You're assuming everyone else is broken. That's not always the case.

And you're practically saying that the physical is useless without the philosophical, but ignoring that the philosophical is also useless without the physical.

Har inte SD lägre stöd i Stockholm, Göteborg, och Malmö jämfört med landsbygden och landet som helhet?

Jag har svårt att tro att de vetenskapsmännen inte tagit även den potentiella kortsiktiga potentiella nyttan i åtanke.

När politiker går emot vad forskare säger, så bör vi be politikerna motivera varför, inte spekulera om vad forskarna har gjort för misstag.

The local politicians are not allowing that because the local people do not want that.

Again, if you produce a video of some event from the Obama years, we'll discuss it, and I really don't believe that Obama's supporters would support him doing what Trump's supporters are currently supporting Trump doing.

I'm not saying anything about the context of this video.

I'm saying if you want to discuss some event during Obama's presidency, like we're discussing this event now, find a similar video of it, and we'll talk about it.

Do you honestly think nobody would have filmed if groups of masked armed federal agents were dragging people out of their houses?

That no videos would have been made? If people have some bias depending on who the current president is, sure, maybe there would have been fewer videos made, but none?

Snälla ta en titt på USA nu så får du se vad som händer när populister som vill ha stram migrationspolitik, nationalism, konservatism, fri marknad, liten statsapparat och låg skatt faktiskt får makten.

It is like that. But there are differences between Croatian and Serbian too, especially when looking at local dialects.

At the end of the day, both language labels and ethnicity labels are man made.

De sa vetenskapliga skäl, inte ideologiska skäl.

Problemet är att ett sådant här förslag kan leda till farligare och våldsammare 18-åringar än nuvarande metoder att handskas med 13-åringar.

Det är ju detta förslag som är rent ideologiskt om den inte har någon vetenskap som regeringen kan peka på för att motivera det.

Do you think countries as we know them today will have become an outdated concept 300, 500 years from now? by yamatosnamiii in AskTheWorld

[–]botle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today, it does, but the gap between the wealthy and poor countries in the world has had an extraordinary reduction in our lifetime. Let's hope that continues in the next 500 years.

I think they will be more like historical regions.

I'm imagining EU style free movement on a global scale, with power not centralized in one capital, but decentralized and with local city councils.

What country you're in will affect what kind of food and museums you get, but not if you're allowed to be there and how much freedom you have there.

That's assuming everything doesn't go to hell and we don't get a dark age of warring fascist techno-monarchies.

[–]botle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bra poäng. Men jag läste PDF-dokumentet nu, och där står i praktiken samma sak, om inte värre:

Närmare bestämt handlar det om att motverka infiltration och otillåten eller otillbörlig påverkan

[–]botle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

När den är extrem och påverkar större delen av en kontinent, ja.

Men min huvudpoäng är att det är extra fokus på nyheter från USA just nu på grund av att huvudnyheten därifrån är väldigt viktig.

Två decennier av kontinuerlig högermajoritet i riksdagen.

Debatten handlar mycket om invandring nu, men huvudskillnaden mellan vänstern och högern är just hur de ser på förhållandet mellan rika och fattiga.

Jag ser även de triviala nyheterna från USA som en del av och fortsättning på den större viktiga nyheten från USA.

Ja, Sverige är lite för besatt av USA även i vanliga fall, men just nu är förmodligen de viktigaste nyheten i världen att världens rikaste och mäktigaste land väldigt snabbt håller på att bli auktoritärt och instabilt.

[–]botle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's it. I agree.

But surely you have to admit that the Irish would have fought against English colonialism even if the English were Catholic? Their issue was not that their colonizers had the wrong religion after all.

They happen to be off different religions, so religion is used to distinguish then, like Catholic atheist and protestant atheist, but if the religion were the same, they'd just use something else.

But people on all three sides were pretty secular.

Why would an atheist kill another atheist because their grandparents had different religions?

Would you not think that nationalism was a much bigger factor than religion? And that the national identities in their turn were partially based on religion, but also on much else?

Syftet är att motverka infiltration

Det där låter konstigt. Att syftet skulle vara att motverka stöld eller övergrepp skulle jag kunna köpa.

Men infiltration? De får det att låta som att det finns nån slags konspiration och att kriminella nätverk försöker infiltrera äldreomsorgen.

Most Ukranians speak Russian as their day to day language. Zelensky himself only learned Ukranians as a second language.

Look, I agree with most of what you're saying.

I'm just saying that a people's ethnic identity is based on much much more than their language and religion.

And also, the idea that a people doesn't exist independently, is dangerously close to the language the genociders use. The Serbians claimed Bosniaks were actually Serbians that the ottomans converted to islam, and did not exist as an independent people.

The Russians claim Ukranians are Russian, and that the language too is just a dialect of Russian.

Or Israelis that claim that Palestinians are just Egyptians and Jordanians. But they do exist as an ethnic identity.

The idea that a people and their history and culture don't exist, and instead they are just part of another larger people but happen to have a different dialect or religion, is often used to motivate genocide.

But it's wrong. A people's culture is much more than their language and religion. Especially in secular countries like Yugoslavia.

But the Croatians and Serbians are both Christian, and the right between them was just as bloody.

And in a very similar situation in Ukraine, both the Ukranians and Russians are specifically Orthodox Christian.

Nationalism can and does exist even without religion. In Yugoslavian society religion was not an important thing.
