The basic requirement in Argentina is that you’re Roman Catholic and a citizen. That’s in the constitution.

People say yes then cancel the same day of the event.

Yeah I remember that. It was the first thing I thought of her and felt sad again.

Well that was my post day paraphrase lol. Glad you found it.

Other side, sure. On the entrance side you might stub your toe.

Sorry it was on NPR in the morning. They had someone saying that it was a perfectly standard sale and were surprised by the decision.

And they are interviewing retired bankruptcy judges that are apparently at a loss right now.

No. Just smart enough to not be baited by money they will never see.

5. We had no chimney and future tech person me saw right through it.

There’s no accent on the second e.

That’s called capitalism

Sadly this person has been around the world as lot as his hobby for 20+ years was to travel internationally once a month and domestically twice. He had an agreement with the hotel he worked at that he'd work any shift they wanted as long as they gave him any time off when he wanted it. Sadly, even being exposed to culture doesn't necessarily make you cultured.

For a real Marxist revolution to take place, the entire populace has to stand up at once and decide to make this change. This requires humanity to do some pretty broad and general evolution before we, as a race, are nearly ready. Checks and balances won't fix the fundamental problem that humans are selfish and want more for themselves at the expense of others.

This is what actually got me banned from lemmy.ml. I said that although Communism can be done in a ML way, it has never actually happened because it has never actually be a revolution by the people. In the case of Russia and the places they influenced, it was a group of self-appointed elites that did the actual revolting, and then they imposed a new system on the populace.

You can really ask the same question about capitalist societies. Why is there such oppression? Why is there a group that can do anything and a group that cannot? Regardless of your political system, human behavior is the same and it usually involves insecure ape-like people who want power for power's sake. Communism, just like every political system ever created, trends towards this sort of behavior.

As someone else said, desperation will cause people to move towards authoritarian thought, be that the extreme right (fascism) or the extreme left (communism).

It's important to recall that anyone can be an idiot.

My former best friend (for a lot of reasons, is former) was a black man from Florida who confidently would say how all of Africa's problems are due to their own incompetence and that people who speak African American Vernacular English are lazy. Dude also celebrated Biden beating Bernie in the previous primary.

Believe it or not, these are not necessarily the same voters. A whole new generation of stupid just joined the ranks.

Seriously. Everyone involved was exhausted and there was nothing else for them to do except rest and recover. If they’d won, they’d still be going at it preparing to enter office while Trump went to Mar a Lago and tweeted.

lol lol that sounded really naive, I’m sorry
