While this number does not include self-inflicted gunshots (IE Suicides)
Disingenuous argument. So you are concerned about people killing themselves but only if they do it using a doctor?

Complete sideline but another fascinating Twitter drama of the week in the form of a UK wheelchair-bound disability influencer in a video that needs to be seen to be believed
Based on "I had a bit of energy on this day" I guessed that it would be one of those I-dont-feel-like-getting-out-of-bed illnesses that mostly women get, like post-lyme or fibromyalgia, and I was right, although the one she has in particular (FNSD) I did not know. Although she usually just calls it "chronic illness" for some reason. Reference video.

I can justify the murder of millions if my reason is “good enough”.
Can't you always do that anyway? Aside from hypothetical "no-killing-ever-ever" systems, the ones that really exist and are widely adopted always have killing exceptions, and they all revert to some kind of consequentialist decision process in sufficiently unusual circumstances (what is most virtuous? what violates the rules the least?).
I don't know, seems to me that all the talk about ethics is just wankery, that in the end it has to all be broadly isomorph.

It's both. Progressivism would be about recognizing gay marriage and women priests. There's really no dobut that the catholic church is pro immgration except in the minds of some online tradcaths that have projected their policy wishes on an organization because they like their buildings.

Catholic conservatives write two books (one even got 56 reviews on Amazon!) and go on the speaking circuit. Catholic conservatives get a majority on the Supreme Court and... devolve abortion to the states. There are no fewer abortions than before, no effective change. By some measures abortion figures actually rose, breaking a decade-long downtrend. Every ideology is doing something substantial and overt to advance their goals but the Catholic conservatives.
Catholic big wins are in immigration, especially in europe they have succeeded in greatly increasing immigration as well as legalizing existing illegal immigrants.

There are reasons for some of those and the entire population of that place is between one and two million people so coincidences are easier to swallow.

Is forbidden anime fitting in with the normies in 2026? I'm not so sure. I think it's closer to "we don't have a TV at home, we all read books after dinner together" in the 90s.

The social contract existed because children started working in the field at 8, granpa died 10 years younger and you all lived in the same house. It broke because there are things that we like more, like having technology, mass scholarization, living longer and moving out.

Is anyone keeping track anywhere? Is there a graph? Does it say anywhere which ships get through every day and who they work for? Did you check this yourself?

It doesn't matter if you think nations should exist or not. You are not getting away from help thy neighbor, your choices are one world order or letting everyone who wants in. You quote Acts 17:26, I raise you Acts 17:27: "God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us"

To be honest, I don't really disagree with you. Open borders ideology is really downstream of christianity in general, rather than just catholicism. What we really need is western shintoism.

As a datapoint to this, Spain recently legalized between 500000 and a million illegal immigrants thanks to lobbying by the catholic church.

I think it takes hundreds of hours, but those hours are themselves easy, unlike math
More like one or two thousand for each language.

Sex-positive feminism never extended all the way to accept male sexuality, it's this weird thing where it's empowering to be a sex worker but evil to be a client. There used to be non-feminist sex-positive progressives but they all disappeared when SJW/wokes took over 10+ years ago.

I was talking about europe not the us, still I congratulate myself on remembering the 2 weeks timespan correctly. The "moderate the tones" thing, it's not so much that they got near instant backlash over retaliating, what I'm saying is that they realizedd they have no constituency left going forward, it logically doesn't exist. If you don't believe me look at the +65 lines and the Democrats lines on that survey: what do you think it's going to happen when the 65+ die and the Democrats have power? And this is the US, the country that is going to be most favorable to israel going forward.

There's a latam conspiracy theory that the IDF is scouting for a plan b settlement in western argentina. Maybe that's why Peter Thiel is looking to get an argentinian citizenship, he's trying to get on the ground floor of Neo Jerusalem 2.

The Israelis had a ton of international support after 10/7,
But they didn't. There were pro-palestine protests two weeks after 10/7, before Israel had even started to really move on Gaza. I think that was actually the wake up call for Israel, the reason they are acting like they are, they realized that europe is rapidly islamizing and they need to go now.
It's fantastic, isn't it? Medicine and car safety getting so far. I don't think I would have guessed correctly the order of magnitude of people who die in car accidents in germany.
