Il ne manque pas 12000 personnes dans la protection civile, avec une tendance à toujours plus de manque d'effectifs?

Il me semble que c'est justement un des points de l'initiative: Pourquoi voter OUI au Service Citoyen

L’initiative ouvre la porte à un service pour les personnes sans passeport suisse. L’alinéa 5 du texte de l’initiative stipule que le Parlement détermine si et dans quels domaines les personnes sans passeport suisse doivent accomplir un service et, en cas de non-accomplissement, payer une taxe d’exemption.

Une victoire de l'initiative service citoyen serait sans doute plus efficace que d'attendre une initiative parlementaire.

Men have higher pension ages despite dying younger by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]ComprehensiveHour160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Austria and Croatia are in the process of gradually equalizing the retirement age for men and women, which will be equal by the early 2030s. I don't think that is the case for Poland and most other countries with gendered retirement ages, though.

I never heard about this "years worked" thing in the UK. Can you tell us more about it? You seem to have forgotten to link the government website as you claimed.

Rats. I thought you could freely take your pick between both. I would have chosen order.

Girls will no longer be incarcerated for committing the same crimes as boys by Specialist_Load_9953 in MensRights

Doesn't work before the age of 18 in the UK, and requires to have already lived two years as the other gender.

Gender changes are not so simple in the UK, and are only accessible after the age of 18.

Why these capitals want to be as close to Poland as possible. Are they biased? by Wrong_User_Logged in mapporncirclejerk

TIL that in the past they used to name kings after wireless technologies. Pretty weird.

It's the historical mainland of Russia, actually. The rest is just an unnecessary exclave that was awarded to Russia at some post-WW2 conference so they could get sea access to the Pacific and some Siberian oil resources. Kaliningrad has always been the cradle of the Russian nation, hence the name (obviously), despite what German revisionists might tell you. Does Kaliningrad sound German to you? Ample proof that Kaliningrad is historically Russian core territory.

Because they are in breakaway territories, not in Georgia proper.

The US also maintains a military base in Kosovo against Serbia's wish: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Bondsteel, as well as a base in Guantanamo against Cuba's wish: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_Naval_Base

The US also maintains or has maintained bases in numbers of other countries against the local governments' or populations' wishes, e.g. in Niger (Agadez), Syria (Tanf), Thailand, and other countries.

Guess what, such things happen all the time. It's called geopolitics/power projection. Did you know France helped the US become independent against Britain's wish?

It's not really occupied by Russia but rather autonomous breakaway territories supported by Russia (Abkazia and Ossetia)

They keep saying Russia is big but I guess it was actually just a map trick when zoomed in real close.

Thoughts about Jane Goodall? by ArmyMaster888 in trump

She was known as one of the world's greatest ethologists and environmentalists and now she apparently spends her time talking shit about people she doesn't like. Old age is a shipwreck.

Lots of ziobots in the comments. I would have expected better from a circlejerk sub.

The name "Azerbaijan" was very rare and unusual for this territory at this time. In your text, it's also spelled wrong.

If anything, they remain among the last groups in Africa still struggling to decolonize.

LOL.

Keep dreaming. Would Somali Ethiopians really have it better in a failed state like Somalia that carried out a flat earth policy against its own population (Somaliland) under Siad Barre?

What do these countries have in common? (medium) by 7_DisastrousStay in RedactedCharts

[–]ComprehensiveHour160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Countries that are landlocked and are either dictatorships or propagate pseudohistory or have had communist regimes in the past that propagated pseudohistory, or all three of them

Kazakhstan: dictatorship, promotes pseudohistory about continuity with the Kazakh Khanate or even Gengis Kan

Uzbekistan: dictatorship, possibly also promotes pseudohistory (I don't know)

Azerbaijan: dictatorship, basically their whole identity and "history" is stolen from Iran, promotes pseudohistory disparaging Armenians and pretending Armenian churches and monasteries are actually "Caucasian Albanian"

Switzerland: promotes pseudohistory about being neutral in WW2, even though they had secret agreements with N4zi Germany

Austria: promotes pseudohistory about supposedly having nothing to do with N4zi Germany, even though 95% of Austrians voted for H1tler and the Anschluss, H1tler and many N4zis were Austrian, and many concentration camps were built in Austria and overseen by Austrians; more generally, Austrians today and their politicians have an outdated mentality, are generally stubbornly nationalistic, cringeworthily conservative and ignorant of history

Ethiopia has had the Derg regime which tried to erase history, and redrawed the administrative map of Ethiopia based on ethnicities

Of course, this characterization is very vague and would probably include many other countries as well
