“Thank God, we are wiping out this evil. We are pushing this population that has been educated on ‘Mein Kampf.'”

I literally do not understand how someone can say this with a straight face when you're talking about wiping out a group of people based on ethnicity/religious beliefs.

What I said was literally from the article. This is about an association of governors, not parliament.

Also, I'm assuming you're talking about Sanseito, which does not have a majority. The recent election just gave them more seats (which isn't great obviously, but is very different from them controlling parliament). Note that when I say "more seats," I mean it went from 1 to like 15 or something out of 250 or so.

I mean they're sorta trying to do that. They're calling for effectively more immigration and listening to younger people and women rather than just having a bunch of old dudes decide everything. They've kinda got a lot of problems that have piled up though (economy, work culture, shrinking rural communities, etc.).

Given that most of the people I know who go to (or went to) what you'd call moderate churches also voted for Trump, I'd say your view is at best flawed.

I haven't really checked since I've never needed to, but I imagine there's a way to report that they've harassed you, which presumably would be worse for them.

Not really surprising. China's not a particularly great neighbor since their govt seems to enjoy claiming territory it don't actually control.

I don't know anything about this product, but if the data is just on an SD card attached to the doorbell, couldn't someone just steal the SD card? Like, this is why offsite storage for cameras is useful.

This really doesn't sound that off from something he'd do.

Reading the article, I'm not entirely sure the survey authors are claiming that. The quote they pulled sounds like it just says among the people surveyed (who are known to be trans), those stats apply. They're definitely very easy to misuse though. I feel like it would be nice to actually have good stats for people who detransition, but it seems almost impossible without someone trying to bias the results at this point.

She doesn't really seem to be saying there's much nuance. What she is saying is she doesn't know how to make an entertaining video with the mess, she doesn't want to accidentally contribute to anti-semitism (by having it lumped in with anti-Zionism), and she feels like just screaming about it online doesn't actually help Palestinians. You can argue about whether these points should really stop her from making a video, but it doesn't mean she thinks Israel is justified from some angle.

Their dignity seems a bit fragile. Might want to work on that.
