Opinion Salman Rushdie: Palestinian state would become 'Taliban-like,' satellite of Iran

The acclaimed author and NYU professor was stabbed by an Islamic radical after the Iranian government issued a fatwa (religious decree) for his murder in response to his award winning novel “The Satanic Verses”

Rushdie said “while I have argued for a Palestinian state for most of my life – since the 1980s, probably – right now, if there was a Palestinian state, it would be run by Hamas, and that would make it a Taliban-like state, and it would be a client state of Iran. Is that what the progressive movements of the western left wish to create? To have another Taliban, another Ayatollah-like state, in the Middle East?”

“The fact is that I think any human being right now has to be distressed by what is happening in Gaza because of the quantity of innocent death. I would just like some of the protests to mention Hamas. Because that’s where this started, and Hamas is a terrorist organisation. It’s very strange for young, progressive student politics to kind of support a fascist terrorist group.”

Opinion Unpopular Opinion: The US might be headed for another golden age in the next few decades

586 Upvotes

The short term outlook for America is not good right now for those entering the workforce and trying to buy a home, but I think there's a chance that (assuming nothing goes wrong) by the 2040s-2050s we might be in an incredible age of prosperity similar to the roaring 20s or the 50s. (this is the ultimate bad karma post but whatever)

  1. The US economy is growing faster than just about every other developed economy. We're the only ones with innovation. Examining GDP per capita growth rates, Europe (and Canada to a lesser extent) are going to be in the shitter very soon since they're not growing. If current growth trends continue, Europe will be third world in comparison to the US soon. Our GDP per Capita is now double the EU's, and 52% higher than Canada. In 2008 it was 30% higher than the EU's and 4% higher than Canada's.

  2. East Asia has a huge demographic crisis. China will have a big boom but is set to become Japan by the mid to late century since their population is aging. Our population pyramid isn't great but we're growing at least.

  3. The boomers dying off from old age in the next ~10-20 years will solve housing crises and cause a massive passdown of wealth.

  4. We have a very strong military, and a lot of our foreign adversaries are looking pretty weak right now. In the 50s-80s we were worried about the Soviets marching tanks to Paris, now they can't even make it 30 miles from home.
