Give most humans the tiniest bit of power or comfort, and ANYTHING that questions or “threatens” that is immediately treated with hostility.

Careful, the Shrike might just take offense.

Yeah this sounds like they’re getting royally fucked.

Do you have a source for a statement like “Jewish people have no direct proof of being descended from the land?”

I’m pretty sure we have a good amount of evidence from the 2nd Temple era.

It’s infuriating building a home lab in 2026.

Stremio is so good too

Me when I have an cruel, apathetic, black & white world view

You literally said Democratic Socialism and linked a quote contrasting Socialism (generally) to Social Democracy, not Democratic Socialism.
