"Of all the sciences cultivated by mankind, Astronomy undoubtedly is the most sublime and the most useful. By knowledge derived from this science, our very faculties are enlarged with the grandeur of the ideas it conveys, our minds exalted above their low contracted prejudices."
James Ferguson (1757)
if the chinese had the concept of "aura loss" in their culture they might have been able to comprehend how their crashout over mbappe looks to everyone else
@commieoflagos That's not what dictatorship means. Capitalism surely has its problems and income inequality levels are a major issue... and it has nothing to do with dictatorial systems. You're conflating things.
Mbappe is another reminder to everyone that you do not want to live in a world where the US or the West aren't the true global superpower.
All our fundamental human rights to free speech and to live freely exist because of that.
@anna_p_neumann Typical authoritarian behavior. Such systems stand on pillars of sand, so they must be super protective of their ridiculous narratives and fake history.
๐จChinaโs state broadcaster on Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid:
"We believe that Mbappe's outrageous remarks have harmed the Chinese people, crossed a line, and exceeded the scope of freedom of speech. Mbappe is a Real Madrid player, and the club bears significant responsibility.
We reiterate that words and actions that hurt the feelings of the Chinese people will naturally be met with resistance from all sectors of Chinese society. We hope Real Madrid will not indulge in wishful thinking. Until Real Madrid issues an apology, all other discussions are off-limits."
I was expecting Israel to be a little Americaโmostly English-speaking, a land full of convenience.
What I found was distinctly Middle Easternโthe people are brash, speak with their hands, and often don't know a lick of English. There are stray cats everywhere, mopeds, and graffiti. The street signs are in Hebrew, English, and Arabic. There is a mosque on prime beachfront property in Tel Aviv.
There is every kind of citizen imaginable. I saw Ethiopian Jews serving in the IDF. While touring an ancient Jewish site, I ran into a group of Arab schoolchildren also there to learn. I met a Mizrahi cab driver whose parents fled Morocco in the 50s.
Douglas Murray famously made Americans irate when he flamed Dave Smith on an episode of Joe Rogan for having never traveled to Israelโbut heโs right. Visiting Israel shows you just how wrong the west is about the Jewish state.
Just go there.
@Bloodraven____ Are you serious? That literally happens everyday. And it's not even true, and it still doesn't matter, people can say whatever they want.
Unbelievable levels of stupidity.
Again, Jew hatred rots your brain, folks. Be aware of it, and take active measures to prevent it from creeping into your subconscious. Otherwise, you risk becoming so consumed by hatred that you lose the ability to think and end up like this grotesque caricature of a human being.
