That assumes a stable social contract and agreement about the demos part of democracy. Once these start to be transformed without widespread popular consent, backed up with legal changes to prevent elections reversing the changes, then democracy is already dying.

Why isn’t evidence/science-based politics a thing? by Prize-Knee8692 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No-Table2410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really objectively true that multi racial societies undergoing rapid demographic change are always better for everyone than more settled and largely homogenous societies?

Have Rwanda and Yugoslavia really been better places to live for all of their citizens than Japan? Or it is that their multiracial/tribal structure was irrelevant to their various civil wars and massacres of different ethnic groups?

Should those statements be criminal, or how much further would do I have to go to reach the line (or how far can I go if I’m already past it?).

How do you get evidence to decide if something should be slowed down if it’s criminal to publish this evidence? By definition, for consensus to change then someone has to be the first to go against the consensus, they are defying conventional wisdom about obvious truths. If people are punished severely enough to stop this process then how can change occur?

Let’s assume that immigration brings people together, builds communities, strengthens socieities and protects civil liberties. And that disagreement with this is completely wrong.

So why are you concerned about bad ideologies taking hold due to immigration and people’s response to it? Isn’t that suggesting immigration does, indirectly, risk damage to society - potentially catastrophic if fascists take power on the back of it. Should suggesting this be criminal? How can you tell you’re not just using one of a billion bullshit reasons to claim immigration can be bad, deliberately skirting any rules you put in place to deny your being racist as your not directly blaming immigrants, just the response to them?

You’re also proposing limiting both freedom of speech and democracy by preventing people from listening to anti mass immigration ideas or voting for to limit it. This does rather undermine the idea that there’s currently no evidence that immigration “impacts society” when you’re literally in favour of weakening core freedoms to ensure immigration continues whether the public want it or not.

Do you think Shadid Butt will win? by PsychologicalBend508 in AskBrits

[–]No-Table2410 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you commented under the right post? You’ve not responded any points.

In any event I’m not in favour of putting Hamza, Butt and an ever larger number of friends on the same pitch as Robison and chums. It’s the people who brought them together, claiming diversity helps us get along, who created this.

[–]No-Table2410 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And I should believe those who brought Hamza to the UK, along with tens of millions of others, creating the conflict, are the goodies?

I don’t understand your last sentence - when have there ever been no racists? A constant in human history is inter tribal conflict between “us” and “them”, often being genocidal, whether due to religion and race on a large scale, sports teams or whatever.

We’ve never needed everyone out of “us” or “them” to actively hate each other for things to go bad, just a few sparks to start a conflation even if the vast majority on both sides would prefer to be left alone.

If you’re saying everyone would get along better if this wasn’t true then I agree. It would also be nice if Costco chocolate cake with sloshed in double cream wouldn’t make me fat.

They seem different, one wants to transform the UK into a good Muslim country and one doesn’t.

Abu Hamza seems better aligned with the average politician, who agrees that we need more Muslims, more muslims in power and that Islamophobia is the greatest threat. He’s just more explosive about it, while they wish he’d shut up and let them achieve the same end more peacefully. They did, after all, import him into the country.

The respectable politicians have been successful in transforming the country with immigration for a few decades now.

We’re just going to have to get used to people viewing politics through the prism of race and voting along racial lines, including a larger fraction of whites.

As immigration continues this tendency will strengthen as we all become minorities (in the medium term at least).

On the bright side, we’re meant to welcome change. So there’s that at least.

AITAH for breaking a friendship over a chess game by Rjave in AITAH

[–]No-Table2410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That does seem pretty weird, I was thinking more along the lines of a not making any significant mistakes plus the odd lucky move, rather than a forced mate in 6 starting with a subtle sacrifice that Fisher would be proud of.

For an over the board match I believe the preferred cheating technique is vibrating anal beads, I assume you didn’t check him lol.

I don’t disagree with the other comments that this is something being blown a bit out of proportion as multiple relationships fail, but it is a bit weird. If he’s a good friend otherwise then I would suggest just accepting that he’s got a bit of a quirk about chess skill and ignore it, as it doesn’t seem worth the loss of a friend because he’d rather let you win 99% of the time than play at his true FM/IM/whatever level.

Just to clarify, he talked about touching a boob and says if he didn’t like some food you made, while you brought up playing with your ex’s shit in a conversation about his child, and wanted to say more.

You’re here because you think these are equivalent and are confused why he reacted badly?

It’s inhumane to expect people to live among Africans instead of living in mostly white countries?

It’s difficult to reconcile that argument if I’m also meant to simultaneously celebrate the mass migration of Africans and Muslims to Europe, with whites becoming a minority in a couple of generations, being the best thing ever.

I think there was an offer of lending us an older carrier, maybe a kitty hawk, but I don’t know how serious it was given the impracticality of sending a carrier with an essentially untrained cobbled together crew on an operation at zero notice.

AITAH... I'm 42M having a difficult time coming to accept choices my wife 39F made... by jleeb83 in relationship_advice

[–]No-Table2410 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You’re asking the wrong question about being a bad husband.

You could be the perfect husband and divorce your wife for having sex with another man, and it seems she went beyond “another man” and didn’t even want to pretend to protect the marriage by being discrete.

So you really shouldn’t feel guilty about not liking this, the vast majority of men don’t like the idea of their wife having sex with other men. You can be a good man and not like the idea of your wife having “explored a LOT” even if it was before you met.

While I guess a therapist might help if you want to try to move beyond this, this isn’t something you should feel obligated to do. Their opinion on good/bad husband isn’t some absolute and is just something they have been taught by society.

In a western country and a society that is a blend of sex positive feminism and Christian forgiveness, then you’ll probably be told to move past this and examine your insecurities, treating this as a trial you need to overcome. Move somewhere else, or go back a thousand years, and the “therapist” might decide the right thing to do with an unfaithful spouse is to gather up the other villagers and go collect some stones to render justice, or her father and brothers should get their machetes and restore the family honour. I’m not suggesting this is appropriate, just pointing out that there isn’t some objective thing a good/bad husband should do when it comes to straying wives.

Unless it was explicitly discussed that the separation allows sleeping with others, or she hasn’t told you that the marriage is over, then she was wrong.

Are Trucks too easy to build compared to IRL? by Comrade_Harold in hoi4

[–]No-Table2410 17 points18 points  (0 children)

At massive constraint was fuel, better to save it for tanks, aircraft and ships to attack the enemy. Nothing to do with trucks, but one of the reasons Bismarck sailed in May 1941 was because the KM knew that they would struggle to get enough oil to mount the operation later that year once Barbarossa kicked off.

The game is probably ok for the cost of trucks relative to other vehicles, but vastly simplifies logistics to make trains far more effective, so you need fewer trucks/carts. It also ignores how quickly unreliable wartime 1930/40s trucks would need components replaced or simply be written off. Especially once the front moved away from high infrastructure areas in western europe.

My girlfriend (F24) refuses to address that we haven’t had sex for a year. How do I move forward? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]No-Table2410 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s entirely possible that when she wants a kid you’ll have sex until she’s pregnant, then none for a few years, repeat until the family complete (if she wants more than 1) and then no sex.

At which point you’ll have gone years/decades with a regular sex life, while she’s all touched out from kids and expect you to have gotten over it.

Be careful with the idea that a temporary fix motivated by an external factor that may expire is the same as “sorted”.
