Persist in what? My original was that population sizes between states were relatively more even back then than now. 1780 is probably not the best year, though. e.g. New York was still a slave state. Of course the gap only grew bigger over t

Another thing is that I’m not sure he really ignored the will of the people. “The people” were severely oppressed and the policies they supported ignored and rejected for the past 80+ years by the tightly knit oligarchy at the top. The over

> protect their believes Is there much left in there besides extreme hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance? Their beliefs seem to be highly fluid and aligned with whatever the dear leader is saying at any given movement. Daily radical swing

The differences in population weren’t that massive in the early years, though.

To be fair Ceasar was replaced by a few even more oppressive wannabe tyrants. He never posted lists of his political enemies to be murdered and was generally pretty lenient. Probably led to his downfall. Augustus made sure to squash all pot

From high risk countries, full of extremists and other dangerous people like the US? Seems pretty reasonable.

You get an Intel CPU glued to some generic motherboard. If you don’t need GPIO a random N100 PC can do everything a Raspberry can (and you can get an adapter for that).

It obvious is. I’am not saying whether collectivism is good or bad, though.

> and freely If that was the case i.e. nobody wanted to build anything new on their land why would the “convenant” be necessary. Or is the idea that former owners can impose these decisions they made on anyone they sell the property to?

Severely limiting the property rights of anyone owning land there doesn’t necessarily seem reasonable

Apple would abandon other IDEs and shitify AppCode over time. Ideally they’d do what Google did with Android Studio. Of course Apple would never openly admit that their product is inferior to that of any of their competitors..

Well.. Afrikaans people are as native to SA as Americans and Canadians are to their countries. Netherlands loses control of it about the same time as US became independent and they developed mostly independently since then

Well majority of the white population in South Africa don’t have a home country to return to either. Afrikaans people moving to Australia, Britain or the US is not much different than forcing the Jewish people in Israel to go to those count

There is a fringe minority in Israel (who seem to be very influential politically due to various reasons) who are only marginally better than Hamas, though.

That’s true. However Israel is allowing Hamas to maintain some presence and control over Gaza instead of directly occupying it like the allies did.

> They're still in control of a significant minority of Gaza territory If so its only because Israel decided to allow them to maintain that control. > but it's a pretty short term solution. Exactly, that seems to be Israel’s

This is not WW2. This is much closer to the 2001 war in Afghanistan. Hamas is a terrorist organization. They can stage terror attacks their conventional military capacity is insignificant. Much like US vs the Taliban. Also it’s not like the
