Ok but beyond the existence of “propaganda”, what are you fighting for in this case by towing this line? What message is the “propaganda” trying to convey that you disagree with?

The neighbors fact is historically relevant, Jews have been living on that land for thousands of years https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora

You’re right. There’s zero Jewish representation in the Arab world while Arabs make up about 20% of the Israeli population (and hold positions of power within the country). Israel is a tolerant society while saud, Qatar, etc. are largely intolerant of Jewish existence (they genocided their own Jewish populations).

Terrorism is violence towards people, riots are violence towards property, that’s a hell of a leap to try to equivocate the two

Are you a one line bot? Please continue to cling to your one sentence armor.

There’s clear psychological differences between those who label themselves “conservative” and those that don’t. And one of the clear differences is the inherent tribalism among conservatives.

By definition, if the business venture isn’t profitable, then there isn’t a market.

REI in downtown Portland pulled out and publicly said it was because of rising crime, but it was really because the employees were trying to unionize.

Effective protests are disruptive.

It’s an extremely weak argument for this very reason

Gold was apolitical money for a long time. Can’t just print gold.

The right doesn’t use language genuinely, so personally I don’t really care to consider their usages. The actual definition of words doesn’t matter to conservatives, it’s not how their brains work. That’s why it’s so easy for them to form a big tent party, they just need to say meaningless feel good phrases like “law and order”, “1776”, or “make America great again” to attract voters. That’s also why when they get power, they dissolve into infighting and can’t govern at all, because it turns out those phrases mean different things to all of them.

Can you elaborate on the role of the military in protecting against natural disasters? It’s not clear to me how this is already part of their function.

You’re sort of right but painfully wrong on so many things. The US government doesn’t mint its own currency, it borrows from the Federal reserve. Congress spends money into existence (by borrowing from the Fed), but then we pay back the Fed via taxes.

Poor auditing? Mate, they only audit for you doing what you say you’re doing. And if you say you play peek-a-boo, and the auditors watch you play peek-a-boo, you’re golden. ISO auditors aren’t experts at whatever it is you’re manufacturing and measuring, they are only experts on ISO standards. ISO trusts that you as the manufacturer are the expert in what you’re making.

ISO9000 is a joke. They don’t care what you do, they only care that you do what you said you’re doing. So if your inspection process is “we play peek-a-boo with the widget and if it’s still on the table when we open our eyes, it’s good to ship”. ISO only cares that you have a peek-a-boo procedure and your inspectors are trained on how to play peek-a-boo.

Most metal parts testing is destructive. I.e., once you test the parts, they are destroyed and you can’t use them anymore. That’s why the trust I certificates is so important. They certify that metal from the same batch passed those tests. That’s why it’s a huge safety risk if the certs are fake, there’s no guarantee that the metal can meet the requirements, and no way to test without breaking the parts.

Don’t know what you’re talking about, every act under intoxication is already legally intentional. “It’s not rape officer, I was drunk!” Doesn’t hold up in court

Your own source says they used other filtering systems besides ALPS, which would further mitigate the risk you seem stuck on.

We keep saying “half of the nation” but he’s never won a popular vote. It’s a cognitive distortion

Credit scores are in part based on the oldest line of available credit, which for most people are their student loans. Pay those off, your oldest line of credit becomes something more recent, and your score goes down as a result
