In such a world (which is, by any means likely ever to be available, impossible), we’d still run against the issue that the state has the authority to kill people. This world would…

That’s one way to define “local,” and in fairness to you, it is the most popular. But the other way of looking at local production - not unlike times before globalized agriculture …

Compromising informants working for a foreign government invading another foreign land is not a crime, nor much of a moral dilemma. The risk inherent to collaborationism is also no…

The comparison to slavery is rather distasteful. Both by recognizing actual slavery and by the simple reality of public service being a profession, not a sentence. Your right to he…

The right to a gadget and the right to health are incomparable on a number of levels. Even besides that, women’s suffrage is less than a century old in most places, and just about …

Ah! You’re your own Jerusalem; ever in the middle. :) That does make more sense: unless I read you wrong, leftism wasn’t a real sway here - and that’s easier to square away. Leftis…

US support, extraordinarily stalwart as it is, has shown its first cracks. Western allies are considerably less religiously motivated, or defense-industrial-linkage motivated, and …

Out of idle curiosity, how did you arrive at Zionism from a non-jewish and leftist background? That has to be one of the rarest identities to simultaneously associate with.

The “also” implies relatedness. It is a broader trend in the music industry. For a specific example with Spotify, you might recall the Drake promo debacle from 2018; where “Scorpio…

The old Onion joke about a nation with a GoFundMe-based healthcare system rings true.

That’s what I do on my site! It is (AFAIK) the only way to get platform-specific, dynamic emojis as the favicon.
