It says gray is no data, not neutral.

Oh shit I didn’t notice. As a proud grammar Nazi, I must now commit keppusu.

I live in a region that’s been a melting pot for quite some time now

If you’re in Europe, I’d wager that your country has a thriving right wing movement that has seen increased support over the last 10 years, and that they gained that support at least partially by promising to stop immigration or deport immigrants. Otherwise, well, there’s too little information here for me to say anything.

That’s not rooted in objective reality or facts.

It’s objective truth that a significant fraction of any population is deeply xenophobic and doesn’t view these things as you do. I’m making a claim about the human psyche, not ethnic differences, so you’re not really refuting my point.

but a felon can run as a candidate

No no this one is one of the good ideas in the American system. In dictatorships this sort of restriction can be and is used as a way to prevent political rivers from running for office.

I can imagine like 20-30% of racists around, or people who’ve been fooled by some charismatic character. But not half.

You have too much faith in humanity. A smart-sounding Greek guy or another said that democracy is only possible with a homogenous population, otherwise the country will tear itself apart. I don’t agree with that conclusion, but the process they described is true, in both Europe and America. The way I see it, America has been ethnically diverse for a lot longer so they’re closer to or at the peak of the allergy-like reaction you witness in an ethnically diverse democracy. Meanwhile Europe only started feeling it recently because of Middle Eastern immigration, and it’s looking like that. Europe will in all likelihood go down a worse version of the same trajectory we’ve seen unfold in America.

The first one makes more sense when you realize that America was originally supposed to be somewhere between one large state and X independent states in an EU-style union. Presidential elections are the federal government asking the states who they want to be president and the states then asking the people (technically they don’t have to do that part AFAIK). It’s weird but internally consistent at least.

Without the evolutionary pressure to maintain high melanin levels in the skin, and possibly also from interbreeding with Neanderthaal, European people’s got paler.

But what’s the evolutionary pressure keeping melanin levels among ethnicities that stayed black? And why does it affect people in Central and South Africa but not in North Africa and the Middle East, when both regions are about equally hot?

Part of it is Christian single issue voters. He got a bunch of votes with abortion stuff.

This would’ve been cute if it wasn’t so horrifying.

is false.

How so? Hamas attacked a number of Israeli military bases and outposts on October 7th, which was along with taking hostages the goal of the attack. The Israeli narrative conveniently ignores that, painting the whole thing as one big act of barbarism.

still Hamas killing innocent people is not deserving of compassion albeit I understand their reason.

It’s not about compassion. They definitely committed a bunch of atrocities on October 7th, and that very much deserves condemnation, but ignoring the very real military goals behind the attacks helps no one but Israel. Nobody really talks about that anymore, but if you remember before it was overshadowed by the genocide in Gaza things like how much of Israeli accusations against Hamas was true, how many casualties were Israeli friendly fire, what Hamas’s goals behind the attack were, etc etc were still open questions. The world quite reasonably stopped focusing on these things because Israel kept one-upping themselves in genociding Gazans, but that had the side effect of cementing the Israeli narrative on them as reality in the minds of most pro-Palestinian Westerners. What I’m saying is: Condemning terror that happened during the attack and condemning the attack itself are a different things, and one of them invalidates many legitimate acts of resistance.

I mean he helped create the Jewish state. That makes him a bad person right there.

Why are they talking about this like it’s a good thing? It’s one of the reasons they’re hemorrhaging voters. I mean it goes to show that I’ve never heard of this and Republicans are still whining about immigration like it’s the “worst” it’s been in decades. And what the fuck is this guy thinking weren’t border walls supposed to be bad what the fuck happened to Democrats these past two years?

Edit: Finally finished the video. If you’d come from the future to tell me about this stuff two years ago I’d have laughed at you. Say goodbye to Latino votes.

I guess I just don’t have enough faith in democrat voters to do anything like this in large enough numbers, but I hope for the sake of the rest of the world that they do.

I mean okay but that’s how it reads like, especially because that myth is still alive and well.

Yeah you’re making that statement but it’s not true. Their acceleration relative to an inertial reference frame is g. That’s what the law of universal gravitation says, I have no idea where you’re getting that stuff from.

What legitimacy do you see in Israeli Apartheid? Because, long story short, that’s what the Israeli side is selling.

Yes but that’s the implication when you say “the terririst attack that killed 1200 young Israelis”.

Static friction causes that result because it matches the force it’s resisting. Gravity doesn’t do that, so while the total vector will still be pointing away from the ball, it will point away from it with a slightly smaller magnitude.
