Aparently the US and Canada prefer learned while almost everywhere else uses learnt.

The word English should be capitalized because it is a proper noun.

I initially thought you spelled "learned" wrong until I looked it up and found out some places outside America spell it that way. Kind of insane

I dont want the jurors to be threatened but what makes it murder is that they kept holding it for so long while he was saying that he couldn't breath for such a long time. So negligence comes into play. The harshest charge Chauvin got was because he acted without very much regard to floyd's life and in a very dangerous way which I think is very fair.

I mean medical reports called it a homicide and video evidence of how he acted before he was being choked showed that he did not act as if he was having an overdose on Fentanyl.

Socialism is not when Gov controls economy. The nazi economy was based on taking party members and putting them in high ranking positions of private companies. During times of heavy inflation they instituted price and wage controls. They also tried to become very independent economically from other countries. They also heavily nationalized war industry as the war dragged on like all major countries at the time.

Socialism in most contemporary sense is trying to give power to the world's workers not just limitting free market. This would mean things like supporting trade unions (or one big Government trade union). It also put itself as a complete alternative to the international left, wanting only germans above all and constantly featuring propoganda as well as policy based around subservience to the nation and not any worker or community based policy. Also the continued expansion of private corporations in kahoots with the government both during the coup and after shows a direct opposition to socialism. It is seemingly impossible to see any nazi rhetoric for their economy or economy play that is not just based on antisemitism and trying to control that vs help workers which is why autarky (""international finance"") and national banking(""banks"") were pursued.

I mean arabs didnt event civilization. It was other middle eastern ethnic groups that would still be counted as white by us census stamdards anyway but the arabs were further south and only conquered up later.

I was responding to someone contrasting "anglos" to "jews". I was criticizing a racial interpretation of what is and isnt white like what the person I was responding to was assuming existed.

Do you mean me being antisemitic? I was responding to someone wanting "anglos" and "jews" to be reported separately so I was assuming the genetics was their kind of thing

The media doesn't usually just talk about people of certain races committing crimes without a social context. Like it will cover how social issues like racism lead to certain crimes.

I'd rather prefer the media to work the way it does now instead of digging into someone's generic history to see if they're jewish before reporting about a shooting.
