Though realistically, you would not be able to convert to Judaism tomorrow unless you have already been preparing for quite a while; a year or more is standard.

1. Yes, because conversion to Judaism involves joining the Jewish people.

An indigenous people can accept new members, who then partake of that indigeneity.

2. If he's actually Jewish (as in part of the Jewish people as per the traditions of such)? Of course.

In 2000, the Democrats were the incumbent party and the Republicans the challengers, so Gore was represented in blue and Bush II in red. When the election outcome dragged on and on and on for weeks, the teeming masses & media alike got so used to red for Democrat and blue for Republican it stuck.

So what do you do with those who are a menace to everyone else, if you oppose killing them *and* oppose locking them up?

That's fine, since races don't have the standing to be indigenous anyway. Peoples, connected primarily by cultural factors such as language, customs, or religion, do.

I see them less an minions and more as cultists, but otherwise agreed.

I'm not a fan of DSA.

But they are better than Trump or Andrew Cuomo, so...

Wait, there's someone *surprised* that Andrew Tate is a misogynist with double standards?

(Yes, yes, I know, this is arguably overly charitable because so much worse can be said about him. But this is the part relevant to the current discussion.)

This is correct.

Now we just need a Congress that will impeach him and his cronies so that his successor (ideally Pelosi) can have the justice department prosecute him for said acts on that basis.

It's a combination. Federalism, separation of powers, *and* guns (or whatever weaponry) owned by people not on the government's payroll.

"Everyone's an ally until it costs them something." is a phrase I keep thinking about.

I said it back when the wizard game came out a few years back. How people squirmed to justify giving their money to bad people.

It feels like people are all about supporting the left until push comes to shove.

Yeah, that's the sort of thing that "if not worse" was meant to include.

a throw-down gun Definition of a throw-down gun in the Idioms Dictionary by The Free Dictionary

Consider that I initially heard the term "throw-down gun" from a police officer.

I think that suspicion of the police is only sensible.

Admittedly, RFK is doing his very best to make it so that firearms are no longer the leading cause of death of children in this country...

No, I think he's right here.

Albeit about a comparison to actual fascists (the sort that Tolkien was familiar with), not vaguely right-wing people that some activist doesn't like.

Given when Lord of the Rings was written and by whom, that may not be coincidental.

Nah, they always had that confidence. If they didn't, they would try to learn more and not be so ignorant and ill-informed.

What the internet actually gave them is the ability to display that confidence to everyone.

That is a really good question.

Why *isn't* Greenpeace banned?

Or at least ignored when they push for environmentally unfriendly measures like preferring fossil fuels to nuclear plants?

It's almost like the costs involved in running social media naturally necessitate a certain type of toxic personality to raise the funds.

How I see it:

The objective of local police departments is to protect and serve, arrest actual criminals.

ICE is comprised of criminals committing violent & anti-Constititional acts against innocent people.

THEREFORE: Local police should be present and arresting ICE thugs for their CRIMINAL acts.

Is this before or after subtracting the added taxes that will be needed to pay for it?

Why do you think it's the opposite? Overcompensating for the misconception you described.

He was definitely entitled to oppose further white settlement in the Black Hills. But if he had tried to completely end all white settlement in the United States, then he would have been no more in the right to do so than those who kicked out Palestinians in 1948.

True; technically the areas that are currently Arab do not perfectly line up with "the Middle East".

But my point remains: Those areas, other than Arabia itself, being Arab is due to colonialism during the Middle Ages, and thus full decolonialism would mean for them to stop being Arab.
