The point of the “moment of aggression” is that there is no way any democratically legitimated power can protect you immediately in the moment of a physical aggression. Unlike an unfair insurance system where you should be able to get legal protection and sue to claim your rights. If the system doesn’t protect one’s rights enough, then one should work on improving it through getting involved in the democratic process. Are they voting? Are they demonstrating? Have they done everything they could to support the politicians that defend their values, or risked themselves to carry the burden of becoming one? Killing people is just going to illegitimate your opinion, and also probably negatively impact the other people who share it too.

Any intervention on society, with a goal to impact it, is political, I don’t know what surprises you there.

You’re right, I should have said “some people” instead.

Same response as the one you already received by someone else for the same question, so I didn’t add to it. https://jlai.lu/post/14533062/12060318

In my country, physical self-defense is relevant to the moment of the aggression and is required to be proportional (which is complicated, I concede). If you later go look for the aggressor to exercise your right to “self-defense”, that’s vengeance and personal justice, not self-defense anymore. This is usually forbidden in democratic countries because it could have a lot of negative effects of society.
Overall, unless the laws and logic are very different in the USA, I don’t think this could be considered self-defense. This is also not going to stop the abuse by insurance companies since thousands of people can replace this guy, so it’s more about sending a message, isn’t it. What do we usually call the method of killing people to send a political message?

Needs clarification.
Maybe they just don’t want people to promote murder as a form of political action, although the log is not clear.
That would be a pretty common position, probably aligned with the rules of most communities on Lemmy and can be completely unrelated to protecting corporations, the system or whatever other people are jumping to.

The three big things I’m looking for otherwise are diverse viewpoints, if you can remain reasonably impartial

Oh blimey

Should I double my muscles and bones? Stem cell injections?

That would be a relief.

I will try to remember.

What makes 26 a full adult?

The eugenics law permitted sterilization or abortion surgery for people with intellectual disabilities, mental illnesses, or hereditary disorders without their consent, aiming to prevent “inferior” traits from entering the gene pool.
About 25,000 people were sterilized, 16,500 of them without consent, and there were around 59,000 cases of abortion surgery under the law, according to government data, with over 23,000 victims estimated to be alive.
The government will pay 15 million yen each to victims of forced sterilization surgery under the 1948-1996 eugenics law, 5 million yen to spouses of the victims and a lump sum of 2 million yen to those forced to undergo abortion surgery.

15M JPY is about 100k USD, and 4 years of median annual salary.

Wasn’t it about ranking female students by attractiveness or something?

I made this FOSS template for easy reuse.

I can vouch for Mullvad working well on Android and Arch in the past years.

Pourquoi le but serait uniquement d’obtenir l’ethnicité, il y a probablement autant de questions intéressantes qui dépendent plus du pays d’origine.

Est-ce que l’ethnie est vraiment une donnée plus facile à objectiver que le pays d’origine ?

En quoi est-ce detourné? C’est clairement affiché et verifié par des autorités indépendantes.

Par ailleurs, cf l’article :

En France, l’usage des statistiques ethniques(Nouvelle fenêtre) est ainsi autorisé à de rares exceptions(Nouvelle fenêtre), notamment pour la recherche scientifique. A ce titre, plusieurs travaux comme l’enquête Trajectoires et origines(Nouvelle fenêtre) de l’Insee et de l’Ined recueillent déjà des données comme la couleur de la peau ou l’origine des parents.

Du point de vue de la compréhension de la population et de l’adaptation des services publiques à leur besoins, ça pourrait être utile. Par exemple renforcer l’enseignement du français dans les villes où il y a plus de personnes d’origine étrangère non francophone. Avoir des données plus fiables permets aussi d’opposer des faits à des stéréotypes.
Je pense que l’évaluation du bénéfice/risque n’est pas évident. Je ne pense pas que le Défenseur des Droits ou la CNIL auraient donner leur aval sans garanties.

No, I didn’t know that! I thought it was some kind of honor for comedian to only play one character in their whole career. Thank you for your valuable contribution.
