Now this is true. Perhaps Critical race theory should be defined to three separate categories: a) CRT of a specific author b) Programs or authors clos...

Well, people don't know the term jingoism and the term chauvinism has another definition today also. But I guess any word meaning that people would ha...
October 14, 2021 at 12:29
I think so too. Critical race theory starts from the idea that racism is inherent (to white people?) and includes far more things than the ordinary de...

Compared to the Maoists, yes. List the famines that have happened because of "the West's" capitalist policies...compared to the 15 to 55 million dead ...

Well, just look at a dictionary definition of an ideology: or Quite easy to argue that ideologies are of the doing of humans and thus are "a result of...

But just what are you measuring? Genetical research tells something about your ancestry, but far better does traditional historical geneology about yo...

I wouldn't say it's a cultural issue, but more of a wealth and prosperity issue. I would add the lack of social cohesion and alienation, the feeling t...

Actually, you don't make things better for yourself. If everybody's wages are lowered, everybody is worse, the capitalists too. Do remember that there...
October 10, 2021 at 19:02
Which is rather silly. Basically you hear this reasoning when someone is argued into a corner or something. Genetics is another thing, really. Racial ...

Well, one person like that was Napoleon. But Trump isn't actually a Napoleon.
October 10, 2021 at 13:49
All depends actually of what the reasons are for his visit. If the idea is that he could walk into the Oval Office and resume office of the President,...

And nobody comes. Will he have a hunger strike there? Or what. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTCjNT-z7q8

Yeah, they obviously cannot think of simply locking the door in the White House. Locked doors do stop people, you know.

For a "social construct"? I have no trouble with the definition: I would simply state that the differences between the chemical elements are part of o...
October 10, 2021 at 13:22
The amount of electron shells and the number of protons in an chemical element can be stated as an obvious difference as the elements do differ from e...

This is actually what is happening and has happened in many countries. The pandemic has put the ruling administrations in a tough spot and if the emer...

Democracy is a necessary safety valve. But basically if the economy goes bust and people are really unhappy about the situation, then ugly things and ...

Have you followed the debate about the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley? The US armed forces are not exactly a pushover institute. Si...

Information spreads in various ways. It has spread since history and likely much of it has been incorrect. Yet the cause of people getting angry about...
October 07, 2021 at 22:15
Yep. As Trump didn't have any leadership skills, he couldn't do what he wanted to do. Hence the strange admiration of Putin and other authoritarian le...

Well, if I put "Conspiracy Theory" into Youtube, I'll get "Finland doesn't exist (Conspiracy Theory)". Yet basically this is basically how the interne...

October 07, 2021 at 14:00
You have to be very careful how to do this, because more censorship likely isn't the answer as likely many politicians aren't so inept as Trump, who h...

May be? I think they are quite obvious ways. Political power is to control how things are talked about and how people see the issues. It's not only ab...
October 06, 2021 at 05:25
That is the real question here. How do you assume that the polarization would stop? There really is the danger that the election of 2020 (and it's aft...

I think it should start from things like felons would never lose their right to vote, even while they are incarcerated. Citizenship should be enough f...
October 04, 2021 at 05:28
That's the diplomatic way to say it. The other way to say this is that there aren't objective truths and it's all subjective truths and so I can make ...
October 04, 2021 at 05:24
Yep. Likely this is the case. But of course likely people will simply deny the facts and just accuse of others being naive. Deny all those rented cold...
October 03, 2021 at 10:50
This is the reality. What suits them best are the facts. It's all just political rhetoric, everything. Talk about making your own reality. A bit postm...

The way I see it, there is a lot of commentary on Trump still in the media. Plus the GOP seems to be hijacked by the "Trump crowd" ...or at least so i...
