I’m genuinely 50% or more sure they wouldn’t let me in at the border. Would be a waste of flight tickets. I love the actual land under US jurisdiction but don’t actually want to visit that shit show right now.

Ah yes, antisemitism - the most important of all racisms.

Let’s not bother with addressing the horrors of anti-black racism. Let’s just help make Zionists feel comfortable in a world that doesn’t like genocide.

No

A lot of really smart people are really dumb.

“B-but… we thought you liked and valued us because we were white enough.”

Love that show.

Don’t buy it.

When we stopped being hunter gatherers.

On those sites, have you tried VPN + ad blocking?

Humans: “we can improve nature” :D

Well, I guess you can keep growing, reading and learning so that you can speak more confidently in future.

But I think of it like this… morality is something you don’t necessarily need to study for. We should aim high for morality and how we live as a species. When people accept what they see as lesser evils to bring ‘order’ to this world, it’s because they have a weakness and the inability to imagine and fight for a just world without humans harming each other.

I’m in the UK and have a friend who has intellectually supported Trump over the years because “there’s nothing better and we need to sort this world out” etc. etc. You know, “he’s a little bit far out there but at least he will shake up the system” type stuff. But he’s also religious and looks up to saints of the past and I told him, why not have those standards, or at least standards where you’ll get behind merciful, kind people who want to share, etc.

So, its your professor’s weakness because he’s too scared to try to make a kind world. He’s unable to manage his fears over ‘foreigners’ and people who might have different viewpoints or interests. He wants to jump straight to attack. Tell him that he’s weak!

In what way do you feel too weak to respond to or tackle it?

Same as international law. It’s for the colonised or about to be colonised countries only.

😄

You know, I’m certainly not just pro-Ukraine. I’m not pro Russia. I’m anti-racist, anti-imperial, anti colonialist, anticapitalist. So, I likely get where you’re coming from.

But I wish the internet was a better place where the level of argument wasn’t just “cope westoid.” It’s dumb! Have an actual conversation and put your point across!

Capitalism rewards those who have the most command over capital. And how much command over capital one has is determined by how much command over capital one already has.

Top capitalist group doubles down.

What they probably meant was “we already decided who was going to get the job before the recruitment process began. It’s someone we already know and like.”

Of course there are practical elements to design. That hasn’t changed. We didn’t suddenly discover aerodynamics when cars became blobs toward the 2nd half of the 90s. It’s been a factor in car design for a very long time, so this does not negate my point at all.

My original point was to negate the notion that the claim of things being better in the past was unfounded.

Of course, there are examples of mediums and things being better more recently, such as animated TV series. The quality of today’s far outshines that of 30 years ago, for example.

But some of the most culturally important areas were better previously. Music and film clearly are important elements of culture.
