I am sure that felt validating

Wow, sorry you went through that as a kid. I’ve experienced something similar where someone I know had mellowed out with age, but it’s hard to just left their prior bad behavior be bygones, even though I don’t fight or actively hold any grudges lol

Maybe, but there’s something more horrifying when you’re reading a green text and it progressively. gets. worse.

Yeah, I like the way different cultures make their breads. When I said “bread” I meant more like the sliced variety one gets in a market.

To be honest, if the leftist revolution promises Stalins USSR style economics and governance, then Western people are better off without it because most people in Western nations are relatively well off, so moving to that type of economic/political model will make the majority in a western nation poorer.

For example, 66% of US population are homeowners, that is they own both the land and property (if any). In this case, the humanitarian pov is that the minority should be lifted from poverty, and provided equal rights to achieve self-actualization. So housing assistance, education, health care and food assistance.

The democratic and humane way to achieve this is via high tax rates on the uber wealthy. People also deserve protections from discrimination to enable their self-actualization in a psychologically and physically safe manner. My own philosophy is that a person is born without any will to be born, so that person doesn’t necessarily owe anything to anyone else other than reasonable and mutual social contracts. People don’t have the right to be sociopaths or psychopaths, but they don’t have to be self sacrificing or altruistic.

My own pov aside, the U.S. could implement China-style market socialism and state-controlled socialism for itself and its citizens, but then it’s not going to be a haven for immigrants because such policies require cultural homogeneity. Cultural homogeneity requires strict immigration control, as seen in China, https://www.ispionline.it/en/publication/why-isnt-china-considering-immigration-against-demographic-decline-163101.

But I think maintaining immigration to democratic and economically well off nations is important for lifting the world out of poverty and illiteracy. However, all of this necessitates that nations preserve democracy. Capitalism has ruined democracy, which is why we get neoconservatism/neoliberalism, two sides of the same fail coin.

Governance models have forgotten that people formed groups, communities and nations to ensure the betterment and self-actualization of the individual, not to create productivity or workers. Currently the world acts to enable self actualization for companies or nations, which is why we end up with genocides and corporate imperialism as a default state. People deserve better than the Stalin-style leftism or the Clinton-style liberalism. I think we need some type of humanitarian libertarianism, where we can ensure free markets, individual freedoms, but also governance models which ensure social fairness and justice.

Then why don’t they call it bug fried rice? Checkmate Atheists

Before you go go

lol

The counterculture has different subgroups, but they fall under the same happy non-conformist family, for example hippies, bikers, otaku etc. Or at least that’s how I think of it.

Oh snap, guess I am kitchen staff o7

People, please stop using twitter. Stop giving your attention and money to terrible people. Some people, like that white lady, are weak-minded and they will never learn.

I think he and his ilk would also be partial to Jeeps

I’ve become addicted to chicken caesar salads

I hate bread now, it’s like rice and pasta. Just filler, it tastes good but it’s just the worst.

Okay, the definition used for global 1% is so gross and unrealistic. People earning anything like that are definitely not “rich”. Being above extreme poverty is not “rich”. The only rich which matter are people making multimillion+ USD income per year through work or assets. Who do you think buys politicians and makes the law? It’s not the secretary in NYC earning $140K per year. Let’s be fucking for real, how do I take the rest of this article seriously if they’re this much their asshole?

My advice to writers who want to “win” for their pet politics: make sense at least. Otherwise you’ll get mad that someone called you out, and then you’ll just say they’re being a liberal or conservative, then you’ll be wrong twice. Pass the critical thinking test.

So he’s gonna learn that once you help entrench the powers of authoritarians, they’re not gonna care that you were once useful to them. You will slave away in their labor prisons, like many Chinese billionaires currently do once they stopped being useful. Authoritarians don’t care how much money you have, and people who hate protections which democratic nations confer to them, aka that “woke” shit, will get a wake up call when they find themselves not part of the in-group. Your race, money etc., nothing saves you then.

At its core being a goth is about being non-conformist.

Westerners are easy to agitate because they live relatively cushy lives. I am not saying just because someone isn’t living in extreme poverty, they should be grateful. I am saying consider who is agitating you and why. More often than not, they just want to be the ones to control you, and hate that someone else is doing it instead. They don’t want what’s best for you.
