- Comment on Billions lost to Brexit could make NHS waiting lists disappear, top economist says 2 days ago:
Of course, those billions would've gone to stuff other than making NHS waiting lists disappear, because quality of healthcare in developed countries is a matter of political will rather than funds.
- Comment on SBA #230 (the dentist hour) Sins and Virtues 3 days ago:
The OP is basically the definition of a shit post, but also I don't understand how "envy is bad" is toxic.

Post this to c/historymemes.

I wonder which part of the Bible they think supports IP rights.

Wow, didn't even feel the need to lie.

Not like that, literally Japan.

Literally Japan.

Okay I'm kinda starting to see the appeal of juries.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
That completely fails to take into account the split of votes among demographics. Black people for example are a famously blue demographic despite the majority of them living in red Southern states. Your "proof" proves nothing.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
you still vote for the same assholes that want you dead.
Uh... Source? Muslims tend to vote blue by a pretty large margin AFAIK.
- Comment on Britain Lost 14,000 Third Places. They Were Called Pubs. Is Your Local Next? 3 weeks ago:
Clearly this is because of the Muslim invasion of the UK.
Obvious /s.
- Comment on Millions in Great Britain could face emergency power cuts at short notice 4 weeks ago:
Okay guy from the third world here, is it just the rose-tinted glasses or is this emphatically not supposed to happen in developed countries?
- Comment on Millions in Great Britain could face emergency power cuts at short notice 4 weeks ago:
What's the difference?
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years 4 weeks ago:
Not in America at least, which is a problem given that America is the single biggest market in the world.
- Comment on Literally nobody 4 weeks ago:
Even assuming that's true (which it's not; absolutely nothing about Wall Street is Christian), that's not what theocracy is. Again, theocracy is rule by religious authorities; even religiously motivated decisions in the US are ultimately made by lay people with little to no input from actual Christian clergy. Put another way, de facto theocracy would be a church or group of churches acting as kingmakers and consistently steering policy. That's not what's going on; Christianity in US governance, when it appears (outside of Utah where the Mormon Church does wield significant political power), is a solidly bottom-up phenomenon that doesn't go through or depend on particular religious leaders. Rule by and for Christians, assuming it's the case in the US—which again it's not; America is ruled by capital regardless of its religion—would be exactly what we'd expect since Christians make up a solid supermajority of the population of America. Calling America a theocracy would be like calling Singapore (or another competitive autocracy) a monarchy; it's wrong in both kind and degree.
- Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone? 4 weeks ago:
You've already gotten your answer, but also I mean at some point you gotta own your farts.

Well, when the working class is organized enough to do it, so organize.
- Comment on Patients refusing to be treated by non-white staff as NHS reports shocking rise in racism 5 weeks ago:
Actually it has been, hence "scientific" racism.
- Comment on Patients refusing to be treated by non-white staff as NHS reports shocking rise in racism 5 weeks ago:
Given how Germany treats its Syrians, I don't think so.
- Comment on Anon accepts a prestigious job 5 weeks ago:
So you mean we can train monkeys to work if they work from home?
- Comment on Anon accepts a prestigious job 5 weeks ago:
I mean no, first they'd need to learn a century's worth of rocket science and centuries' worth of prerequisites.
- Comment on Literally nobody 5 weeks ago:
I mean first theocracy implies rule by the clergy, which isn't the case in America even de facto. The only theocracies in the world are Iran and the Vatican. That aside, 66% of EU citizens are Christian. The "our Christian way of life is under attack" rhetoric isn't in any way unique to America.
- Comment on Literally nobody 1 month ago:
Yeah it's not like the majority of people in the wealthiest and most powerful part of the world (and a plurality elsewhere) literally worship the guy.
- Comment on what in the 1 month ago:
Nope, these are all popular rightwing/centrist (sorry for repeating myself) causes. The UK national flag is (British) nationalism, the Star of David is Zionism, the right likes pre-revolution Iran for being an anti-communist secular Western ally not tarnished by filthy Muslims and I have no clue what the flag on the right is.
- Comment on Activists Who Spray-Painted Barclays Set to Be Sentenced As Terrorists 1 month ago:
I'm a proud America hater, but this is more of a European tradition. Terrorism charges in America (all state-level or local; no federal terrorism charge exists) only exist as addons to other crimes, so this isn't something that could've happened there.
- Comment on Why do some people identify with a political party even if many of their views don't align with that party's platform? 1 month ago:
However, here's what confuses me: almost every single one of the anti-Trump members—outside of me and maybe two other people—was extremely homophobic and transphobic. They were also all strongly pro-life. They hated abortion and viewed it as "murder." One kid in the church literally said, "Gay people deserve to be hurt."
I mean, for starters have you tried asking? As for my guess, probably because they have other political positions that push them towards democrats. Sticking to social issues, "fuck racism and the gays" is a coherent position one can take, and if they hate racism more than they hate people then they'll lean democrat. And then you have economic issues; supporting better social welfare, environmental regulation or public transport automatically will essentially lock them with the DNC. There are more variables affecting someone's political affiliation than how they feel about gay people.

Well that's a fundamental misunderstanding of science if I've ever seen one.
- Comment on How Come Latin Didn't Spread in the Middle East as Much as it did in Europe? 1 month ago:
The Empire in the West basically shattered all Roman forms of social organization, turning everyone into Roman citizens/subjects. This didn't happen in the East, so they protected local language and culture from being subsumed by Greek (not Latin, as other comments have said). I'm only parroting this from when I asked the sam question so don't ask me why this happened.

*Most Egyptian elites? I'm not well-informed on this, but I find it hard to believe that your average Egyptian peasant could speak Greek.
