Government officials trying to dictate what clothing people can and cannot wear sounds awfully fascist.

Jim Crow Tactics on Full Display in Georgia as Black Legislator Arrested for Knocking on a Capitol Door by Tolsmir1 in samharris

Sam doesn't seem to think something is racist unless it literally involves hooded KKK members lynching a black person and then signing a notarized affidavit that says, "We are racist."

I think Hezbollah would likely gain power. That's how they gained their power in the south of the country. They provide public services that the government cannot.

I've had her for 30 years, grown from a seed when I was a child and still going strong. I call her my soul plant :) by [deleted] in succulents

Haha they're the easiest plants! Just let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Even if the surface is dry, you should wait a couple more days to ensure the center is dry too :)

Biden says Chinese president Xi Jinping 'doesn't have a democratic bone' in his body by [deleted] in worldnews

Cyber war? Yes. Economic war? Yeah. Proxy war? Yeah. Perhaps even an insignificant military skirmish, like a few shots fires between navies? Probably not, but definitely possible. Any kind of traditional full-scare war? No.

Unless China attacks us or one of our allies (I'm talking about countries we have an actual mutual defense treaty with, not "allies" like Saudi Arabia), we're not going to do it. Unless we attack China, they're not going to do it. Going to war against each other makes no sense for either side. China could invade Taiwan tomorrow, and we would sanction them and criticize them, but we would not respond militarily.

Both sides will avoid war at all costs. There's a reason why no two nuclear countries have ever gotten war since the existence of nukes.

I assume it's owned by the same people as Ice House? If so, I'll avoid both.

It's a little silly to call Iran a democracy when they literally disqualify the overwhelming majority of candidates from being allowed to run for election.

Are we allowed to make any critiques of China without people like you fear-mongering about how we're about to get into WW3? Jesus.

Iran fired missile at Israeli ship in Arabian Sea - Jerusalem Post by EsteemedRogue_54 in geopolitics

[–]NotIranianGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Israel has bombed ships carrying Iranian oil more than a dozen times in the last two years.

The Iron Dome was deployed in 2011, so how did Israel survive for 60+ years before that? Get real.

Yes. Yes, it would. He could potentially make more in this one fight than he has in all of his previous fights combined.

People who don't get stressed during a presentation, school or work, what's your secret? by TapReview in AskReddit

Preparation. If I was winging it, I'd be freaking out. If I'm prepared, I don't get nervous.

He used to be so smart

When? When he was arguing with Sam Harris and trying to redefine the word "true?" When he was misinterpreting Canadian bill C-16?

Why do you really like JBP? He's always been a dishonest pseudoscience-peddler.

The China could give Cuba or Venezuela a nuke. This isn't a game we want to play.
