I don't think abolishing civil liberties as a response to something that resembles a natural disaster is a reasonable response. These things just happen occasionally nowadays, and there is precious little to be done about it.

Which worked out really well for both of them in the end. None of us think we could hold out a week against Russia, which is precisely why we train every single eligible man (and every volunteerin woman) to shoot a rifle and live in the forest.

I'm not an expert, but I seriously doubt that small arms had any significant impact on the Soviet/American occupation. IED's and MANPAD's did the trick.

This is what gets me about old-rear end poo poo dictators being pissed that something about them is being done on Western media sphere...don't they get that our own politicians get it about thousand times worse? Like if there was something they could actually do about this they would have already done it? Is he expecting that Merkel will get Stasi right on that poo poo?

The reason they don't get that is that they literally can go stasi on that poo poo in their country.

Xoidanor posted:

That's because mono-culturalism and multi-culturalism are very similiar in what they politically entail. Both suggest segregation but with different goals in mind. One is "we should only have one culture period" and the other is "we have multiple cultures but steps must be taken to restrict intermingling". Think Canada and parents rights in Quebec for instance. In fact, the only nations that are dedicated to multi-culturalism as defined in academia at the moment is Canada and the UK. Almost all other western nations (with some notable exceptions in the US and Scandinavia) are melting pots of varying degrees. Nationalist parties are pretty much exclusively mono-cultural in their proposed policies.

I don't think that's exactly true nowadays, although historically it used to be. Many nationalistic parties in Europe today, notably Marine le Pen's FN, seem to me to be pursuing a policy 'leading culture' which acknowledges the existence of different cultures inside society, but demands that they adhere to the values and lifestyles of (what they perceive to be) the 'leading' traditional culture. Which I think is actually a rather reasonable policy, although I violently disagree with what the far-right define as constituting the leading culture.

For a culture to even be considered as 'leading', it'd have to be strong enough to present itself as such. As in have its own distinct art, language if possible, rituals, ceremonies, ethics and so on and hopefully define them as clearly as possible so as to deliver a consistent message. And then actually deliver said message regularly.

Uhhuh, and why is that? Culture is an organic construct, it doesn't submit itself to definitions of what it is, only what it is not.

In theory perhaps. But definitely not in practice. A lot can be said about what a certain culture is about simply by observing its everyday life. It's just that it keeps evolving with time.

Well go on then, give us a practical example of a culture that cannot be defined by what it is not, but what it is.

Europe is decades behind the united states in a lot of things actually. For example I doubt we would be having the same imigration issues you people are having. Also racial issues, I haven't seen a European on here that doesn't hate gypsies.

I disagree with your assessment but in any case we don't lose refuge children en masse. Which seems to be an improvement over the European attempt.

You do though? Have you looked at how many South Americans die on their way to America? I'm not surprised if you haven't, but it's actually quite a lot. Again the American solution is ignoring the problem, so calling it an improvement seems a bit... Arrogant. But whatver, this isn't america thread.
