EVERY FUCKING ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION!

most people would die in that situation. Maybe one would come with a gun and able to shoot the lock off from the other side at the cost of deafening everyone inside. I wonder if the steel container acts as a faraday cage that would prevent them from making a call out.

It seems pretty well researched, but he seemed to group all "populist" groups together kind of displaying a kind of liberalism. Also he traces things in terms of tropes in an idealist manner like a liberal rather than a materialist.

Thanks. Now I know about British Israelism and how absolutely insane their worldview is. Its a way to square the circle of worshiping the god of the Jewish people that protects the descendants of Abraham, yet not be Jewish. The people that call themselves Jews are not really Jews. We are the real Jews. LOL.

Their god allows "chosen people" to enslave and genocide others. They are truly a blight upon this earth.

I do admit that I think how social media works is to presume anything you hear on facebook or shitter as false unless proven otherwise.

Does anyone here think they have a good heuristic to determine if anything on a social media website is true? Can we progress dialectically towards the truth with social media or does the system motivate liars to double down on falsehoods? If it were possible for us to own social media can social media be made to encourage truth telling and punish liars?

Well most of china's production is for countries outside itself so the pollution of that production is for the consumption of other nations. Also their population is the highest in the world, so to feed their domestic population's needs It will naturally produce more polution. Considering these factors makes their past and current pollution not sound so bad.

To be even more based, they are looking to the future so now that the factory of the world is going to have a more environmentally friendly production of energy domestically. This will result in more environmentally friendly production for all goods produced globally. I hope they spread more ecologically friendly technology production through the belt and road initiative to develop wealth in an ecologically sound manner.

Aldus Huxley. Required reading in some American high schools. It is supposed to be dystopian.

A horseshoe theory dystopian novel about the world colonized by industry. People worship Ford. Do this drug called "soma" all the time. Everyone expected to take part in orgies in a hetero-normative society. Everyone is expected to partake in pleasure. Nobody is born from women anymore, they just in vitro fertilize human egg and sperm in a machine, then put trauma on the fetus based on what caste the fetus needs to be born into, the baby is raised till they are children and the children are encouraged to play naked and have sex

I'm sure you'd hate it.

I'm curious about your position on erotic drawings, literature, cartoons, or tapes of oneself sent to a lover. I don't see how porn made without that kind of exploitation is inherently bad. (I am ok with banning rape and loli porn). I can understand what is wrong with porn on the production phase, but not the consumer phase.

Is there a demonstrated tradeoff? If you don't want to masturbate, just don't. I don't think anyone except the worst kind of coomer wants to live in Brave New World.

Yes. Porn is bad. It should be discouraged.

Porn made under capitalism is not entirely consensual and often abusive in other ways.

It's cute to say to ban porn as a communist because its not like we have the ability to change much (in the imperialist nations....... yet).

Porn can be produced consentually when all of the needs of the sex workers can be met and they can produce it of their own just because they want to. not just because they have to.
