This isn't correct. But it doesn't really matter.
Bad people use the belief system of others or their misery to carry out their agendas.
They tap into the human condition and manipulate.
The exact same thing is happening to City now. Other fans have been weaponised very effectively with no proof.
Same way belief systems or unhappiness is weaponised.
Belief systems pretty much target unhappy people and promise a future that cannot be justified. Belief systems are mind abuse.

We've gone from European God-Kings and the Holy Roman Empire to liberal democracy through the renaissance, the French revolution, the Bolshevik revolution, fascism, world war etc. These are very different social orders and I don't believe that the people who emerged shaped these systems in complete isolation. People at key moments shape history but they are not independent actors, they are the products of their time. 1930's Germany was ripe for fascism. The USA has always had an isolationist tendency and as US Capital struggles vis a via China and the tiger economies, it was going to come to the fore again.

Manchester City are caught up in geopolitics. The British establishment is a strong advocate of liberal democracy which is given extra gravitas by the weight of British history. Our footballing rivals have been enabled by support from the liberal establishment who have certain political prejudices that make them a natural opponent of Emirati MCFC.

Yes, it possibly would. But it wouldn't stop you from dying.
I think it is more accurate to state that in a plane crash situation; most folk, religious or non-religeous, would think of their loved ones above any belief system.
I pray I never find out ;)

Clearly either not read, or not understood, Wittgenstein in the Philosophical Investigations / On Certainty - Descartes and most of western epistemology is based on a category error. Stuff does exist, no matter how belligerent you are.

Wittgenstein's idea of category error towards Descartes is pointless. At best he's not even trying to answer the same question and at worst he's playing a language game.

Then post in the relevant threads, not sure why a thread which people come to for 115 general chat or updates is being used as a youth club. Very odd.

You do know because we had this exact same conversation 24 hours ago and I'll tell you the exact same thing and we can end up with the exact same solution which is to DM Ric if you're that bothered.
