Incidentally, this is a great argument to China that they shouldn't back down.

I come from a family of academics, and there's a word of advice that I remember hearing said to others since I was a kid "If you want to write a thesis, you will always feel that you have not done enough research. Eventually, you need to actually write despite that feeling." Perhaps you could include the books you haven't read as a little "further reading" section.

I think so? I've been blind before but I thought I remembered "agenda" being on there too.

Makes perfect sense, thank you. I would have had no problem with an explanation of any length (and the forum might be interested in you making a post on this topic at some point) but I respect your time and patience.

I have no doubt that there are some, but there are also insanely unscrupulous groups that actively use elementary schools as military bases and so on, so I don't think it works as a full explanation compared even to the religion hypothesis.

My issue was the "gorillion", not the 20. There are other options like, idk, "bazillion" that work just as well, or just a nice simple "trillion" for the absurdity.

Thank you!

If reunification has become less popular, is there a general cause of this that wouldn't require you writing out a treatise for the sake of an offhand question?

Singapore isn’t a “city-state” in Malaysia, it was booted out of Malaysia to fulfill the comprador Malay feudal classes interests here in Malaysia,

I know nothing about this subject. Is it sort of like what happened with Hong Kong and/or Macau?

I feel like it's more the racism than the religious devotion, but who's to say?

What about a male prostitute?

They are vastly, vastly less common and this is just a poor attempt at a counterpoint because conservatives also dislike male prostitutes, but the answer is that to the socialist male prostitution also represents a problem. It is a smaller problem in absolute terms, but on a "per capita" basis it is of similar severity.

"If we just remove the context of the largest human trafficking disaster Europe has seen in 30 years, it makes sense to want to be a prostitute in Ukraine!" Ukraine is literally the worst place on the continent to be doing that right now, not that it's really the best place to do anything other than die.
