In the west there are laws about public indecency which legislate what people may wear outside and these rules demand women wear shirts but do not demand the same of men.

In some western countries, there are ones that do not make a distinction

The law covers that also. All visible religious garments are forbidden.

“The law in it’s great magnanimity prohibits poor and rich alike from sleeping under bridges and stealing bread.”.

A law can be applied equally to everyone and still target a specific group of people.

Treat it like a fanfic

Psychopass?

It’s a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. Geneva conventions and the laws of war didn’t exist at the time.

It can’t be that people are organically wanting to talk about a recently released triple A game by an old and relatively beloved game studio. They must be paid actors.

I’m not sure that using the entire QA staff of the world’s largest agglomeration of Dev studios on a single game only qualifies as “not cutting corners”. That’s surely going above and beyond.

Under capitalism, the capitalist class controls the media, and can use their wealth to control the political class.

A democracy can only make choices so far as it’s voters are informed, and when a group controls most sources of information, it can control the democracy as a whole.

I don’t know why, but that’s disgusting

That’s a misrepresentation of old English. Man used to be neutral, and was modified by were and wif respectively for man and woman. Wife comes from woman, not the other way around.

Attraction is a chemical process, long term relationships without respect are doomed to failure

Is paganism not just cosplay? There’s no continuity of tradition for pagan religions, they just picked it up because it was cool a few decades ago.

I can find interesting things in my life without resorting to delusion

But how can you respect someone who legitimately believes in magic?

Still not particularly impressed by someone engaging in magical thinking

Well, you’ve got to get rid of it some way, and while charity might systematically be a problem there are plenty that do genuine good.

If you have any decency, get rid of most of it, preferably to charities or political causes.

That sort of wealth in the hands of a single person is obscene, and spending it on luxury when there are people starving and homeless in the world is the height of immorality.

Foolish if the goal is to hold on to more money than you could ever need in ten lifetimes to pursue the goal of accumulating more from the work of others.

No, it’s more like doctor or engineer where it’s a protected profession that’s criminal to imitate.
