  • "like" needs an object for the comparison. Something can't just "look like", it has to look like something. "What" is an indirect reference to an object so you can say what it looks like.

    "How" is a reference to an adjective or a description, so it doesn't need another word to make it a comparison. How does the cave look? It looks terrifying.

  • What do you mean how would that work? Polar bear habitat is declared national park, inhabitants get assistance moving elsewhere. Extremely expensive? Yes. Complicated? Not really.

    I get that people aren't gonna go for this, but I stand by the position that it would be the ethically correct thing, and we should be honest with ourselves that we are compromising on that.

  • I wouldn't say it's sufficient justification, to be honest. I guess it depends on the population to some degree. But since we caused this problem, I would say moving even a whole village out of polar bear habitat is worth the cost of shooting even one, and we can suppose there will be more to come. I think we have a responsibility to get the hell out of their space, even at a huge cost to us.

  • Nah it's you that is not thinking. It is specifically the USA which is the problem. You can see that this map is, unusually, not "always the same map", with many right wing neoliberal countries (France, Japan, New Zealand, ...) voting for this. It's not at all about the internal political alignment of the countries and just about who is a US proxy.

  • Ukraine may have a terrible, far right regime, but this vote doesn't really say much about it, given that their survival currently depends on not pissing off the USA in any way. If their major military support was coming from a country that wanted it the other way around it would've been that way, there's no principle behind it.
