  1. One perspective is after the enlightenment imagine Sisyphus happy. https://medium.com/@mustaphahitani/camus-suicide-and-imagining-sisyphus-happy-bec124dad750
  2. Richard David Precht German star philosopher quite progressive. High level rhetorical skills.
  3. I agree and am on that team too. The right answers to almost all questions seem to be: 1. It's complicated 2. I don't know

  5. Well from the European perception they are shockingly different people. Maybe britsh people might be an exception.
  6. @Opo Funny how I could forget the answer to this question. It's so true.
  7. If the riots are severe so lives are in danger and people in the city feel like they need your help to defend themselves, I can accept it. Specially when the police doesn't do anything about it. On the other hand if some left wing rioters just burn some garbage on the street for a while then no. It depends on the situation.
  8. Have a better society so quality people want to do the job.

  13. Well USA is quite Exceptional (meaning different than others). That's their tradition. Nothing new here. As long as he tries to end the forever wars it's not the worst thing in the world I guess.
  14. I guess they know what is going on on the street. He was capitulating he was giving himself in. I would have assumed that myself I guess. You can guess who is a threat and who is not by his behaviour.
  15. I guess because the boy does not want to kill the police but supports them plus the boy tries to do the job that the cops are not allowed to do Imho.
  16. Ideally the cops would do their job and don't allow lawlessness and violent riots. Seems to be to idealistic and utopian nowadays. If cops don't do it people may do it.
  17. Question: where was the police? Or aren't they allowed to do their job against violent rioters?
