(genuine question)

What is considered the most infamous display of betrayel in your country, and by whom? Which person in your country is considered the biggest traitor to the country? It could be anything from working as a spy to outright help foreign powers overtake your country. And what happend to that person?

I am strongly opposed to it; the death penalty is a controversial form of punishment in itself, but carrying it out on live television is an act of excessive cruelty—after all, it serves no purpose other than to show a killing.

Hungary guaranteed Putin safe passage for Trump peace talks, ignoring ICC arrest warrant. They are withdrawing from ICC anyway and claim sovereignty means they decide who to arrest.

Should international law override country's right to host diplomatic meetings? Or can Hungary legitimately tell ICC to pound sand?

Warrant is for war crimes in Ukraine. But if this meeting could actually end the war, does arresting Putin help Ukraine more than potential negotiations?

This is a pagoda near where I live. It's called the Longguang Pagoda, located in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, China.

I think mexicans are absolute experts in exploiting the law and in general any kind of system. Mexicans will find a way to smuggle people past the most sophisticated security systems in the USA. The cartels make any other organized crime in the world look like child's play.

While In Italy, which is where I currently live, I think their biggest flaw is that they always think that they are right about everything, and they are often extremely stubborn when you try to prove them wrong, often leading to controversy and endless discussions of justifying oneself, instead of actually finding solutions.

What's the biggest flaw of people in your country?

The closest South Korea has ever gotten to committing a genocide was after the Jeju April 3rd Incident in 1948 when the South Korean government under Rhee Syngman declared martial law on Jeju Island to exterminate rebel forces associated with the Worker's Party of South Korea (남조선노동당).

Unfortunately, there was no way of telling who was a Communist and who was a ordinary civillian, which led to mass indiscriminate killings by the military that nearly wiped out the indigenous people of Jeju until the campaign's end in 1957.

Although investigations into what went down began all the way back during the 1960s, the South Korean government would officially recognize and apologize for the massacres in 2005 under President Roh Moo-hyun. Financial accomodations to the descendants of the victims also began around the same time and continue even to this day.

Although technically this incident isn't considered a genocide, it's the closest South Korea has ever gotten to committing one which is why I'm putting it on the list.

Óglaigh na hÉireann or the IRA was a group who helped freed Ireland in 1918 and in the 1960s to 1990s fought in the Troubles to free the north.

This is President Jânio Quadros, 22nd president of Brazil, between January 31, 1961 and August 25, 1961.

He won with a significant vote, with the promise that he would moralize the country. Therefore, the campaign symbol was a broom.

His government's foreign policy was extremely confusing, see the first photo that illustrates the post: he decorated Che Guevara, despite the country's recurring alignment with the United States.

As he was a moralist, he approved insignificant laws for the position he held: he banned cockfighting and horse racing on weekdays, banned the use of bikinis in beauty contests and banned the use of spear/perfume, a type of drug that was traditional during Carnival festivities.

Instead of issuing orders, letters and other documents, the lunatic preferred to govern through notes, in which his stilted way of expressing himself took center stage.

He was also authoritarian. He resigned from his position in the hope that Congress would not accept it and the idiot would return to the Presidency with more powers. Unfortunately for him, the resignation was accepted.

His resignation threw the country into a tremendous crisis, as vice-president João Goulart was not well-liked by the military and other conservative sectors of society.

This is a map of the Achaemenid Empire, which covered an area of ​​8.5 million square kilometers at its peak. The map is incomplete, however, as it excludes regions such as Eritrea, Crimea, Tunisia, Sudan, Ethiopia, parts of Libya, and the western shores of the Black Sea.

• And an interesting point is that about half of the world's population was in Iran, and slavery was prohibited—2,500 years ago!!!

I really hate it when people keep asking me "Are Palestinian Christians persecuted by the Muslims?" The moment they found out that I am a Palestinian Christian, it's bad faith and Islamophobic question. I never faced any discrimination here as a Christian and I hate it when brainwashed people think like that based on stupid claims they hear from third party source. as a Palestinian of course I am persecuted but not because I am a Christian nor it's coming from Muslims.

And would you look at that, it's Tuesday, Perfect timing.
I know enough about the military situation to be called an "Unreliable source" so if you do have questions about that, also feel free to ask.

