And are also the leading countries promoting cleaner alternatives to all human activites.
What you're missing is that if underdeveloped countries were even capable of reaching the same stage of development we and East Asian countries enjoy, they would contribute as much, and that is actually their goal.
There are lots of components of "non-war stuff" that originated from military R&D, and probably would appear much later if it wasn't for the Defense Budget.
>but hate speech (in the form of blatant transphobia)
I really hope you Red Army wannabes one day get what you deserve. You think you are the defender of the weak but you openly threaten someone's livelihood because one doesn't follow the new liberal gospel.
It's a shame ESR can't say whatever he wants because he's genuinely afraid.
> and are overtly hostile to Judaism, as prescribed by their religion.
What does the Talmud say about the Goyim?
>is it really so wrong for a nation to implement laws to preserve its culture, particularly when it's people constitute a tiny fraction of the global population
It's ok, natural and healthy for Israel, but not for the rest of the world, where that is nationalism and equates to ideologies of the 1930s.
And it is. So is Transcarpathia (Zakarpattia Oblast) part of Hungary, and other parts or Ukraine that should belong to Romania and even some to Poland.
Their current borders are an accident that should have long been solved diplomatically, but alas here we are.
>Danger is, if Putin can portray this as west vs Russia, he could start enlisting people from far-left and far-right.
The danger was these maneuvers that even in the Bush era, people recognized they would be deemed unacceptable by Russia.
And the whole handling of the relations with Ukraine since the events of 2014.
This situation is far more complex than "Kremlin man bad".
Unfortunately the people who will pay for these are not diplomats or the big interests that played this situation as a game, it will be the average Ukrainian who see their country torn apart, and in a lesser extent the average Russian, severely affected by sanctions.
Hispanic is just a bad name for the category as it is not a race as a descendent of portuguese or spanish, or any other european people, with no intermixture with native americans, or vice-versa, are both hispanics.
Hence why Americans have to distinguish between white or non-white hispanics.
>given what this country has done on social media to control foreign elections
What has Russian done that
a) Directly affects the results, such as hacking any system where electronic vote is possible.
b) Any kind of propaganda or lobbying that any other country such as the USA, England or Israel don't also engage to make public opinion more sympathetic to them.
>Are the legacies of dead white men the only possible way to organize all knowledge?
The evil dead white men. If only anything prevented non-white living (wo)men to make something of their own without impacting the legacy of these "dead white men".
No surprise the article mentions lots of white women, who can't go a day about trying to change what white men built without coming up with something demonstrably better.
I am sure in those "scientific sexism" section they mention, there are a couple of books on how the affluent white female liberal is the vehicle of societal decay.
>Hobbes gets a bad rap because it sounds pretty horrible sitting in the peace and comfort of the 21st century. But we have to remember that the general attitude of "I better kill him before he kills me" (a kind of fear) has been the dominant cause of violence for most of human history.
Only naive Europeans, mostly western and the Anglophone countries, still believe this.
The rest of the world laugh at us and our political leaders who don't have a backbone. Just look at the situation in the Ukrainian border.
And your notion that the use of Violence is related to fear and not power speaks volumes.
A quote from someone who understands this really well:
“To the meaningless French idealisms: Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, we propose the three German realities: Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery.”
