how the word is used in the us generally forms a part of liberalism more broadly

2020-01-07 10:41:50 UTC  

Ok sooo...

2020-01-07 10:42:29 UTC  

I've heard that policies pushed by The Greens in Australia have actually contributed to the spread of the fires. Can someome elaborate on this?

2020-01-07 12:05:18 UTC  

It's California but worse.

2020-01-07 12:05:59 UTC  

The people protesting against controlled burns let brush and dead wood pile up until one day it hits a overfuelled, unhindered blaze.

2020-01-07 12:06:55 UTC  

Some have also blamed it on arson, because people want to prove that the world is on fire by setting it on fire and blaming climate change.

2020-01-07 12:07:26 UTC  

Even though it was their own refusal of controlled-burn forest management that allowed it to go this far on its own.

2020-01-07 12:16:41 UTC  

Is control-burn management actually necessary there? Over here, I have never heard of us intentionally burning forests. I assume they just get exploited for wood so well we don't really need to.

2020-01-07 12:58:01 UTC  

I'm not an expert nor a firefighter, but I think control-burning seems like a good idea.

2020-01-07 12:59:28 UTC  

I get why it's a good idea if your forests are full of dead wood and undergrowth, but ours aren't.

2020-01-07 12:59:51 UTC  

Australia is huge, though, so I excuse them not being able to tend to all of the forests.

2020-01-07 13:00:26 UTC  

I also heard that the policies enacted by the Greens stopped the tending of forests in Australia

2020-01-07 13:00:47 UTC  

Am I mistaken?

2020-01-07 13:10:56 UTC  

I know there were protests over it, people wanting to end or limit controlled burning

2020-01-07 13:11:24 UTC  

And I know there are less instances of controlled burning than there were

2020-01-07 13:11:32 UTC  

But by how much Idk

2020-01-07 13:14:26 UTC  

I've also read a few stories like this quite recently

2020-01-07 13:56:42 UTC  

A place like this sure could use more somali crime

lol?

Due to Switzerland being a direct democracy, it actually has some ***🅱️ased*** laws

2020-01-07 21:37:34 UTC  

Like sometime ago, the Swiss Nationalist Party with a weird name I can't recall and a logo that looks like a pre-school, started a petition on whether or not to ban the construction minaret towers.
You know, which tend to be attached to mosques where the imam shouts prayers as you've probably seen in Islamic countries.
Anyway, under Swiss law when a petition reaches a certain number a public referendum must be held, and that's exactly what happened. And the majority of the Swiss people voted to ban the construction of minaret towers.

after Iran and Iraq's offenses against the US, if both parties are pulled into full on conflict, who's allied against each side?

2020-01-08 02:42:30 UTC  

from what it seems like, it's going to be them against the rest of the world

2020-01-08 02:43:15 UTC  

Russia and China haven't asked us to btfo

2020-01-08 02:44:32 UTC  

I heard the US and Canada have sent forces over

2020-01-08 02:44:56 UTC  

In this situation our allies count, irans allies only count if they're dumb enough to think Iran will win, they started hostilities so the don't have a leg to stand on in calling on allies

2020-01-08 02:45:37 UTC  

yeah i'm pretty sure the rest of the Middle East is going to side with us because Iran was in the wrong here

2020-01-08 02:47:00 UTC  

That'd be fucking hilarious if a ME coalition helps us nae-nae the Iranian military <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2020-01-08 02:47:49 UTC  

and hopefully this could be the start of bringing about peace in the middle east

2020-01-08 02:47:49 UTC  

They will if it escalates, Iran made sure of that

2020-01-08 02:48:01 UTC  

Direct threats on UAE and Dubai

2020-01-08 02:48:18 UTC  

only tyrant regimes that have been oppressing their own people will back tyrant regimes in Iran

2020-01-08 02:48:33 UTC  

so Iran is already divided

2020-01-08 02:48:44 UTC  

their people want freedom/peace

2020-01-08 02:49:04 UTC  

Not even, I think the other tyrant regimes hate Iran more than US right now

2020-01-08 02:49:44 UTC  

so Solemeini and his fellow butt buddies have been behind all the terrorism

2020-01-08 02:49:55 UTC  

and once all of them are knocked out
