Man, I don't know if shagging little boys is a good value

Being a decent human beats being a good believer by a mile

I mean, if you don't propose incorporating the church into people's lives, just the faith, then I get you

Yeah, fair

Same tbh

Yeah, because they have been affected by material life to the point where they don't even need their parent faith to be considered common sense

And by all things sacred, we kinda need common sense these days

Preferably by the truckload

One thing people forget about Norway is that it's rich as hell off its fossil fuel amounts per capita

Their system won't work as well in poorer countries

@Stefan Payne That's Finland :^))))))))))

Except for a real danger of accidental incest, I hear

Death penalty can work if used very sparingly, but for sure fuck executions when conducted in a country that has religious institutions merged into the government

Well, I mean, what else are they to do, lament it? Creation of modern Israel was something they had no say in, after all

Sure, and at the time Israel was created, what was the ratio of muslims versus jews in the area?

And the way the creation of Israel was handled sure didn't help things

"country here, jews here, everyone settle your problems yourselves now"
t. countries outside of the Middle East carving up territory of the Middle East

Sure they are, and they've got no excuse

`While the west close their ears and reason their way out of dealing with that ideology.`
That's a weird way to say Israel has powerful allies

Not mentioning nuclear tech that got fed to them

That's how you keep the borders more or less in the same place and freeze conflicts, yes

What do you propose otherwise, carve up the Middle East further?

Build a wall, maybe?

Israel was created out of thin air, your point?

The region is in a shit situation, and it's good enough there's not a hot war going on

`Israel is Jewish people returning home after thousands of years of exodus from their nation`
And pretty much settling on lands that have been populated by not jews for a good number of centuries. I get the claims, sure, but I wouldn't be happy if someone placed a family into my house because their several centuries old predecessors lived where my house now stands

They have operational nuclear armaments. They aren't on the verge of getting wiped out in the next half a century

@Dusty Morgan Israel's active military stands at 176.5k compared to Saudi Arabia's 227k. Count in the difference in population and understand how much more militarized Israel is.With reserve personnel counted in, Israel's army *outnumbers* that of Saudi Arabia by over 2.5 times

So please don't paint Israel as some kind of a poor bullied high schooler

But is it gay to like traps? 🤔

Reverse traps are hella gay, but only if you're a woman, change my mind.

SELL LOW

Dalai Lama is a full on literal Hitler, yo

Tbqh it can be understood when people are running from war, as in the case of actual Syrians in the early years of theirs, but even then, no one is under an obligation to invite them in

Don't they have billboards that say "We know you have a TV"?

To put pressure on you to pay the TV tax

`I honestly don't think you can have a functioning democracy without freedom of speech.`
You can, but there's no point to having one like that.

Democracy is pretty literally mob rule, so to have a democracy, you technically only have to have fair elections. Everything around it can be rigged to hell and back

So are you a fan of small anarchic communities? :^)

A well intentioned system of coercion is a labor camp

Take from that what you will

I mean, labor camps did wonders for the industries, that's for sure, but if morality is your goal, then they sure aren't for you

Free market never managed to be as quick at growth as labor camps :^)
The point is, with labor camps you don't care about regulations or anything, you can gear them for a result and just throw man-hours at the problem. They exist to go from point A to point B quick and with a guarantee, not to float high with minimal expenditures

Coupled with any totalitarian government, they produce huge productivity spikes. The problem is that you run out of people eventually, and those that remain are exhausted to hell and back

Oh yeah, and you run out of clear goals too, given time

That's the fundamental flaw

Modern ones, maybe

It's always paid in man-hours though

Even if no money is involved

And that's a very finite resource

Regardless, communists managed to electrify a pretty huge country, drive its literacy rates from 25% to slightly under 90%, and build a metric shitton of heavy industry, all in ~20 years. No free market would be able to do that

I'm not calling it a universally superior system, as you've noticed

We are on the same page

They didn't change the economic model after the war. Lenin had something like the chinese model in mind from the beginning (or rather, the Chinese were smart enough to read his stuff and realize he had a better idea about economy than others), but his way probably wouldn't have withstood WWII. After WWII though, the country desperately needed a change in its economics and political course

XX party congress did introduce some political change, but no one had any idea what to do with the economy anymore, because they unironically believed it was fine to run it like that

And of course, with every decade, planning got less and less effective, because it never adapted to the changing tech and other realities

It has no reason to in a planned economy

Speaking of communists and modern day ones as well, did you know that at some point genetics were off-limits in the USSR as not fit to the ideology?

Kinda reminiscent of what's happening these days in the West, don't you think?

Yep

Cybernetics were even called, and I'm almost quoting here, "a colonial belief"

(Despite there being ongoing research in closed-off facilities)

You can easily see the similarities down to the language used

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernetics

No idea how to call that field of science more accurately in English

The point is, compare that to the calls for "decolonisation of X science"

Thanks

It only came up as an issue in the media. Real research was going on, but without public knowledge

Oof, that mobile internet

Oh, ideology was omnipresent back then, judging by accounts and newspapers

It's supposed to be a market, but sure, I get you

That's simply because they have to follow financial models or risk collapsing the whole country

Since there are bound to be shortages in goods should you just ignore economic theory

Anyways, specific areas of history aside, please don't let idiots taint science with ideology. We've tried that, and it worked like shit

Whoa, holy shit, it's actually happening

What happens to the Irish border in case of a no-deal though?

Surely no one would opt for a hard border

Anime girls that try to pass for anime boys. Like a trap, but the other way around

How can sex be real if our waifus ain't real ;_;

>learning English through advanced journalism
Ah, so that's how the Verge got that computer specialist

Shitposting or dank memes :^)

Yeah, midway joiners are like that. Had a few come into our class from cities way deep in Siberia after 3.5 years of physics, and their mileage varied a lot

Two dropped out, one became a big figure on the student council, one actually opened his own business a year in on top of near perfect studying

Nice

`in fact, we could even tell it's abnormal if 90% of dogs were born with three legs`
That's the definition of normal though, granted it happens for long enough

Keyword: started. If it was happening for long enough, as I specified, it would be perceived as normal.

Here's a hot take: internet wasn't normal a couple of decades ago

Norms can be bent. Give SJWs enough time, and your grandkids will take them as normal

@Mimi I mean, if it offends them so much they're literally shaking right now, sure

Coming from a country that's likely suffered most from the communists (in absolute numbers), can't really see the comparison

@Misomania No shit, the entirety of USSR had all of these things

Eh, I'd say one managed most of its dirt inside the country, while the other was focused on "cleansing" things outside of their own borders. That's about sums up the difference

Also, I'd appreciate a link @Misomania

Oh, Katyn, yeah. That happened all right

Also, pre-1941 soviets didn't exactly liberate anything from the Reich, if we're being entirely correct

Oh come on, didn't Hollywood tell you Japan wouldn't have surrendered without the USA?

Okay, this
