Well TIL. But to call it liberation isn’t correct. America is also kidnapping people from their homes and work places but to say of another country was to invade and take a territory wouldn’t be the same as liberation. Liberation has a higher standard where the people of the land receive sovereignty and a self-determined government.
Y’all are desperate to relive the glory days of WW2 when it was clear who the baddies were. I get it, Americans do the same.
Conscription has always violated human rights but there are certainly better words like “conquer”. And let’s not pretend Russia isn’t also conscripting men (though certainly not those in their 50s).
Ehh, it is not that our dopamine receptors are fried. We are all wired to seek out information. But most of what we get is starving us for actual useful information so we have to wade through an endless sea of slop. The “instant gratification” is largely us not wanting to deal with the bullshit and get straight to what is useful.
That would mean admitting they did something wrong, which is impossible for these ghouls.
Wish they’d pray for forgiveness because then that would mean admitting mistakes.
A bad analogy is a license to be pedantic.
It’s not like the Nazis ever received the majority of the votes. Funny to see us blaming the votes of that time.
There are about ~3000 billionaires. Or a billionaire every minute.
I mean churches should be anticapitalist and before the turn of the last century they often were. But then property got expensive and churches would need loans… Now we have prosperity gospel and mega churches. The internet ran the same course but in just a couple decades.
Aside from the systemic reasons why the internet leans heavily right: when you deport people’s neighbors then politics is no longer a sports game and even the nonvoters understand this.
As if they aren’t saving that chats for review and ingestion into their training set.

When you trade stocks, you’re betting that you’re smarter than the person you’re trading with.
Being a billionaire is like staying alive long enough to be a villain. They were great at something but nothing justifies holding that much power for so long.
Also introduced voucher schools because he didn’t want teachers telling him laptops won’t solve education
Was the paper optimizing for multiple objectives? Sounds like this project is pursuing some features that haven’t been proven
It’s important to understand that any argument against improving one’s material conditions is going to be rightfully ignored. Better to point out that without removing the yoke of power, any concessions can be easily removed.
Yet roads and lines of communication make a socialist transition more likely. Almost like the material conditions matter, regardless of the political context.
Maybe there’s a better example but the point remains, liberating a people comes with self-determination. It’s not a matter of how little rights the people had before the military action.
