Why the USA of all places? It’s globally known that the USA has very reductionist racial categories. It’s one of the few countries that actually count it in the census and it gives a list of categories to choose from that often don’t include people

I honestly don’t think there is much correlation. The anti-zionist communities I know are some of the most kind towards Jewish people that I’ve been involved in

‘Suck’ is a bit rough. All of Africa (except Ethiopia) has only been independent for around 70 years (some even less) after colonisation. Plus most of Africa had the furthest to go to reach western standards of development, in terms of infrastructure.

People have been blaming change for education levels since thousands of years ago. Ways of thinking and learning are always changing, doesn’t have to be a specifically good or bad thing, just different

Marx wrote before Nietzsche so if anything the reaction was the other way around

What’s locke’s value? He was the key philosopher of settler-colonialism and his Carolina constitution was one of the first to ever inscribe slaves with zero rights where previously the owner had rules of how they had to treat them. Dude was a hardcore slavery/colonialism thinker who developed the idea of terra nullius, that if you’re not building on the land you don’t have the right to own it.

I wouldn’t say he’s the most famous or influential. Plus it depends what you Count as modern. People like Sartre, Camus, Marx, Foucault are probably used more, even if not read more.
I think part of Nietzche’s appeal is his kind of exotic topics, he’s talking about atheism and power and depression in a highly spiritual and fantasy sense as a social outsider. I think a lot of people, particularly young men, might find that appealing.

Eh not really. People fighting in Ukraine are fighting in the name of sovereignty.
People fighting in Spain were specifically anti-fascists, often socialists. They were seeking either a revolution or changed politico-economic system, where Ukraine is fighting to maintain the same system

It clearly doesn’t. Just at first glance 1992-1993 shows an opposite direction
