But the EU is not actually contending anything.
Anyway, cheers.
Like I said, not a lost cause. But I'm pessimistic based on what I'm seeing European politicians actually doing.
That said, I am not sure I buy the "beat chance" rhetoric, that's too Fukuyama-ist for my taste. History didn't end.
The EU has to earn its reputation as a champion of human rights and international law back. So far I haven't seen any movement towards that. It's not a lost cause yet but I am not optimistic.
Lost third spaces, hanging out with other kids and helicopter parenting/stranger danger.
Cool, so be super responsible on their part instead. If they can't be trusted to save up themselves, do the saving up of all the money yourself, o wise conservative. And let's put all that money in a trust fund for them and just give them the dividends. Let's call those dividends a "Universal Basic Dividend".
That's just tankie campism upside down.
In my post I literally take the side of the Hague Group. International law, UN courts, the Rome Statute, the rules based international order.
You want to push the West to be better? Take that side.
Are we still talking about rural and periurban Ireland?
I don't appreciate using the environment as a cudgel to entrench the expendability of human lives in the altar of the fast car.
Ooooo urban people and their weird "don't kill pedestrians" ideas.
I know right? I choose the Hague Group.
Oh wait what, you meant the genocide enabling Trump-led block?
"Military vet" with a picture of a horse, I thought it was a veterinarian at first 🤷

Future generations treating past generations with disdain is kind of the whole point of social progress. Slavery has only been a social taboo in the last couple centuries max. Women's equal political rights are even more recent, only about 100 years. LGBT rights are barely a generation old. So wtf is this argument? It's logical extension is "infant exposure is OK, the Romans did it just fine"
