You can play something like dota with people on a very basic computer and okayish connection. You'll always find matches too.
*you don't remember Poland sending rockets into illegally occupied Poland before the invasion.
Fixed that for you
It almost makes you wonder why they would send rockets into the illegally occupied West Bank.
Oh well, I'm sure its just because they're racist against Jewish people and the event happened in a vaccume.
A recent Cochrane review examining 35 studies investigating the effect of speed cameras on speed and collisions concluded that although the quality of the studies was moderate at best, the consistency of all studies to report a positive reduction in either speed or collisions was impressive
That's 35 for and one against, due to heavily manipulating no less than 5 different variables, in order to force themselves to have to conclude that speed cameras don't improve safety.
Read your links folks!
What is also true is that its the mentality of a depressive who views hope as a dangerous delusion, as had been said a fair few times now.
It is lashing out, as you can't refute it or engage it.
Dismissing a legitimate observation of our society as a silly caricature is a far more silly caricature of someone who just doesn't like what they're hearing.
Existence is measured in money, under capitalism. Why would you lying about it and not meaning make any difference? As long as you're doing what you were paid to do, it would have the same appearance and the same effect. I would take the money too, as its the most important thing in society and existance is measured in it. Thats the point here. Why would I care what was in your heart of hearts?
No, none of the other systems survived an attack by a system that cannot tolerate any alternatives to live unmolested. Had any of them failed of their own accord, you might have a point there. You can't shoot someone in the leg and then declare that their claims of being able to run didn't survive an encounter with reality.
Trying to improve capitalism has never survived an encounter with reality. All it did was make the rich richer.
Capitalism didn't improve feudalism. Firstly, capitalism grew out of merchantislism. Secondly, merchantislism had to be forced on people who had been robbed of their homes and were facing starvation. Had they any other option than starving, they would have stuck with feudalism.
The first paragraph is literally the same "I can't justify capitalism but the others are worse" argument again.
The society we live in is an employment based, market fundamentalist society. It just used to be a different kind of fundamentalist theocratic rule is all.
Instead of lashing out and calling it a silly caricature, you can just say "I just plain don't like that." It would have had the same effect.
That being said, how much money would it take for you to change your mind about existence being measured in terms of money alone being a silly caricature? Even if you were the type to give it all away, eventually, we would find a number. Not only that, you'd be a multi millionaire and, as such, on that basis alone, your existence would be judged as an inherently good one.
The difference being that one is well documented history and the one isn't.
If it wasn't the CIA, it would probably be someone one. You don't have to take it as a personal insult, if you don't want to. Especially as it wasn't meant as one.
Thanks for explaining what a market is.
Its a good job we have such a thing to tell us that what we really want is to work most of our lives, mostly for someone else benefit, to endlessly produce things to a point that it destroys our planets ability to sustain life. Without such a devine oracle, we might have to ask difficult questions about what we're doing and for whos benefit.
Its a good to know there must be such a high demand for inequality too. Without the justification of the invisible hand, we might have to think about morals and other gross stuff.
But, as you make such a good point about not being able to get rid of something and just making a black market for it, as justificationfor keeping the market in its current state
Well, that and slavery of course. If the argument works for one it works for both.
People's theory is just fine. The problem for you is that they kept reading theory that was written after thr 1970s.
I'd say facsism is just capitalism when you try to say no.
As in literally, people tried to say no via socialism and then fascism was invented.
It is a wonder how this can go on. I live in London and I, like most people, can have weed delivered, just as you would a pizza flavours and all.
Most people who've been on the internet long enough are aware of the CIA flooding the US with crack in the 80s. They thing most people don't realise is that the CIA have also run the global heroin game since the 1940s too. The crack in the 80s job was neither the first nor the largest time they did it. For anyone interested, Google operation gladio.
Heroin was grown in Myanmar, moved out through Thailand, shipped to France where it either ended up with the mob in the US or flooded into eroupe all under the protection of the CIA. Myanmar was the largest supplier of heroin in the world, right up until Afghanistan took the title in the 2010s.
I know right?
It make no sense at all why the UK wouldn't legalise weed. Well, that is, it makes no sense at all, right up until the second you stop presuming any kind of good faith. The second you stop, then, as if by magic, everything clicks into place.
At some point we need to have a grown up conversation about the finite nature of land, specifically land that people can live on and find work from.
This "the rich make up the rules and lets pretend land will never run out" nonsense clearly isn't working for anyone but the rich.
Great if you own property and or buy labour though.
Somehow they've got the world convinced that its "tha left", and not wealthy businesses, who want and benefit from this, despite all evidence to the contrary.
Harm to yourself and or others is usually the red line, in most countries.
Thats fair, advertising and marketing departments traditionally tend to fair far better under capitalist systems.
(Capitalism is a) brutal state of affairs, profoundly inegalitarian - where all existence is evaluated in terms of money alone - is presented to us as ideal. To justify their conservatism, the partisans of the established order cannot really call it ideal or wonderful. So instead, they have decided to say that all the rest is horrible. Sure, they say, we may not live in a condition of perfect Goodness. But we're lucky that we don't live in a condition of Evil. Our democracy is not perfect. But it's better than the bloody dictatorships. Capitalism is unjust. But it's not criminal like Stalinism. We let millions of Africans die of AIDS, but we don't make racist nationalist declarations like Milosevic. We kill Iraqis with our airplanes, but we don't cut their throats with machetes like they do in Rwanda, etc.
Edit: In this they take on the posture of a severely depressed person who views hope as a dangerous delusion.
Much like in real life, see them off with large groups of light cavalry. Meet them on their own terms with something that can chase them down and mob them.
Edit: but yeah, I find them to be largely ineffective or game breaking and nothing in-between.
They'll dead ass look you in the eye and tell you that the colour red doesn't exist, without a single fuck given.
So telling me trump has said hell stop the genocide?
