Israel has demographics problem. Palestinians would outbirth them if not for the orthodox Jews, who breed like rabbits. Not sure about the policies of Israel, but they are aware of this threat, and they are struggle with this since the foundation of the Jewish state. For their luck they got Jewish immigrants from the ex-commie states after 1990, but it is unlikely they'll get more from anywhere in the future, so they have to face the problem locally.
Getting more lands would mean getting more goyim which would tip the current balance of ethnicities. Besides more Muslims (since they would gain more Muslims) means security threat, they would gain more such people whom they want to keep out, more fundamentalists and Jihadists.
While there is the dream of Greater Israel, the reality is that it's a pipe dream.

It was for american imperialism, while assad family is not the greatest thing in the world, its hardly justifiable to stir shit up in their land.

Before AKP we had several "offers" to intervene in syria, some offers were from muslim brotherhood and some were from Türkmens themselves, needless to say we didn't intervene, too much balkanization and destablized borders would eventually affect us, but current party needs to divert the attention to foreign politics and make neo ottomanist fools happy. That's why erdo insisting so much in syrian conflict.

You can also listen what the hungarian say, israel by nature is extremely revisionist state, their "promised lands" includes some parts of southern Turkey, so I would beware, but right now it's just a far future thing.

>Israel has demographics problem. Palestinians would outbirth them if not for the orthodox Jews, who breed like rabbits.

Considering that Arab demographic pool is unlimited (because not only local Palestinians matter, but neighbors), Israel would lose demographic race even if they'll be on par with Arabs, just because Middle East is filled with Arabs anyway.

So, only solution for them are deportations, so they slowly trying to drive Palestinians away. And this works, at least for now.

But compared to other countries, Israel has pretty healthy demographics even without orthodoxes (i.e. non-declining).

Ok. I understand now.
I think it's easy to hide somewhere a lighter somewhere. But that's modern technology. How did they do it previously when even no matches existed?
There are options ofc, a magnifying glass conveniently placed where the sun can shine through, but when they do this process? But doing it with firesteel and sparks isn't that easy, or making friction fire, that would have been noticed. Well, the easiest to light a fire is with another fire. So I'd assume a burning candle must be somewhere.
What material that could be?

>>40934
>I think it's easy to hide somewhere a lighter somewhere. But that's modern technology. How did they do it previously when even no matches existed?

Using an oil lamp or similar thing. They can be pretty compact and small.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Fire
>The ceremony was marred in 2002 when a disagreement between the Armenian and Greek bishops over who should emerge first with the Holy Fire led to a struggle between the factions. In the course of the scuffle, the Greek Patriarch twice blew the Armenian's candle out, forcing him to reignite his "Holy Fire" using a cigarette lighter, while the Greek Patriarch was despoiled of one of his shoes. In the end the Israeli Police entered the premises to restore order.

Yeah, they could place an oil lamp somewhere hidden, maybe there's some secret shelf so it don't lit the room.

There are plenty of stories about that fire and that place overall, they often pretty ebin, just because these guys (Greeks and Armenians) are funny people by themselves.

One story in Russian internet (with several links to different books, but without easy googlable sources) says that in 18th century, after long dispute and conflict with Greeks, Armenians lost and were forced to eat human feces from large stone container near that church:

Some sources speculate that combination of boric and sulfuric acids with specific cloth gives same effect - low-temperature flame with blue or green color.

Heh. The true believers of the past of any faith went through such ordeals for their fate it's unbelievable.

So many things aren't digitalized yet. Or don't have a translations to different languages.

I'm also thinking about alcohol, those also burns with bluish flames. But spirits are fairly new inventions.

>I would appreciate if the retarded hungarian wouldn't shit up this thread
He is a mod here, so you're posting in the wrong place. But you're right about one thing, he is a fucking retard.

While the effects on the economy will last until at least 2025, we are already seeing the worst of it. We are expected to bounce back next year and follow that with smaller gains the following years, China is expected to have their economy go up something like 8% next year.

Small and medium business were always going to die at some point, it's the way the world was heading, this just accelerates it but even then it's never going to get rid of it completely and we are also seeing growing interests in small niche markets(an interesting occurrence from over here, West End the biggest brewer in my state has closed down due to the competition from smaller craft beers).

