The whole ‘conquering the stars’ idea has always seemed like an empty platitude to me. What does that even mean, practically speaking? Even an incredibly overcrowded, polluted earth would be more tolerable than trying to survive on the desolate planets that are reachable to us.
@AngloSocDem The problem is at what point does ensuring your child get into unviersity mean you have to rob them of their childhood, forcing them to study long hours and attend afterschool tutoring. Asian strivers are willing to do this.
The french are so very ugly too me. Dark-eyed, swarthy, rat-faced, often have large jutted-out ears. I can often not tell the difference between them and their MENA immigrants.
I was speaking with my cousin in the car and said that I distrust anyone who becomes religious later in life. He was pretty much silent the rest of the ride. Later I found out that he had recently taken up Catholicism... LOL
@DKeatsianYankee I don't understand how his views on immigration are in anyway good. Basically the shitlib belief that "they worked so hard to get here" so they deserve citizenship?
@AngloSocDem Same as the online Christians who shame former sex workers who converted, as if the whole religion wasn't based upon being "born again" and forgiveness of past sins.
@wurdspeak No man you don’t understand. We have to maintain a growing population forever and irreparably damage the environment or else the economy will friggin collapse
@u4653rgjj@avaricum777 In the Austrian empire, they were forced to adopt surnames. Most were assigned German last names by bureaucrats, wealthier Jewish families paid to have prettier sounding German names such as Rosenfeld. Most weren’t actually living in Germany at that time.
