Also they are the perfect pets to have into the small cubicles people are generally force to live in urban centers.

I believe ethics are more situational than morals. While morals are set by the dominant class and often influence ethics in various situations (family, work, friendship), they are not always a result of morals. Good examples are ethics in medicine, which most of them predates capitalism and ethics in religion too.

Many of the morals (and thus ethics) of our times revolves around the concepts of individualism and freedom. Which are the sources of many of our woes.

That’s liberal ideology in a nutshell. Unsolvable contradictions, because there’s no method behind their world analysis, which in turn becomes a blank canvas for conservatives and fascists to abuse it.

I’m really skeptical he’ll succeed on maintaining power after losing (if he does). Like Trump, he does not have any meaningful support even in the Army to pull something crazy…

Ahhh the first world privileges… Here on third world, nationalization of resources means some Freedom lessons on economics, followed by embargoes and possibly political destabilization.

Meta and all other virtual/crypto trends are just capitalism creating new markets to profit from speculation.

Whether it works or not, it’s just an afterthought.

Rule No. 1 of geography you learn when you are 10: don’t use blue on maps unless it’s water

Add the trees chopped as victims of communism and also add the planted tress as victims too, cause why the fuck not

Annexation of Canada is certainly not the modus operandi of USA imperialism. It seems to me that USA is in a much more comfortable position having Canada as a vassal state, rather than dealing with the hassle of annexing a new population to the Union. Maybe a strong cooperation union of economies, like the EU, is more likely to happen. Both countries keep their autonomy in paper, and USA can have better control of Canada economy (just like Germany and France have on the countries of the EU).

Imperial bootlicker gonna lick.

My guilty pleasure and go-to background noise movie. Books really hit or miss for me. Read once and never again. On a side note, that last movie of Fantastic Beasts where they try to force a political plot is the quintessential of liberal bullshit, if anyone wants to cringe hard.

Liberals are in a strange situation in Brazil right now (pres. election), since Bolsonaro stink too much for their tastes (if it was a white collar fascist in his place, every lib and their mother would love our tropical fascist).

Some libs are feeling dispassionate and won’t vote either candidate. And btw, Lula is usually the moderate lib or a social democrat in his best days. So, is really telling how’s the mental gymnastics to create a false equivalency between the two.

The other group of libs are showing their true colors and voting Bolsonaro, embracing their true fascist nature. And the last group are probably the more sane, which will vote Lula to out Bolsonaro.

All in all, just another day in a capitalist democracy: libs complaining to the air or giving veiled support to the fascist, while the nation is on the brink of total collapse.

Strange take. World is racist. Racism is a capitalist issue. As long as capitalism is around, we can’t get rid of it.

I really don’t get anarchism sometimes. I mean, if you played 5 minutes of any RTS game you realize humans need to work to change nature and produce things.

The premise of anti work is a shitty one anyway, if you ask me. In socialism people will have to work to survive.

What people want can change and it’s never a good measure of anything in geopolitics. At the end of the day it’s a matter of who has the biggest stick and whether they want it to use it or not. The US and its vassals, have huge economic interest in Taiwan (electronic chips) and political too (weaken China), so China can’t do much, unless they want to risk a global crisis.

History matters. A Chinese invasion for annexation would be totally different than what happened in any of the colonization process of the Americas. Just like Russian x Ukraine. The history leading to the invasion matters too.

At least asoiaf subverts a lot of fantasy tropes. Aristocracy is more grounded on reality and it shows that regardless of who’s in charge, people still live a shitty life. Tolkien is almost Disney-like. If you are ruled by the rightful and just king/queen, then it’s all rainbows and sunshines.
