It was.
And I have bad news: it’s largely no longer true. Modern models, gait recognition, 3d face maps, all can de-anonymize juggalo/clown makeup
- Comment on War 2 days ago:
actually no, “we” (the collective rest of the world) came into conflict with Iran less than 100 years ago.
Iran had been a monarchy for thousands of years .
Then: - the last Shah just sucked, people hated him, only unlike in antiquity, democracies existed as a popular option, and - because he was nationalizing the oil, the CIA helped the theocratic Iranian Islamic Revolution depose him

TBF we was a professor. He probably has a good ability to form complex sentences and manipulate concepts.
He is also a Conservative, Christian ideologue who has been steeped in both those Faith-based cultures for decades.
The Faith-based community tends to ultimately drift away from the Reality-based one.

“Premature?” Are you kidding me? Looking at the actual data, the word is “Wrong”
He didn’t anticipate how productive and urban society became, how people who didn’t need to make babies to work farms would choose not to have them (at least not so many esp in crowded spaces)
His simple linear extrapolation was bold, stinulated a lot of important thinking, but was wrong

Fun fact I worked a diesel workers union job where everyone got company uniforms with our surname on the breast pocket.
There was a crazy smart Chinese dude who worked there. His name was Long Dong. His shirt said “Dong” on it. Our undereducated Indiana co workers found this endlessly worth joking about

I went to school with her. Her maiden name wad Jackson.
TBH her parents were (maybe still are) pathetic selfish people and she was kind of a holier-than-thou prude – but way better than her parents.

I’ve seriously been thinking about this.
In most Democracies, over the last 20 years a general social moral consensus has arisen that is founded in consent.
As in, if two people with the mental/emotional capacity choose to Do the Thing, we should let them (even if we personally Don’t Like that Thing). Conversely, if a person does not consent, our moral indignation flares up – it threatens our peaceful, tolerant, inclusive society. We really don’t like rape or rapists and men will performatively show how much they are not “like that”.
Contrast with prevailing social norms in authoritarian states like Russia, the Eastern European nations that never really escaped its orbit, and theocracies like Iran or even affluent Gulf states.
In those societies, from what I’ve seen, consent is viewed more as a luxury than a basic requirement. Instead, observance of social hierarchy is the social norm that we monkeys enforce on each other . If “she was asking for it”, if “he was an obvious Queer”, if the person is clearly “lower social standing”, then their rights and feelings simply don’t have the same weight.

Even a PGM isn’t guaranteed to hit exactly one building and not next door. That’s why it’s a war crime to locate civilian installations right on top of military ones.
