It is certainly creepy.

Up to a point I agree. I am still social democratic-leaning on economic issues. Nevertheless, the political divides I see in the modern world are generally as follows:

(1) Localism v globalism. ...

Is this trolling or serious?

This book explains what I am trying to say better than I myself could: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mass:_Apocalyptic_Religion_and_the_Death_of_Utopia

Up to a point. But Christianity and Islam I would argue, for good and for ill, have a special vigour that has led to them taking over most of the world between them, because they are both based on...

China has a long history of being cruel and ruthless within the confines of its own borders, but at least up till now it hasn't had an expansionist, messianic mentality like the West and Islam both...

Yes, the double standards are jarring.

Maybe some Eastern religions and philosophies like Shintoism and Buddhism, since they generally don't seek to take over the world or every last aspect of individuals' lives? Anyway, what I meant was...

Actually, I'm with the philosopher John Gray on this, in that the real problem is totalitarianism and absolutism in general, of which Nazism is just one example. (In its own rather subtle way,...

I know what you mean, but substitute 'Nazi' for 'Communist' in the case of Conservatives then I'd think you're right.

It was an albeit poorly-worded way of saying that no culture or society has the complete monopoly on virtue or vice. And just to clarify: (1) No I am not a complete relativist, and there are indeed...

Eurovision is generally crap, but a song contest that brought Celine Dion and Sandie Shaw to the world cannot be all bad. :D

Borreby.

Which, along with our home-grown coal, steal and steam energy, was fed in large part by...cotton from India!

Nice example of whataboutery there. Wars and ethnic cleansings are hardly unique to Africa - God knows Europe's history is replete with them. (One reason I am a little sceptical of Holocaust...

Judging by those figures, it is Asian-Americans who are very much the outliers, not Aframs.



Are you seriously saying that most users of McDonald's in France are SSAs and MENAs? Maybe in Paris...

And while the Indian caste system is certainly abhorrent, is it really much if at all worse than Jim Crow and Apartheid, both of which were in part the creations of the descendants of British...

I am not saying that the British in India didn't do some good things, most notably its railway network, but at the end of the day as with all Empires it was largely incidental. The two main drives...

So judging by those figures, the gap between White and Black American men isn't as large as that between the women?
