China is the answer. Nobody does anything about North Korea for the same reason China doesn’t invade Taiwan.

As an Arabic speaker I have never heard of number 3, though Arabic is more like forty languages in a trench coat so that’s not saying much.

So tragic.

Labor productivity has grown faster than real wages

And this is supposed to be a good thing?

Anonymous thread aggregators and bad family life, name a better duo.

(“Want to hang out tonight after school?” - 授業後今晩遊ぼう？

Minor nitpick: 今晩 is a pretty formal term; 今夜 is used instead in everyday conversation. Also in Japanese you’d only specify the moreimportant of the two timeframes, either “tonight” (今夜/夕方) or “after school” (授業終(が)終わったら), not both

I mean something tells me that’s one topic that wouldn’t be appropriately covered in schools, but that’s just my guess.

I mean that’s hopeful, but remember that the New Deal also came against the backdrop of the height of socialism in the West and the labor rights movement. Modern Americans don’t have the organizational strength to make such a compromise attractive in the eye of the ruling class, and they don’t seem intent on ever having it.

They’re not talking about a new deal as in a new status quo after this whole mess; they’re talking about the New Deal and are hoping for more of that.

TL;DR for the article: Pretty much all federal social welfare programs and worker rights in America were established as part of the New Deal. Think if Bernie became president with a cooperative Congress.

That’s not what that means. Separation of church and state simply means that the law doesn’t favor one religion over another. What you’re thinking of is the French formulation, known as laicite, which—you guessed it—is a French thing. It’s also based on some pretty problematic ideas that lead and have led to some pretty problematic results, so yeah.

For a non-French example, he’s the Australian constitution on the topic:

The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.

Nothing at all about lawmakers publicly adhering to a religion.

We already have a model of this with Israel’s genocide in Gaza wracking up a climate footprint bigger than entire countries. Scale that up to a world war and… Yeah, not fun.

Okay that is literally not true. First, Ash’arism is also rationalist so yeah no. Like you do know many prominent Muslim scientists from the time period were themselves Asharite right? Second, the Islamic golden age didn’t die due to the power of religious figures; it died due to the sacking of Baghdad and continued right up until that moment. This happened more than two centuries after the creation of Ash’arism, and again many important developments happened in the Caliphate in the interim. Third, the Timurid renaissance came about a century later in a mainstream Sunni Muslim (so definitely not Mu’tazilite or some such) empire. In short:

It is inevitable that the religious mind either abandons their faith, or abandons science.

That literally didn’t happen.

Ultimately, if god existed and created everything… science would be another form of worship.

Yes, as clearly stated in the Quran, that is literally the point.

Sorry my people’s more than a millennium-long history doesn’t conform to your preconceived notions, but can you please not make shit up? Here’s a Wikipedia article. And in the first place, Arab distrust of science is a much more recent phenomenon that came after centuries of Ottoman neglect and is fading away right as we speak despite some of the most conservative mainstream theologies in the history of Islam.

Not that I disagree, but username checks out.

Given how well that worked with Russia, yeah don’t expect much help.

It was religion that got them there.

That’s… what? Like do you think the Assabids were atheists during the Islamic Golden Age?

This isn’t the community for discussion-type questions. You have asklemmy and politics communities for that.

I used to call her mama but now I mostly just use her name. My family is weird like that.

Pretty sure this doesn’t fit the community, but also: ICE won’t shoot you with live ammo when you try to stop them.

Edit: Gaza is a whole different thing, but the IDF in the West Bank is what ICE wants to be.

Decades of state propaganda. It’s a lot easier for a modern Westerner to feel like the system works and just needs a nudge than it is for a worker in the interwar period or a black person in the 60s.

Only this strategy has literally never worked. Your rights were secured by people who caused all kinds of disturbances. And in the first place anyone who still hasn’t taken a side is a fascist in denial or will never take a side.
