It’s because they are genuinely incapable of understanding how epistemology works, and that if you have a ‘pro police progressive’, that doesn’t mean shit for socialism. Also you cannot be ‘pro-police’ and ‘pro-labor’, they are diametrically opposed class groups.
Yeah no shit, it is almost like it doesn’t actually think or something so you still need human labor, on top of expensive infrastructure.
Yeah, Prachett doesn’t have any particularly special love for Vimes, which comes off in his memoirs. However, he was extremely good at tapping into the “Good Cop” psyche, and the reason Guards! Guards! is one of his best books, is because it is the first one in the Discworld series that really buckled down on fleashing out Ankt-Morpork as a real breathing city, not just a fantasy foil for Rincewinds stories to begin, and Vimes is absolutely the best narrator to tell that story.
It definitely is the one that really put him on the map.
Or you could admit that you are not actually on the ground, and therefore you don’t know shit? Also you aren’t calling a spade a spade. Don’t be coy.
Literally, just wait. Fuck this shit isn’t that hard.
True. However, this is where you have to look at the actions of non-state actors. If you just looked at state actors during the Russian Revolution, you would have been fucked. “The revolution will not be televised.”
Sophie is literally a seminal artist in hyperpop. You cannot listen to a single song without hearing her influence.
Depends on the structures of resistance that are in place and their ability to plan and respond. Or you can be smug and passive-aggressive back seat driver.
I wonder which one is more effective?
If dialectics has taught us anything, it is that sometimes you have to move backwards in order to go forwards again. I think people often forget that. In order to truely rebuild, you must first tear down.
Yes, and that was the plan all along. The only thing preventing them from doing so was the government needing to have a semblance of competition between rich people. Now if you want it, it’s yours. Kinda nice actually, gets rid of the mask of pretense that existed before.
It’s a pipe cutter.
However, it looks like she is sticking it into an Elbow pipe, which is an odd choice. Additionally, you would need a saudering tool after that.
I think the key, at least for Bolivia, is that they can basically do this forever. Right wing government comes in, unions all go on strike, right wing government goes out. If it works, there is nothing stopping it form happening every single time.
It is the U.S. that is on borrowed time now, imo.
This is some hyper specific bullshit. Like this person has constructed an entire racist conservative worldview in their head, where everyone else is stupid and ugly, except for them.
This was some absolute cancer to read Jesus Christ. Like the bottom swill of German libertarianism.
Or they would simply stop consuming on that platform or find an alternative source, or someone else would fill the market gap. This shit is clearly profitable and prevelant. It’s not like Chapo ever stopped making money, even when Bernie stopped being a thing.
Someone would want to make money in that gap.
Edit: Unless you presuppose that watching streamers is literally an addiction, where addicts will go to less that premium sources to consume, which isn’t a terrible model, but if that is the model for online ideological discourse we are already well and truly fucked.
Because doxxing? I am already way too flagrant with my shit, but like, I am pretty secure.
I would wonder if the judges weren’t bribed with a crap ton of money. It’s really not out of the question at this point. When you have billions floating around, what is a couple hundred thousand?
It’s a three day old account. They are gonna troll.
I succeeded in reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, only after listening to a podcast on it, and also putting over 400 hours into Total War: Three Kingdoms.
That said, I could barely tell you any specific thing that happens in it other than an extremely funny sequence early on where a farmer serves his lord (And I think it is either Liu Bea or Cao Cao) his (the farmer’s) wife (maybe just her hand, I can’t remember) for supper because he does not have any other meat, and the Lord eats it, until he finds out that it is the farmer’s wife, in which he then graciously forgives the farmer and thanks him for the meal, which according to the author demonstrates his magnanimous relationship with the common people, and I am like “This sounds like he told the guy to serve him whatever meat he had on pain of death, and then he had to save face from being huge sack of shit.”
And this guy is supposed to be one of the good lords.
It’s an absolutely insane story though, with so many cool battle sequences.
That’s not how media vacuums work. People don’t just randomly switch ideologies because a streamer doesn’t exist. Someone else would simply fill the market gap and consumption demand. That’s why it is so difficult to change people’s views online, it has absolutely nothing to do with their actual material conditions, and it is those material conditions that cause them to seek out certain kinds of media.
This mostly just points to your own ignorance about what is going on in the mainstream media. Hasan comes up around here once, maybe twice a week, but he is non-stop in the news cycle for mainstream Dems. The fact that my mother knows who he is means that he has reached the average politics watcher (which is still a minority entertainment product).
Yes. And it has been for awhile.
The fact of the matter is that, epistemologically, the discreet subjects of science, technology, engineering and math have very little to do with each other. There is some overlap, but for example, there is as much epistemological overlap between engineering and math as engineering and anthropology.
However, because of corporate propaganda, pushed by people like the Clinton foundation and Bill Gates, they neglect the aspects of engineering that overlap with the liberal arts, to focus entirely on the aspects of engineering that overlap with math and science.
This leads to bad fucking engineers, and an overall underdeveloped understanding of what engineering is. Engineers who literally can’t do basic financial and media analysis. And the same can be said of people in the the other three departments as well.
