:consternation2: Dude! How the heck can I be adding strawmen?!? I didn't attribute anything to you! I thought your proposal sounded nice but had a glaring hole in it that needed to be filled for it to become a plan anyone could act on: you need specify who is going to disarm the current...

This guy's methodical, exacting, and worst of all, patient.

So who's the one armed group that enforces the new government? 1. The people themselves,. i.e., give a gun to everyone? There's a famine going on, so nearly everyone who doesn't use it to become a robber will sell his gun to buy food. 2. A new security force made up of Sudanese loyal to...

FIFY.

We should pressure the UAE to stop sending money to the RSF.

:shrug: Six of one, half a dozen of the other. A Saudi-Israeli peace treaty isn't good for the Iranian regime either.

Now professors accept Wikipedia as a research citation, do you? And since Wikipedia's list of characteristics is the "actual meaning", that's what you meant when you challenged whether the people TSwizzle's applied the word to are "actual fascists", was it? Curious -- you didn't challenge Poli...

Not everything is about us. Neither theory is plausible. Hamas doesn't have much reason to give a rat's ass who is President or whether Russia conquers Ukraine. If the attack had any strategic objective beyond "Looks like we can pull off killing a lot of Jews and taking a lot of hostages and...

I didn't make it up -- it was the reasonable inference based on the facts at hand. My conclusion might have been wrong of course, so if you're telling me now that you'd read the article I'll take your word for it; but following the evidence where it leads isn't the same as making stuff up...

That sounds like a you problem. :rolleyes2: I showed it, and you quoted it back to me. And? If it's a metaphor, it's a metaphor he uses on Americans and would not use on Nigerians. True that. You just showed my work. You would not insinuate that the Israeli Army approach is "wiping out...

I don't doubt it seems that way to you, but you're looking at them from too far away for your eyes to resolve the difference between center-right and center-left, Mr. "Capitalists don't build factories; Workers build factories. Seizing the worker's product for the workers is not theft, it's...

True, but like it or not that was the taken lesson. "It's wrong to pick on a hated outgroup" is such a hard lesson to take that even an awful lot of the people who think they took the "it's wrong to pick on a hated outgroup" lesson go right on picking on their own. Outgroups are like children...

Three things. 1. Those shoppers and city workers were not killed. The IRA did not try to kill them. The IRA tried not to kill them. The attacks were meant to do economic and psychological damage, not murder. Do you think Hamas or the RSF would give 90 minutes warning so people would be able...

That's pretty much the exception that proves the rule. While pretty much every other gang of militants focused like the PLO on murdering non-combatants, the IRA primarily focused on legitimate military targets. Fenian culture was just never as psychotic as typical terrorist cultures. If there...
