I would dare to say, even if the response is hostility from others here, that in a republic with representative democracy, the political party system ...

Good luck with your November tragicomedy.

Lol. The closer book is "Mao's thoughts". And if you ask older Swedes about their television of from the 60's to the 80's I would guess they would hav...

There has been also the state financed television & broadcast, where basically the funding comes from tax income from those having a television (as he...

Great. So if Trump would win the Democrats could argue that the Republicans manipulated the mail-in votes. The same kind of switcheroo that Republican...

If the EU would be truly a Federation and controlled by a singular entity that would drive the objectives of the EU itself, it would be worse. Luckily...

And usually the real energy comes from them being so annoyed about liberals and leftists. That's the trick that Trump has: it isn't so much about what...

In any way, the whole debate was not very presidential.

I don't think that all conservatives rally around a man who embodies the exact opposite of the things they claim to believe in. Just as not every pers...

And if they would not be so, people would be against them. You can just imagine if the those tourists wouldn't spend a dime, but on the contrary would...

One British historian, who has written about the history of London, said aptly about how Britons feel about foreigners, which can be generalized to al...

How the war on drugs has been implemented can be argued as part of how systemic racism continues, but anyway...

I'll read that.

Thank you reading and understanding my point correctly, and as this was done in a simple google search, it surely wasn't meant to be a thorough statis...

If deaths or prison sentences would have no racial bias, then the total offenses charged would be a good indicator in telling how many go to jail or h...

And this tells a lot about how class based even British politics is. Because usually people who vote for a certain party are defined to be the support...

Based on statistics, the incarceration rates of blacks is the statistic that isn't in line. Likely here the biggest reason is the war on drugs (see th...

At least they didn't bungle up with economic growth when other countries in the West prospered. That would have been the thing. This is actually simil...

This the argument that it's a Republic? I guess democracies are usually republics, even if some are technically monarchies.

And also twice as likely to be arrested, even more likely to be incarcerated and have higher crime rates, yet also poorer and higher unemployment numb...

And that's why I think discussion is important. And yes, the obvious elephant in the room, the economic situation, is forgotten. My country doesn't ha...

Well, the Forum isn't a "safe space" and simply going away isn't an answer. Philosophy students are usually leftists. Yet increasing amount of members...

I do understand your point. Yet how do you approach these injustices is important. Do you make accusations and divide the people (as happens) or do yo...

And I would argue on the way how to communicate the latter issue correctly is important. If we divide the people by race or income and say "the police...

Is it really aimed? You really think that this isn't a problem in very poor white communities in the US? Blacks make up 13% of the US population yet o...

When those interested in philosophy cannot exchange ideas with each other, all is lost. Sounds dramatic, but there's a truth to it. (And I still have ...

Then why not simply police brutality and what we do about it?

So better to not point out that there are white victims too? Is even mentioning that some kind of dog whistle? Just as someone even referring to color...

There's our Aussie moderator doing his job of moderating a Philosophy Forum.

Did I say it's inflated or non-issue? No, absolutely not. It's quite apparent that with American police the racial profiling and how they differ in th...

Many don't, that participate on the PF. (Even if I did spent few years in my childhood there and last time I was there was last year.) Yet that's the ...

Uh...the World economy has been in trouble since the financial crisis of 2008, even if China and India have put respectable growth numbers. You did ha...

As the article pointed out, fighting Ebola etc. got them better prepared. I've noticed this being very important: the success stories have usually bee...

I thought that the appointment of Neil Gorsuch went easily by US standards. I may be wrong...

You and others didn't get my point, but anyway, must be my walnut-sized brain. Yet hard to understand why this urge to divide people, to make an event...

You're not the only one that made the mistake, some newspapers seem to have made the error also. The building is is next to George Square and hence it...

Well, I'm a Finn, so I shouldn't care either. Unfortunately Europeans will start mimicking the trends from the US, the good ones and the bad ones, bec...

They've always done that, especially the clueless ones. The duopoly situation in the US makes things different. Now what politicians want to do is to ...

Right. You go with your condescending own echo-chamber... I'll assume that you didn't understand at all what I was saying and naturally didn't care at...

? Sorry, to what am I saying yes?

Concentrating on the systemic racism part veers the focus away from the fact that excessive violence happens without regard to one's race. Where was t...

And the underlying reason was systemic racism? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcd7nn3UB80&bpctr=1601119210 Or could we start calling this problem tha...

Swedes here made a decision and didn't flinch as the British government did. And the Swedish went with that. After the pandemic we know. We are here h...

Yet it acknowledges the threat. And as the FBI defines some animal rights groups and environmental groups as terrorist groups/criminal organization ju...

(I'll answer this separately as it is a bit different topic) Yet the real issue is how to get the masses to love their new identity, not only the elit...

Oh yes, "never again" after WW2 was the true fighting call for the EEC/EU. And that's about it, apart from the vague idea of being the counter respons...

Yet that's the whole question: would it really completely change the story? The superficial story of events happening and how exactly people reacted t...

Unfortunately the present discourse is meant to divide us, not to unify us. Divide et Impera.

I do value those "old-school" views. Perhaps the problems of the Roman Empire can be thought with alternative history: What would have it taken for th...

This can be interpreted wrong. The fact is that whites won't be a majority. That is different, because whites still will be the largest racial group i...
