Basically you people will praise CDC for lying to you, because they had "good" reasons and will go to absurd lengths defending being lied to

Read it again: "many countries had compulsory masks already". E.g. american exceptionalism, shortages were global. And CDC lied.

More than 6mo ago many countries had compulsory masks (while CDC was telling people to not buy them for BS reasons). American exceptionalism

Whereas most Americans socialists have studyied socialism yet never experienced its practical implementation (and no,Sweden doesn't have it)

Goldies are also most popular so will be overrepresented in your sample. And I guess that those were dogs kept outside - not suitable for GR

Goldies are chaotic good though

But I still feel that Mediterraneans, Slavs and Germans are quite different from each other historically/ethnically/culturally.

In USA it seems that everyone but African Americans are white :D In Europe every shade of skin makes people feel they're different...

Well, I didn't invent the term "white", but Americans use it very differently to Europeans/rest of the world.

Redheaded levantines/persians exist still so not sure what you're negating. Even if you're assuming descriptions from Bible are reliable.

Not just culturally, but also historically - Slavs and Germans came to Europe much later and mostly after ancient world has collapsed

The only reason is so that northern (white) supremacists can claim ancient greek/roman cultural heritage.

Culturally southern europeans and northern are pretty disparate. Also they look different. So why group them together?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

They're not white neither, more of "olive skinned", e.g. looking like south europeans rather than north ones.

While that's a catchy slogan I'd be really happy if Americans considered other other things, too.Like having an actual reason for those wars

Science is a method and a fact. I don't understand why it needs to be called "great", often non-scientists do that in religious awe of it

And it's hardly simplistic. In countries that have been curbing freedom of speech this has been an easily tracked phenomenon.

Nonconformists are liked and lot of people of people will get attracted to outspoken rebels (yeah, not smart ones, but still a lot)

Obviously they feel like banning idiots like Duke on certain platforms solves more problems than it creates (and they're wrong).

And I say that as a hater of US middle east policy of escalation or of Saudi Arabia - before anyone assumes I am John Bolton.

Then again what use would an academic be as a spy? Although we do know very little about the case, Iranian regime is paranoid and tyrannical

Too bad the reforms were so useless they resulted in revolution.

I'd actually be surprised if Bill Kristol wasn't lying for once.

I wish that wasn't the only thing stopping USA from doing it but at this stage I'd take whatever...

Didn’t CDC recommend masks only in April? Any masks, not just medical grade. That’s incompetence, too. Just pales with Trump’s, but still...
