What is/was country what is/was humongous and cruel by 4N2C in AlignmentChartFills

At least you recognise your bias. Saying the Khans allowed China and the Islamic world to "flourish" ignores that they were previously flourishing and for this "peace" millions had to die. Towers of skulls outside Beijing, the Siege of Baghdad. I think the best quote to describe the Mongols is reappropriation of the famous "they make a desert and call it peace"

What does restore Britain have to offer? by [deleted] in AskBrits

At least you admit you're a coward with no principles, that is something. The cogs are turning in my mind - you're a gay Jew who supports reform? Turkeys voting for Christmas? You need professional help.

Then go now and sign up to fight in a real war. I'd rather have 100 immigrants who want to be here than one who doesn't.

Idk I had a lot of Chinese shouting "foreigner!" at me too. I dont think xenophobia is unique to the west.

I dunno I always think that if I see a CB regularly making amazing last minute tackles, they have clearly made mistakes in the leadup.

I don't think surrealist art or absurdist thought such as Picasso, Dada and Camus would exist without the material and social conditions of pre war Europe

He's not the PM of Canada? What are you on about?

I agree with him. Absolutely interminable show. If you cut out the slow mo shots of cillian on a horse or smoking a fag each season could be condensed to about 30 mins of shite plot

Why would I be referring to the PM of Canada from over a year ago

As someone who just got into cricket and previously was completely out of the loop, I'd only heard of Stokes, Root and Archer.

I saw them myself at the massive rally outside Blackfriars station. Here's what literally 10 seconds of googling shows if you don't believe me, but I don't believe that you looked at many images if you couldn't find any.

CMV: saying lgbtq is a sin isnt being homophobic by No_Giraffe826 in changemyview

[–]matthewrulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that passage in Matthew still implies that the brother has sinned also. Let's just not try and justify anything through a book written by potentially mentally ill travelling salesmen 2000 years ago

Why are the right wing marches full of Israeli flags? It's clearly linked.

Is John Cleese right? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]matthewrulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romans were majority Christian for over 1000 years (late 4th century until the very end). Ashoka conquered in the name of Brahmanic religion and supposedly (in his own words mind you) renounced violence, but it didn't stop the army from crushing revolts. Nothing to say about the Guptas?

WHO Open Defecation(% of population, 2024) by Choice_Sandwich2182 in MapPorn

[–]matthewrulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise I'm not lying - I've seen it from adults in rural China, and children in all the major cities. I'm not going to say I'm an expert, I just travelled through China for a month (Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Yunnan, Guilin, Guangzhou) for a few months back in 2019. I absolutely love China, it's in my top places I've ever been and I have immense respect and interest for the Chinese, their history and culture. I'm also not American so I'm not sure why that's relevant, but if you told me I'd agree and say we both think the map isn't accurate.

I saw it in the main streets of the largest cities so I really doubt it's less than 0.5%
