I'm afraid to ask what the second thing is...

Your last paragraph I completely agree with and is exactly the point I'm trying to make. No matter how sure you are that you're in the right and championing the right cause, the only way to make sure that you really are is to be in a position of constant doubt about it. The second you stop reflecting on it is when you can be made to do anything. The ones that think themselves outside ideology are always those most deeply inside of it.
I get what you're saying, but you're talking about people as if they were immutable. Empathy only works if you see the other side as human or deserving — which is why there's always a concerted campaign to dehumanize the victims of a genocide to the aggressors. Never believe you are above falling into that trap, because the second you believe you are the exception is when you're most easily duped into losing your humanity. You may see it plainly here and now, but you might not another time when the circumstances are different...
I think the point is: anyone can end up acting out a facist fantacy, even you, if you're not careful. The quality of 'evil' is surprisingly all-too-human... If you're interested, the film "Jojo Rabbit" explores the idea a bit. Worth a watch!
Do you not see that this is exactly the point? What good is a new bike path if it doesn't lead anywhere? I'm not sure how you see this as a problem of too many bike paths and not too few bike paths Genuinely asking if you can see the merit of this point — as I 100% agree with your premise, and 100% disagree with your conclusion.
This data shouldn't be displayed like this. This is a cumulative distribution function, displayed as a bar chart. As this is cumulative data, it should be displayed continuously with a line or an area.
It's clear in the article that they're asking guests with specific nationalities that the hotel has identified as being high-risk for having committed war crimes (Israel and Russia, among others).
That's literally in the second sentence of the article.
That feeling is the point. They expect you wont resist if you can't understand what's going on.
The movie is about smart people not breeding. The smart people stoped existing. It wasn't a decision to ignore smart people and listen to dumbasses, there were only dumbasses. The obvious problem with the movie is that it's about eugenics (which doesn't work that way), but your take changes the plot to be about something that it isn't.
