0·2 months agoPeople talk a lot about the genericisation of brand names, but the branding of generic terms like this really annoys me.
I’ll use the example I first noticed. A few years ago, the Conservative government was under criticism for the minimum wage being well under a living wage. In response, they brought in the National Living Wage, which was an increase to the minimum wage, but still under the actual living wage. However, because of the branding, it makes criticising it for not meeting the actual living wage more difficult, as you have to explain the difference between the two, and as the saying goes, “if you’re explaining, you’re losing”.
They’re against anyone else indoctrinating children.
I only ever read one, and all I remember of that was some kids being chased into a church by some demons, who then burn it down to get to them. The kids are put on trial for “forcing” the demons to burn the church, and they have to convince their lawyer to to throw the case because he’ll be executed if he wins.
They’re both problems.
Never heard of it. It’s difficult to know how much of the difference is the actual occurrence and how much is the reporting of it.
Don’t all countries have this problem?
It’s in the last line of their comment:
But I also get worried that sometimes communies attack their closest allies for being imperfect harder than enemies actively working against their interests.
Vague memory, but on looking it up, it’s even worse
Yeah. Two civilians dead for every one militant is fairly typical for asymmetric warfare.
This says 37 dead, of whom Hezbollah have stated 31 were their fighters.
Even if you don’t get an answer, it’s good to keep at it long enough that it’s obvious they’re avoiding it.
