Quote from: Gups on Today at 02:44:49 PMWonder if the SNP might splitYeah I was thinking that - Harvie's making an explicit pitch that it's time for SNP members and MSPs to consider whether they're in the party that can deliver "progressive" independence or if their values should take them elsewhere. Especially as they're saying the SNP are now appeasing "the most reactionary forces in the country". But also I've been really struck at just how personal and strong the Greens' attacks on the SNP have been today - I think they maybe have an opportunity to become the "left" independence party.

Quote from: Razgovory on Today at 02:25:52 PMThe Palestinians do have a right to self government, and maybe they'll get it when they stop fighting. We weren't going to bring up the German right to self-determination in 1945."Yeah sure. The Palestinians are the problem. They just need to stop resisting whilst their lands get seized then they'll definitely get their country back.
QuoteOut and out traditional Nazis? No, way more people oppose the Jews a right to a country than that. More people oppose Jews breathing than that.I notice you keep dodging the awkward question here.
QuoteFor people who oppose the Jews the right to a country I would write down "The Muslim world". They make up the majority of the anti-Zionist population. Some do recognize that Israel is stronger than they are and can't be immediately destroyed, but few recognize that Jews have a right to self determination like any other country. I could add a multitude of others such as those who believe in anti-colonialism and a large number of Communists, but most of the people who are so interested in Israel that they identify themselves as "anti-zionist" aren't primarily interested in criticizing the Israeli judicial system. They want the whole thing gone.We clearly aren't talking about the Muslim world here though. We are talking about in the west.
Quote from: Josquius on Today at 02:06:29 PM... As an arsenal fan or as a fan of another team?I have sometimes found Arsenal fans a bit annoying/taken the piss.
As I don't think arsenal have ever been at that level in their entire history (though could be wrong digging back to before anyone on the board was born sort of times)
Quote from: Jacob on Today at 02:10:26 PMSaw a headline recently (I think it was in Danish media, or maybe Reddit) that the EU was saying that China has to open up its internal markets for public contracts and make them more equal, or Europe will close their market to Chinese competitors. Not completely sure where it sits in the spectrum of "someone advocating for it" vs "this is what we are doing now, with real resolution" or somewhere in between with some degree of "this is a real signal that should be taken seriously and it might actually happen."My guess is it won't happen because for China it's a strategic interest.
QuoteSo Blinken has arrived in Shanghai and the Chinese have been a little bit cold. No red carpet, and Blinken was met by a lower level official (maybe from the Shanghai government?).I think the official (from what I could tell basically the civil servant in charge of North America in the MFA) is definitely a snub.
Quote from: Jacob on Today at 01:12:53 PMThat said... isn't it kind of academic at this point? Is there any real chance that Trudeau is going to step down?Not a chance.
