This is what communism looks like

Could be the shifting demographics. That many more people concerned with what's happening at home

Takes the same amount of effort to draw, but the energy needed to hold and therefore aim is substantially less. They normally refer to 'let off' in the specifications. 75% let off means that with a 100lb bow, once you get to a specific point in the draw, you're only holding 25lbs.

I can't believe I forgot about that episode! There's two that deal with this subject!

Lol he did! There's an episode about it! (9th episode of season 8)

I think we should start co-opting their points. Academia is broken! Let's fix it!

I've seen a lot of stuff on the left about the election that's largely positive. Let's keep that

I listened to one of her podcasts, and she comes across as so genuine. I can totally see why people listen to her.

I'm very mistrusting of anyone online that calls them self an anarchist. I spent some time on some anarchist subreddits some time ago. They were pretty toxic and would throw out reasonable opinions because they didn't align with their personal theory. The ones I've met in person are reasonable compassionate people that are more likely to take people's opinions and view them as valuable. I sometimes picture the real difference between the theories as a top down vs bottom up approach. Marxist states shouldn't exist when communism is achieved, and that's pretty anarchist. It's more about how to get there. We shouldn't be fighting about that.

Well said. The real difference is Marxists want the transitional state while anarchists see that transitional state as problematic as well. My clumsy analogy is socdems vs socialists

I largely agree with you. My sticking point is the 'anarchists want to be liked by liberals'. The anarchists I know acknowledge that working with the commies is how to move forward. At least commies acknowledge the importance of mutual aid and community. Liberals don't. No one likes a liberal

TIL a lot of people have a hate boner for anarchists.... Wow

From an anarchist perspective, the state is the problem. From an anarchist perspective, every state ends in some type of abuse towards citizens. The Soviet Union was a collection of states. I don't disagree with you, but I think there's also a theory reason. Keep up the good fight

I'm not happy with Trump, but I feel like Trump's the better choice on the ww3 issue. How many us presidents didn't start a new war? I can only think of one

This was a referendum on biden. People don't like him. They voted him out, and at every opportunity Harris showed that besides the gender, age and race, they were the same person

MSM: why would we cover third parties between election cycles? That's ridiculous. General population: These people only pop up when it's time to get elected! It's all a grift.

With next to no theory in it

My friend did this in the 00's. I was using that as an example of how being white holds cultural cache in china. Explaining why a bunch of randoms, might center a white guy in their pictures.

I know a white guy who was hired to act in a wine commercial because he's white. He was teaching English in China. He said it was because having a white person gave some cache to the commercial. Apparently, some white people are hired for parties to raise the social capital of the host. I think that's what you got caught up in. Looks like fun though

This is a reasonable response by someone trying to stop an escalation. The guy that's got no power to stop an escalation, but can hope that some Iranian can read between the lines. The guy that made that statement is probably not who I'm talking about

Thanks for sharing. I was able to find it from a different site
