Thank you, very interesting!

You might say things like:“This is evil, because it’s wrong to…” But I think it wouldn’t be right to describe Israels actions as evil by arguing ethics. The scope of evil from Israel is so utterly inhumane and depraved, that it transcendeds being judged by any standard.

Utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, none of these ethical systems can dare to evaluate Israel. Instead, any ethical system, that philosophers propose should first be tested on wether it makes any sense, by checking, if it describes Israel as absolutely evil. That’s like the baseline calibration standard for ethics. Like Hitler used to be. If your ethical system leads you to support Israel in any way, it’s immediately clear, that you need to trash the system and start from scratch.

Cuba on place 150, that’s ridiculous. Also on any map about human rights, Israel should be a hole, that’s been burned right through the map with still smoldering black edges. Evil is so ridiculously concentrated there, that it should explode any scale.

Exactly. They just stumble around aimlessly and confused, occasionally falling for a corrupt politician or a crypto scam or whatever and being lead down a metaphorical cliff before emerging again even more confused and more angry.

Why aren’t the people with money spending money?

Because they are already fat, happy and living a life of constant luxury filled with exciting distractions. You can only have so many servants in your third mansion or on your second private jet before they start getting in the way. So they invest most of their money instead of spending it, thereby making even more money by extracting our labor.

Thanks! I quickly found a PDF.

The Duolingo Spanish podcast actually has an episode that depicts Castros literacy program in a purely positive light: Una maestra en botas tells the story of a young woman who volunteered. Every volunteer got a scholarship as a reward.

The podcast “Revolutionary Left Radio” has 20 episodes on this exact topic.

Stalinism is not a real sect, is it? Just a word used by trotzkyists as a slur. Are there any parties calling themselves stalinist(instead of anti revisionist)? Stalin was Marxist Leninist.

The German chancellor said weapon sales would be partially restricted but didn’t specify in which way and when that would start.

Yep, that’s why I never cared about them or content about them and still don’t.

Oh no, where will ordinary folks get all their 1 kg gold bars now? They have so many uses in daily life. Like as a paper weight, to press flowers or to hold doors open, just to name a few. Bars with sharp edges can also be used to scrape dirt from your boots after a long hard work day.

Which keywords can I search for to find out more about all those things? I tried “gdr poison attempt” for example, but couldn’t find anything. Links would be great too, but don’t want to trouble anyone.

Depression lies to you about yourself. It makes you think bad things about you that just aren’t true. That’s a fact. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help. For reflecting on how learned toxic masculinity hurts oneself and others, the book “The Will to Change” by Bell Hooks is a great start.

That was just a metaphor. An event horizon is different from the Hubble radius in several ways.

Actually you wouldn’t notice anything special crossing the event horizon. You’d just continue to fall.

Makes you wonder why only one beetle does this. Were the adaptions necessary to survive the digestive acid really complex or really unlikely, maybe?

Maybe we should all read this book or something similar together. Burnout - The Emotional Experience of Political Defeat

Yes, when war comes to Europe, it’s coming home.

I agree. Direct contact with people from oppressed nations might be an antidote to the racist empathy gap.
