People by large still believe in the scientific process, they just don't trust the people who claim practicing science. To an outsider it seems that these days that universities mostly concern themselves with activism and feelings and

For me the experience is the opposite from what yours is. Cities, homes, food, temperament in my experience change completely when you cross a border from Germany to France. There really is no parallel between unification of German states t

Any German person has an order of magnitude more in common with an another German person than it has with any other person from a different EU country. It has nothing to do with overestimating or underestimating similarities when the effect

They all speak the same language and have the same culture and not at all similar to the EU.

Pax Americana (NATO) is what is keeping Europe peaceful at the moment and not the EU. Europe had long periods of peace as well long periods of wars throughout its history.

And which race would Latino represent?

The answer is unambiguous yes. There has never been more laws, more agencies, more regulation, more government employees and so on.

Legal power without means to enforce it is meaningless, hence the civil war when the government was weaker in the past.

Immensely more powerful than at any of those points you have written. Today at a push of a button it can eliminate most of the world as we know it. Remember, it had to fight civil war to prevent people owning other people.

This is an article about MMT, isn't it? And no, not all economics is pseudo science. Maybe you're looking at economics too much from the political point of view and too little from a scientific perspective.

I'm sorry i don't understand in what way your reply where your point is that things changed through time in any way invalidates what acqq and I wrote. Maybe we are just talking past each other and we don't see it. I also don&

Modern money theory is neither modern neither a theory in a scientific sense of the word. It's more like a fake moon landing type of theory. It's a honey trap for the type of people who mistake an appearance of science to be scien

You make it seem like that there are two kinds of slavery: one is good and the other one is bad. They took small children and made them mercenaries to plunder the very lands they have been taken from. A lot of them died or got crippled in

I think you are asking me the wrong question here. If we keep things in context, the right question is: Does the large majority of people who get the chance to be funded by the military accept its offer? The answer is yes.
