  • The ghoul does have a point. Educating the proletariat is not a precondition for revolution, but a literate, and educated proletariat does make radicalization easier.

    Hence why Russia, China, Cuba, All the successful socialist revolutions started educating people, and boosting literacy rates, as soon as they got into power.

    When you grant people access to education, which has typically served as a gateway, as a way to deny social advancement; and then people don't socially advance, they start to question the rest of the system. In my opinion, this is one reason that your average 20-year-old is far more skeptical of the capitalist regime, then your average 60-year-old. One grew up in an America where was possible to advance after gaining a highly subsidized education, the other went into extreme debt for an education that gives them nothing.



  • There's a reason the Constitution was written by a couple hundred of the richest, most powerful men, secluded from everyone else, and presented as a feint accompli to a weary population.

    I like to ask my most patriotic family members, if they would accept a modern Constitution written by Elon Musk, Mitch McConnell, Nancy pelosi, The Walton family, and George Soros. In secret. If they think such a document could truly protect their liberty. If they think such a document would actually safeguard them?

    And if not. Why CAN they trust the 18th century equivalent of Peter Thiel?



  • This is why Donald Trump has never run for a legislative seat.

    There's a big difference between chief executive, and legislator. One at least needs a passing familiarity with parliamentarian rules, motions, objections, that sort of nerd shit. The other needs to be able to make speeches, and act as a figurehead.

    That being said, I fully support Elon Musk becoming speaker of the House. Watching him crash&burn will bring me so much joy.










  • I personally credit it with saving my life, it is effective against extreme depression. But it's also not something I would recommend to anyone, unless they had it exhausted their other options. Using it for conversion therapy is barbaric. Using it for anyone that is not severely, overwhelmingly depressed, an immediate threat to themselves, and who is had no luck with more traditional treatment despite trying for months, is barbaric.

    I've heard that transcranial magnetic stimulation can be as or more effective re: depression without as much, brute force, but thankfully it's been a long time since I had to research this sort of thing.
