anymore. Any seemingly actual Left doesn't have power.

I don't know.. democrats always rolled over the past few years and used the increasing crisis as fundraising opportunity.

Keeping these friendships going could combat their radicalization, but I'm not faulting you, I also cancelled friendships over this.

Damn.. belligerent is an understatment at this point. They're outright thugs, encouraged by the protection by the US.
