ASE was great, I think it was possible to filter servers by country, and I think I used to find new servers and players from my country to play with.

And are also the leading countries promoting cleaner alternatives to all human activites.

What you're missing is that if underdeveloped countries were even capable of reaching the same stage of development we and East Asian countries enjoy, they would contribute as much, and that is actually their goal.

>What would 1.2 billion refugees do? Stay in their countries and improve them just like Westerners do?

There are lots of components of "non-war stuff" that originated from military R&D, and probably would appear much later if it wasn't for the Defense Budget.

Le Corbusier's legacy and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

>but hate speech (in the form of blatant transphobia)

I really hope you Red Army wannabes one day get what you deserve. You think you are the defender of the weak but you openly threaten someone's livelihood because one doesn't follow the new liberal gospel.

It's a shame ESR can't say whatever he wants because he's genuinely afraid.

And regarding "transphobia" lol. lmao.

> and are overtly hostile to Judaism, as prescribed by their religion.

What does the Talmud say about the Goyim?

>is it really so wrong for a nation to implement laws to preserve its culture, particularly when it's people constitute a tiny fraction of the global population

It's ok, natural and healthy for Israel, but not for the rest of the world, where that is nationalism and equates to ideologies of the 1930s.

You don't even have to look at old maps that much, when as in this case a great part of the population didn't migrate elsewhere.

Just look at the ethnic/linguistic distributions in the area.

This would not work that well for example, German population in territories lost during WW I, afaik.

> They view Ukraine as part of Russia

And it is. So is Transcarpathia (Zakarpattia Oblast) part of Hungary, and other parts or Ukraine that should belong to Romania and even some to Poland.

Their current borders are an accident that should have long been solved diplomatically, but alas here we are.

>Danger is, if Putin can portray this as west vs Russia, he could start enlisting people from far-left and far-right.

The danger was these maneuvers that even in the Bush era, people recognized they would be deemed unacceptable by Russia.

And the whole handling of the relations with Ukraine since the events of 2014.

This situation is far more complex than "Kremlin man bad".

Unfortunately the people who will pay for these are not diplomats or the big interests that played this situation as a game, it will be the average Ukrainian who see their country torn apart, and in a lesser extent the average Russian, severely affected by sanctions.

Hispanic is just a bad name for the category as it is not a race as a descendent of portuguese or spanish, or any other european people, with no intermixture with native americans, or vice-versa, are both hispanics.

Hence why Americans have to distinguish between white or non-white hispanics.

>given what this country has done on social media to control foreign elections

What has Russian done that

a) Directly affects the results, such as hacking any system where electronic vote is possible.

b) Any kind of propaganda or lobbying that any other country such as the USA, England or Israel don't also engage to make public opinion more sympathetic to them.

Even if you don't use F# directly, you might apply something you learned when reasoning about any problem, or coming up with more elegant solutions.

Also, having the discipline to study to improve your skills, will most definitely be beneficial in other spheres of your life.
