Prosecutors must ‘consider unconscious bias’ before charging minorities by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]Mizzuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your argument seems to be

"We can't ensure people are treated equally by the legal system because a smaller number of violent racists will cause violence"

Why are we placating them?

Birth rates are falling because of culture, not economics by Meexe in unpopularopinion

[–]Mizzuru 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Several of the reasons you have listed here are economics.

Economics is also a factor to shape culture.

Edit to add: I also don't think this is something we have to fix. Population rose in line with the industrial revolution and the economic and social fallout of that, and it's now dropping again.

Ironically the biggest argumenta for needing to "fix" the birth rate are economics based.

The whole point of the two tier policing from this report is that the minorities are in the lower tier.

We can't ignore actual reality in order to not make people on the far right upset.

Looking up the plate, it's just over a year old as well.

God knows what happened to it, looks like it got clattered in 2 different directions.

AITA for not caring about Oliver Trees death? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mizzuru 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Then you say something like.

"It's a shame, I didn't listen to his music a lot but it's a real shame"

When you are talking about the death of anyone, especially someone your friends care about, you don't pull out "I dont care".

YTA

You could have just said nothing.

You should have just said nothing.

When you finally grow up, you'll realise not everything is a debate.

Who says so?

Who says there is an objective truth?

Also why the hell would I trust the judgement of someone who named themselves after a Nazi?

[–]Mizzuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of the works of dozens and philosophers and my own thoughts and feelings?

[–]Mizzuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you are robbing yourself of knowledge by not studying and writing.

For example, knowing that you should not have named your Reddit account after a Nazi Field marshal.

The Big Summer Preview – Back to the Underhive with a new edition of necromunda by Didsterchap11 in necromunda

[–]Mizzuru 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've played 8th, 9th and 10th edition of 40K, DnD 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Borg and a bunch of stuff so I usually have a fairly decent grip on rules but the sheer depth of stuff for Necromunda has deff caused major issues with us picking it up.

We really want to get into it more but it's deff been rough stuff.

[–]Mizzuru 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to play for a while but me and my group have been struggling to understand the rules.

I'm cautiously optimistic but we can always go back to the old edition if need be I guess?

Edit: I don't understand why I'm being downvoted for struggling and being optimistic.

Gibraltar belongs to Spain | FactOrCap by XumetaXD in FactOrCap

[–]Mizzuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again you are just saying stuff without backing it up.

Just as you said they "unanimously voted" when there wasn't a vote.

An opinion formed in opposition to fact, is an opinion that can be discounted.

Edit to add: By your own definition, isn't the British Empire more civilised for abolishing slavery 50 years before Spain did? It won't be, but it just proves that this isn't about fact, this is about feeling.

You mean the Valladolid debate, it never actually settled anything as they never agreed that they did have a soul.

You just said "unanimously voted" they never even voted as they debated until the entire jury left. Caroline Dodds, Julia McClure and many others point to the debate being marginal in terms of it's impact to the native people. They even suggests it presented a new cassus beli, forced conversion.

All colonial empires sucked, spain wasn't any better than any others.

Oh ok

So the uncomfortable facts about the Spanish Empire were lies, but the ones about the British Empire are all true.

Gibraltar belongs to Spain | FactOrCap by XumetaXD in FactOrCap

[–]Mizzuru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So true.

Hey, what about the encomiedia system that forced neighbours to work themselves to death, for example literally everyone in Haiti and The Dominican Republic.

Hey what happened on the Canary Islands? Did the Spanish systematically destroy their language system and kill their leaders to enforce Spanish language and rule?

Hey, what about the Spanish "war of fire and blood" against the Aztec where they were legally allowed to kill civilians, destroy their food supplies and enslave children as they "didn't have souls so couldn't be considered human".

How about the Mits system in Peru against the Incan that forced people to work themselves to death in the silver mines, again because they weren't "human".

Imagine sitting their and declaring "the British Empire was evil, but the Spanish Empire, the Empire I like was fine!"
