@BHRMT123@thealexvanness The Bund strategy was tried three times. Each was an unmitigated disaster.
1. Europe
2. USSR
3. Arab/Mizrahi world, dozens of mini experiments, each a failure
How many bloody strikes until this batter admits it is out?
@BHRMT123@thealexvanness Certainly Herzl was not so specific, nor would anything that horrific have seemed credible. But in broad strokes, the Zionists thought bad stuff was afoot and would get worse and worse, while the Bundists thought everything would be okay.
@BHRMT123@thealexvanness "No one predicted that Jews would have experience an extinction-level genocide in a few years."
Theodore Herzl absolutely did.
"We cannot flee from our enemies; we must create a home for ourselves. The longer the postponement, the more severe will be the catastrophe."
@realBigBrainAI This is an invalid argument: depends on the details. Would "learn to do sums quickly on paper" have been good advice with the advent of calculators? Would "always need good cobblers" be good advice when shoe factories came online? 75% of the US worked on farms in 1800; now 1.3%.
@Bev_Copnell@pagingkaren There are many possible purposes for a test. We're only talking about one here: certification. The others can and should be served by in-house tests, quizzes, midterms, homeworks, projects, etc.
@PhysInHistory Apparently she didn't think they'd done anything unforgivable.
After leaving King's College in 1953, Franklin struck up a warm friendship with Francis Crick and his wife Odile. Towards the end, as her illness progressed, she spent time resting and convalescing at their home.
@erasmuse@TomCotterillX Is that a serious question?
Because in addition to being uncomfortable and impeding normal activities, a vest would provide very little protection to a small child too immature to defend the parts of their body left exposed: neck, head, limbs, etc.
@SamaHoole This is not due to supply chains, prices, or preference. The oceans are seriously overfished: you just can't catch that stuff anymore.
