I guessed so. Thanks.
Where did you find this?
Maybe tech school should require electives like philosophy, logic, ethics, sociology and psychology classes? This used to be required here, but isn’t, anymore.
Legislators have been ignoring the vote, too.
Wait, they said nothing productive was coming from the thread, including themselves, then locked it? I’m a little confused, what was the ban for?
Welcome Midwest social members to other instances, when they come. They were always very welcoming to me and I am grieved that this is happening.
You really can’t overstate this plain truth, and people will still cling to the illusion of freedom.
Was he on that island discussing whether the billionaires could keep their security detail loyal with shock collars?
Ellison is the world’s sixth-richest man with a net worth of $157 billion, according to Bloomberg.
They are really concerned when people tire of their children dying from hunger and easily treatable diseases, we’ll be coming for them. But rather than give up an iota of the money generations can never spend for our ecology and things people need to live, they resort to things like shock collars and surveillance states.
Not to mention diseases that are about to hit. It blows my mind that people who had this done to them are doing it to their neighbors; and that people who fought a global war to say it’s reprehensible send them weapons, and repeat excuses they know are lies.
Thanks. That’s a liberal (sorry, I couldn’t resist) definition of socialism he used there too, even allowing for the “national” qualifier.
It seems I read once that “socialist” was just in the party name to garner support of those who would be supportive of socialist values. I can’t recall the publication, but wonder if that’s true?
I’m really beginning to wonder if the whole point of giving tfg so much media coverage over so nonsense is to distract from the lack of meaningful policy of the other party and make the rightward march more palatable, because if it is, it’s working.
You’re welcome? I haven’t done anything but share a limited perspective, and I’m happy you appreciated it.
There’s an anchoring effect at play here as well where people naturally assume that the society they grew up in is the natural default. Any deviation from that is seen as being extreme as a result.
That even happens from household to household, in the same neighborhood.
We’re heavily propagandized from birth. I realize that happens to greater or lesser degrees, around the world, but overworked, underpaid, tired, struggling for necessities, junk science with fake peer reviews and certain governments strongarming (to put it mildly) other governments. Cognitive dissonance waved away with professional terms. Overwhelm, in short. I only have the “luxury” of scratching the surface of my own enforced, propagandized ignorance because I’m chronically underemployed, my offspring is an adult, and other factors. Critical thinking isn’t rewarded, often punished, and it’s hard, especially when you’ve been deliberately misguided for decades, from birth.
I can’t begin to imagine how exhausting it must be for you. I am grateful for your patience and gentleness with me as I struggle to remedy whatever is within my personal capacity to remedy, with the time and resources available to me, and would urge continued patience, for the few who may still be reached.
Siddhartha Gautama would agree.
Whatever works, I guess?
That juicy bit about YouTube. Is that why it’s so horrid?
