yea but who is that 50 year old man

anarchist?

you dont know what connections he has back home

Why anarchist?

Primarily because I'm against technocracy

situations like this only reinforce it

Yeah, censorship.

Pushing political ideals.

Not desensitising people to political opposition and building tolerance / understanding to it only leads to more intolerance, political division, civil unrest and probable civil war.

You have got to say, America is not too far from Civil War.

Sometimes I feel that way, but I think people are too scared

I think peaceful secession more likely

The 'tough guys' are full of shit, on all sides.

eh

Splitting up into 4-5 countries would be better for everybody

This man works with the father.

Again, this is not a complicated political or strstrgical issue

that's what you think from the outside

It's what religion taught them

and it's what they're doing.

be prepared to be surprised

hmm. what about the rapid destabilisation and lack of centrality of defence and government?

Nah, you're assuming it has to be co.plicated, because you can defend d the practice that way.

the states could keep a military alliance, like nato

what's going to happen when Russia or China comes around?

I'm not a muslim nor religious

I would be a TERF if i were a woman

US has to accept multipolar world, nothing we can do about it

Have you heard of Ockham's razor?

I have

So there you go.

There goes what? An outsider's opinion on complicated family dynamics?

There goes the idea of them being involved in some super complicated shit that you and O ca not possibly hope to grasp

when there is a perfectly fine answer right yhrtr

It's not super complicated at all

there

in their fundamental religious views.

It is in comparison to "that's what they were taught".

yea 'perfectly fine answers' sound great until you have to interact with it first hand, like we had to when GWOT started, especially in places like Afghanistan and dealing with tribes like the Pashtun which while they have some horrendous practices, also have some valiant ones

you get honor killers on one hand, pashtunwalli on the other

But this is not the case. You're not dealing with tribes. And you're not in a warzone.
