Looks like the Bougainvillean independence referendum should go as planned next year, as the referendum question has finally been confirmed.

 

Do you agree for Bougainville to have: (1) Greater Autonomy (2) Independence?

So Denmark suspects a Norwegian with Iranian background to plan an assasination on the leader of a Danish group of Arabs wanting autonomy in Southwestern Iran, after which the Norwegian-Iranian was arrested in Sweden. There is just too many countries and regions in this one case, I am confused  

 

not a Danish group actually. but a terrorist group which exists in Denmark

 

to me it just doesn't make sense. why Iran wanted to do such thing specially at this time, they know the current situation. this is probably, in a strategic sense, the worst time possible to conduct this sort of thing, those terrorist groups have no support inside Iran and it's not like the Iran regime is afraid of them. and beside that killing one person doesn't make a change. but then I know politics is too much complicated in Iran, it's possible that some of the more confrontational elements of the regime have been authorized to pull this stuff off to undermine the moderate elements, the current government. but even for them it doesn't make sense, specially right now.

Bolsonaro isn't even sworn in yet and already Brazilian sports federations are preparing for the worst, because funding is most likely going to be cut very short from next year on  For example no special bonuses anymore for winning South American championships and stuff like that.

"Fly a flag" sounds like those nationalists who need to have flags in their garden and everywhere and salute when they see their flag anywhere and sing the anthem every morning and make children start their school days by reciting some national verse or something

Prager U is seen in the US as the FOX of YouTube. That said they’re videos are interesting, but are still generally biased towards conservatism. They don’t present both sides of the argument well. 

 

Also, a side point. Literature, comedy, cinema will always lean left because liberal ideology is more suited to these formats. I’m not saying there aren’t good conservative movies or books, but it is called liberal arts after all.
