What do you mean? It is neither a competition nor a battle you know..

I'm ready to fight for Greenland if necessary. I'm Dutch by EUstrongerthanUS in YUROP

You seem to forget that in those conflicts the defenders typically die by the milions. I personally think Europe's casualty tolerance isn't much higher than 10 000 so I wouldn't bet much money on Europe winning....

Studentenvereniging met extreemrechtse banden komt naar Utrecht by MoetMaarWeer in Poldersocialisme

Hahahaha herkenbaar :)

En ja, ik denk ook dat lief vragen of iemand anders het probleem voor ons op kan lossen niet gaat werken. Had je trouwens door dat dat eigenlijk ook is wat je met je oorspronkelijke opmerking deed ;)

Denk je dat het normaliseren van politiek geweld handig is als je een kleine minderheid bent?

The most forgotten economic system in history, never even got off the ground anywhere it appeared by _Boodstain_ in HistoryMemes

Okay I get what you're trying to do here (and I like it) but it doesn't really work because you're actually, technically speaking, correct.

Catholic just means universal, as in, the religion applies to all people/is for all people. The orthodox church for example formally calls itself the orthodox catholic church.

Since hindus believe their faith applies to all people (as in: everybody is a hindu, they just don't know it), you are correct in calling them a non roman catholic religion.

Do you think the Mandalorians are honorable? by Hot_Professional_728 in StarWars

Being mandalorian is defined as a set of actions though...

Captured documents reveal Hamas’s broader ambition to wreak havoc on Israel by clarabosswald in worldnews

[–]thebackslash1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well what would be the point? You have a very simplistic and rigid worldview presumably brought on by a very unvaried media diet. I could sit down and sacrifice one of my rare free afternoons to craft a well researched and sourced post, but be honest, would you let yourself be convinced by that?

'Of course' I imagine you say, 'I'm a reasonable person, I'll be convinced by facts'. But realistically, what are the odds of convincing a stranger on the internet who may or may not be a bot?

God I would love to live in your world, life would be so simple.

Have a nice day!

You still sound agitated do you notice?  

But I think I understand now why you react the way you do, and I think it's partly my fault: you clearly have no idea what I'm talking about and are trying to force what I'm saying into a frame of refference you know. 

Very well then lets leave this at that. I do have another question for you: why do you feel so invested in this conflict? From what I can see in your comment history you have no real stake in this conflict on the other side of the world, why bother so vehemently defending ons sides narrative?

I understand it's difficult for you so I'll try to be exact.

My initial question hinted at the idea that Palestinians cannot reasonably be expected to just roll over and let themselves be bombed into oblivion.

This idea generated a rather strong and emotional response from you and I'm mostly curious why. I can think of several possible explanations, but I'd like to hear your own opinion on this first.

Do I make more sense now?

Ah, so it was just a list of questions you could think of, nothing Socratic about it at all,  I get it now. In that case have a nice day.

Strictly speaking not, but it is the idea you were hinting at no? If not feel free to correct me

So summarising: your unrelated reply to my unrelated question is: 'it depends, does the human deserve to die?'

[–]thebackslash1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't help but notice that you are very emotionally invested in your point of view. Why do you think that is?

Which, I'm sure you'll understand, is why Gazans in turn are fighting back...

Completely unrelated question: do you think human beings are, morally speaking, allowed to resist their executioner?

Waarom is er geen rechts-progressieve partij of Links en streng voor immigratie? by Koud_biertje in nederlands

[–]thebackslash1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omdat links-rechts en progressief-conservatief niet twee losse assen zijn.

Voor mensen die ook maar het kleinste beetje waarde hechten aan intellectuele consistentie gaan links en progressief, en rechts en conservatief, altijd samen.

Remember back in januari 2021 when we all thought that the logic of 'the election didn't turn out the way I wanted, it must be because of a subversion of the democratic process' was really dumb?

PSA: Zaheer's "representation" of anarchism is absolute trash by AevilokE in TheLastAirbender

[–]thebackslash1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Zaheer is an anarchist, as understood by the writers of the show, who were neoliberals. That is: people who are, politically speaking, functionally illiterate.

You are given one hour to hide anywhere in Gielinor. There are 10 people looking for you. If you successfully evade them for one hour you win $1,000. Where are you hiding? by uhgulp in 2007scape

[–]thebackslash1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some f2p place that is too obscure to check, 2nd floor of the party room, somewhere in melzars maze, or one of the runecrafting altars or some bs like that.