I’m Romani myself, and something I’ve genuinely struggled to understand is why racism toward Romani people is still so normalized across so much of Europe. I have a roof over my head, I contribute to society like everyone else, and I’ve never stolen anything in my life, yet the stereotype that Romani people are thieves is still repeated constantly as if it’s somehow acceptable. People will generalize millions of Romani individuals based on stereotypes and then act like it isn’t racism. If the same kind of comments were directed toward almost any other ethnic group, people would immediately recognize it as discriminatory, but when it comes to Romani people, many treat it like it’s justified or “different.”

What makes it worse is how casual and open the hatred can be. I’ve seen people say things about Romani people online and in real life that would get them condemned immediately if they said it about Jews, Black people, Arabs, Asians, or basically any other minority group. Yet anti-Romani prejudice is often brushed off as “telling the truth” or based on “experience.” Entire ethnic groups are judged because of the actions of some individuals, which is literally the logic behind racism in the first place. No one would accept that reasoning for other groups, so why is it accepted for Romani people?

Another thing that frustrates me is how casually people still use the word “gypsy,” even though many Romani people consider it a slur tied to centuries of discrimination, forced assimilation, and dehumanization. People often ignore Romani voices on this issue and decide for us what should or shouldn’t offend us. There’s also a weird romanticization where people associate the word with some “free spirited aesthetic,” while ignoring the actual history of oppression connected to it. It feels like people are more comfortable using stereotypes and fantasy versions of Romani culture than listening to actual Romani people.

And historically, Romani people have suffered enormously in Europe for centuries. We were enslaved for hundreds of years in parts of Eastern Europe, persecuted and expelled from countries, forcibly sterilized in some places even into the late 20th century, and targeted during the Holocaust in what Romani people call the Porajmos. Hundreds of thousands of Romani people were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators, yet this part of history is barely discussed compared to other atrocities of World War II. Even after the war, Romani survivors and families received very little recognition or reparations, and many governments took decades to even acknowledge what happened. It honestly feels like Romani suffering has been historically minimized or erased from mainstream European memory.

On top of that, many of the poor Romani ghettos people point to today did not appear out of nowhere. In a lot of countries, Romani communities were deliberately segregated, pushed into isolated settlements, denied proper housing, denied equal education and jobs, and left in areas with terrible living conditions and little quality of life. Governments and local authorities forced many Romani people into these environments for generations, then society turned around and blamed Romani people themselves for the poverty and conditions they were trapped in. It feels deeply unfair that systemic discrimination creates these situations and then those same situations are used as “proof” to justify more racism.

What also bothers me is that many Europeans will claim Europe is progressive and anti-racist while still openly expressing hatred toward Romani people without shame. Romani communities are still heavily segregated in some countries, discriminated against in housing, education, healthcare, and employment, and portrayed negatively in media all the time. Then people act surprised when poverty and marginalization continue, even though discrimination itself contributes heavily to those problems.

So my question is: why is anti-Romani prejudice still so widespread and socially acceptable in Europe today? Why do so many people continue defending stereotypes about Romani people instead of recognizing them as racist? And why does it feel like Romani people are treated as the one minority group it’s still acceptable to openly hate in modern Europe?

In my country, I would say Lidice.
It was completely destroyed during World War II by the Nazis in retaliation for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.
The men were executed, the women were sent to concentration camps, and most of the children were killed or taken away.
The village was erased from the map.

Even today, it feels like a place frozen in time and grief.

This question is for countries where Islam is a minority religion, but everyone is welcome to chip in with their views.. I don’t wish to stir up any trouble, just want to know the ground realities. I asked this question as I saw a couple discussions on this group lately about this religion.

I'm translesbian (24MtF), I have been openly queer for a while and I have dating my gf for years here (She is also a Palestinian), we are planning on moving abroad and marrying there. I can't live here after experiencing countless hateful incidents even disowned by my family and losing all contacts i had with them. I haven't done any plastic surgeries yet but I have been taking estrogen for a while, I do crossdress all the time though and I got a new feminine name although I haven't been able to change it legally.

Is there a nation or a country in your society that is hated? I understand the hatred of Ukrainians for Russians, but I don't understand the hatred of Poles for us. Those who oppressed the Polish people and divided the Polish lands have already died, I don't understand what the point of hatred is. Are the younger Z and alpha generation more peaceful?
