Colonizes all continents on earth, perpetrated the biggest slave trade in history, only decolonizes well after WW2 literally the last country on earth to do so
There’s some evidence Walken and Robert Wagner maybe were having an affair, and Robert and Natalie had a big fight over it. One person on the boat heard a loud noise after they were fighting, and Robert went back to his cabin right after it. But Natalie was taking pills and drinking a lot as well.
Truth is, the police never really made Robert or Walken to be suspects, even though they are really the only suspects in this. I mean honestly who cares maybe it was just an accident.
I don’t think Walken personally killed Natalie Woods tho.
Your lack of political awareness is part of the problem.
The neoliberal project was a direct response to the fall of the USSR. Europe only enjoyed social welfare for so long by being right next to the USSR.
As colonies of the US empire, Europe was allowed privileges to contrast and compare against the USSR.
After the USSR fell, social welfare fell. Neoliberalism kicked in.
There was no real left in Europe after WW2 and the Marshall Plan. Only social democrats, which really are right-wing since they defend capitalism.
China is far far ahead when it comes to developing society for the people. The government there is spending trillions investing in infrastructure, health, education, housing.
They are allowing all the big housing developers go bust and buying up their assets and capital. They recently declared housing to be a human right and started decommodifying it.
You can check any major city in China nowadays and they all have much better quality of life than any comparable city. That meaning major metropolises in developing countries (so places like São Paulo, Buenos Aires, México City, Johannesburg, Jakarta etc.). Housing is much cheaper in China, salaries are higher, cost of living is lower…
China is indeed out-capitalisming the west, but they are doing so by being socialists.
The joke that China is winning the international capitalism game because at least all their ruling party has read Marx is… probably true lol.
Because of the misdirection that exists around “left and right” wing politics.
There is really only one relevant axis when it come to right and left wing. Pro-capitalism and anti-capitalism.
The center and the extreme right both seek to protect capital at all costs. One believes “decorum” and “the structures of power” are necessary to maintain capitalism, one believes an extreme restructuring of power is necessary to “save” capitalism.
They disagree with the means, but they agree with the ends.
And the center will always give way to the extreme right when things get hairy enough. They fear losing some power, but they fear most losing ALL power…
Far-right is extreme defence of the status quo. Liberalism is… moderate defense of the status quo? Except when push comes to shove, all liberals resort to very extreme measures to defend “how things are” and their position in society.
I think people prefer the one everyone is at. Makes sense. For social media, what matter most is social capital. People only migrate when they feel that the majority will migrate. Some are more sensitive and migrate sooner. But never when there isn’t a trend.
