For anyone who is politically involved and knows the issues, Walz won by having better and more consistent positions; as well as Vance saying some scary fascist level shit

But I fear that most undecided voters aren't in that camp, and for those people Vance did well just be being coherent and vaguely normal.

Vance lied and twisted the truth a bunch, but if you just tuned in without knowing all the facts and context, that wasn't necessarily clear

For me though I was pleasantly surprised by Walz actually making a moral case for immigration, you don't see that nearly enough

I don't know why you're being down voted, he is literally a billionaire

'No ethical billionaires' apart from this guy apparently

Regardless of the electoral politics, as Chris notes, the important challenge in social policy is helping people who won’t benefit from wealth transfers from wealthy relatives, rather than engaging in fantasies about “generational warfare”. What matters is not generations, but class.

Right, I was trying to imply that it wasn't really okay, hence the 'okay' in inverted commas and stuff - this obviously isn't okay

While this prosecution was completely fucked up and was 100% linked to the criminalisation of abortion (and therefore miscarriages and pregnancy in general), the issue was that following the traumatic premature birth she didn't immediately remove the baby from the toilet

Moving north wouldn't have helped on paper, as the alleged crime of letting your baby drown is still illegal

That said, possibly a more progressive state might have had the good sense to not prosecute or even treat this as a criminal matter. On the other hand, the DA where this happened was a Democrat according to the article

A grand jury declined to indict her, so it ended 'okay', apart from all the unnecessary additional horrific trauma inflicted on a grieving mother and being a harrowing sign of dark repressive times

I think it means + more than zero but less than one

So like, +(between 0.01 and 0.99)

They're using it as (+0<1), there's no - here bc that would be + (the other candidate)

The Stanford Prison Experiment. But it shouldn't be taken seriously, it was terribly done, biased and unscientific

Could be interesting to run something similar under actual experimental conditions, if that was doable

There was a really good article on this and unfortunately I can't find it now to share

But the gist was that Titan exploited a bunch of loopholes, among other things. The paying customers on the sub were in fact 'marine researchers' who coincidently made a donation, and things like that

Some of the people who were at one point involved but left due to safety concerns raised the issue with OSHA (? - or whoever the more specific body was) who repeatedly failed to investigate or take any action

So for me, whether or not they are able to charge the company, the industry regulators and government bodies overseeing them need to face some questions and judgements too (though it would take a more knowledgeable person than me to know what exactly that looks like)

'There's no point voting against Hitler right now because the opposition is right leaning and may one day grow into Hitler'

I don't know why you are using in person community praxis as a refutation of an online space being toxic

Real life isn't online, the issue is an online space being shitty

In the UK, you can't decide whether to 'press charges' or not, the decision is the CPS's.

But in practice, saying you aren't interested in pursuing a conviction often ends it, because:

1 - the prosecution must be 'in the public good' which is undermined if the victim isn't interested

2 - a lot of the time the testimony and cooperation of the victim is key to the prosecution case

3 - the system is horribly underfunded so if they can justify dropping it they will

I read in the paper today that a bankruptcy court is going to take 40% of Katie Price's OnlyFans income

When i saw this headline my brain skipped to Rudy Giuliani's OnlyFans income

Has Rudy Giuliani considered OnlyFans?

In the UK you start school at 4

I'd like to recommend The Trojan Horse Affair. Its a limited series and a few years old now, but a a really interesting listen

Its about the scandal in the UK in 2013, where an anonymous letter 'exposed' an Islamist conspiracy in Birmingham schools to radicalise children.

The investigation in the podcast is helmed by two people; a rookie journalism grad who is muslim, and an experienced white journalist. The contrast in perspectives and emotion between them adds to it

And yeah it'll probably make you angry, and for those not in the UK it might key you in a bit on the tensions that do and don't exist with British Muslims, how they're viewed and treated by lots of parties here (including the Government)

“Yes, I lost this election, but I’m young, beautiful, and rich as f**k,” she concluded. She lost her job at Purina dog food over her extreme rhetoric and her campaign was unable to purchase ads.

She came 6th. Its funny, but I think she was never a real candidate and hasn't learned anything

So you've called me an 'armchair genius' twice in that comment - I'm sorry that I didn't fight in WWI, but I am allowed to discuss the definition of Nationalism. You have no idea about my life or my background (or my chair), so leave that out.

Sure, Post-Colonial Nationalism as a movement played an integral role in establishing independence from European powers. That doesn't change the fact that Nationalism is a European paradigm that contributed to the exploitation of these places in the first place.

The fact that Nationalism opposes foreign influence over ones own country - and therefore is an effective ideology of opposition in regions affected by European exploitation - says nothing about Nationalism's inherent militarism and codification of heirarichal power.

So yes look at Nationalism as a factor in establishing independence, but then look at where Nationalism leads after that.

Lets take Nigeria in the 1960s. Nigerian nationalism helped oust the British, cool, that's great. Then the Nationalist government inflamed ethnic tensions until Ahmadu Bello was assassinated in a miltary coup, and the following ethnic violence led to Civil War.

While you wait there for me to talk to "every nation state in the (so called) "3rd World"", maybe do some reading that isn't an internet definition written by people Just like me (whatever that means...)

And if you come back to me, do it with argument and not random personal attacks next time, thanks

Its the only way to make a living thanks to Kalus Schwab and the globalists (/s)

Nationalism is inherently concerned with expanding the State through the ostensible 'reunification' of ethnic groups, or more overtly at the expense of other nations. Like, yknow, Lebensraum

This idea that Imperialism and Nationalism are conflicting ideologies is just.. so dumb

...what? Have you just assumed that words are the same because they sound similar?

Nationalisation of industries and resources refers to public ownership vs private ownership

Nationalism is an ideology that became widespread in the late 19th Century, that emphasises the codification of States on ethnic grounds