UBI is something that should happen but even if it did it would not for a while to come. Most people are still working, until automation reaches a point where it takes so many jobs that it just cannot be ignored then it will be ignored. Once it reaches that point we just have to see how the governments of the world manage to bring business under their heel in order to actually implement something like this, the money has to come from somewhere. Otherwise we could end up with a South Africa situation. There won't be such a caveat, but if somebody is on UBI most likely they won't be able to afford a property anyway and the government will have to provide cheap housing for these UBI masses.

Im not saying this to be abrasive but it's nonsense and wishful thinking to have this idea that things are going to get back to normal. It's not. This is the new normal. It's going to get way worse.

Communitarianism is the legal and spiritual system set in place to replace the old system. It's vital to know about communitarianism and how it works. In the commonwealth it's been in to place since 2010 but this ideology goes back longer.

Mark windows is a brilliant researcher I think, well worth listening to him

I will also upload the anti communitarian manifesto, its an excellent book laying it all out.

Do you eat the leaves of the amaranth?
>Which of them do you eat?
To be honest I rarely eat any of them. Many edible weed, or maybe I should write herb, we have around here, not just in gardens but growing wild all about. But I don't know them, well only a couple, like the nettle or dandelion. They taste nothing, like grass basically so I pass on. They could be prepared into meals, cooked, seasoned, we just don't bother. Mom sometimes makes nettle soup, pottage tho, seasoned with garlic (and salt and stuff). Also nettle is good for tea. Not tasty tea.
So this leaves mint and lemon balm to consume, again as tea. Although on rare occasion I chew on a mint leaf or two.

>>40751
>Do you eat the leaves of the amaranth?
The smallest branches with leaves on them, but not raw.
>They taste nothing, like grass basically so I pass on
I don't find these two any worse than other salad items, so they're free efortless food.

Might be because of the extremely harsh taxation measures during the mining period.

20% isnt that much compared to the tax levels of today

>20% isnt that much compared to the tax levels of today
They didn't know the tax levels of today, just the tax levels of the 1700s, and taxation in the mining zone was more strictly enforced than the norm in the age. Insufficient quotas were filled through confiscations. Gold could only flow through a few routes (e.g. there was a potential river-based export route but it was banned). It was not a free area but tightly regulated. Residents in the diamond zone were treated even more despotically, goods and persons could only enter it through military checkpoints. The goods received extra taxation and individuals were forbidden from residing without a defined profession, as a matter of policy anyone not related to mining was unwelcome. Over time the Crown's grip tightened until it made diamond mining into its monopoly. Naturally there was a reaction which developed into nativistic sentiment and a revolutionary conspiracy. Maybe the independent mindset also comes from this.

I think he is wrong and I will tell you why that is.

In his paper on plagues he wasn't just wrong on one thing, it was pretty much the whole paper just telling straight up lies.

The black plague wasn't caused by burning coal releasing mercury. People weren't using coal to heat their homes 800 years ago. What was happening 800 years ago was a solar minimum causing temperatures to drop, causing widespread crop failures and vulcano eruptions making it even worse.

It's the same thing with polio, aajonus claims it's the tinned cans causing it, whilst completely ignoring DDT.

What aajonus were spouting and drake isn't science. Science is honesty, objectivity and logical reasoning.

How would aajonus explain the Antonine plague? Plague of justinian? Perhaps these bloody romans were burning coal too.

My point is, if a person deliberately lies about something, you can be sure they will lie about other things aswell to suit their agenda.

>>40036
I'm not a professional in this field, so I won't pretend to be one/argue for or against Aajonus here. I would generally lean towards the Solar Minimum being the reasoning for these specific plagues too.
>My point is, if a person deliberately lies about something, you can be sure they will lie about other things aswell to suit their agenda.
This is a begging the question fallacy (assuming they're deliberately lying about this and deliberately ignoring DDT) and an appeal to association fallacy (if they lie about one thing they'll likely lie about other things; no analysis was done of everything else here). Again all of this comes from Aajonus, and he was fairly new to Aajonus's works at that. Rejecting years of scholarship and a development of epistemology, theology, and political solutions as false just due to a vague association with Aajonus's theory regarding historical plagues without actually looking into them and refuting them is extremely dishonest, especially as I know you're a novice regarding theology.
