The nationalism, the colonial centric pedagodgy, class disparity, industrial poisoning of local communities, and thats just in the first 3 episodes of the season. Episode 3 has some good materialism.

Avatar has a lot to say. Its a good show.

because real estate agents simply won’t sell to them.

It's also because our state and local officials either A) completely misunderstand how to distribute Low-Income Housing Credits or B) Have a full understanding of the consequences of concentrating poverty within a central location via Low-Income Housing Credits, and do it anyway.

If you do not spread the LIHCs around your state / city within “High Opportunity” areas, you just compound the poverty. When you stack poor people on top of poor people under the guise of “Well this area is full of poor people so let's designate more LIHC there because they need them.” you just create a multiplicative effect on the areas' poverty. No one can afford to patronize the businesses in the area, and no one living in the area can afford to open a business. Which means no local employment for the poor, and no local commerce for the poor. They have to travel for work, travel for groceries, travel for everything. This means they're either buying a car and maintaining it, or attempting to rely on dilapidated public transportation.

What you get are dens of poverty that actually make it even harder to rise out of poverty, and total segregation of a population that ultimately skews black and brown. The real estate agents hardly need to expend any energy to be racist when the structures they work inside of area doing most of the heavy lifting for them.

Hey bud, good effort but I ran your report through an "AI Detection" website and it said it was 89% positive you used AI to write this. I'm going to have to give you an F on the assignment unless you rewrite it again but in your own words.

I think I want to learn Esperanto

I'm not a language learner. It wasnt a requirement when I was a kid and in highschool I never had an interest. However, having just learned about it, and learned of its etheos and properties, I think it could be fun to learn. Helps that my partner is also interested.

Also, a stateless international language seems like a good fit as an international movement. A movement that is striving for international solidarity and a world without borders.

At a minimum, learning it would make Hitler spin in his grave:

As long as the Jew has not become the master of the other peoples, he must speak their languages whether he likes it or not., but as soon as they become his slaves, they would all have to learn a universal language (Esperanto, for instance!), so that by this additional means the Jews could more easily dominate them!

I wasn't looking for this clip, but it found me anyway. Scrubbing through this for something else, and boom, here this dude is. Having only just learned who LaRouche is, it's funny that I stumbled into this just now. Working through the TrueAnon podcast about him currently.

I got one friend who will not shut up about the MIC (military industrial complex). He'll go on and on about how much it ruins shit and how much is influenced by it. But concepts like Imperialism and its relationship to capitalism is some how beyond him. Instead its just "humans who are the problem"

The thing that I'm reminded of constantly is that there is a language we all use but all the words mean different things.

  • Capitalism
  • Imperialism
  • Fascism
  • Authoritarianism
  • Totalitarianism

I couldn't begin to tell you what I used to think these meant and what the people around me think they mean still. No one (save for one person in our group) would be bothered to read a book on the subject.

Like, the MIC comes from somewhere, if it pisses you off so much, wouldn't you want to understand it, so you can combat it?

Someone's got the list somewhere, right? The list of garbage from the Trump administration Biden hasn't done shit about?

  • border wall
  • title 42
  • Cuba

I know the list probably longer, help me out.

I've been getting a big vibe recently that Ethan has found his way into deep left water by association. He didn't get there through self reflection and education like most people do. The socialism episode of leftovers recently felt so disingenuous, and even hasan at times looked like he was bamboozled.

His crew is clearly more left than him. He isn't educated on his own political beliefs. He doesn't have a political framework to process reality through. He's just a reactionary with a lexicon of leftist shibboleths he can say to prime his audience with before saying totally reactionary shit.

His comments post Oct 7 are all the evidence you need. You can't defend his words by saying "he has a personal connection there." There are plenty of leftist in Israel who are more capable of empathy and reason. He grew up in America. He has been primed by 9/11 in the same way we all were. He lived there for five years. I can at least reason with Hila's experience, growing up in the colonel core, and their education system.

It just seems evident to me that his education stopped at some point and he never looked back, and now he's stuck surrounded by far more intelligent people.

Alright folks, time to get into the Taiwan flag business 📈 . I have a feeling the market is about to grow, anyone invested in Ukraine flags still is a fool! 📉

Lol man, every women I know has a story about being sexualized by an adult man when they were a child. Every, single, one. None of these men were considering wether it was the time and the place to shatter their innocence. That seems like more of a real threat then the "ideologies" of the Barbie movie.

I love how the Spector seems to imply an evil in the heads of most Normans. I see it in my friends group and I will admit I had heard the line in the past and thought the same. Then I decided to actually read instead of parrot and realized it's a Spector in the same literary sense as the Spectors from A Christmas Carol that haunt Ebenezer Scrooge.

The Spector of Communism exposes the world to the material realities of it's past and present, which lay the stones that lead to the grim shadows of a future yet to come. Shadows, dear reader, that we might change by leading an altered life.
