• Yeah…

  The university of Houston, Chicago public library, Encyclopedia Britannica, and encyclopedia.com all say the maximum amount of people in gulags was during stalin's reign and was 2.5 million people. Wikipedia has a number on the total amount of people passed through the gulags, but I think that number should not be used, as it sums up EVERY SINGLE imprisonment ever, even if they were released.

• Some thoughts on staging

  *shrugs* Just Googled it, and the definitions I'm seeing run along the lines of "purposely altering the crime scene to mislead authorities or redirect an investigation" (Google, taken from the website Practical Homicide), "altering the scene to disguise what really happened" (encyclopedia.com), and "attempting to make the crime look like something that it isn't" (dummies.com).

• I heard that in Muslim countries child marriage was common in history, can someone share any sources to prove this to Muslims?

  a. Brown shows Europeans married in their mid-twenties from the 1400s. "Britain and, to a lesser extent, most of northwest Europe differed from the pre-modern pattern of early marriage. Marriage age tended to be later, in the mid-twenties. In England, available data suggest that this was the case as far back as the fourteenth century." Shows awareness of the European Marriage Pattern. So one Muslim Apologists... Source: almost 3 years ago

During his career he had fractured both of legs, both feet, a wrist, several fingers, and his nose (numerous times).

  Again - my encyclopedia, history.com, encyclopedia.com, wikipedia all say the same thing I do - so I am in good company and you get outliers.

  Lookup the European Marriage pattern on encyclopedia.com and wikipedia and you'll see that the age at first marriage for females has been in the mid 20s from at least the 1400s. The USA copied this from Europe and had an age at first marriage for females in the twenties from the 1730s. Before that there are no statistics but it is bound to be comparable to Europe.

• The right wing is lumping trans student rights in with Critical Race Theory | The goal is to recreate the toxic brew of hatred, division and fear that propelled Trump into the White House.

  In the most broad sense, modernist theories like Marxism promote grand narratives that post modernist theories like CRT would reject. That is the critical difference. There is no shortage of debate in leftist academia between these groups. The encyclopedia.com article on CLS even cites Roberto Unger - a very prominent CLS scholar. He was certainly not a Marxist and excluded communists/Marxist from membership... Source: about 4 years ago
