Thank you!

You can really tell that with the new clusterfucks drawing all the attention, things like social progress and fighting climate change are being neglected.

Generally questions like these vary by jurisdiction. Some allow trying a minor as an adult, like others have pulled out of their ass. Some don’t, some might not distinguish or don’t bother with a right to trial of any kind.

It’s a pretty typical principle that you try someone as they and the laws were at the time of the offence, though.

Only video games. Although I’d be okay without either honestly.

Alright, that’s fair.

Yeah, a lot is produced for export, though. Like that would be true of Vietnam, for example. All to get that forex to import things Vietnam doesn’t make much of. There’s literally only two passenger jet manufacturers, for example.

Plenty of Holocaust survivors at the time were very explicitly against the taking of land from a pre-existing population, and understood that to make it a Jewish state you’d need to remove the people there… somehow.

Do you have an example in mind? Enough people survived that I had assumed this, but then again plenty ended up in Israel as well.

The religious arguments against were definitely a thing, and it took quite a bit of propaganda to get the Sephardis to care either way, since most of the drama was in Europe.

Nice! Actually, I wonder if my source was using post-tax income, as well. Although OP didn’t specify.

By the statistics, I’m pretty sure that puts you in the top 10%, at least. Edit: Nah, just top 20%, at least as a household.

The thing is that until they literally own a private jet most people will assume they’re average or middle class (even in this thread). It’s like a psychological defense. You’re probably getting information out of a bubble.

the world had treated them like shit for thousands of years.

More like just Europe. Pre-Roman Jewish history reads pretty similarly to the history of their neighbors. In the Muslim world some stuff happened, but the religions actually agree on a lot, and I’d guess the other various minorities got it worse. In Christendom they were kind of the only group to punch down at, so it got really bad. The Roman period is complicated, and I’m not sure how much is even recorded about the more far flung diasporas.

Continue using a custom ROM.

If more brands start locking down their devices I’ll have a conundrum, and it’ll start being about antique hunting. More apps requiring an “approved” OS would also do it, but geopolitics will stop that from going too far in the near future.

Well there you go, from the horse’s mouth, they roughed her up at least a little. That’s pretty bold, now she can make hay of it.

Hurt people hurt people.

Hmm. Do you know if there’s been a poll of the diaspora? There’s pretty strong motivators to look the other way when people like you do something bad, and I’ve kind of assumed I’m outnumbered.

Cuba then? Even NK trades a lot with China. Developed countries import cheap stuff from undeveloped countries. Undeveloped countries import a lot of technical, complicated to produce stuff from developed countries, because it’s hard to bootstrap that kind of production from scratch.

Just three words isn’t a lot to work with, which is probably why you’re being downvoted.

Standards weren’t exactly flags in the modern sense, which IIRC started in the early modern era, but it’s the same idea.

Yep. It’s fair to say countries are in the way, but it’s not the whole game.

Maybe? I feel like there’s at least been pockets of history where we successfully resist it, so I have hope. Like, where I live right now, seriously hating any reasonably self-contained group is taboo and the exception.

If we really can’t overcome it somehow, the rest of history is going to be at least as hellish as the past, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Literally, not all Jews.

Yep. That Israelis happen to be Jewish should be a lesson in how no ethnicity is safe from falling into this.

Going by the username and followup, OP is just an open neonazi, though.

Excellent, I’m basically a taller Napoleon now. I just need a million more or so.

^{(Yes, I know he was average for the time)}
