I always smile at young kids if they meet my eye in public. Feeling loved and like you’re in a safe stable community is an invaluable part of growing up and I hope that all kids can feel a small amount of that from me.

I’m a gen-z-er and I remember those. Relatively poorer area though so it may be related

Also with the space and cost that’s saved from not having cars you could have completely covered bike lanes

Communists all over the world doing their best to make it a better place!

Anarchists too

Pu’er is my favorite. Strong aromatic earthy flavors are my jam. Love the stuff

Chai tea in English refers to a generally similar blend of spiced tea. Stop pretending to be an idiot and not understanding that. You’re not smarter than other people for knowing trivial information about the origin of an adopted word.

I believe so. I think there was a big thing about European settlers introducing beavers to Peru or northern Chile and causing ecological havoc

Haha get it Chinese president man with yellow bear! Haha

Squirrel is tasty and the bastards should be eaten more often

No rednecks in here bringing up eating squirrel? For shame.

It’s not exotic in the traditional sense, it’s a pretty universal animal, but it’s not commonly eaten so I’ll share. It’s pretty gamey and lean but the flavor is still pretty good. I think it’s rather tasty pan fried and served with biscuits and gravy.

But isn’t the whole message that the windmills are an imagined problem not a real one like cars? Or am I missing a layer of this?

For me it’s my like for religious Christmas music.

We washed a person’s feet before doing a special religious service project. Essentially like you said, to humble the self and focus on the act and God. Of course the project was really bad in terms of morality but I do think ritual aspects of religion feel nice. As someone said, people are cultural and engaging in acts and symbolism feels good.

It’s not though man…

It fundamentally breaks when ideologies which agree on issues are shown as diverging when others don’t. If you’re really a communist you should understand this as idealist nonsense which can’t actually reflect the complexities of political thought. “Libertarian” thought is also that which supports indentured servitude. Do “libertarian socialists” agree with that? No I sure hope not.

This is a fundamental breakdown of that depiction of politics and the fact that you still reference it as a “useful tool” betrays the incoherence of your politics.

Since you seemed to reply in earnest, I’ll link this and highly suggest you watch it. Even if you don’t end up agreeing, I think it lays out the crux of the issue with human rights as an idea in a clear concise manner. It’s only 20 minutes long and it’s well put together.

I’d go point by point through your post (which I did read) but I’m swamped with work and shit.
