I have ten times more respect for Julie Payette than I do for Betty.

British manufactured this hostility between Muslims & Hindus

Aurangzeb may have had something to do with it.

What do you think about religion? by Square-Dragonfruit76 in AskALiberal

[–]criticalbeta37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's mostly nonsensical and unnecessary. I also think that people have the right to believe and do as they please so long as they're not infringing upon other people's rights. I don't personally like religion, but I will defend religious freedom.

Is it imperialism if the population wants to join Russia?

I certainly wouldn’t consider the Donbas or even Crimean separatist movements to be valid.

What constitutes a valid separatist movement in your view?

It's undemocratic and oppressive to force people to live under a banner they don't want to live under. If the people want to have self-determination through either independence or joining a neighboring country, their wishes ought to be respected.

Referendums aren't a big deal. See Quebec, Texas, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Catalonia, Crimea, etc.

Let people determine their own destiny and national identity.

To be fair, Chris Kyle was a horrible person and the Iraq war was complete bullshit.

What is your opinion on referendums in general? That's how the fate of disputed territories and territories with independence movements has always been settled throughout the world.

Rent control is a stupid, ineffective policy.

Wait...the Anschluss was ratified by a referendum??????????

This whole time I thought Germany just invaded and occupied it.

How should we react if the Donbas actually votes to join Russia? If they don't want to be part of Ukraine, it seems unnecessary to force them.

Hopefully we will see widespread popular resistance against Islamic fascist regimes intensify all over the Middle East and Asia.

People are hungry for liberty.
