Probably before the rest of you.

You aren't: you are trying to defend the silly notion that a group of white people are homogenous even if they have different languages.

You state such a thing (diversity) cannot EVER possibly be true. The OP and I testify otherwise. From lived experience - mine with nothing to do with Switerland (or Canada in case you are guessing).

Consider today then whether the Serbo-Croation war could ever be possible under your model of reality (who would fight who?). Except it was.

I didn't live within 10 000km of Switzerland.

Stop making silly assumptions to narrow the beautiful diversity of the world so as to fit your polemic.

> uh yeah you're going to have a hard time convincing anyone that a country that is majority white isn't homogeneous because multiple languages are spoken

Well, he convinced me. (Largely because I have lived in countries with communities like that).

[Out of curiosity, does my testimony change your mind?]

Really? You didn't find it clever enough to muster a little smile?

The things that bother some people.

I upvoted you, but it is true that for most graduates, a degree is just a ticket to the upper middle class where they will mostly do meetings, email, and office documents.

Sadly, this is true for a lot of engineering jobs too.

Whether they learn anything is irrelevant.

Actually that title belongs to the CCP.

If the purpose of the wealth tax is to lower equality then the correct solution is to tax machines.

>No, largely because of the secret vote and the fact that there is no way anyone can verify how "you" voted after the fact. So you can lie to the thug threatening you with a wrench that you voted for "candidate A" and the thug has no way to know otherwise.

Sadly, the thug also knows this. But what the thug (=ruling party) does know is whether an entire voting district votes for the opposition.

Then they come down hard on the entire district. In all sorts of creative ways.

And you are unable to recognise a metaphor.
