"it's"?!? Christianity and Nazi fascism aren't an "it"; they're two religions. You're lumping them together in the hope of getting to a comparable scale. But it doesn't make sense to -- if the Nazi atrocities had been motivated by Christian zeal then Jews would have been able to save...

Not only now -- Mamdani's been a communist for years. :wink: If it were true he "stands to the center of European politics" then that would be sad commentary on the state of European politics; but your claim is absurd. If he were at the center then that would necessarily mean over half the...

Yes; but in all fairness to Roosevelt, his Japanese-American internment camps were a lot nicer than Soviet gulags.

"He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all...

I'd have said third, though it's kind of ambiguous since a lot of changes are so gradual. Out of curiosity, what break since 1789 in the continuous system of government do you think disqualifies Britain? The authority of Parliament to fire the King was established in 1688, the "Glorious...

:consternation1: You want a plague on your own house? Takes all kinds, I guess. Seriously, dude, how long have we known each other? If I couldn't distinguish between communists and socialists, don't you think it's the far more nationally prominent Bernie and AOC I would have brought up...

I'd long suspected you prefer an echo chamber. Quote me, you serial putter of words in other people's mouths. What is it you want me to add to what I've already repeatedly said? A plague on both your houses. The Democrats are running a communist for mayor of New York City. He'll probably...

San Marino has us beat: 1600.

What the heck are you on about? Iceland was ruled by Denmark until WW1; it was an independent constitutional monarchy until WW2; then it was conquered by Britain to preempt a German invasion; then it was occupied by Canada; then it was occupied by the US; and in 1944 it abolished the monarchy...

Your link certainly doesn't show they're certainly not over-represented -- its numbers are way too ambiguous to get certainty from. Some obvious problems jump out at me. The Violence Prevention Project at Hamline University defines a mass shooting as “four or more people shot and killed...

By that standard, England is a colony too. (Of Scotland -- Charles III is only King because he's the heir of James VI. :biggrina: )

Any reason in particular you're arguing against a taken-out-of-context sentence fragment? I was explaining how burden-of-proof works. Nobody claimed it was a rational criticism of leftists. It was one eighth of a rational criticism of leftists. The sentence you extracted it from was one...

You say that like insulting you would be a bad thing. Why, do you have some objection to insults, Mr. "your argument is clever, but it's evasive."? You said that to me because you are illogical and because you are malicious. You do not have an intellectually honest reason to accuse me of...

That's not equivocation; it's hyperbole. Perfectly deserved hyperbole, considering how wildly sweeping and absurdly non-fact-based Jarhyn's accusations are. Are you actually defending Jarhyn? Are you seriously claiming that I and whomever else Jarhyn was addressing at IIDB "espouse Nazi...

Me neither. Hunh?? What exactly are your comments above supposed to have to do with the contentions in my post? Does your disapproval of maggots imply it's "far right" to think some leftists are "fanning flames of war"? Do your comments explain why "Whether a corporate merger violates...
