kfprt | 4 years ago | on: Trolls will be jailed for ‘psychological harm’

This is hardly unsubstantiated as it is a widespread acknowledged problem. [1] It should also be noted that this is not the first time I criticized the UK's 'unique' take on justice. The reception then was quite different however. Is moderation at the whim of the mob? Perhaps 'joke of a country is a bit harsh' but I can't think of a better description of such lopsided priorities.

kfprt | 4 years ago | on: Navy failures destroyed the Bonhomme Richard

I tend to think the military needs to be split in two. One half to deal with boots on grounds kinetic action and a second to deal with the permanent economic and cyber war. Of course integration of women would be far easier the the latter.

kfprt | 4 years ago | on: Prague's Brutalist Buildings

When a classical building is run down people flock to visit it. Pantheon/Coliseum. Brutalist buildings we're ugly and depressing as built.

Brutalism was just another communist crime, razing old europe so they could stamp their manifestations of authoritarianism on it.

> Most other differences seem to be too weakly correlated with genes we've identified to result in such a stark change to society.

These findings were always driven more by politics than science.

kfprt | 4 years ago | on: Poor parents receiving universal payments increase spending on kids

This is of course ridiculous. UBI money is much more likely to be spent increasing the velocity of money in the economy than if it were spent bailing out companies. It's very hard to run a consumer economy whilst making the consumers too poor to afford to spend much.

>bomb them or something

I thought we agreed that in principle the correct response to a deliberate attack would have been to bomb them in 1967? I don't understand why you keep intentionally misinterpreting this.

>who you think the US is not being neutral towards

I find the less you know about someone the easier it is to be neutral.

>the Palestinians

As I said before the Israeli/Palestinian intra semitic conflict is one America should stay a country mile away from.

>That doesn't seem plausible to me.

I've yet to hear of the Lesotho lobby and practically zero people in America care about Lesotho. How about Belarus or New Guinea? The link between lobbying and public opinion seems quite strong to me.

> anti-Israel rhetoric?

Please stop with the unfounded assumptions.

All I'm advocating for is for America to not get bogged down in foreign quagmires and for other countries to stop trying to drag us into their conflicts. It is beyond me how anyone can find this such a difficult concept. Mandatory disclosure of foreign interests would go a long way here.

If you are interested the Great War channel has a series that covers Mandatory Palestine. This is however entirely irrelevant to US foreign policy.

I always enjoy expounding upon my ideas in public discussion but when the conversation retreads over already trod points and the counterparty is disingenuous and intentionally mischaracterizes what I have plainly stated then I am forced to question whether their motive is discussion or to score cheap points in a discussion that no one will likely read.
