@sapphire @wrathofgnon A car isn't a luxury. A car keeps you from being stabbed on public transportation.

interesting if true

their latest supersolider plans did not go as well as hoped.

On the conservatism of Herbert Butterfield and the secular vision of original sin: “When we abandon the notion of original sin, we come to think that evil is concentrated entirely among our enemies, and that none of it lies in ourselves. By projecting all evil onto our opponents, we authorize ourselves to "treat the political enemy as subhuman, irredeemable." Political struggle then takes on existential stakes, becoming a war between the righteous and the wicked—with ourselves, of course, on the side of the righteous.... In political life, certain ideas motivate people to crush their enemies and to pursue final solutions. One of them is self-righteousness; another is utopianism.” https://www.nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/herbert-butterfield-and-original-sin

I would welcome this kind of democratic process. Everyday we are confronted with appalling waste of money and resources by politicians who hide behind the parliamentary processes and only shows their faces when it comes time to milk the electorate for fresh votes.

It was mostly a peaceful stoning.

That's some pretty epic shitlib reprogramming that we have anti-trumpers running around claiming that the War in Iraq had a UN mandate.

Crazy how easy it is when they want it to be
