It would escalate badly.
The US population doing violent resistance proposition right now. Non-violent resistance, by its turn, looks like a low-stakes move with high odds.
But hey, I’m also just another foreigner that won’t take part in anything they do, so I don’t really know anything. I’m just waiting for the non-violent protest tomorrow in my own country, against our own problems.
Yeah, I don’t know how well their supply lines would cope against basically the entire world. But it’s still scary.
The US has been clearly moving downhill since 2001. But the acceleration they got this year has been incredible.
And for everybody not there, remember they have the largest nuclear arsenal on Earth.
Disney is now a Nazi collaborator.
It’s actually not very far from the depiction.
At the same time, the US has been denying people from receiving or making payments all the time for a couple of decades.
Looks like they planned 5 seasons, but could only make 2. So they made 4 story arcs on the second season.
That second phrase can be useful information…
How many double-sized hamburgers is it? 600?
IMO, the visual is perfect.
But the way they used the character is a complete disaster, and they made sure he would never be used well by killing him, and more permanently by turning him good.
At the end of the day all governments are desperately afraid of making people angry (at them), from the healthiest democracy to the most totalitarian dictatorship
One would think so. But a quick glance at Russia, or even the current US one would show you otherwise.
Most governments don’t seem to pay a lot of attention to it. Democracies tend to be the most concerned ones, but it still varies a lot.
China seems very stable to me. Their government is afraid of making people angry, and removing basic help like that is very likely to make people angry.
But also, it seems to me that the “generally” in “generally free” is doing some work. AFAIK, some care is free, some care isn’t. And the pretty good quality of life doesn’t seem to be universally distributed. Both of those seem to be improving quickly, but the “people are better than in the US” impression one may take from that comment seems to be a misrepresentation.
I would rather joke on the irony and not support his message.
I get where you are going, but even ironical support for those people cause is prone to backfire.
We used to have this satirical news site here in Brazil that when reality was absurd enough just published the news.
Then Bolsonaro won, and since their site was entirely real news, people stopped reading them…
There’s probably a site somewhere where you paste it and it gives you the sound.
Google translate seems to not have the phonetic alphabet, but there’s probably something out there that has it.
AFAIK, everybody is insulted by it. How would one know anyway? Look at the heavily censored social media?
No idea who you are talking about, but it’s well known that we have a really large and complex neuron structure spread through our digestive system.
Nobody calls it a brain just because it’s not an organ.
Oh, so I misremembered that.
Wasn’t he one of the people burned alive?
It kinda is.
There exist a hierarchy of needs, it’s a subjective one but all people share a large part of it. There also exists a very objective and measurable hierarchy of production.
Interpreting that as “low-herarchy factors are X” is useless and dishonest unless X means “things we need to prioritize in a crisis”. And saying any of that comes from Marxism or any kind of communist theory is just bullshit.
