The thing is that we’ve gone through multiple generations of new owners each thinking a bit more than the last. Now they know how to appear decent while continuing to exploit earth, humans and other animals.

And people keep voting for their puppets.

I’m truly amazed that this was ever a thing. The US is a case study of destroying value while raising GDP.

Expected as the only real value of reddit are its users and the content they generate.

Me on soul calibur

I have a full bladder and his grave seems like a great place to take care of it.

Proud of Guterres’ courage. We share a country and an alma mater and that also makes me proud.

This is something I’m getting back to appreciating as I get older. Just listening to music. Vinyl also helps the experience because of the whole ritual of putting on a record.

Judaism is not Zionism and vice versa

My definition? What is my definition of tolerance?

Nearly a century ago? You’re a math genius, by your standards I’m turning 100 already.

The “open society” book was written with fascism as a background and as a reaction to it. But, of course - if only we had debated a bit more with fascists…

Go back to watching Peterson clips.

With the Netanyahu government, that’s the more plausible explanation.

You cannot be tolerant to intolerance if you want a tolerant society.

How would you describe it?

Those are centrist talking points, not sure if you’re aware. Any step that dismantles capitalism is met with “too extreme” or “unfeasible”. The Overton window is too far to the right.

I think he wanted bosses’ - plural and possessive

Sounds fantastic!

The extreme poverty one is laughable especially when criteria to define extreme poverty is ridiculous. Extreme poverty in places where you earn less than $1.90 but can still have subsistence farming and community doesn’t make sense - also if living in San Francisco and earning $2/day isn’t extreme poverty… I don’t know what is.

Poverty shouldn’t be tied to capital but to standards of living - that would be a completely different story.

Rest assured, I’m from Lisbon and all family is as well. I never thought of any place in Portugal as “inbred” (other stereotypes apply to different regions though). Love the Azores, btw.

You’re taking an authoritarian perspective. Fair, but I disagree. Tolerance is important because we as a society grow and evolve due to the discussion of ideas, simple or complex as they may be.

The paradox is that to achieve a tolerant society we must be absolutely intolerant to intolerant ideas otherwise intolerance “wins” and becomes the norm.
