How could you

2018-09-26 06:44:28 UTC  

not much b

2018-09-26 06:44:40 UTC  

It had to be done

2018-09-26 20:58:08 UTC  

A "nation" is often too vaguely or arbitrarily defined

2018-09-26 20:58:20 UTC  

Moreover, a "nation" experiences existential divides within itself

2018-09-27 04:14:22 UTC  

A nation is vague ergo no nation must exist

2018-09-27 04:14:28 UTC  

a bit of a leap, no?

2018-09-27 04:14:50 UTC  

but not too big of a leap for a maoist

2018-09-27 04:45:15 UTC  

a nation is too vague, arbitrary, and meaningless to actually mean anything tangible

2018-09-27 04:45:47 UTC  

ergo, a nation is a meaningless concept which shouldn't be of concern

2018-09-27 04:45:52 UTC  

Other factors are more vital

2018-09-27 04:51:10 UTC  

If we classify a group of people as a nation then are areas where’re Africans live part of Africa

2018-09-27 04:51:28 UTC  

Are all areas where Chinese people live China

2018-09-27 04:51:56 UTC  

Was Saddam Husain not a leader of a nation despite a divided people

2018-09-27 04:52:20 UTC  

Is America not a nation since we don’t have our own long ethnic background

2018-09-27 09:03:22 UTC  

Nation isnt really that arbitrary or vague, when the definition is put to paper it usually is defined with culture in mind and a group that identifies with said culture, but culture is based with ethnicity and as such heritage and common ancestry is implied. Which simply means that you have defined a set group with set values etc. Its actually a very well defined term, and can be used to huge benefit.

2018-09-27 09:03:24 UTC  

@L0GAN There is a difference between nation and land, chinese beyond the boarders of china are part of the chinese nation. However the area they live on is not china.
Saddam Hussein, well it depends on the ancestry of said people. Generally some countries have multiple nations (ethnicities) within them, and this translates to conflict over trying to gain power.

America is complicated, it is if anything the exception to the rule however this is also not entirely true. You have plenty of original diasporas living in the US that are pure ethnic, pure nationals say from germany, england and Poland or genetically are almost pure. These are quite large pockets and im willing to bet that a majority of americans are actually a majority of one nation or another from the original continents. so Id say most likely 60% is majority (75+% pure) XYZ ethnic background. While this can be wrong as well. But I tend to find that this is usually the case at least with my stay on the west coast. America maybe used to be a nation with a complete set of land, but with the immigration act being passed and massive influx of migration earlier, we see the issue of the original nation being set aside. Id say the original american nation controls maybe (by population density) some 60-70% of the land of the US.

@everyone Daily Question 🔖

Is Kavanaugh guilty? Are Ford's allegations credible? Is Kavanaugh a good pick for the Supreme Court?

2018-09-27 18:37:25 UTC  

No, No, Probably

2018-09-27 18:37:47 UTC  

No, No, and I don't care anymore.

2018-09-27 18:38:03 UTC  

No, no, please end society

2018-09-27 18:38:10 UTC  

^

2018-09-27 18:38:41 UTC  

No, No and Probably the best one for the SC.

2018-09-27 18:39:30 UTC  

Its honestly a meme at this point

2018-09-27 18:39:47 UTC  

He seems like he is a genuinely good guy, not sure if he's going to remain strong enough to handle the corruption up in DC but once he gets confirmed, the FISA documents should be unclassified.

2018-09-27 18:39:51 UTC  

Are they even trying?

2018-09-27 18:40:03 UTC  

The GOP should've confirmed this man long ago.

2018-09-27 18:55:28 UTC  

yes, yes, no

2018-09-27 18:58:08 UTC  

No, No, Idc

2018-09-27 18:58:27 UTC  

a) i don’t know and i don’t think anyone will ever know for certain unless there is absolutely concrete bulletproof evidence
b) i’d say yes personally
c) absolutely not

2018-09-27 19:01:46 UTC  

If you don't immediately report a rape then you should be charged

2018-09-27 19:02:14 UTC  

Did you see the hearing?

2018-09-27 19:02:52 UTC  

Have you seen Ford's testimony?

2018-09-27 19:05:01 UTC  

No way Ford's allegations are true. It's all a circus act to stop Kavanaugh at all costs

2018-09-27 19:18:00 UTC  

you’re assuming that rape is just something that people get over like it was nothing and not a traumatic experience that people feel ashamed and embarrassed to talk about

2018-09-27 19:18:15 UTC  

and yes i saw the hearing

2018-09-27 19:18:49 UTC  

i think ford's testimony is definitely credible

2018-09-27 19:18:57 UTC  

yeah

2018-09-27 19:19:05 UTC  

but like

2018-09-27 19:19:25 UTC  

i'm pretty sure statute of limitations means he's not guilty of anything
