Best news (propaganda?) all week: https://archive.ph/tJRXY https://archive.ph/tJRXY Now Iran is only slightly more concerning than Greenland.. (Has The Man rescinded (threats of) secondary sanctions yet? [Insert modern geopo chengyu]) Hope the CH pundits, if any, are more level-headed than EU ones? Btw.. One way for reasonable people to justify the existence/organization (albeit-- not methods/training!!) of the US counterpart(s) of Basij, if the following is any accurate: https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/kidnapping/ https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/kidnapping/ (E: I see some of the usual suspects, eg PH, are actually missing)

  I'd guess some of those countries rank highly because they're counting parents disappearing with non-sole-custody children as kidnappings? I'll also note that while former Yugoslavs seemed to have no trouble playing "one less sentient one less vote" in their home countr{y,ies}, they also seem to have no trouble getting along with each other here. Set and Setting?

    a Francophone proclivity (legal+statisticians+perps) I'm not aware of? Indeed eyeballing the list I second Greece as the most exciting destination for a budding anthropo-criminologist :)

        I think I'm aware of the discussion you're steering for habitually confuse the 2 (or rather, their names): https://magdamiu.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/13.png https://magdamiu.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/13.png (What lines the trolling cross, if any? A "Hofstede" take would be celebrated too!)

Goog (sorry!) Monumentalist cultures see success as internal talent and failure as bad luck, while flexhumble cultures attribute success to external factors and failure to internal ones, influencing everything from national pride to economic behavior. Another take on Buxton (hmm)

        As far as monumentalism goes, my wife always wonders why US Americans always worry about pride, either of themselves or others' in them...

        My preferred tinfoil hobby is K-12 and childcare :) (K-9 for a better pun?)
