Its a lot easier to "bootstrap" yourself in a country with a functional government. The ultra rich don't want to pay the taxes that keeps civilization running. People like Elon Musk would not be on top in a Mad Max…
I was reading the obituary of the Dutch guy who helped Pakistan get its nukes a few weeks ago. Thanks to him and a few visionaries the balance was maintained Harper style!
Ask one of these famed Catholics how they feel about democracy or gender equality and they are just like all the other Christians. After all they get their orders from the same book.
All of Europe celebrated May day. All of Europe? No one village stood against the lazy commie legions!
I recall Apple's commercial slogan "There's an app for that" Apple did not write those apps themselves.
People remember those days because the Republicans hadn't destroyed trade unions and the pension system yet.
Giving up your economy for a future war with China that may or may not happen is frankly idiotic. The US already has thousands of nuclear warheads in storage so what are you afraid of? This is basically how the USSR…
Thank you it seems everyone has already forgotten project 2025. Look I don't want to be too harsh on Americans nobody took the Nazis seriously when they had already written a book about how they saw the world... But…
I disagree. The root cause is obviously Israel founding which was the the last colonial project that Western European countries undertook. I predict that in the next decades Europe will cut ties with Israel completely…
This Yemen situation is quite interesting. In 1948 nobody could have conceived a situation in which white people wouldn't be running the world, Dutch people were still religious and public opinion was pro Israel.…
I always think that if you have a very expensive dress you're better of bringing it to a professional dry cleaner service anyway.
Culture can be changed. That's the power of Western countries- constant change. Nothing is ever set in stone.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8rk5d7ekjmo I found this article interesting. Personally I think starvation is a very low bar to clear. What matters to the first world is whether or not India has a middle class that…
It's called living in a high trust society.
Printers are mostly used by companies and they don't care. It's all tax deductible.
If China wants Taiwan back the only thing they need to do is make sure the US Navy and cargo ships can't reach the island.
Yeah I like the first book the most. The series went off the rails.
When a famous media personality was assassinated the police managed to catch the killers within hours. Turns out they really DO track every car on the highway- it wasn't just bragging. Every rich country is a…
Actually I think the message that people should get is that folks LIKE fascism. Germans loved Hitler until Stalingrad.
This sums up the history of Western countries.
Was it even possible to make a legal Spotify? I don't recall that any of the music labels were actually renting out MP3s.
Well speaking for myself: the reason why I keep using Microsoft stuff is because I grew up with it. The first computer that I owned came with 98SE. At this point in my life I do not really want to learn new programmes.…
Actually most countries did not choose freedom of religion. Protestant countries kicked the Catholics out and vice versa. The Netherlands was for a long time the only place in Europe that considered religion to be a…
Crypto bros are the perfect victims. Nobody likes them.
In fairness I think that these "locked doors" are to keep the homeless/drug users out or kids starting fires not really burglars.
