The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone. – Frank Wilhoit

There are paradoxes in the system, but rest assured that these religions, the Abrahamic ones and other World religions, are all conservative in their construction.

You are not going to find the answers to the paradoxes, you’re not going to find the equilibrium. I’m certainly not going to give you the solutions in some obscure comment, this kind of stuff requires shelves of books and papers.

Note that if you think the satire magazine is some dangerous fascist organization posting their propaganda in order to recruit for an underground militia type organization, you have to prove that. It’s not too difficult to prove or disprove, but that can be a skill in of itself, something all moderators everywhere should have.

Here’s one of their covers satirizing French racists:

“Islamists” are politically far-right - paleoconservatives, theocrats, fascists.

Welcome to dangerous bullshit awareness. Strap in and start reading, it’s going to get worse.

Naomi Klein has a bunch of nice contemporary books to start to get a grasp on it. I don’t know^* of a book that’s specific to your case, but I hope that you’ll understand that you’re case is not that specific.

LET’S GOOOO

Aside from that. Accessibility standards are hardly considered even now and I’d rather install a generated audio version option with some audio poisoning to mess with the AIs listening to it.

I’ve been thinking for a while about how a text-oriented website would work if all the text in the database was rendered as SVG figures.

“NOM” is an onomatopoeic term for eating (an eating sound).

And they will use every tool like media, social media, TV, film, and more to keep us that way.

You forgot about the giant holy cow in the room.

For instance, even in a doomsday scenario (for them) of the French Revolution, the rich will have personal security guards. These people will be paid very well (relative to the general population), which will keep them loyal enough. They will eat at secure restaurants (similar deal), and enjoy activities in secure locations.

In a collapse scenario, their money will be worthless.

It’s certainly part of the catabolic stage in the system’s decay. Due to many reasons, both at the input side and the “drowning in waste” side (example: GHGs waste causing climate destabilization), growth is going to falter which means that the “sharing” strategy of the rich, of the oligarchs, is going to stop working. You may know it as “grow the pie” (instead of “share the pie”). The rich get richer, the rest get poorer, and there are going to be a lot of poor people. That means a lot of desperate people and a lot of people with nothing left to lose.

What you have to watch out for is perhaps two strategies that can stop this:

1. Scapegoating: vulnerable minorities and more. The rich of a certain ethnicity may become the scapegoats, instead of … you know, ALL of that class. This would be a misdirection of attention.
2. Jingoism, chauvinism and various forms of ultra-nationalism. This would be a misdirection of violence… instead of “punching up”, it becomes “punching the foreign threat”, which means war.
3. Combined 1 & 2. It’s usually called fascism.

Something to print:

On a related note, I really liked the recent season of “Arcane” (both seasons are great). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11126994/

When and why did the British first choose to invade India? - India Today

The British first landed in India in Surat for the purpose of trade. Here’s how and why a simple trading company, the British East India Company, became one of the biggest challenges the subcontinent had ever dealt with.

The British landed in India in Surat on August 24, 1608. While India has a rich and recorded history going back 4000 years to the Indus Valley Civilisation in Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, Britain had no indigenous written language until the 9th century almost 3000 years after India. Then how was it possible for the British to start capturing this huge country and control it from 1757 to 1947?

Good point.

“Doctors nationwide are questioning what is so difficult about enacting a law for our security,” Dhruv Chauhan, from the Indian Medical Association’s Junior Doctors’ Network, told the Press Trust of India news agency. “The strike will continue until all demands are formally met.”

Based.

It wasn’t unique, it wasn’t a “one off”. The unique framing appeals to conservatives as it feeds into exceptionalism and impunity. “We’re special!” It’s those people who only care about stuff when it happens to them. Same as with abortions and “The only moral abortion is my abortion”.

Fundamentally, this is evidence of the failure to generalize learning (what learning is for), a grand failure of intelligence.

Israel is a semi-autonomous US military base and state.

They’re artificial volcanoes/geysers.

I clarified how it depends. The answer was “it depends”, which is a very displeasing answer, so I skipped a step.

You add the repairs to the price.

If you’re creating a luxury house/apartment, well, the word “luxury” is already there.

This isn’t about people getting a place to live, this is speculation, like Bitcoin, but with housing. There’s a mass of people buying housing to commodify it by selling it later at a huge price or by renting it out. This mass of people got scammed by housing developers who promised to deliver the apartment or house (at a good quality). Unfortunately, that didn’t happen; developers ran ponzi schemes. They used investors’ money to start new constructions and attract new investors, and stopped working on the old constructions or finished them poorly with bad materials.

This is how capitalism works unregulated. So the small investors fucked around trying to become petite bourgeoisie, and they’re finding out the beauty of capitalism.

I know this is hard to hear for Americans, but if you’re making money from being a landlord or flipping houses, you’re a piece of shit.

Bailing out these investors would be like bailing out Bitcoin “common people” investors when the “currency” crashes.
