There’s a Tory cabal of Communist sleeper agents set to destroy British imperialism in all their forms, including the very country of Britain. Liz Truss was too ambitious and was taken off from power as a result, but I’m glad to see Boris was up to finish the task o7
Wait until you hear about Latin American colonizers taking inspiration in the cities of “Granada”, “Córdoba” and “Santiago” to name their cities “Granada”, “Córdoba” and “Santiago”. At least Venezuela changed a couple letters from Venezia.
Except when you’re playing Victoria and the capitalists decide it’s time to build the 34th arts academy with the building capacity it took you sweat and blood to build.
It happens to neurotypical people, but in very different degrees. It is like one guy telling another: “I hate it when a place doesn’t have elevators”, and the other replies “I know, it gets me so tired to climb all the stairs!”, quite oblivious to the fact that the first one is on a wheelchair.
There’s a hell of a difference between calling random commenters “dickriders” and having your boss, whom you have a very unequal relationship with, berate you like this.
"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops"
Those composers are famous because they were pioneers in the development of music and their work has been used to educate musicians in virtually all countries during the last century. There are composers creating similarly valuable music today, sometimes working in cinema or video games, and composers doing pioneering work, usually in experimental music. They aren’t as famous because their work isn’t being used worldwide to educate musicians, but they might be by 2123, provided society hasn’t collapsed.
Why are y’all in the comments trying to act like one or another universalist position has to fit like a sock to all situations? There are debates where one side is blatantly wrong and the other is blatantly correct, debates where one side is wrong and the other has some points right, debates where both sides have some points right, debates where both sides would do well to return to school and debates where no side can be objetively correct because they’re discussing something intrinsically subjective. The “enlightened centrist” meme is useful to mock the stupid position that “the truth is always in the middle”, but if you think you’re always going to find someone in any debate who has the right answer, you’re going to find yourself siding with stupid shit all the time.
I was just reading about how a current Israeli war minister’s son died in combat and it made me wonder that if Israeli’s politicians who make these decisions know their family will be affected by it personally and directly, does that lend towards the suggestion that it is more likely they are making genuinely ethically and...
Fascism has done far more harm to the world. Barely any half-serious anarcho-capitalist has had a hand into influencing much practical policy. Even Milei is backing down from some of his campaign proposals, and he’s just gotten elected.

Do Israeli Politicians' adult children get conscripted just like the average adult Israeli citizen as part of mandatory service?
