By your own share, it only held a "war-like" definition in Middle English. Its original latin etymology and current definition describes the skill of devising/designing/inventing/producing solutions.

"Genius" shares the same root.

When has any modern nation state ever not been a conquered state?
elchangri··on Algeria cuts internet nationwide during the baccalaureat exams
Not really. Involved in exactly 0 wars. Algeria has a non-intervensionism policy and avoids wars. There was a civil war yes, but that’s it.

elchangri··on I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it
1. Free speech generally implies speech in the public discourse, not in private. 2. Giving an order to or threatening someone is not “speech” in the sense that you are disseminating a questionable opinion: it is an action. You are quite literally _doing_ something, not just communicating e.g. don corleone’s offer one can’t refuse.

Sentry solves tangential but different use cases. E.g does not allow you to define custom metrics to e.g. monitor resource utilization

This is analogous to Ok Google / Siri ubiquity. Nobody can escape getting their voice scanned because people nearby have them turned on.
elchangri··on France came to view religion as a threat to national identity
As for the GIA when shit hit the fan it was swiftly infiltrated by the military to stage false flag terrorist attacks, target political opponents within the military and further demonize the Islamic party. The same military that got the green light from the ex-colonizer to stage the coup in the first place.

Then in 1999 after 250,000 people died and the FIS and Islamists’ images were totally destroyed, the government gave the “terrorists” amnesty and cash in exchange for peace. No jail, no criminal record, no legal. proceedings whatsoever. Almost like family.

Most people don’t care about democracy. Even the US who has waged countless wars in its name ironically has like a 55% avg voter turnout.

Why does the platform they’re pushing matter? The west keeps trying to bomb places into democracies but then when the democratic process does not yield desired result, they stage a coup.

Even the anti-islamists were against the coup, which basically says it all.

Look at the Canadian Indian residential school system or the Christian reconquest of Al-Andalus for textbook examples of forced conversions

No one in their right mind living in former french colonies believes France has stopped pulling the strings. Postcolonial Africa (fr) legit has a name: la Françafrique.

Also shouldn’t it be the domestic electorate’s business if it elected the Taliban ? Or are we all of a sudden, against democracy?

All mena countries with more than 5 million muslims are fucked.

And actually yes it was in fact literally the President of France Francois Mitterand himself who gave the green light to the Algerian military to cancel the second round of elections after the Islamic party won the first by a landslide. Civil war ensued and along with it massive emigration towards France.

Do you see a pattern

Tbh this sounds like a nitpick. Prohibition does not have a 100% success rate, to state the obvious. But you really can’t compare a religion where its leader literally orders its members to forcibly convert others, to one where its law forbids it.

“Some religions have adapted to modern times” You mean those on the verge of extinction?
elchangri··on France came to view religion as a threat to national identity
You keep throwing that number around like you didn’t read my first comment.

If the west hadn’t destroyed/pillaged mena region things would be different. In the meantime, def a smart move for most muslims to go to the west and impose themselves. Life is better there, the place is super rich thanks to looted resources and kleptocratic foreign policy. Btw the west fertility rate is unsustainable. Someone’s gotta pay for those taxes! You should be happy

Sorry but you have legit no clue about neither the history nor the geopolitics you’re attempting to talk about.

The Church issued equivalents of fatwas that have literally eradicated entire ethnic groups from the face of the planet. Never heard of a papal bull? Maybe the one that resulted in the largest genocide in the history of the world, to the note of 150 million native indians massacred?

Furthermore people will ask whatever they want, where they want, and there will be debates, and decisions will be made. It really isn’t mr jelliclesfarm who is going to start telling born and raised citizens to go live elsewhere.

The point is none of what you brought forward supports any of your points

Also no, France did not grant citizenship to Algerians in 1947 nor did it ever. Which is…. why there was a war for independence…

“Conquerors of religious wars did not grant citizenship”. Yes the Church indeed in general had a genocidal approach to forced conversions and religious discrimination (see the Americas). Islam prohibits forced conversions and if we were to compare religious empires, then the Ottoman Empire would be by orders of magnitude the most tolerant with regards to religious minorities (compared to e.g French, British, Spanish, Portuguese empires.). Well documented stuff.

Maybe you missed the part where the borders of virtually every muslim country were drawn by the west? The idea that “everyone should go back to their homeland” is laughable coming from the west… What the hell were they doing for centuries on foreign land? Ruining entire civilizations, decimating their peoples, pillaging their lands? Sending them back to the stone age? To then be offended at home by a headscarf?

Sure, if you’re Shia you could go to Lebanon, Irak, Iran… or, you could go somewhere safe.
