BTW R, In Lebanon the long a is pronounced a long é (Lbnén) except when it is at the end where it becomes a long "a" (or "o" in Amioun), with the only exception I found is in Zgharta where it is "Zgharté, Sé3é (se3o in Amioun).

The saying that it takes much more energy to displace than install falsehood is itself a falsehood
1) Sticky "falsehoods" are beneficial or useful for survival (placebo, superstition)
2) Falsehood can only persist if #Lindy
3) Nonhelpful falsehoods tend to collapse very quicky

“Saying ‘I love literature’ in place of ‘I love Dostoyevsky’ or some specific author or book is equivalent to telling one’s partner ‘I love women’ instead of ‘I love you’.”—Nassim Nicholas Taleb

You know I would defend you if someone try to deny your freedom of expression, even if I disagreed with your message.

Let me be clear about intolerance against intolerance.
The rule is that People (say Salafis) whose platform is EXPLICITLY denying democracy (or free speech) should not use democracy (or free speech) to reach political power.

Nightmare! Someone citing me in EXACTLY opposite of the meaning:
Being "intolerant against intolerance" does NOT mean tagging people as fascist or somethinist SO you can muzzle them.
@davidgraeber's tactic is tagging people w/o due process, witches to be hunted. twitter.com/kellydanc/stat…

President Micron,
You don’t want other countries to interfere in the affairs of France
And/or sypport the #YellowVestProtests rebels.
Why did France support the jihadi headcutters in Syria?
Please explain, President Micron.
