That shit pissed me off so much. I hope all their coffees are fucked with in the future.

Realistically the only chance for leftist adjacent education (outside of boutique private schools) is in high school, and then only in advanced class.

Frankly, all us education avoids the kind of critical thinking that’s actually an avenue to radical thought (especially since good writing requires, at the least, a flirtation with sophistry that would even piss some communists off. So instead we teach five paragraphs essays.

This is to say, I wouldn’t worry about place so much as getting the kid (if they’re able) an IB or AP school program.

Alternatively, make them work a year in fast food and then hand them Marx. Worked for me (though the pump was primed by an excellent history teacher in HS)

Much later…

Wrote a dissertation on Augustine, the Pelagian heresy sort of makes sense since that whole thing is basically about being able to save yourself without help from Christ, etc.

The rest is very dumb tho. Also, their is pathetic compared to the GOAT.

@Wertheimer@hexbear.net is correct about the correct readings from both Heidegger and Nietzsche. Even if we should reject a Nietzschean will to power, recognizing it is important.

The end of the (I think second?) aphorism of Geneaology of morals is an all time mic drop.

This self-overcoming of justice: one knows the beautiful name it has given itself – mercy; it goes without saying that mercy remains the privilege of the most powerful man, or better, his – beyond the law.

Hard boiled

Mulder and Scully always shit on the local cops for whatever incident they’re investigating.

They’re also suspicious of the federal government.

The alien conspiracy is also basically the legacy of Paperclip, Unit 731, etc. in the show.

So Mulder and Scully (together though, on his own Mulder’s basically a crank) are good cops, but part of that is because the show makes all other cops comically evil (either local hicks who aren’t able to recognize a corporation is doing biological testing or even complicit in whatever shit is going down) and the authority above Mulder and Scully is compromised by being a legacy of Nazi/Japanese Imperial evil. As FBI, they basically work to undermine both ends (the authority above and the shitty cops below).

Also, in general, they don’t do the flagrant evil cop shit, they’re more interested in trying to get evidence to take down big corporations/the government conspiracy (of course, this never goes as planned, but hey, they’re trying!)

Mulder and Scully (only as a combo unit).

Plato and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Yeah, I’d love to live in a state with a wise stalinist leader who directs all production to a humane end. It’s not real and we need to account for the limits of authoritarian rule (she’s right in the first half of the tweets ofc, we shouldn’t fetishize democracy), her “solution” is just idealism.

Yeah its also hard to when you’re crying so many tears at what’s happening.

The whole sequence, cutting to our Soviet queen crying, the final shout from Noriko

It’s just so worth it.

That’s totally fair. It’s good that they’re for a welfare state and against capital punishment, but this is also just like, a huge fall from her more detailed reporting on the inhumanity of death row (which wasn’t unique ofc but was trying to at least get Christians on that level)

Exposing hypocrisy is such a losing strategy. I see what she’s trying to do but this is such a weak way to do “Christians should support criminal justice reform”

Good luck! If you want a hint

Did you get the item that allows you to double jump?

There’s like 3 rooms the kangaroo rotates between, not a bug.

Caution I think is the right word. It’s like, if there’s an opportunity to convince someone who’s a worker who is like “wow that Clarkson has good ideas about national service,” we should educate them that he’s drafting our (better) ideas.

Oh no I know, but acknowledging the dignity of all labor (and educating everyone on it through some kind of youth service) is something we should push for.

He’s not the torchbearer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use him to potentially get people on our side by simply stating that this kind of thing is good and that it should be more general.

Btw I’m not familiar with brit politics, just clarkkksson as a piece of shit.

I mean nothing wrong with making privileged teens work in some shit job for a while. Rather than never doing remotely difficult work (even a shit fast food job) breeds the most ghoulish boug children.

Obviously not kids, but 17-20 is prime time for this shit

There’s a few exceptions, but there is a real issue with writing good endings in anime/manga

Anime endings are so rarely good.

Gainax had some crazy magic that made them create amazing endings running out of budget (Gunbuster b/w, Eva).

This is the exception though, most anime endings are at best mids.

Back in the day this was because mangas were ongoing so you’d get a thrown together anime ending.

Nowadays though, I couldn’t tell you why.
