military organization of citizens with limited military training, which is available for emergency service, usually for local defense. In many countries the militia is of ancient origin; Macedonia under Philip II (d. 336 bc), for example, had a militia of clansmen in border regions who could be called to arms to repel invaders. Among the Anglo-Saxon peoples of early medieval Europe, the militia was institutionalized in the fyrd, in which every able-bodied free male was required to give military service. Similar arrangements evolved in other countries. In general, however, the emergence in the Middle Ages of a quasi-professional military aristocracy, which performed military service in return for the right to control land and servile labour, tended to cause the militia to decay, particularly as political power became increasingly centralized and life became more secure. The institution persisted nevertheless and, with the rise of national monarchies, served in some measure to provide a manpower pool for the expanding standing armies.
You seem to have an entirely separate definition of what egotistical altruism means from how most other people understand the concept. In its simplest form it's just doing good unto others so they can live more productive better lives as more of their needs are met by community support.
This is America we are discussing. On a worldwide political spectrum. Sure, definitely to the right of the central line but from the American perspective that's as left as it gets.
I'm not the guy you're replying to and I am interested to hear his response, but also I'd like to point out that you jumped to conclusions faster than Superman can jump over a building. But hey what do I know? I'm just a libertarian minarchist. Personally, almost all of your purity tests are repugnant from my point of view.
It's a political slang word. It refers to those who support leftist authoritarian regimes such as communist, China. Regimes where the state can do no wrong and the people do all the wrong so the state must step in to crush the people and "protect them" from dangerous, Western and capitalist ideas. Pretty sure the name derives from the 1989 tiananmen square incident.
All I have to say to you is you've clearly never had to unfuck a WordPress that has been fucked by WP engine. They purposely take and obfuscate the open source WordPress environment and make it so their customers are dependent and slaved to only work with them. They can go fuck themselves. Automatic is definitely not being cool about it but they are in the right.
Are you able to picture things in your imagination normally in your waking hours? For example, if I said picture a ball, how deeply could you describe it? Could you see the colors? Could you see the reflections? What is the material made of?
Just my 2 cents but it's better to be seen as an immigrant in the wide world than to be seen as a threat to the kingdom in SA. Most middle eastern immigrants in the US do very well as long as they respect the social fabric they integrate into.
Well as I've personally interacted with them multiple times... It would appear that they are either a troll account or mentally unstable. Personally, I think it's trolling from a state actor or state-sponsored actor. Their comments go on and on about this that and the other and many reasons for all of their points. But if you then ask them about the same points that they made on a separate thread, they will suddenly disregard them. Pretend they didn't happen or accuse you of stalking and harassment.
And I was like bro. I'm not the one posting your life across multiple threads. I shouldn't know you have a daughter but I do because you don't shut up about how for XYZ reason you've left the United States and are moving to England because all of these oppressions against you and your family but me knowing that fact is stalking? Also he advocates against anyone taking action to fix the issues in the country.
Edit
here come the. Ml bots to downvote this thread
That's not how stuxnet works. I'm not a tanky by any means. I'm an American and we had to hire a swedish operative to infiltrate their closed Gap systems and insert a rubber ducky. The problem wasn't that the machinery came from Germany. The problem was we paid off a swedish guy to rape the software.
Your argument is a logical fallacy
