It is a bit of a chicken and egg question though. Because do Americans not say it that way because of the date format or is that the date format because you don't say it that way?

Because in countries using DD.MM.YY we absolutely do say 6th of November.

Even Americans does as well: "4th of July".

Which government?

As soon as a gun is introduced anywhere, safety automatically drops. That is a statistical fact.

That is how it works in all civilised countries.

There are a large number of people who carry, they’re not who you think they are and they’re not afraid or paranoid.

The fact that they do "carry" unequivocally shows that they are indeed afraid and paranoid, no matter how many times they say "not afraid, bro" out loud. Believe their actions, not their lying words.

Just because that is the origin, doesn't mean it was a scam then or now.

It can have legitimate utility, for example I want to exchange money for international services without a credit card or mailing an envelope of cash/cheque.

It does it infinitely more inefficient, slower and insecure than all other existing alternatives that can do this (and there are a lot of alternatives which doesn't involve blockchain). Which is also why people doesn't use it for this.

A lot of Christian denominations would disagree with you on this. It is also a bit absurd to make absolute claims about what Christianity is and is not because it varies greatly from denomination to denomination (none of which has a monopoly on their interpretation of the bible).

Oh no, implementing useful policies for votes, how dare they do that in a democracy?

No, but it knows where to buy loyalty the cheapest.

So in practice you are handing your vote to the GOP and Trump. Congratulations on having been convinced by the "apathetic" narrative into handing power over to the GOP.

Is that really the real question though? Seems like it is the "real question" if you want to continually push the "both sides" narrative, instead of actually acknowledging good policies when they are implemented.

This particular specimen is most likely a tankie. But I don't blame you for confusing them, because there aren't really any differences in 99% of their opinions.

Ironic coming from someone who just called somebody else a "liberal" without knowing anything at all about them.

Not as much as tankies though.

We aren't taking them at face value. His voters probably are though.

That is a whole lot of "probably" and "looks like" disclaimers for such an absolute claim.

Have you tried searching? With such preconceived notions, it doesn't really sound like you even tried searching.

Sad to see the right wing libertarian political compass being used as some sort of factual scoreboard in research like that. It completely undermines the premise of that research.
