Some parts of Japan, such as Hokkaido, can be considered to be colonized as its native people are the Ainus, not the Yamato people (the Japanese ethnicity).

The Yamato themselves didn’t didn’t exist for 40’000 years. It was during the 4th century BC to the 7th century CE that their main ancestors, the Yayoi and the Toraijin, migrated to Japan and displacd the Joumon people to the North. The latter had been in Japan for a much longer time.

The US is the one that has all the cards but it’s the EU that’s unfair? How does that work?

Also, they have excellent music.

Apart from Denmark. I know only one band from there.

Thank you for your insightful reply.

I also found this: https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/analysis/trumps-politicization-of-the-u-s-marshals-service-is-a-threat-to-our-democracy/

It says that one of the primary functions of the US Marshals Service is to carry out judicial orders, but it reports to the president. This looks like a flaw to me.

Sorry, I’m a foreigner and I don’t understand much. Someone cares to explain? Should the police normally enforce judicial orders and sentences? Why do they not? Is the police personally loyal to Trump?

Nice. In what year(s) did you have your first computer?

I understood the post you are replying to as saying “what will AfD voters do when their party is banned?”.

In the case of the Nazis, we don’t know because their party was never banned. We don’t know what would have happened if the Nazi party had been banned.

I would be interested to know if we have historical cases of far-right parties that could have won the elections but were banned before they had the chance.

A common threat forces people together.

I’ve been incel for years and never hated or blamed women. I was aware of hateful incels but I avoided them.

I wish people would stop generalizing.

Still i’m kind of impressed that I glanced at this name and it felt right to me.

Maybe it’s to avoid tarrifs on European alcohols?

That makes a lot of sense. Until you consider that around Winter solstice, Christians don’t celebrate the resurrection, yhey celebrate the birth. How do you explain that disconnect?

That’s for Spring (rebirth, Easter), not Winter.

Christmas is for Winter, it celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. It came from Saturnalia, probably the most important holiday of Roman society.

Sinogen… this is the stuff Chinese people are made of. That’s how you create Chinese people.

I wish you all the luck. May Turkish democracy prevail!

If you are Jewish or have known Jewish ancestry, Nazi Germany may deny entry. It’s better to check the entry requirements with Nazi authorities in advance.

There might be a reshuffle in geopolitics. Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela, are traditionally allies of Russia and opponents of the US. Something will have to change, I believe.

We might see Armenia align with the US and aforementioned countries, if Turkey stays aligned with Europe. Which will likely be the case, I believe.

China is the wildcard here. I can see them align with either camp.

I think Australia won’t have to choose. They might stay somewhat neutral.

I was so annoyed in 2012 when we were protesting the tuition fee hike in Québec that people were pointing to other provinces or the US for their higher tuition fees, instead of, like, North European countries, and many others, where it’s free.

As a citizen of Canada, this has become relatable.

I think there are no absolutes here. Some women will wait for a long term partner, and a fraction of that group will have children by accident before finding one, and some other women don’t wait for one (especially in a context where men don’t abound), etc. What women do overall is the amalgation of millions of specific biographies concerning unique women.
