I support humane people everywhere. I do not support any group that uses weapons against any other group, no matter what. War mongering is only going to ensure more war mongering. What I truly support is people of greater intelligence reaching across the divide to start promoting peace and learning to live with each other.
I disagree. Lead and sulfur will be the facsists weapon of choice and it already is. The real cure of fascim is intelligence. Educated people are humane people. Kindness is the hallmark of a well educated person.
Yeah that’s how we beat the Nazis in ww2. We invested in their education infrastructure.
You can prevent facism from taking root with a good education sure, but once colonialism or imperialism or facism are present, violence is exceptionally good at getting rid of it.
Untrue, my friend, untrue! We didn't invest in their education infrastructure, we went in like America always does and blasted their brains out. You can live in your world of war and violence all you want - that's not the kind of world I want to live in.
we went in like America always does and blasted their brains out.
I know, I was being sarcastic. What is your proposed solution to facists? Because if you’re pretending that you can just get rid of them, or colonial forces, or imperial forces without violence you’re delusional. Historically that hasn’t been the case. You can’t just shut your eyes and ignore the world you live in.
I know you were being sarcastic, so was I. My proposed solution to fascists is not to become one myself. I can ensure myself and my family don't stoop to such levels of corruption, I can fight back if I have to, I can vote them out of office - but really what else can one person do without becoming a fascist themselves. I don't close my eyes to the world I live in - I'm an avid news reader and follower of all news networks and a constant contributor to the guest editorial section of my local paper. I do voice my views and spread whatever small influence I may have.
Ok but you’re still being kinda delusional. You want to vote hitler out? You want Vietnam and algeria and Haiti to vote the French out? Sometimes you have to use violence to stop the violence that someone else is doing.
What I'm saying is in order to stop the future growth or rise of fascism, education is important. Letting kids read about the real history of oppression and violence is absolutely vital. I'm not delusional about the idea that the current fascists in office can be defeated with intellectualism - obviously that isn't going to work. Sometimes you do have to fight fire with fire. But I truly believe that in most instances, to have peace you have to prepare for peace, by nipping fascism in the bud through early education and open discussions.
I could have made that clearer in my original post. I was really talking about educating future generations - rather than trying to take down the current regime.
I stand by what I said, I don't support any group using weapons against another group. Yes, it's quite natural for any group to defend themselves against an attack, but that doesn't excuse the immoral corruption of killing others, whatever the reason for it. That's my opinion, but I stand by it. And anyone who disagrees and wishes instead to dwell in a state of violence, is free to do so.
Good luck with that. Unless you have a passcode and the gate keeper lets you in, you can't get within a mile of my home. Not by my doing, my family's estate is on private land that is also a nature preserve, mostly closed to public entrance. We own hundreds of acres and most of it is private, so it's a long long hike up a winding driveway to our estate - better pack a lunch with you.
OP can have the spare bathroom and storage room. The kitchen, bedrooms, and central living space are exclusively ours. No cooking, utilities, or guests allowed, and OP isn’t allowed to leave through any door, but if they ask nicely they can talk from the storage room doorway.
No that's "predestination". You're thinking of the process by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and a source of hydrogen, using light as an energy source.
No, that’s “predestination.” You’re thinking of a medical condition one had before they signed up for an insurance policy and then got denied coverage for.
No, that’s “osteoporosis”. You’re thinking of rare genetic condition that causes large finger tips (clubbing), thickening of the skin of the face (pachydermia) and extra sweating (hyperhidrosis).
No, that's "poutine"! You're thinking of a large box used as a form of transportation for a human passenger, often carried using poles by at least four other people.
Nah bro, that’s paragliding. You’re thinking of that crumbly, flammable wax used chiefly in coating and sealing, in candles, in rubber compounding, and in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Wrong, chief. That’s Paraffin. You’re thinking of a cute little bird with bright orange and grey stripes on its beak found in the north Atlantic ocean.
No, that’s pashmina. You’re thinking of Italian food made from flour, eggs and water and shaped in different forms, usually cooked and served with a sauce.
Similarly a lot of my 2x and 3x great grandparents looked better in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s than their kids and grandkids. Most of them wouldve been born in rural regions around the late 1800s so I suspect you are correct in what made folks age faster.
That’s the joke. I immediately thought of the book and then when I went to find a photo to paint lightsabers on, I realised that both the OG and “and Zombies” had been made into films about fifteen years ago. This image is from the “and Zombies” film. They were already carrying swords in this shot.
A lot of cocoa farmers have never tasted chocolate, so it tracks that in the terminal capitalism of the Galactic Empire, moisture farmers wouldn’t have access to moisture.
On my life I didn’t click the link but I know it’s that John Oliver episode and I’m scared to watch it because I love chocolate. I know that’s selfish but I don’t have a lot of just for me things I enjoy and I’m loathe to take one away.
I told my wife and daughter today that I wouldn’t be eating chocolate anymore and when I asked why, I said, “I’ll tell you, but only if you want me to ruin chocolate for you forever.” They opted not to know.
That’s almost literally everything we consume in modern society. It all has costs that hurt someone along the way. Exploitation is a part of capitalism. Only you can draw your line in the sand.
