@kierkegarchist Or alternatively, every single on he accusers was an adulterer.
Christ being himself was able to remind them all of this to the core of their souls.
@andrew_lilico Same, but a Balkan guy I worked with at the time told me running up to the referendum that they would never follow through on it no matter the result of the vote.
I thought he was overly cynical when he said it.
@TheDonStein Execution that is private hidden or behind closed doors is inherently unjust and tyrannical.
It must be public to be just or moral.
Anyone before 1900 would've understood this.
@EthanWayne2001 Those both sound disordered.
You should interpret each in light of the other, not only in one direction.
You also find plenty of mercy in the old and plenty of wrath in the new.
@bestm8te@TimeForReform29 This might be why Reform leadership don't want a deal yet.
If they election is announced tomorrow they can quietly not stand in great Yarmouth and restore would likely not stand in most of the country.
By 2029 that deal would look more urgent.
Optionality and opportunity cost.
@C_Tocqueville@lotuseaters_com A quick Google search and it says there were 187,00 handguns in Britain before the ban. Which was on handguns not all firearms.
Compared to a population of 56.6M we were not that armed to begin with.
We didn't, then, have a need for them.
We had about 1.34M shotguns, still legal
@bestm8te@TimeForReform29 This is a stronger argument than not currently having the votes.
It looks like restore are counting on a 2029 election and might not run a national campaign if its a 2027 one.
@intothefuture45 Yes you have laid out the actual serious debate.
Was the "balance of power" theory of imperial foreign policy sane and just or not?
Both with or without hindsight it's not a question to handwave or presume the correct answer is the one you want. Whichever way you lean.
@Aelthemplaer@tedcruz Yes but for totally different reasons.
Partisans would've murdered two generations of occupying German men in 20 years across the vast breadth they sought to occupy.
All their allies, foreign volunteers brigades etc would've turned against them the second the Soviets fell.
