Nei, jeg er kjøtt og blod og stål og smøreolje som deg

How true is the dead internet theory, in your view?

I’ll ask anyway. Why do companies like bots?

This is bordering on the conspiratorial. The Russians believed they would defeat Ukraine very quickly. They never expected to be in this situation

It’s been seventy years now. How long do you think dead Britons will have more responsibility for and power over India and Pakistan than the people in those countries?

Equal disregard for civilian life on both sides

I disagree. Equal disregard for Palestinian civilians maybe. The Israelis care deeply about their own and would never employ the tactics Hamas do.

Still more dangerous for the IDF and less vengeance-effective than just raining death on thousands of civilians on the off-chance that you might also kill a handful of terrorists that Hamas can easily replace.

Do you feel your description matches the reality of this Palestinian dentist? Are the described actions consistent with callously raining death on thousands of civilians?

In a US style first past the post system the Nazis would have made a clean sweep in July 1932, and wouldn’t have had to intimidate anybody

The comment you’re replying to doesn’t state that Israel has had to do anything, but that their actions have been very predictable. Were you surprised by how they’ve responded?

It is a core feature of most religions that

1. There are hidden forces at work in the world
2. The workings of these hidden forces are more important than the processes we can see, and follow a grand plan

This belief is strikingly similar to conspiratorial worldviews, and the likelihood of subscribing to QAnon and other conspiracy theories rises substantially with increasing religiosity.

They’re not the same thing, but they are definitely related

Alcohol has been a fellow traveller for millennia, so it only makes sense that evolution would give us the tools to survive it

Only through historical social norms it has achieved its acceptability. Were it to be “discovered” today, it’d be banned in a matter of minutes.

Ease of production is at least as important I think. You can’t really ban access to starch and sugar, and as long as you can get those you can make alcohol.

The Council of Mothers and Wives of Russian soldiers shut down after they were labelled “foreign agents” by the state.

Two months after

No it doesn’t. It’s when the Centre fails to hold the fash get in. Modern American Bothsidesism is not what Centrism means at any other time at any other place.
