War Within

The dumber a civilization is, the more sense God makes.

Honestly I don’t think sports cars should be legal, they’re so inefficient.

Yeah, that’s not the thing.

I literally don’t know of a single way to do that

Before anyone can have VR or a sports car.

Not even God is awake by then.

I really don’t like what copyright leaves us with.

It’s pretty common to tell depressed or struggling people that things get better/easier, as if it happens passively and they just need to stick around, just hold out.

Rapists and muggers might belong in the same tier, but thieves and vandals should largely be in a lower tier of sentencing. Maybe with the exception of seriously harmful vandalism.

Anyone who played football as a kid knows this.

It means I open the site, and I can’t read the article because it had some obligatory signup.

Granted, this was on mobile. On desktop it seems I can read it.

I don’t care.

The site doesn’t want readers, I’m gonna go back to reading memes.

We can choose to either provide for those who lack food, housing, and other things, or we can choose not to. We often choose not to despite having both sufficient food and shelter.

We can also choose to pursue the goal of making the poor independent.

But if we choose to leave people unprovided for, that is just what we have chosen. There is no way around that.

Making the poor independent is a separate project, in the same vein as making people stop being violent, or unhealthy, or depressed, or sick. An eternal pursuit , with a curious caveat. Because in the case of the poor, if the population of dependent poor die off while the newly improved Independent population remains, it would be a success. No more dependants is the goal, quite literally. It is treated more like ridding ourselves of leeches.

Because contribution is demanded, no matter how banale, cynical, useless, performative or downright harmful. Marketing, manipulation, waste and serving up garbage is all much better than the insufficiently productive poor. Learn to weld, only to make giant steel flower beds to decorate an apartment building, supply the ridiculous demand. Supplying something is the point, regardless of how necessary the demand is.

There’s also the matter that we’ve chosen very explicitly to disallow the poor any power to simply leave the city and establish their of towns of rejects with the materials that exist in nature, as harvesting huge quantities of wood and clay without permissions – unlikely to be obtained – is expressly illegal. Apparently we have to, to protect the environment from people. But it’s not civilization’s responsibility to rectify that injustice, is it? It can just disallow you your shelter and leave it at that. Civilization does not have to compensate a man for the option it has taken away from him.

Nursing/Kindergarten or something? Isn’t that about that high?

I saw this “cool guide” a few weeks ago on the front of Lemmy and people were dissecting it in the comments back then, too.

I personally took interest in the silencer misrepresentation.

Overall it’s a pretty stupid, simple comic gimmick by Bright Side. Bright Side are not proficient educators, they just excel at pumping out vast quantities of garbage “educational” content. /u/Blaze@sopuli.xyz should not have shared it.

Idiot.

I mean it still works for getting attention, but it’s not exactly respectable and there are some people who really don’t like them.

I literally just told you how the comic applies.

The left leaning parties are liberals and the center are fascists, they’re keeping real leftists out. None of the “left wing” parties in France are trying to start a revolution in the streets to take power. They’re all too happy sitting there, just being in power… It’s pathetic.
