the Han Dynasty, for example, was comparable to Rome in both size and power

2019-12-02 16:22:10 UTC  

But recently by which i mean from now to about 100-200 years ago they haven't been a world power or even really close

2019-12-02 16:22:15 UTC  

The thing with europe is, it never was world power as an entity

2019-12-02 16:22:25 UTC  

individual european _states_ were

2019-12-02 16:22:35 UTC  

but not europe

2019-12-02 16:30:46 UTC  

my point being in the cyclical natire of history 200 years is not that much

2019-12-02 16:31:56 UTC  

the pace of at which xx century accelerated these cycles might lead to believe it is considering we went from horses to space in half a century

2019-12-02 16:33:08 UTC  

seeing my own country devolve into anarchy in a month and seeing some of the international institutions disregard whats going on, makes you question the global status quo going forward

2019-12-02 16:34:03 UTC  

I feel the US doesn’t realize how insidious the left is and how much they are willing to play the long game

2019-12-02 16:46:19 UTC  

russia was in the right in those hostage scenarios

2019-12-02 16:46:37 UTC  

the theatre had a long hallway that the cops would have to go through

2019-12-02 16:46:46 UTC  

and the place was rigged to explode

2019-12-02 16:46:56 UTC  

it would have been a long firefight

2019-12-02 16:47:01 UTC  

and lead to more deaths

2019-12-02 16:48:02 UTC  

best way to deal with terrorists is to just kill them

2019-12-02 16:48:38 UTC  

ive been having a discussion last month, due to what has happened here, without rule of law there’s no expectation of human rights, even criminals expect to enjoy human rights, unless they threaten rule of law

2019-12-02 16:49:08 UTC  

yeah pretty much

2019-12-02 16:49:19 UTC  

philippines are a good example of that

2019-12-02 16:49:47 UTC  

they execute people who are involved in drug trafficking without a trial

2019-12-02 16:50:23 UTC  

without rule of law the government acts like a mafia

2019-12-02 16:50:42 UTC  

and they only go after people that they don't like or that they consider a problem

2019-12-02 16:52:15 UTC  

in our case they’ve accused police of “brutality “ and they launched a constitutional case against the president

2019-12-02 16:52:20 UTC  

its all bullshit

2019-12-02 16:52:34 UTC  

but rule of law has been broken

2019-12-02 16:52:46 UTC  

now cotizens are taking the law in their own hands

2019-12-02 16:53:18 UTC  

there are neighborhoods where there are no services left

2019-12-02 16:53:24 UTC  

and no police

2019-12-02 16:53:35 UTC  

gangs are taking ober

2019-12-02 16:53:45 UTC  

who looks for human rights then?

2019-12-02 16:53:54 UTC  

and this happened in 4 weeks

2019-12-02 16:55:18 UTC  

probably 20 years in the making , but the left plays a dangerous game, look at what’s beeing tought in universities

2019-12-02 16:55:30 UTC  

and look for those people to get to high schools

2019-12-02 16:55:57 UTC  

Throwing drug dealers from a heilcopter. I dont see the problem

2019-12-02 16:56:13 UTC  

i mean

2019-12-02 16:56:26 UTC  

here theres an issue with pensions

2019-12-02 16:56:50 UTC  

and yet we spend more money in keeping people in prison badly

2019-12-02 16:57:22 UTC  

death could be a solution dont know but economically speaking there is a point

2019-12-02 16:58:20 UTC  

death penalty has no value as deterrent

2019-12-02 16:58:27 UTC  

that much has been shown

2019-12-02 16:58:31 UTC  

we do know, but your medias stranglehold on how things are reported is causing significant problems. For instance, the Hong Kong protesters are being portayed as the Baddies the fact that they keep 'suiciding' in confrontations with police is implying that they're cray.
