re-tweeting things I find compelling and/or want to read later.

@BrankoMilan Branko I don't think anyone in China actually cares about Marxism. 'Unifying Plato and Confucius' is the type of rubbish that will only appeal to washed up western Marxists

[Helen McEntee TD @HMcEntee]

This week in the Sunday Business Post, I explained why Ireland’s proposed ban on goods from illegal Israeli settlements is legally robust, consistent with international law & an important step in supporting peace, accountability and a viable two-state solution.

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@edwest I suspect this will provoke a fresh outpouring of slop from right wing Russo-philes that they shouldn't want closer ties with Europe because gay rights or something

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@Teutonchud444 Germany has a vastly larger pro-Russia constituency than Ireland. Views like this are only held by tiny minority of cranks

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@fosandair If spilling blood for your nations freedom and placing yourself at vanguard of 21st century warfare in the process is 'pseudo-nationalism', what would that make you? You just post slop on Twitter

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@fosandair Utterly deranged to think a mere list of companies provides a justification for murdering hundreds of thoudands in an invasion. Are so embarrassed by what Russia actually is that you have invent this bollox fantasy of its actions?

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@ubiquitousnewt @hbdchick You're obviously desperate to define Englishness as something fixed to the point sterility

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@ubiquitousnewt @hbdchick English people having a gene pool is a trivally obvious claim. It's not same thing as Englishness being encoded it DNA. Were that case the descendants of English people would not develop new identies when born abroad, nor would others be able to assimilate to it

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@ubiquitousnewt @hbdchick That's ridiculous. Englishness is an abstract concept. Such things aren't encoded in DNA

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@ubiquitousnewt @hbdchick I think DNA is pretty indifferent to whether I like it or not

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@ubiquitousnewt @hbdchick So it's a-historical to use it as the basis of English identity

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@nonregemesse I don't imagine John Lennon either, what's your point?

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@nads_bf @AgentofSimp @fearthe_void That they revised the figures is surpirsing or controversial

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

Why were basic things from train carriages to lamp posts so much nicer back then? Why can't we do this anymore?

[DaVinci @BiancoDavinci]

Train carriage interior from 1900s.

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@nads_bf @AgentofSimp @fearthe_void Yea, I know your not going to find any supporting evidence

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@chizimizi159321 @ShinMarginalScr It's not what excemption covers technically, but if a group are given an excemption regarding knives, then the police will generally not stop them if they have sheathed knives regardless of the technical specifications

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@DannyMcDai567 Why are so many SF apologists for Russian imperialism? Their analogies to Ireland are so apparent. Like you're a literal partitionist

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@chizimizi159321 @ShinMarginalScr In practice, no, as illustrated by the footage of him walking around with sheathed blades. If some groups are allowed to carry knives then in practice the police will not inspect them with rulers to determine their length and curvature

[Felix @CyberHermetics]

@chizimizi159321 @ShinMarginalScr Yes, but it was the religious exception law that allowed him carry daggers in the first place
