I mean it is, and explicitly so.

Hes burning bridges while doing so and it doesn't work the way he thinks it does or at least like he's selling it, as a balance sheet, but this is 100% what people were voting for, if they were aware or not.

Countries would have just left the moment anything was truly imposed.

Im convinced Americans in the last 30 years are are deliberately miseducated on what the UN is from a very young age. It is by design a place of talk and strongly worded letters, and that it exists in that form is an incredible achievement.

100% of Irish people can speak English and do so without sounding as ridiculous as the Dutch do.

You assumed the switch needs to happen on the JDK. It's actually that we bought this software that depends on the old version with a perpetual license 18 years ago before every decided SaaS was god so we've got another 3 years left before ROI breaks even

Well one happened in living memory and people are still living in the houses of displaced people in Palestine.

This isn't just about land. This about homes, farms, legacies, birthright, inheritances that have been stolen by living people from living people. Not a vague concept of belonging.

The Dalai Lama(s) are worshipped as reincarnations Avalokiteśvara, the Buddha of Compassion.

If "god" means "something you can pray to, to directly make changes to reality", then they are definitely a god. The issue here is the conceptual trappings of Christianity's deity as a creator and omnipotent being.

The section on Tibetan Buddhism in the Wikipedia Avalokiteśvara article leads quite happily with calling them a deity and follows by noting the link to the Dalai Lama(s)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalokite%C5%9Bvara?wprov=sfla1

Tibetan Buddhist beliefs Avalokiteśvara is an important deity in Tibetan Buddhism. He is regarded in the Vajrayana teachings as a Buddha.[56]

...(Paragraph on Tara)...

Certain living tulku lineages, including the Dalai Lamas and the Karmapas, are considered by many Tibetan Buddhists to also be manifestations of Avalokiteśvara.[60][61][62]

What has this got to do with immigration beyond the location it happened? A Syrian killed a Syrian for breaching the cultural norms of Syria. Is it better that millions of other Syrians stay to be slaughtered, than this crime that impacts no Dutch people takes place in Netherlands?
