For very much money, as in, let's say, more than 1000x the median person in the wealth distribution, I'd say it's obviously true. You cannot make 1000x the average persons wealth by acting morally. Except possibly winning the

I have not said that Israel should not exist, that is your extrapolation. Israel should be held accountable for what it has done, and if it does not further a two state solution, it should be sanctioned by the international community. Curre

Thank you also for engaging in a civil manner. I still don't understand how you can view the Israeli foundation myth, and the "fear of an existential threat" as legitimate, when the Israeli state's founding was an unjust

This narrative about the founding of Israel is false. Israel was founded in the middle of an offensive when it was "descended upon by the Arab world". That was a defensive reaction to Israel's brutal Plan Dalet, an invasion a

This is interesting, but I wonder about how the threshold will be interpreted. First, the revenue is a fixed number, this is usually a bad idea in contracts that will last a long time. There should be some adjustable indexing going on. Seco

The text does not say "of those children", the text says that 48% of the whole are children, and 40% are under 10 years. I agree it's a little ambiguous, but I read that as meaning that 40% of the total bombing victims were u

In a text that introduces itself with a section describing the increase in brown people, if you talk about crime in the next section, the context is brown people. And you know it, unless your reading comprehension skill is on the level of a

The English are not descended from the neolithic peoples that lived on the British isles. And second generation immigrants are also "birthed" in England (and the rest of the UK). You're just wrong on the basic facts now. But

You seem to be incredibly confused. DHH's fears are all feeling no fact. The "Pakistani rape gangs" targeting "white british girls" and trying to tie brown people to increasing theft is made specificly to paint brow

Ethnonationalists believe that a nationality is defined by ethnicity. That's it. It's a fundamentally confused way to look at the world. The persecution and vilification of other groups is a natural consequence of being an ethnon

You seem to be shifting definitions by moving from native Brits to "indigenous" Brits. And conveniently not responding to the point that native means you're born somewhere. Native is the word DHH uses. The indigenous claim is

If you think white Brits are the only native Brits then you are also an ethnonationalist. But even for a faulty ethnonationalist concept of nationality, the data point makes no sense. I'm white and born in Finland. By your logic, if I

The bad actor part is e.g. shutting down review processes in his company when they contradict his beliefs, and plotting to oust people from RubyGems for having the wrong political beliefs. And he is an ethnonationalist. In "As I rememb

That is a direct paraphrase of the abstract of Kruger & Dunning, 1999[1]: "The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these peop

Yes and no. Dunning-Kruger also explains this evolution of skill estimation, but the original paper frames the effect specifically as an overestimation of skill in the lowest-performing quantile. This is clearly even cited in the article.

As I said below, DHH has repeatedly shown he's a bad actor, whether you think he's a nazi or not. He will continue to drive away sane people from the communities he's a part of. He has also quite clearly taken a nazi or ethno

I'm also European and would identify as centre-left. DHH's opinions align with nazi opinions. He wants a return to tradition, is against equality, and speaks in favor of racially pure ethnostates. If it quacks like a nazi... One r

The issue is that open aource is a community-based development model. If you let nazi's into your community, they will eventually drive away everyone else.

That is insanely disingenuous. Rightly calling out a genocide by a country known to commit war crimes and violate human rights, international law, and previous peace deals is not antisemitic. This is equivalent to you claiming that calling

What is grokipedia? Looks like you're linking a far-right propaganda source without actually arguing anything. Why not state your argument aloud? And link reliable sources.

Ouf, you are either in denial about being wring or in denial about being an ethnonationalist yourself. You're unsuccessfully arguing about minor semantics without addressing any actual points. Have a good day, I hope you find help.

This is sad. You're already picking the raisins out of the bun to misrepresent my argument. I did not claim that sharing an ethnicity means you look down on someone, that's a strawman. The full argument is that defining the in-gro

Did you see that "common ethnic ancestry" is part of what ethnonationalists define a nation through? As part of their central tenet? Do you still claim that I was making that up about ethnonationalism defining nationhood through e

The wikipedia article supports the point I made that you claim I made up: "The central tenet of ethnic nationalists is that "nations are defined by a shared heritage, which usually includes a common language, a common faith, and a
