Unfortunately conservatism as an ideology has been co-opted by antisocial elements. We’re a long way from Edmund Burke. Would “classical liberal” fit you better?

I’ll take it!

Wilhoit’s law proven right yet again:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Quoting Zhukov in a thread relating to Hungarian dysfunction, really? Why not see what Pol Pot thought about ophthalmology?

Edit: downvoters may want to educate themselves on what Zhukov was up to in 1956.

Is there a German word for “an endorsement that has a net negative effect”?

So would his constituents, if they could read.

It’s common? Can you name a single other example where a head of state personally made the decision despite most of the population disagreeing and not having asked for it in the first place?

In any case that doesn’t give that country of buffoons permission to change the name for everybody else. Wikipedia belongs to everyone.

We’re already seeing it on such mundane pages as that for the Gulf of Mexico, which has MAGAs complaining on the Talk page as though their clown show of a country were the only one on earth and should get to unilaterally name international bodies of water.

A bit under 5 CAD for a dozen at my usual grocery (29 US cents per egg). Maybe that’s why Americans want to invade us.

The US never recognized the ICC. They even reserve the right to invade the Nettherlands to free any detained Americans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_International_Criminal_Court#American_Service-Members’_Protection_Act

On Sunday, Waltz added that many Canadians “do not like the last 10 years of liberal, progressive governance in Trudeau.”

Part of me welcomes this assclown’s idiocy because every dumbass statement like this drops our Conservatives’ polling results by 1 point (our election has to be before Oct 20). Conservatives had a massive lead but have been tanking hard since the inauguration as people realize how much of a disaster a MAGA-adjacent government would be for us.

If they build a statue of him in Kyiv they can buy as much delay as they need.

The EU doesn’t include the UK, Canada, Norway, or Turkey. It isn’t really a good NATO substitute.

I have one Serbian friend who lives in a small town there and has been keeping me up to date on this. There are big marches every weekend and smaller ones every day, especially in the four university cities (Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis and Kragujevac). The particularly interesting (to me) point that he raised is how much respect and support Serbs are getting from neighbouring countries, which, if you know anything about the Balkans, is truly remarkable. If they can pull this off it may have positive repercussions not only in Serbia but in the whole region.
