Proudmuslimon Writer and musician Ali Sethi has created an unconventional hit with “Pasoori”

That's not why it failed. It failed because we had an extremely stupid military dictator with racist tendencies that carried out brutal massacres there.

Proudmuslimon Is Crypto Remittances a Scam or Revolutionary?

Crypto for remittances is a great option for us personally. Transferring funds internationally is a mess to say the least, and it only gets worse as the amount you're transferring scales.

Proudmuslimon UK Government Officials Infected with Pegasus

The UK is where the world's dictators and corrupt politicians hide their money. Does that mean you think that the UK should "face the full brunt of Iran/Russia style sanctions"? Take your double standards elsewhere.

Precisely. We don't trust the government or the media at all anymore, and we aren't willing to go fight the elite's war for them.

Proudmuslimon Americans’ views on the war reveal a striking generational divide

Gen Z kid here; my friend group largely doesn't care in the slightest about the war in Ukraine. We think what's happening is wrong, but we don't see the point in doing anything ourselves. The Middle East was bombed for decades while no one had the spine to really do anything about it. We didn't even have the virtue signalers that you see online today. Why should we care when it happens to Europe?

This is all without mentioning the fact that the war exposed a lot of the biases we knew were present in the media- how many reporters just straight up admitted that they care more because the people dying are white this time?

As someone else on this post said, Europe is a rich peninsula with enough money and manpower to handle Russia by itself. If they want American help, they can buy American weapons. America has committed enough war crimes over the past few decades. We don't need to expand that list and further risk the future of this country, which is already looking bleak.
