TLDR; both used (democratic) councils, Druids, similar culture & art, Sky Father or afraid of the Sky.

I mean, yeah? They were both Indo-European cultures. There would be a lot of similarities due to that, combined with the frequent cultural contact.

This has been my favorite response so far. It explains nothing, but the mental image is priceless.

Protest without the ultimate threat of force behind it is a parade.

I’ve never heard it worded this way, before, but it sums up something that has been bothering me about modern protests: they are parades.

Great. Let’s microwave human dissenters, especially the physically disabled.

And let’s test this previously-unknown weapon on helpless mice and monkeys; that’s how we KNOW we’re morally correct in building the weapon!

Do you know if both Aldi companies have similar values, structurally? Like, low costs and quality food?

I just moved to a big city, so I went to Trader Joe’s for the first time not long ago. It’s pricier and it feels more boutique-y, so less, I dunno, functional? Like it’s great for unique flavors and organic options, but it has fewer staples that most US pantries rely on. I still enjoy it though!

Thank you. I suspect that most of this magazine’s content has this angle since its target audience is rich people. Am I incorrect? I hope i am incorrect.

This is a helpful perspective! Thanks!

I’m glad someone else asked this question.

I, an ignorant, would love to see Canada be a part of the EU, but I really appreciate you breaking down the concerns of such a move. I appreciate seeing comments with actual arguments and reasons, rather than just superficial statements. So, thank you for that.

Okay, so how do we stop him?

I can’t read it due to paywall. What flavor of propaganda is it?

An oversimplified "just do [blank] to satisfy my illogical demands or else you're a Nazi sympathizer and deserve to have your property vandalized" isn't practical.

This right here. I agree that such people advocating these positions must be bad actors, but in case there are real people who think they alone hold the moral bar that everyone must clear: “Go fuck yourself.” Everyone has to start somewhere, and alienating those that are still learning is not helping.
