  • What do you mean by population crisis?

    In the world it’s the other way around, the demographics are still booming.

    You know what came before having better birth control and lower birth rates in most developed countries, medicine and lower death rate. In most of them now both are pretty close (most because there are exceptions like Japan).

    I’m not really sure i see a problem with a slight decrease in population in a place where there is already a lot of people.

    Well depends what you mean by birth control… is it a way to prevent pregnancy or children?

    Since birth is in the name i’d say the term is better suited for referring to anything preventing the birth of a children. But what the term refers to has no barring on what’s happening.

    It never meant people don’t make a difference. Any reasonable women knows and feel the difference.

    The fact it’s less safe and has worse effects on your health is just another way we realize how serious an abortion is. It will never be inconsequential even if it was safe.

    Please do not to trust anyone who says people disagree with this. They all have a political reason to lie.

    No it’s based on League of Legends. Much more toxic than valorant even if both are developed by the same company, riot games.

    Honestly Valorant could have been much worse if not for riot learning their lessons and being on top of it shutting down a lot of reasons to be toxic.

    P.S. The lore on the other hand is so much richer in LoL


  • Destroying a system means there isn’t anything in place and also that you weaken the power of your own side because you had to go through all the violence needed.

    That’s obvious but it also explains why worse system can rise, but also that it’s not always a doomed endeavor. I think the context has a lot to do with what will occurs next.

    The best exemple i could give is the French Revolution. It was followed by the worst Napoleonic wars. But its philosophers founded the building block for the republic that’s still in place to this day.

    The red revolution against tsarist has brought a lot of positive foundation from which Russian could arguably have builded upon after the war, if not for Gorbachev.

    I’m not gonna go to much into any hypothetical but what Lenin created had a real and positive influence in the rest of Europe at least.

    At the worst end of the spectrum Iran really had nothing left to build upon, the situation there is catastrophic on all front. So if not for the US the country isn’t gonna stand on its legs any time soon.

    I think the evolution of the end of a system, even through those three exemple, can go into so many different path. It’s hard to really predict anything, especially without taking into account all the parameters and context.




  • The ideal solution you propose was often used when we used glass.

    The only reason we could have started throwing our containers is because plastic is so much cheaper.

    To be fair, when we used glass, fewer product were transported long distance.

    Nowadays we can do like Germany who incentives to bring back bottles for recycling.

    Or an even better alternative would be to use glass for individuals and another method for transportation.

    Although i’ve seen some bio stores starting to refill plastic containers, wich isn’t perfect but a nice middle ground to start changing habits.






  • Sorry i’m harsh Cuba isn’t quite a dictatorship i give you that one (Although not quite democratic either), maybe that could be a good study.

    But saying Stalin or Mao are not dictatorships is just delusional.

    The CIA as a source is pretty funny though.

    I get it Stalin didn’t quite have all powers, like that’s what it took to classify a government a dictatorship. As if one-party system couldn’t be complex.

    (And yes socialist market economy, that really makes a world of difference from capitalist market)

    Also to make things clear i wouldn’t have sided with tsar or anyone else than Lenin. I do believe in communism.

    Now some improvements may be from communism, i hope so, but don’t pretend you can prove it more than i. It’s not like life expectancy, literacy rate or other factors alike couldn’t rise with another system. It’s not like you could eliminate the possibility of third factors in a time with so much change in all areas of life.

    But i sure wouldn’t have followed Stalin in his totalitarian regime. I sure hope if communism was a solution today it would be democratic.



  • So USSR was a dictatorship, the country was in ruin after WW2

    The 3 factor i mentioned are there.

    The data shows what everyone knows, capitalism increase inequality. But what it doesn’t show is how communism made the country improve, because it didn’t.

    What i’m saying is, it couldn’t help because of the war and Stalin. We don’t know if it would’ve otherwise.

    Cuba again is a dictatorship, and wasn’t rich.

    The PRC is a dictatorship, China went on a horrible famine with Mao. Nowadays getting richer only because of how their economy is now fully capitalist.

    So let’s say you had significant data that showed it improved some things socially. And let say you somehow managed to prove its causal and not coincidence.

    I would still rather not say dictatorships like USSR or PRC are good to live under.

    That’s my point, even if communism was good, dictatorship is a plague that makes any system a nightmare.


  • Most didn’t? Can you give a few exemples then?

    You don’t start a war unintentionally… but i didn’t say start, just being in a war.

    Also i don’t imply it was because of communism, my point is that, how can we judge communism if other devastating sociological factors are involved.

    Now, i don’t have a point if you say most of them were better for it, but i don’t know any who did so i’d love to educate myself…


  • To be clear i agree.

    I do feel for the Russian people that will suffer Putin’s decisions, but i personally wouldn’t concede one bit of Ukrainian soil to that fucker.

    I wish my country was helping. That said, as a French without any skin in the game, let me tell you we don’t even have skin in our own games. (If you followed any news of us you know)

    It’s not like any of us are ever being asked what to do. And I do genuinely fear our so called democracies are gonna implode. And when they do, diplomacy with Russia will get bad for everyone.
