@@stevenengland7244 Vermont had started a Sister city campaign "Lake Champlain launched a sister-city program with Yaroslavl, located 160 miles northeast of Moscow". Sanders in his official capacity as Mayor of Burlington, as a gesture of goodwill and in the interest of Diplomatic Relations used this opportunity to visit said City. To this day many U.S states have Russian sister cities. What was the appeal for Nikita Khrushchev to visit the United States? Are you saying politicians don't perform diplomatic visits? And they only ever make these visits for ideological reasons?

Well it's a bit confusing, because one could assume it's in a string of conclusions, like "If children are primarily educated in public schools, then the state controls education. If the state controls education, then students can be indoctrinated in its agenda". We commonly use 'if' even when the statement is something we believe to be fact simply to demonstrate that the conclusion follows from that premise. Michael was assuming the political compass test was presuming economic globalization inevitability as fact. Besides, the political compass test isn't written to illicit one's political philosophy or policy preferences, it's meant to illicit emotional reactions to different alternatives, attempting to classify people politically according to their psychological values. If anything's stupid it's the test.

@@moej3911 that’s not really a valid read, but by sentence was convoluted to some extent. I’m saying superiority and inferiority are the same thing as preference, which is subjective and personal. Want to go into a tight cave? Being smaller is likely preferable, i.e. superior. Same thing in reverse with basketball. Same thing also with wine that displays certain characteristics in Italy but also less formally with wines that are aged longer. To cut to the chase, high melanin is a superior quality for anybody who wishes to endure a high dose of solar irradiation, while avoiding skin cancer as well as skin degradation. Except for the health opposing masochists, for whom the opposite would be true. Therefore any group, be it genetic, or social, is almost guaranteed to have members who are knowingly, as well as unknowingly, superior and inferior in multiple ways, in contrast to other groups. And btw, whiteness is an adaptation to lower radiation in northern latitudes. Since less uv light is absorbed by pigment, vit d production is higher. Conversely high melanin in northern latitudes equates to a low vit d status without artificial supplementation.

If you're a Christian, you believe in demons and the devil. You probably also believe that demons can influence people, including being able to impart knowledge to them.

Eighth leg of the Phantom Troupe Ah yes, the hitlerman was totally on the right wing Despite the fact that Hitler himself led the “national socialist” party, called his country “beyond socialism,” not controlling the companies (because that always leads to economic collapse and he wasn’t *that* stupid) but instead controlling the people. He considered the people as property to the government, and did a small variation on socialism’s “class warfare” to instead be “race warfare.” He had a 4 year plan in the latter years of his rule and repeatedly praised Germany’s communist rule in the same. He also was considering becoming communist himself because of Germany’s apparent success (from the outside) and would’ve jumped on the bandwagon earlier if not for his doubts about the political model. I just learned a lot of this recently from MisesU (I’ll find the specific video), but he was definitively far left, and it’s a shame to see the outright misinformation from the MSM.

To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are more moderate. That’s how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass. The propositions should not be overthought. Some of them are intentionally vague.

@@marcusvergara6193 he literally explains it right after, with special regard for mutilation, which is indeed how most societies/legislatures view the issue. Y’all’s stupidity can’t be at the heart of y’all’s arguments.
