My understanding is that American Jews are actually quite divided on the subject. Evangeical Christians are more lopsided on the issue than Jews themselves.

It's not obviously, the standards are set by euro nations. But iirc there are arab nations that could be apart of it, but boycott it because Israel is involved and they refuse to bare them. Go figure.

It's actually just a singing competition put together by a number of broadcasters who are apart of a broadcasters union. The title is marketing more than anything.

The argument is that ant colonies are better understood as organisms themselves with the individuals acting more like digits of the single organism.

there is a reason it works. it requires two step thinking, something people seem to often fail.

Personally I'm much more likely to engage with and be disappointed with Contra because I was actually a fan of hers, which cannot be said of Vaush. Contrapoints used to hold a special and high place in online left queer spaces that Vaush obviously never held.

I can almost guarantee you that every person that instantly disconnected felt utter disgust due to the obvious racism emanating from the interviewer, and weren't NK secret agent coders.

I always thought of these things as inherited lands or businesses not for profit but a desire to do whatever they're doing. I assume the Picard family has ran and managed this vineyard for generations, and it doesn't generate profit anymore. It just makes wine for the love of it, same with Siskos father's restaurant. I do think it's a bit of a contradiction. But maybe the invention of unlimited energy and FTL made this kind of thing far less important. Anyone could find a place to setup a vineyard with a bit of work.

No, it's asking you to apply your theory to practice. Take from the theoretical and apply it to history and reality.

Yes, uncritically good. It's a pretty simple morality play, N'avi and any humans who are on their side good, Colonizers and anyone who helps them bad. At best you feel some sympathy for the mains villains because they aren't on the right side, they just haven't seen it yet.

They kill the colonizers attacking them down to the man. The whales and squids fight back and it's pretty satisfying to see whales fuck up giant whaling vessels.

Jake sort of actively rejects that role and just wants to live with his family in peace. The colonizers push him into self defense because they won't stop exploiting.
