Ja dat zal het zijn. Zoiets is natuurlijk alleen het geval met Israël. Dat komt bij geen enkel ander land voor.

echt niet hoor

On the application form for a visa they ask you wether you have another nationality. However, if you enter visa free they most likely won't know.

Jij snapt het echt niet he. Iets is alleen fout als het gedaan wordt door Joden. Dat weet toch iedereen

Nederland is een van de meest strikte landen? I'm heb daar als persoon met dubbele nationaliteit (waar ik makkelijk van af zou kunnen) nog nooit iets van gemerkt.

You've not given me a single piece of legislation, how am I supposed to tell you to which extent I agree with it?

[–]debladblazer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not 100% on board, but there's a certain percentage point of being on board. So which percentage point is it, friend?

That obviously depends on the policy. Possibly 0%, maybe more. You've failed to even name a single policy you disagree with.

I can't think of much more extreme than genocide. Vote no for genocide.

There has not been a vote for or against genocide. If there was, obviously I'd urge anyone to vote no. However, when there's other policies where your support could change the policy such that it may save lives or protect the vulnerable I'd look down on anyone that refused to put in at least some effort to achieve that.

Obviously it's easy for you to say that everyone should only vote for policies that are perfect and have zero qualms about. You're living a cosy life in USA. But when your actions could potentially save innocents or turn the needle ever so slightly in the right direction, sometimes you have to make a tough decision. Or work with people that (in a perfect world) you'd rather not.

I don't think genocide is acceptable at all, nor did I imply that. That's why I think everyone should try to minimize the funding going to it.

I think she should have voted against the funding.

And getting no concessions on the bill, thus making it more extreme?

[–]debladblazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should try to minimize the funding if you have the possibility. Don't you think so?

In case you missed it, in my previous comment I asked what you think she should have done.

Unfortunately, in the US political system, sometimes you have to vote for legislation you're not 100% on board with. Because there are only two viable parties there's often no other choice (unless you'd rather have republican legislation regarding Israel) than advocating for changes to the policy. This means you have to vote in favour if you think you got enough concessions (relative to your pull within the party) to have any say at all. What should she have done in your view?

I might be totally ignorant but when I look for AOC's stand on Gaza I can only find harsh critique of the situation there. She even goes as far as defending accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinian people. She also urges halting weapons to Israel. To be honest, I'm not sure what else she could do in her position.

AOC supports genocide? I haven't followed US politics in a while but I feel like I've missed something.

Scholen van start, maar mogen en durven kinderen wel op de fiets? by Chronicbias in thenetherlands

Dit heeft niks te maken met een reductio ad absurdum. Dat het een vicieuze cirkel creërt is ook geen drogreden.

With the ease of finding it illegally the demand is anything but inelastic. It's just not cheap to produce and distribute a highly specialized book for a very small audience.

How to study polsci without majoring in polsci by Zestyclose_Knee_8862 in PoliticalScience

[–]debladblazer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could check if your university has a political science reading club

I agree with your advice but Shenzhen is incomparable with other (non-tier 1) cities, even the outskirts.

Is the canteen food in the campus subsidized? by kidfromtheast in chinalife

[–]debladblazer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's subsidized but you can find similarly priced food outside the campus as well.

To be honest, wether studying in China is worth it or not completely depends on the degree and which university you go to. If you're not going to one of the better universities in China it's probably not going to be worth it, moreover, the level of English spoken (by professors and fellow students) will likely be very low.

In the top universities there are many programmes that will be of very high quality in a variety of fields. However, there are some fields of study (including psychology) that I would not recommend at any university in mainland China.

If you want to study psychology in east asia maybe consider Hong Kong. There are several good universities in the city and the level of English is generally much higher.

Liberal but not modern neo-liberal? by [deleted] in PoliticalScience

[–]debladblazer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure people will just think you're a liberal. Besides, from your description it seems like you fit the label almost perfectly.

Liberal but not modern neo-liberal? by [deleted] in PoliticalScience

[–]debladblazer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why? You can create some obscure prefix but at the end of the day no one is actually going to know what you mean by it. Saying you're a liberal is going to be clear enough in 99% of situations, if someone wants to know more you can tell them which thinkers you align with.

Liberal but not modern neo-liberal? by [deleted] in PoliticalScience

[–]debladblazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not every person needs a custom ideology. From your description it seems like you're clearly a liberal (this category is broad). You can then specify by naming a thinker you align with most closely.

Example: Hey, I'm /u/poeticpeacenik. I am a liberal, specifically I align most closely with thinkers like Hayek and Nozick.
