  • What is a celebrated invention/discovery attributed to a single person but, had they not done it at the time, it is likely that someone else would have done it anyway not long after?

  • I think time is an important variable, I should have stressed it more in the question. Sure, we would eventually get to the same ideas, but how long would it take? I suspect some development are somewhat expected as multiple people are simultaneously looking at the same underlying problem, while others come as a little more surprising.

  • The world cares about what they do to other nations, not to themselves. Crazy gun policies? Slave labour in prisons? Your problem. Military expansionism, cripling economic sanctions, political inference? Very much our problem. That did't change.

  • I think your capacity to think is irrelevant or even played against you when the elites pour obscene amounts of money to change your perception of reality. Even the greatest minds can't escape this.

  • Liberal Democracy

    Jump

  • Even if people realize the system they live in is called liberal democracy, not just democracy, they often fail to notice that said system is an implementation of a plutocracy, not a democracy.

  • "The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox." - Malcom X

  • I read and I believe I understood your points. The problem is no one actually used the argument you are trying to oppose. You interpreted that comment too literally. Not once they said that no seen corpses meant no deaths. Had you not assumed so wildly and acted so bluntly, you'd be understood better. You can block me If this is annoying you.

  • The fact is there is hard evidence for a genocide in one case, and not in the other. If you have other reasons to believe the latter is still happening, then make them known. Otherwise it is no more plausible than telling elephants may dwell on the moon, despite no sightings.

  • Pseudo-history lecture

    Jump

  • You accuse someone of all sorts of things, and never give them a fair chance to defend themselves through dialog. Tell me again how this is a fair aproach. Sounds like you just want to shut down someone for fear of them being right and you wrong.

  • Don't listen to them. First thing putin asked was "do you want a talk show or a serious conversation?" You don't need to agree with him but the whole interview was a reasonable and civilized attempt to show the russian perspective to western audiences.

  • What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?

  • I don't know the details on how to rehost wikipedia by myself, and also how to search and access unofficial wikipedia servers either. If this is all common knowlege for internet users, I am seriously lagging behind here. But maybe you are right and there really is no universal appeal for this, and overall people just prefer to see wikipedia as a single entity. But I think there would be benefits in federating wikipedia. Basically it becomes harder to take down information, and allows us to bypass wikipedia's own strictness and bias. I know there are wikipedia alternatives but I would like to be able to access different view points seamlessly in the same platform, just like it happens here.
