- Ethnicity totally can be part of an identity, but that doesn't mean you have to hate anyone.
- Don't misunderstand "closing off borders". Making the people stay is not okay. Not letting the people that left back is also not okay. Not letting in a different ethnicity? Arguably racist, but I wouldn't count not letting them into your country as oppression. I'm a christian, so I can't visit Mecca, yet I don't feel oppressed.
- That's why I said "long established" and that's why I pointed out that those aren't many. I don't think the violence you'd have to use to establish an ethnostate is in any way acceptable. If the ethnostate already stands though, you may use certain tools to preserve it, which are not many and are usually "not enough".
My take wasn't that ethnostates are good, but that they are not inherently bad either, it's just the tools usually used to establish and preserve them that we must condemn.
Nuh-uh. Organic/long established ethnostates may be frowned upon, but if they close off their borders to preserve their identity, that's their right, since I belive in the self-determination of peoples.
It is arguable though, whether these even exist right now, or are there only nation-states and some wannabe ethnostates.
Trying to violently establish an ethnostate is of course something I cannot agree with.
brakeng bad refermense
Been using Firefox for what I think is 2 years now, haven't had any major problems as far as I recall.
Sadly it was torn down once it's enclave status ceased, but if you want to see how it could have looked like from the inside Stray has a very similar atmosphere.
So let's assume it's true, but isn't a whole industry voting one way a bit odd? Doesn't it speak of broader issues?

Look I'm not from america, but if someone told me I'm probably voting X because I work Y I'd get pissed no matter if they're right or wrong.

Some parts of these articles are always so weird for me. It's not that I disagree or don't understand the point, but that it's always such a stupid part where they say "...now then, Trump said we're X and Y, now this actually isn't true, because in fact, he is." and I can't help but very silently yell to myself "my brother in Christ you are yet to prove your point in a logically sound way". I mean I know that he is and he acts like people other than him are, but it shouldn't be assumed I have that knowledge.
I think it's just bad writing from the journalists' part, that's all.
True that may be, however anyone with the capacity to reason should have been aware that this may not be the appropriate response to such an offense, especially with their future goals in mind. Someone bestowed with such an ability should also understand, that telling people about it is itself not the brightest idea, especially if one does it honestly. The question remaineth: is she an imbecile? (yep i head some fun with this)
I heard it but I never had an idea what it meant, so I looked it up. NEET means they aren't in education and don't have a job employment.
