It is by far the best police/crime show ever made. No one wants to watch it though, maybe because once your eyes are open to the way that Baltimore works is the same way every city works and you can’t close your eyes to it in real life.
I think a lot of people, including me, lose interest during the first episode when the way the characters and story are presented is so contrived and all over the place you easily get lost.
It is like real people, they don’t always give away all of who they are in the first episode, by the end of the series though you will see the versions of people in that show in real life.
It isn’t spoon fed but you start seeing and figuring out what is going on when the characters start seeing it too.
Dude I can’t agree more. It really is the best show ever made. I tell people and they think I’m joking cuz it’s just a random show. It’s not a random show. It beats everything else. People who have seen it know what I’m talking about.
How about Bill Gates? His control of intellectual property law allowed him to almost personally stop the global south from manufacturing their own COVID vaccines and instead have to purchase them from the west. Bill Gates is answerable to millions of deaths. He’s one of the most evil people alive but you get weird looks saying so. He’s one of the top 5 richest people in the world and has spent the last two decades doing PR.
The question does not require a single name, it said who, which can be answered with a list of people or groups of people. Eg. Who did I make love to last night? A: Your parents!
My “watch later” list in Netflix has been unchanged since they first created the feature and I used it for the first time. Lots if random movies I wanted to watch at the time, but lost interest in them shortly after.
Don’t get me started on that! My wife is the same. I recommend a show, multiple times. Nope, not interested. But as soon as one of her girlfriends even mentions it that she should check it out “Okay, we should start watching that show!” THAT’S WHAT I RECOMMENDED FOR YEARS NOW!
I’m one of those people that don’t like it when people recommend stuff. I guess generally if you send me a clip and it’s my kinda jam then that’s cool.
Most of the time I like watching old stuff. I feel like I don’t need to pay attention as much and can just relax.
Well, the workers didn’t own the means of production, they didn’t abolish currency, they didn’t do anything about class division, they didn’t abolish the state, they didn’t empower the working class, and they aren’t going to do any of these things later, but on the other hand, you clearly think mao was very trustworthy so surely you must just be taking his word for it.
“land tilled by the peasantry was increasingly subject to government control, undoing many key principles of ownership as we shall see in the subsequent section ‘The Collectivisation of Agriculture.’”
So… the government took it. Making it a meaningless gesture. Communism is not when the government owns things.
Y’know it’s not hard to figure this stuff out. The government took everything in china. That doesn’t even take research, that’s basic knowledge.
Bold of you to call me “fucking stupid” when you didn’t even read your own source, not to mention that that’s ONE of the requirements, not all of them, and they didn’t even do that.
Especially trying to accuse me of not reading the source when you skipped past to the very last paragraph to dishonestly quote out of context a line that even within itself betrays the fact that you’re being a dishonest piece of shit.
Congratulations, you’ve at best given 1 of the things that I listed… and tried to turn that into me being the idiot and not you. Except you didn’t because you know full well the chinese government owns that now. They didn’t give the land to the people, they pretended to briefly and then took it for themselves. Unlike you I have actually bothered to research these things: resourcehub.bakermckenzie.com/…/real-estate-law
Who owns land in china? the chinese government. So, no, they did not even make an attempt.
You said they didn’t do anything about class division and being the debatelord idiot you are, you decided to ignore the fact as you read it that they abolished an entire landlord class so you could stay on course with your reply.
When the government takes everything is that solving class division in your mind, or is that just creating a new class that owns everything?
Now, what I want you to try to do, with your very useful and very large brain is compare the list of things that make communism, and compare the list of things that the chinese did, right, and notice that the chinese didn’t do any of them.
Abolish class division < they created a new class, their own bourgeois, and took everything. This could ARGUABLY be an attempt… and it’s the best you’ve got.
Abolish currency < not even attempted
Abolish the state < not even attempted
Give the workers the means of production < not even attempted
So, at best, they attempted one of the things… and didn’t do it.
And when I say you don’t need research for this, I’m saying that it’s common knowledge that the chinese government took anything… Even gradeschoolers know that.
