Magnetism is connected to special relativity, so you are correct, witchcraft.

I'm happy to see that now you agree that "dictatorship of the majority" is a feature of democracy not socialism. If it is "worse" under social democracy than the neoliberal one depends on the definition of "worse". Let's however not go there, few paragraphs of text is hardly enough to explain or understand more complex topics. And I hate using the phone for long conversations. Have a nice day.

Again, "dictatorship of the majority", is an issue of democracy. Thus, it is a problem present in the social democracy as well as the neoliberal democracy. It has nothing to do with socialism as it has nothing to do with neoliberalism. And really? "public ownership of the means of production" That is a non-market socialism. Nobody sane wants that in this century.

The only issue for the union is how to secure an equal bonus for everyone. Of course, this is an ideal scenario. In many cases of ineffective unions, you are right. 2/2

Not with unions. For them it is not a zero sum game. The company pays the bill and you must also consider that it is not an entirely monetary problem. For somebody to have a free day on a religious holiday is worth more than a free day. So actually unions seek exactly this type of action. At the same time it makes sense also from the company's perspective. Because that free day has more of a value for employee than for the company, so the company has better bargaining power. 1/2

Then let's talk about social democracy. Political and economical system that more or less most of Europe has. My main issue with your argument is that you attribute the problem, also known as “dictatorship of the majority”, to socialism, while it is an issue of democracy. Socialism aspires to social justice, while democracy is a form of government. Put simply, democracy is the means, whereas socialism is the goal.

First, not every union member votes on every decision. Second, during negotiations about the new collective agreement only union leadership takes decisions. So concerning your question, yes they are. I understand what you are trying to say. But unions don't follow the zero sum game. Ideally they try to make every employee's life easier and more bearable.

The market one. Any form of non-market socialism is a utopian philosophy that has never worked and never will. Thus there is no point in discussing it, except perhaps in academic circles.

I wonder if you are trying to misinterpret socialism intentionally, or you honestly believe this is how socialism works. If the latter, I can help you understand what socialism is about.

It's in the comments of that video. She marks the bottom card with one hair. By dealing with bottom cards, thus the gambling reference, she marks the inserted card. They even smile at each other at 2:21 when she is doing it. She also slows the card dealing a bit when doing it. Still, she fools the audience, including me of course. :)

Most of them came willingly to Ukraine. They came to kill, rape, rob, conquer, destroy. They steal children for fuck sake. So yeh, they are human and have their rights. But I will fucking celebrate every single dead ruscist.

As a fellow physicist I agree, although I'm a bit late 😄.

My children are true winners of WWII. Their grandfather would be dead long before they were born, if WWII had been lost. So no, wars have winners. The post is an overly simplistic way to look at war.

I know a very intelligent and sensible russian that will tell you in a sad voice that "we must finish what we started". So I don't know, intelligence is not enough, people can be manipulated.

WWI could be perhaps resolved by talking. WWII no focking way. If one side wants genocide, what would you settle on? Half genocide? In that case war is definitely a solution.

Not to trick us, but to test our faith. And don't ask me how I know that.

You don't understand magnets for good reason. Understanding magnets means understanding special theory of relativity (no kidding).

Article 6 in your link: "In the territory of Parties to the conflict, the application of the present Convention shall cease on the general close of military operations." I don't want to defend Isreal's actions in general. But in this one case I think the Geneva convention of civilien protection does not apply. That sad, Israel has definitely many more options that does not involve so many civilians deaths.

Not always. For N=5 they are different, 4 and 6, and for N=11, there is 12. Still, you get upvote for reading replies to your comments. ?
