They organisers knew the courts had instructed police to stop it. If they wanted to protest then they should've organised protests and demonstrations, which are perfectly allowed in Spain. That would be the democratic way. Not to insis

It wasn't the government. Spain has separation of powers. The courts declared the action illegal and directed the police to end it. The organisers knew of the court's decision and still went ahead. That is reckless. If they wanted

Catalonia is and was ever just a region. The comparison with Scotland would be apt if it were Aragon wanting independence, not a region thereof.

He said it's null in comparison. Were it Aragon calling for independence then his comparison would not make sense. But it isn't, is it?

It's not tactical criticism, it is a personal account of what anyone can see by searching youtube for "antifa": that they're thugs who use their supposed "anti-fascism" as a pretext for their thuggery. If there

A lot of people disagree with what my eye tells me? OK. But I still can't distinguish. I have no clue if a person is Jewish or not from just looking at her, unless she's wearing something indicative. As for people not being at war

To clarify - sabotage implies real risks to everyone around you, because it's hard to find the saboteur and it normally entices collective punishment. I find it difficult to understand why one wouldn't want to join a fighting forc

It's funny how utterly incapable most are to actually directly and specifically answer your question. - I have grievance X, how should I safely discuss it? - I can't possibly have grievance X!

So you're open-minded to what you're open-minded and closed-minded about what you're closed-minded about. Cool. That's the same as saying freedom is being allowed to do what we should do and not allowed to do what we sho

How hypocritical. Tolerance is only tolerance if it's voluntary. Otherwise it is coercion at best, tyranny at worst. If you have to impose it, it's not tolerance anymore.

First, the links were redacted - at least from the version published around here. Secondly, you really believe that even if had all the references in the world that it would make a difference? This topic is way past "references".

So you wouldn't risk your life but you would risk your family's, friend's and colleagues instead?

I remember reading some time ago about an Indian guy who was developing something like that. He said all he needed was investment but couldn't find anyone interested. Edit: here it is https://www.bloomberg.com/news&#x2F

My bet is that it wasn't or it would've been the first thing written. The fact they don't explicitly say who did it, or who they think did it, or whom the "troubling news from Syria" say did it, makes me think they

Front is also used by the left - Front Popular - and I think they were trying to play with that back when they named the party. It doesn't mean "war" in this context, it simply means a common side to face something else. It i

You are wrong. The "corporations" of Estado Novo were not commercial corporations like Monsanto, or P&G. The corporations in corporatism are understood to be representatives of the broad professional groups. There was an ass
