It isn't. Nationalism simply includes ultranationalism and jingoism. And trolls just love to get others butt-hurt, it's the objective. Read carefully....
Democracy or a Republic works only if the citizens uphold the values. Even in school I remember my philosophy teacher reminding us that there's no lim...
Thanks for the "warning", but I'll see if Clearbury responds. I think this is very typical for those that want to talk especially about anarchism. Ana...
The fundamental problem is where you start thinking of anarchism: you start from the individual, yet go for macrolevel solutions that effect communiti...
You think so? What can I say. Being happy that my taxes have substantially gotten lower from earlier times. As a young student I remember being taxed ...
In the US it's difficult to say as it's been a very long time since the US has seen genuinely leftist parties being popular. The big transformation th...
Left-wing populism exists. Best example of that in your continent was Hugo Chavez and the politics of Venezuela. It starts from basically dehumanizing...
And the fact that you use the word "enemy" and oppression makes it totally clear that some government officials can be careful when having to approach...
Simply make the detection/diagnose of a "post-truth" person and then treat him or her accordingly. Understand that he or she will tell the truth only ...
Nope. You lose your heads if the US is really involved in the fight. Conflicts were the US is absent simply don't exist to you. Those conflicts are li...
Exactly! While Americans think their own government is the problem and as they hate their "elites", they go all in with populism. If the DNC would be ...
The hatred and fear of FEMA runs deep in the mind of the conspiracy theorist. I assume these were orders after a hurricane evacuation had been given a...
Except the US didn't go to war to stop the Holocaust. The brilliant mr A. Hitler in his enormous wisdom declared war on the United States after Imperi...
And pay for that Superpower military, which is crucial. That now the debt service cost more than the whole defense budget is telling. And there's abso...
And now pays more in servicing it's debt than in puts into it's military spending. That means it's on the beaten path to lose it's position. And it ca...
And that is quite a mixed lot. So yes, there is the arms dealer to be found. And the country willing to play the "Great game". But as your list shows,...
That is true, especially if we view Russia (Soviet Union) being an European and Western country. Although even this is starting to change as many coun...
Quite a list! :yikes: I would be critical about this. How is Poland sliding to totalitarianism? Law and Order party lost the elections last year and a...
Especially if you are an American, don't think that everything evolves around your navel. You didn't engineer the "Arab Spring". You didn't engineer t...
Yep, India has surpassed the EU. Quite telling where the actual industrial growth has been. We can easily forget the sheer enormous size of Chinese pr...
In the 19th Century economics had a far better name for itself: Political Economy. This name actually showed clearly one fundamental aspect of the soc...
Americans just absolutely hate the establishment. And they hate to be told what to think especially by the liberal elite. The successful populist alwa...
It is topic that ought to be discussed, but those kinds of arguments will just get someone banned in the end. But I would give Bob the chance to expla...
What small countries are you talking about specifically? I'm not an advocate or a supporter of the objectives of the federalists in the EU. It's their...
Why should it be so? Sovereignty is one crucial thing for any nation. And we shouldn't "make some country worse and worse". Those countries that have ...
Do not forget that in 2016 Trump already had Republicans in power in both houses, Trump had the backing already of the congress and he still squashed ...
And why not? Do note that patriotism, love of your country, isn't a synonym for nationalism or jingoism, that your country is better than others. When...
I think it's quite likely that Trump will entangle himself even more than Biden in the Middle East as wanting to be the loyal ally to Bibi. Bibi can p...
If the great orator would have actual leadership qualities, that could be the outcome. But this is Trump, you have to remember. The likely outcome is ...
Lol. Are the Security Council resolutions binding then? Not when it comes to Israel, I think. All fifteen members voted in favor of Security Council r...
It's still only a possibility, and not the likeliest outcome, that Trump really can change fundamentally US foreign policy. Yet striking a dagger in t...
And this thread CONTINUES!!!! Even if seven years ago Trump was already the President, so it's not the beginning of Trump talk. Trump II will likely b...
Musk indeed had been a democrat. Why the Biden administration snubbed Musk, like for example praising electric car makers other than Musk, who has bee...
I totally agree with this. This is the real reason why Trump is elected (or if he get's through to get the second term). And thus it really doesn't ma...
It surely started then. We just didn't notice as first the restoration/reconquest of the Empire wasn't so evident, even if many especially in the Balt...
Yet many here enthusiastically and repeatedly promote these falsehoods. And notably simply disregard every other aspect, like the russification and th...
What do you think a lightly armed infantry battalion basically can do where IDF has failed (like in 2006)? That simply is ludicrous. UN can do it's wo...
Lol, Biden just showed again why the Democrats sidelined him (or the people who sponsor the party). Yet how could he remember the classic gaffe made b...
Lol. As if there would be a "diplomatic solution" for the artificial state that ought to be part of Russia (or at least parts that are Novorossiya) an...
In my view Wittgenstein's comment of "Psychology is no nearer related to philosophy, than is any other natural science" just refutes the idea that phi...
Really??? :yikes: Oh I get. Just like Trump threatening to take out the US ground forces out of Europe would strengthen NATO...because European countr...
From the OP: First, isn't being conscious subjective? At least I assume that somebody that is conscious is a subject: he or she or it can think and ac...
The worst thing for him is to pull out the rug from the Ukrainians and weaken NATO while getting more entangled in the Gaza genocide and with the war ...
The truth is that the UN can perform only a limited things well. It can be between two sides, when both sides accept this. But it's laughable to think...
The US politicians are just in the pocket of the Israel lobby thanks to mainly the Pro-Israeli Christians in the electorate, not just the American Jew...
Yeah, Trump will probably win. :meh: Hopefully I'm wrong. And it's likely going to be worse than last time, because now he can demand to be surrounded...
Yet the issue here is that they have to have in their program instructions how to learn, how even to rewrite the algorithms they are following. And th...
