Thanks for proving my point that you reject even being offered evidence because you don’t want to see something that challenges your worldview.
I could’ve spent time compiling a list, but you’d either ignore it or say it’s a biased source because it’s non-chinese or something.
incontrovertible
The issue is, genocide deniers are very keen to dispute any readily available facts - Holocaust, Armenian Genocide, Holodomor, etc deniers, along with flat earthers and other far-fetched conspiracy believers are willing to reject swathes of evidence and released documents that show intent and execution; I could link you interviews with Uyghurs saying they were forceably steralised or reeducated from respected sources (and am happy to) but it seems like you’ve already made your mind up so will just be selectively blind when reading them
That’s a really valid point, my recent experience of terminally online radical left wingers has been lemmygrad, .ml, hexbear etc. whereas my experience of terminally online radical right wingers has been… I guess a few people in piracy/libertarian communities? which aren’t even the authoritarian right wing groups - I think it’s not unreasonable to say liberals are likely to be more reasonable than authoritarians, so if I’m coming across vocal liberal right wingers and vocal authoritarian left wingers (with the liberal left wingers being ignored/less vocal as they’re in the majority) then of course the right wingers are going to seem most reasonable
Tankies when someone who defends any western action appears: fucking right wing nutjob
Other instances when someone who is traditionally considered left wing appears: fucking right wing nutjob
Right wingers when someone left of centre appears: I don’t think you’re right but you make valid points on xyz
Now which way are people going to drift based on those interractions?
You can’t complain about how splintered the political landscape is without ditching the “us vs them” mentality and finding common ground (of course with the caveat that fuck people who make discrimination a key part of their personality and people who celebrate oppression as clearly they aren’t reasonable people)
That or Methamphetamine mainly, most likely
Even better, my location history proves I regularly go on 5 hour drives in the middle of the night so it’s not at all out of character that I drove to the middle of the woods where the body was found at 3am
wait that’s not a good thing is it
what do you mean they found more bodies
You’re jumping over points here a lot… Yes children who were raised to be a piece of shit will probably raise their children to be a piece of shit, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be the ruling family.
There’s examples of hereditary rule where the ruler is a great and largely fair leader, such as Pedro II and Elizabeth I, as well as the opposite, such as Kim Jong Un and Ferdinand VII, as well as great and tyrannical elected leaders, and great and tyrannical leaders who came to power militarily.
I don’t think it’s a lack of creativity - our brains try to turn all sorts into faces and monsters and whatever else as it’s evolutionary beneficial to turn that shadow into a lion because there’s a small chance it could be, or that rock into a face because it could be a friend or foe, even down to looking at a mouse gripping something while eating and thinking “it’s like us”… When you consider that, of course aliens are going to look somewhat familiar as we’ve learnt to identify human traits better than nonhuman traits
I’d wager the same one who put all their energy into the the big bang then has just had the worst hangover ever since
nah its not whoever’s putting the bags in, it’s either management deciding it’s too inefficient to deal with two streams, or the people using the bins weren’t capable of separating so just threw it wherever and so it all ended up mixed anyway
if you’re British, maps.nls.uk is fascinating for seeing places evolve over time
I mean immediately sure but in reality he was just an early al-qaeda prototype trying to spread his religion by blowing people up

In Portuguese (as spoken in Portugal, Brazil, USA, Japan, Ghana, wherever) they’re an americano/a but in English (as spoken in USA, UK, Brazil, Portugal, Nepal, wherever) they’re South American but not American because it’s a linguistic difference rather than a geographical/cultural one
Because they’re the only country with America in their name whereas United States is shared by Mexico
Also in English there’s a distinction between North and South America, with the supercontinent being referred to as “The Americas”, so America isn’t really ambiguous, they’re also geologically and environmentally distinct enough that “The Americas” isn’t used so much and “New World” is often more relevant to include Australia as another somewhat culturally similar sparsely populated former colonial area.
Also you can actually see the stars and can hold a regular sleep schedule unlike in summer where it never actually gets beyond twilight
Is guys really needed after youse?
The guys is needed where there’s no 2.pl pronoun to distinguish from individual you, but youse fixes that
If it’s a grave of someone in living memory, then sure, it’s grave robbing, but even if someone knows it’s their 224x great grandparent then if there’s no memory either directly or even via oral history then it’s definitely archaeology
There’s a very blury line somewhere between the two, but it’s up to whoever shouts loudest or digs quietest to define that
if they mattered they’d be errors I’m sure
