She seems to be a true believer. She’s just crazy.

That offer is not in the pipeline for the Palestinians.

The etruscans predominately were not enslaved and conquered, they joined Rome as Allies like other italic peoples. And while the Gauls were conquered, the majority of the population remained intact and Gallic-speaking until after the edict of Caracalla granted them citizenship.

I mean, senior partners routinely bill out at double thé rate of junior partners. And associates/junior partners bill at about double the rate of a high end plumbing or HVAC company. Law school is basically meritocratic and has no shortage of spots, but there’s a brutal prestige hierarchy.

And how much of that is useless Russian citizenship?
Do you really believe that if Israël fell the entire citizen population wouldn’t be welcomed into the west with open arms? The west needs young taxpayers, which Israël has.

The alawites made their own bed. The public mostly isn’t ok with the murders of Druze and Christian civilians; if it was bigger news there would be an outcry.

The etruscans and Gauls disappeared because they started going by ‘Romans’. It’s not an option for the Palestinians to become Israelis.

She was always crazy, but when she turned against Jews she lost the leash.

I mean he’s not wrong, totalitarian regimes are hard on their ruling classes.

No, it’s proof of fearmongering campaigns succeeding at generalizing thé behavior of the bottom 20% of men.

Palestine, unlike Lebanon, would be ethnically pure. The Christians are mostly gone, there wasn’t a large Shia population to begin with.

Yes. Israël is a wealthy country and can pay cash for their weapons.

But Poland, like most of Europe, is a predominately old country.

The most downloaded app, as of today, is the Tea app. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a gossip forum for ‘red flags’ about individual men intended to Help Women Make Better Dating Choices.

First, I do not think that any formerly communist country has an abstinence-only constituency on par with the US evangelicals
Poland is likely the most religious country in the western world. Georgia thé country also has a large religious right, although like other poor second world countries in Eastern Europe EU membership is the overwhelmingly main political issue. Ukraine and Romania also have religious-conservative interests that are politically important, although driven by ethnic splits in some cases.
It is correct to note that Hungary talks about Christian values and proceeds to sleep in on Sundays. That is not necessarily true for everywhere in Eastern Europe.

Ok, but what’s the likelihood democrats will won them back? It seems like they’d need Newsom ‘28 to not go after people who donated to his opponents(lol).

I notice you’re leaving out another solution- loser pays. Yes this means personal injury attorneys will get more selective about cases they take but that’s probably not a bad thing.
Another similar option, just ban someone from seeking further redress for a while (forever?) if they're found to be constantly abusing the courts.
There is an existing process for doing this against repeat filers of frivolous lawsuits. It mostly gets used against incarcerated individuals who file dozens if not hundreds of bizarre lawsuits, but it exists.

Uh, where did you arrive at the idea that it isn’t? It’s a paired activity, kinda inherently a relationship there.

I've talked about this, not at great length, but I've mentioned it, before- cheap labour is cheap for a reason. Interns are a vast improvement over people who'll work for $15/hr in a corporate setting(and BTW, the tenth percentile wage is just above $14/hr. American labour is just really expensive).
There's plenty of working class people who happily make $15-$22 hr. There's a reason they don't get better jobs eventually. Corporate interns generally know things like 'how to keep themselves on track to hit deadlines without constant supervision' and 'how to follow directions correctly without asking for fifteen clarifications every sentence'. These may not be specific skills, but working in a white collar office environment requires abilities like this. Yes, requiring a college degree for this work is excessive, that's why students(who don't yet have one) are doing it as an internship. No, there's not really a solution here(go ahead, name it- no, things like 'flying pigs will provide character references' and 'we'll just kick everyone out of highschool who isn't college material so a diploma counts for the same thing' don't count).

I remember WWII history, but far less of it than Holocaust.

It's totally normal for people to describe shit they think as evil as 'kgb', though. You're correct that people call their political opponents Hitler more than Stalin, but there's always been a token of axiomatic evil in figurative speech- it used to be the biblical pharoah(like from Exodus). Hitler's portrayal during WWII was actually rather buffoonish more than outright evil; the Japs on the other hand...
Now why Hitler gets the title rather than Tojo, that might just be the dominance of Jews in Hollywood. I can remember old folks using terms like 'banzai' to refer to crazy evil, but that was more specific to the crazy part. I can definitely remember, quite recently and by younger people, Stalin used as a metaphor for totalitarian evil. But Hitler definitely takes the generic spot.
No. South Africa was defeated because the white minority fell too low causing the counterinsurgency effort to become increasingly unsustainable, pushing the moderate faction in South African politics to sue for peace.
