CMV: The right to self defence, both lethal and nonlethal, is an inalienable human right regardless of whether you come from a country with a low crime rate or high
first, i want to tell a brief story of a story. i recently got into this argument with a friend of mine last night when she was telling our group of friends and myself a story. a few nights ago, she was out with some of her friends were out drinking and partying. one of her friends, who was extremely drunk, was being chatted up by this super creepy/rapey guy. my friend confronted him, telling him to back off, and he did after being told to fuck off several times. out of curiosity, i ask her if she was packing any pepper spray. she responded that she had no need for it because crime isn't as common here in the UK as it is in the US, where i'm from. we then get into this argument about whether or not self defence is a necessary thing
here are my current views on things
-
whilst talking down some people does work at times, there are those who won't back down. people like the one mentioned above don't care about legality, only what they want and can/can't get
-
if someone were to break into your home, they don't give a fuck about your safety or your life. they may run away if they realise you're home, but at the same time they may very well attack you and leave you for dead
-
if someone starts threatening you with physical harm, you should either get out of the situation or (if unable to get away) use equal retaliatory measures in order to defend yourself
-
if you have any non-dangerous tools on you, such as a rape alarm or whistle, don't be afraid to use them. if you are close to security or police, don't be afraid to go to them
-
if you have any dangerous tools on you, such as pepper spray, a knife, or (if your country or state allows it) a firearm, you should not use your tools to further escalate the situation. use them in response to escalation. your tools are dangerous and should be treated with respect and extreme caution
-
it doesn't matter how safe your state or country is, there will always be people who have zero regard for legality and another person's life. you have to be willing and able to defend yourself against these people
i hold these views because i come from one of the more dangerous cities in the US where criminals are often armed with knives and guns and you are not allowed to legally defend yourself. what makes it worse is that the police legitimately do not give much of a flying fuck and are grossly incompetent. violent crimes are common where i grew up, and they've been getting worse. what's worse is that my brother's ho

How commonly used are the "low" and "country" parts of the Netherlands' name in your language?
-
Are they hardly used and archaic? Like how nobody uses nether in common conversation in English to refer to something that's low. Or lands to refer to countries in a country specific context.
-
Or are they commonly used? Like how País/Pays and Bajo/Bas are used in pretty similar ways and frequencies to the English words "Low" and "Countries" in Spanish (Países Bajos) and French (Pays Bas).
If your language doesn't incorporate either, feel free to say the literal meaning of the name.

Can I ask why western feminists do not attack these middle eastern countries along the gulf that commit these appalling crimes. Even low income families have servants. Most of which are WOMEN. Something must be done.

In Eugen Weber's Peasants into Frenchmen, he describes peasant folk beliefs about the magical powers of Catholic priests. Did folkloric beliefs about the magical powers of priests exist in the countries that went Protestant? And what happened to those beliefs after Protestantism?
Countries with people hoarding: The rush to stock up on fresh food can only be finite as consumption is not going up and freezer storage is finite. Has any any modelling been done of how long supermarkets will be low on fresh food (meat, eggs etc)?

Why did China become the factory of the world and not some other cheap labour country? There are a lot of countries with cheap labour, less compliance and low taxes in the world. Why did ''Made in China'' became such a massive success story?
