In short, no. Not at least outside of a vast geological timeframe. Antarctica was once habitable around 100 million years ago, and that was only because it was part of a supercontinent located much further north than its current location.

Even if the earth warmed enough to melt the ice at the poles, its location would basically make it impossible to maintain a complex ecology suitable to life. The light cycle of roughly 24 hours of light in the summer and 24 hours of darkness in the winter would preclude the needed agriculture requirements needed to sustain any meaningful population.

What doesn't kill you...... makes you fascist?

It's because he's attempting to utilize the fact that America was and potentially still is an ethno-state to lessen the culpability of the Israeli ethno-state.

While modern America uses systemic racism to establish an ethnic hierarchy, unlike Israel it doesn't expressly by law prohibit the movement or upward mobility of different ethnicities. Even if it did, that fact would not lessen the culpability of another state doing the same.

Context and nuance is important.

Race isn't actually a thing, it's a categorical method of sorting ethnicities into groups based on variable forms of bigotry.

For the vast majority of its history absolutely. It wasn't until the civil rights movement where that was even somewhat debatable.

Eh, for me that would be too information dense. I'd drift off and have to back play it for context.

For really anything like geopolitics, economics, or philosophy I usually have to have a book in my hands.

considering Israel is more ethnically diverse

Apartheid South Africa was ethnically diverse...... Still an ethno-state.

Ethno-states aren't defined as lacking diversity, they are defined by an ethnic creating and maintaining a dominant hierarchy of that diversity.

Gosh why do people hate the Jews so much. 🫤

The problem with ethno-states is that it makes it super easy for people like yourself to conflate ethnicity with nationality.

People don't hate the Jews, people hate ethno-states who are currently committing a genocide. Many of these people who hate the state of Israel for their genocide are Jews themselves.

I get how someone can sit through and enjoy a marvel movie alright. But how in the hell can someone sit down for hours to read the book equivalent? Its so much more excrutiating to do.

Audiobooks my dude, they are fantastic for burning through literary slop. It's nice to have stuff like the hourus heresy for stuff like yard work or chores, something where it doesn't really matter if you're paying attention or if you hear everything. So if you miss something you don't really feel the need to rewind it or feel lost in the overall story.

Despite the seeming hostility and intense disagreement here I don't hold anything against you.

Same, be safe, have a good weekend.

has the same root cause

Oh for sure

Lots of people in rural areas still do. Places where cable companies don't offer service because it's not profitable.
