What do you mean by "dishonerable" here? Is this an instance of how Americans love the military so much that it's difficult to understand for people from other countries (where being a military isn't different from…
I was reading up on the history of Iran the other day and thinking: "wow, how can a relatively educated and secular country end up with such fanatical laws?". This sounds likes it's in the same wavelength. I'm…
Maybe the germans had the same excuse? This is a reason that has been given for centuries to justify invading and occupying countries. But if you're in favor of colonization then you won't have an issue with this scene.…
German occupies (French occupies Morroco)
I dislike this scene for personal (?) / historical (?) reasons. The French are singing this nice liberation / freedom song against the germans. This is nice and all, but they are in freaking occupied Morocco, not…

Not trying to nitpick, but as far as I know, Taiwan was occupied by Japan starting from 1895, so China didn't inherit it in 1911. I guess this shows how unfundamented is the current chinese territorial claim. Xinjiang…
I think all tools that allow you to externalize thinking can have a similar effect (not trying to diminish how novel AI / ML can be, just making a few connections) For example: when you write equations on a piece of…
>Netanyahu may be good, or not, but he is most definitely not a dictator He's not a dictator for the israelis, but let's not forget that he rules over an apartheid state and for the palestinians (who don't get to vote,…
Why do you think it's fundamentally fragile? The soviet union lasted for about 70 years. China has had a unique party for around 70 years (and no signs of ot changing anytime soon). What other types of government are…
