Revolution is the sense you used it was a sudden, abrupt change of political order often brought up by force. In this context we an use the french Revolution and the Russian revolution to inform our understanding. 1947 was not by any stretch a with that meaning. It was a constitutional process...
For me the scandal exposed that free speach is contingent on a consensus - consensus of the major influencial groups of a society. Where that consensus cracks apart like we see in USA free speach becomes a victim or a tool for one part of that narrative to block the other out. This is what...
Sorry about not tagging some people. The thread is for everybody to discuss free speach. A subject that I think we need to revisit given the recent events. And accept my apology @dBSPL for not tagging you. I just tagged members who came up in my mind in no order but based on my recent...
Is there a inverse correlation with free speach, liberties and stability/security of state? Meaning more the threat to the stability of a state the space for free speach reduces. If this is the case should we not look at the circumstances countries are in before we begin to pontificate and...
What is remarkable and for me of enourmous satisfaction is the ever increasing soft power of Turkey that really is displacing Saudi, American and Indian influences. Series like Ertugrul are priming a entire generation of Pakistani's to Turkophiles. I increasing see the Ertrugul hats and that Y...

On another note today I saw three HGV's with Turkish plates on three differant occasions in my city which is in North of England. Looks like Turkish economy is clawing it's way to far corners of Europe.
I would agree with you. It offers high % protection although the minus 70 is a issue but it can be resolved by having a efficient supply chain and distribution hubs. My mum got a Pfizer jab and she entirely happy with it. Her annual winter flu jab causes more secondat effects like temperature...

Now this is the real issue. Apparently 45% of Republicans support the storming of the Capitol building. When you referance that with 47% vote Trump got it tells us USA is in for shaky few years. Trump muzzled or unmuzzled.
