The British example is indeed interesting. Naturally this question is about the various hate speech laws or in the UK case, similar laws and the imple...
In the Nordic countries this isn't the case. The change in immigration policies is obvious and the change has been done for example in Sweden by the S...
If we talk about fascists and authoritarian parties, certainly. And for a reason. Otherwise I think that the left is far too eager to paint nearly in ...
Exactly. Every European country, be it Germany, France or Luxembourg, is vis-a-vis weaker to Russia. Thus Putin's Russia desires this outcome so eager...
"Now usually" doesn't mean the same as "anyone". I've been myself a eurosceptic before, but especially after Brexit, the dissolution of EU doesn't mak...
That is the worrisome thing. Yet the case of Nathan Gill shows just how this works: Gill has publicly stated that he is for Ukraine and against the Ru...
Again here, if you elect the Comission directly by EU voters, you seriously undermine the nation states and national sovereignty. The European Council...
Actually the best understanding of the present National Security Strategy and the effects of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OkMX1a4h00 He also e...
Or people simply who believe in the Putin-Trump world in their hate of modern democracies and liberalism. It's not about having access to unfettered n...
Well, I support that my countries own parliament has power and that isn't given to the EU Parliament. Perhaps the problem is that the whole structure ...
I agree with you. The real problem is that Brussels has copied the French way of bureaucracy. Basically the US administration would be far more transp...
Ah yes, the bureaucracy. I think the US has a lot of it too, actually. First of all, not all EU countries are in the monetary union. It wasn't only UK...
I think that has already happened. (The what they need part is still the problem) Notice the arrangement in this photo: Zelensky and Merz together on ...
It's a fine idea EVEN NOW. Never underestimate the importance of this. Just like with NATO, which has Article 1 and when the armed forces train togeth...
When there in their sixties and seventies, yes. The American voters are far too enthusiastic to choose octogenarians to the places of power. And stagn...
Yet the real tragedy is that in my view Atlanticism, the security arrangement between North America and Europe, has truly worked well and given us pea...
I'm not sure about that. The damage has been already done. You don't have to be Denmark to state the obvious (as their intelligence service did). The ...
Actually trade makes far more sense that 19th Century imperialism. Just look at Iraq. You would assume that because the US invaded the country, instal...
One of the great warfilms ever. Oh, this surely is that. A real anti-war film. Have to say that this film is the warfilm that made me the most impact ...
What has been totally obvious for everybody for a long time is now started to be said quite openly: It's now only a matter of time when European polit...
That would an absolute disaster. The last thing is to refrain from selling armaments and support to countries that can perfectly make the aircraft and...
Certainly not. An ideology that depicts a "class enemy", with Marxism the capitalists and the bourgeoisie, and preaches about a violent revolution to ...
At least reading this paper, he obviously has done it. This strategy paper is really gives on a platter what Russia wants: a) Stops NATO enlargement (...
This is what I also anticipate. Already the commentary is hardening: not with the leaders that have to meet Trump, but with other politicians and poli...
If it only would be so. Yes, the US is a very divided country, yet Europeans won't forget that Americans have now two times elected Trump as President...
For me the Fermi paradox loses a lot of it's argumentation, when one takes into account that the first radio signals we have ever sent to space have r...
Luckily NATO didn't go away, because Russia chose the irrational and destructive path of imperialism and clinging on to a lost empire and not the obvi...
Moral philosophy is important, I'm not denying that. So is also aesthetics or epistemology as a branch of philosophy. They obviously aren't covered by...
I'm sorry to look at this from the viewpoint of logic, but in logic if you have a contradiction means something is simply false, not true. And I guess...
When looking at your answers to others also, it's obvious that you aren't looking at the issue from a viewpoint of logic and subjectivity/objectivity ...
Something that we really cannot put into a similar logical structure as objectivity and then use it as we do, doesn't mean at all that there's a confl...
At least not a theorem. Or what you yourself say: Which isn't a theorem. To me, it's more like an argument, an opinion. I think this quote from Turing...
The English have indeed been the most successful empire builders starting from the incredible wisdom of creating the identity of being "British" to th...
Notice what I said: it isn't a theorem. It's not giving a logical definition. It is not what a theorem is: a general proposition that is not self-evid...
What would this "socialism" mean in this case? Opting for something equivalent to the labour government of Keir Starmer in the UK? Opting for social-d...
Simply put it: The Turing test isn't at all a theorem about consciousness. It should be noted that even the Church-Turing thesis is a thesis, not a th...
That might be true for some Americans, but for example in my country (or in the Nordic countries in generals), this doesn't hold for the conservatives...
Trump says that Venezuelan aerospace is closed and now hinting on attacks on mainland Venezuela. The ordinary issue would be now to attack Venezuelan ...
If you are a right-wing libertarian and believe in free market, rights of the individual and limited government making the best society possible, why ...
If you add Russia to Europe, which I would do, this is totally true. Russia is the most clearest example of European colonialism and imperialism. And ...
This is a bit confusing and I would agree with @"AmadeusD" that this isn't support, actually. It's basically window dressing and an attempt to avoid c...
I'm not sure if China will fill anything in Europe, but it already has filled a large role in Asia and Africa. The issue really is that nothing will r...
Yep. This is the Trumpian bullshit rhetoric people like NOS4A2 believe. France and UK have their own nuclear deterrents, so they are out of the questi...
Absolute nonsense. NATO passed with flying colors the role it had during the Cold War of creating a credible deterrence. Hardly can move tanks? LOL. H...
Fundamentalism is an apt word here, as is zealotry. My country has had a novel way to eradicate religious fundamentalism: we have had state religion s...
So is faith/religion and religiousness, yes. Isn't that a level of agnosticism? I myself have been since my childhood an agnostic and feel quite happy...
? Very difficult and confusing wording in my view. But I'm not very clever. What is "providing nonsubjective truth-makers"? Yet notice the difference ...
What bullshit is this "decisive coordinated military response", when a) you cannot train for this and Ukraine cannot be a member or anybody else (like...
At least now, I guess Trump's DOJ has had enough time to destroy all the worst things for Trump in the files. * * * Well, Axios has released Trump's "...
