“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” - Mark Twain

I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic
Lmao, VOA was a propaganda outlet funded by the CIA. It did not “spread freedom”
These countries aren’t at war so the behavior is unusual. It also exemplifies the relationship Ukraine has with the US and NATO.
Depends on the religion. A pantheist might say yes
5·22 days agoDamn RIP. I didn’t know Losurdo passed away.
Same! I love laboring for my community. The community work I have done has been incredibly fulfilling and I wish I could make a living doing it. Labor is not a bad thing, I love to labor for those I care about. It just isn’t an option. Sitting idle sucks
I wish north american cities were decent. I’d love to live in a city long term but the only city I enjoyed living in was utterly unaffordable. One day I will find a city I’m able to live in that isn’t infested by cars
Oh that is already being done its just that human wellbeing isn’t the goal and the process of efficient management isn’t public facing
It seems you are referring to a technocracy. This could be an efficient means of managing capitalism but it does not remove capitalism. Political systems are subordinate to their economic base not the other way around. A technocratic system that scientifically negates the consequences of capitalism will not come about because it would be unprofitable. The capitalist does not want to address the consequences of their actions so the emotional/cultural appeal keeps us feeling politically engaged while actually doing nothing. They cannot investigate and solve the worlds problems without incriminating themselves.
They really shouldn’t have had much legitimacy before this but I am happy to watch their fall
Because their governments are/were made up of communists with the goal of achieving communism
I for one, am thoroughly enjoying all this winning. Very impressive
Rugged individualism and idealism. We have long been conditioned to view these things as a personal moral failure rather than the inevitable result of social pressures. Mainly because this is more convenient for our masters.
Yeah of course, that’s part of the process of developing a consistant political perspective. You’re gonna fuck up and violate your own internal moral code or develop one that contradicts itself in some ways. That’s okay as long as you learn from it no?
Didn’t know good attitude was legally required to have your rights respected. Does this person not have a right to be pissed? They are literally about to lose the roof over their fucking head 💀
Don’t have advice but came here to say fuck your landlord and I hope things work out for you ❤️
Make another account if necessary. Sometimes these people just don’t quit
