well, in the UK we call it 9/11. we sometimes joke about it being november 9th but american influence is so powerful we just sort of roll with it. not sure about non-english countries, but the same might apply.

Sounds like a good idea. The city and the country needs to be shut down, and locked down.

Yup. By 9/11 we usually mean the 9th of November.

I remember reading 100.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

I don't know. Cultural relativist immigration policies seem entirely relevant to the situation.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

He's basically asking the Muslims to be deported, executed, etc.

Yes, in 2001, he was in another party (the VVD, a conservative-liberal party) that limited his ability to discriminate. But later, we saw his real face - when he established the new PVV - as a hate spreading man. Really, he is not to be trusted.


Well Muslims are not 40% of the U.K population (as I believe is the case with the Netherlands...I think). If it reached such "levels" maybe Farage would go for the jugular, but at the moment he lets off the odd bit of "its no sin to be patriotic yadadadada" but generally sticks to border control and Europe.


Uhm. The muslims form only 5,5% of the total population, while the UK has 4,6%.
Pro: tolerance, individualism, technocratism, democratism, freedom, freedom of speech and moderate religious expression, the ban on hate speech, constitutional monarchism, the Rhine model
Against: intolerance, radicalism, strong discrimination, populism, fascism, nazism, communism, totalitarianism, authoritarianism, absolutarianism, fundamentalism, strong religious expression, strong nationalism, police states

If you like philosophy, then here you can see what your own philosophical alignements are.
