This is how satyagraha activism is supposed to go: they've made the bad guys incriminate themselves and put themselves in a bad position legally and in public perception.

Do you think they should have chickened out because of the possibility of arrest?

Honestly a pretty good outcome so far from their nonviolent action.

Well done.

Fun fact: folk etymologies are always lies.

I've also heard that 'gringo' derives from people telling green-clad soldiers to go away (green, go)

I've heard that 'fuck' is an acronym for 'fornication under consent of the king'

All nonsense of course.

Certain topics (mostly household things), I'll think in Irish.

How does the Threefold Law of Return work in a macroeconomic sense?

If I punch someone on the street, the Threefold Law of Return dictates that three guys will then have to punch me. But now those three all need their comeuppance, so nine punching-incidents must happen. Then 27, then 81, etc.

Wiccan karmic economic theory seems very inflationary.

Although this is most likely not at all a political decision, it's great to see Liverpool go for a European kit provider. It's only fitting that Europe's (arguably) currently strongest team will play in outfits designed and provided by a European company.

During its annual session of the National People’s Congress on Wednesday, Premier Li Qiang announced a 7.2% increase in defense spending for 2025.

Beijing is the second-largest military spender after the United States, and it already has the world’s largest navy.

The increase brings China’s defense budget to roughly $246 billion.

It's UN 37/43, adopted 3 December 1982:

"reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle."

I thiiink this is why Northern Irish groups like to use the phrase "armed struggle", https://archive.org/details/armedstrugglehis00engl
