Iran's nuclear facilities are in mountain bunkers built deep underground, designed to withstand everything up to a nuclear weapon. Israel simply does ...

Sure, he's culpable, but he's also largely irrelevant. The same is true for Biden or any other US president in modern times. I often emphasize the 'li...

Blaming Trump for this is just naive, and distracts from the fact that this war has been long in the making with the Israel lobby and the US neocon es...

Uncle Sam using its rabid pet chimpanzee to sow chaos in the Middle-East - what else is new?

One element that is definitely push, is advertising. I'm quite shocked by how much advertising is done for things like gambling, alcohol, and all othe...

Draining energy directly out of the Earth, though? Gee, what could go wrong?

As with most mass movements (ideological, religious, political or otherwise), it's the top that is utterly corrupt, because that's where power accumul...

The long and short of it is, corruption. Large-scale idealism, doo-goodery and politicial movements are virtually always corrupt, designed to get the ...

Well, I don't know who is arguing for the entire dismissal of the treatment. Hermaphrodism and gender dysphoria are rare conditions. These are obvious...

Gender dysphoria is an actual psychological condition, where patterns have to be established over a long period of time by a psychotherapist. It is ve...

What about an alternative, non-invasive treatment - teaching a child to accept the healthy, natural body they have been born with?

:up: A prepubescent child cannot make a decision like this, because they have no frame of reference for what the list of nightmarish potential consequ...

If they pass, then yes, that would be bizarre. But what do you do with someone who has had surgery and doesn't pass? There doesn't seem to be a satisf...

Whether that's a viable option seems to depend heavily on whether or not a person passes for the other sex. This is probably the elephant in the room ...

It's good to see you're still coping.

Instantly back to being a clown, I see? Well, back on the ignore list you go.

It's fairly dishonest to bicker about whether or not something should be called genocide, when there is a clear threat of ethnic violence. Genocide un...

Agreed. And honestly, I find it hard to wrap my head around the absolute shit tsunami of suffering that has been created by all of these invasive medi...

You're on a slippery slope when you call people racist based on an apparent bias. I don't think it's fair or accurate, but rather a type of knee-jerk ...

If this is some sort of arch crime, I don't really get it. With our unnamed genocide apologist I see where you're coming from.

You gotta chill out a bit. Falling for some narrative doesn't make someone a racist. A lot of nonsense narratives are floating about, often constructe...

'Dangerous opinions' to citizens are what running with scizzors is to toddlers. The grown-ups in government must protect us against the dangerous opin...

That's probably what Trump thought as he entered office, but evidently it isn't so simple. Not only does he have to take on the US establishment, but ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJJuU2psL8k&t=2s So, recently Jeffrey Sachs gave this talk on an online talkshow in which he expressed what I thought ...

The US already has blood on its hands, and has for decades. Unwavering support for its genocidal pet monkey Israel has been the gold standard of US Mi...

What you linked isn't a political party promising anything. It's some random guy no one has ever heard of posting a tweet. Sometimes politicians say e...

On the topic of education, I think it would require a radical paradigm shift indeed. It's often said that education alone does not actually make peopl...

Nonsense. Go read for yourself what they say about remigration: https://www.afd.de/remigration/ You've fallen for the good ol' fascist canard, with wh...

The vast majority of political messaging is made to work people's emotions, though. That's not just Trump. Worse still, with Trump it is very obvious,...

It turns out people aren't too impressed by having political agendas jammed down their throat. Who knew?

My burning dislike for politicians is non-partisan, don't you worry. But what I loathe even more is to see people of reasonable intelligence falling f...

That doesn't even register on the same scale of all the cooked up shit your government gets up to. Also, weren't they gang members?

Of course that's what you are talking about. All you have are politicians' words about their commitments to xyz. There's no indication whatsoever that...

It might very well change, but my point is that whatever politicians say about it is not much of an indication.

It is a legacy of the post-war settlement, and that doesn't change just because some politicians said some words. In fact, I can think of few things t...

You're ascribing too much value to the words of politicians - those of Trump and those of European leaders. Their words mean nothing. Here's what fact...

The AfD is not even remotely fascist or nazi. It's a libertarian party, which is the diametrical opposite of the type of authoritarian far-right movem...

That conclusion is rather premature. It will depend on a lot of factors, the most important of which is whether Trumpism will continue after Trump's p...

I never said any of that. I merely pointed out that people's sense of ownership is fundamentally human and far precedes government arbitration. As I n...

Corporations aren't the only form of business. A person selling their chicken's eggs to their neighbors is a business. No government interjection nece...

Free speech fundamentally concerns the sharing of ideas. Platitudes about yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre deliberately pretend otherwise, in orde...

I think any reasonable person would, on some basic level, be against exploitation. I certainly am, and there is nothing in the classical liberal posit...

Thanks for the kind words. :blush: I think institutions are inherently flawed, because they are ran by humans who are inherently flawed. As a general ...

This is a very uncharitable view, and I think it is also false. In my experience, libertarians and classical liberals (I consider myself the latter) c...

Large businesses have always used their lobbying power to gain special privileges, which is one of the primary mechanisms through which market regulat...

Someone who is intellectually crafty enough can construe arguments for pretty much any position, as Singer proves. Since definitive philosophical argu...

Of course there is. The US is corrupt down to the bone. The "deep state" is, for example, whoever is paying off your politicians to start and market w...

If you reduce my argument as such, there should be no problem with me reducing your argument to "The White House is stupid". Well, Benkei, experts see...

I've given you plenty of suggestions. You're just refusing to read them, apparently. I don't feel one way or the other about the article. But it's cle...

Trump neemt enorm risico met handelsoorlog, maar kan die wel winnen (translation: Trump takes huge risk with trade war, but is able to win it) Trumps ...
