CBP is relentless in its mission to safeguard the nation’s borders and the privacy of all citizens. CBP’s biometric facial comparison technology is hosted within a secure cloud-based environment and does not store biographic data for any travelers. CBP retains U.S. citizen photos for no more than 12 hours after identity verification and only for continuity of operations purposes.

Is what they claim. What you saw may have been about non-citizens

ICE Is Now Wandering the Streets, Scanning People's Faces to Check If They're Citizens

They store the data from everytime you enter and exit the country. For citizens they claim to delete that data after a couple days- but I would not be too confident in that. So if you are a citizen ALWAYS opt out of biometric entry and exit. I've multiple times been told it is not an option, then being forced to wait 10 minutes- harassed about why I want to opt out, then it suddenly becomes an option. This is despite CBPs policy that you cannot be penalized for it. I have several audio recordings of this happening because I noticed how much of a pattern it was.

That's how religion works. It tends to inform people's morality

Then is an absolute monarch capitalist? It is fundamentally a different system to have a state merged with corporation as compared to have them divorced. To deny that is to be intentionally obtuse.

This I kinda don't get, in that this is probably the most vanilla thing you'd expect to hear from basically anyone of any religion about their spouse not following it.

Thats contrary to the basis of Islam and Christianity, which explicitly have always been about conversions.

Christians believe their God cares about and wants them to try to save everyone, they believe following the Christian God is the path to everlasting happiness, that's where the evangelism comes from- even when it takes a cruel form it is at least in theory a good intent(in practice of course often not).

Muslims believe their God wants all people to recognize and submit to the truth of himself, and that spreading this message is a duty.

If the capitalists are in charge of the state, they are the state. So it is not privately owned, it is state owned, the state just doesn't serve the populace. That's not capitalism.

the large firms and key industries are overwhelmingly publicly owned and planned

To not too dissimilar an extent as modern Russia

the working class is in control of the state.

Do you believe this for North Korea? If so, why not Russia?

Except that is not the principle in either country. There are plenty of cases where the state is in principle in control, or actually in control. Russia, similar to other economies, such as fascist Italy or China is structured in such away where you can exist as a "private" company as long as you ultimately bow to the state. You could also put many of the gulf states into that club. If socialism is not "when government does stuff" then capitalism is not "when rich people"

But it does not meet the definition of capitalism you gave. I agree its also not entirely socialist. It's almost like its not a binary, most economies are mixed. The US is also not purely capitalist.

I see what you’re saying but I think when you really get to know a person you’d be hard pressed to find two that overlap so much that theres nothing they can learn from each other.

No I agree completely, its just less interesting, and less opportunity.

In reality though, whether we mostly agree on most values(other than how they treat me and specific people I care about) does not have much of an impact in how I choose who date.

for example, human rights

The thing is, I think you, I, and basically everyone disagrees on what human rights are. It would be hard to date in much of the world if you believed in freedom of speech, or vice versa in other places.
