Good praxis

But in a response to her visa application, the Home Office told Ashkar that it had been denied on the grounds that granting it would “harm the public interest”, without giving any further reasons or explanation.

It’s part of a shifting norm and shifting norms are always controversial. Especially norms that involve opening up bodily autonomy, dignity, or respect to previously excluded groups.

A third take: Authoritarian groups have been historically successful in wiping out (usually by force) less authoritarian groups and their methods of organizing.

This is not a right wing resource, but if you’re interested in learning about the arguments and historical evolution of ideas that underpin economic liberalism/neoliberalism, I highly recommend Geoff Mann’s Disassembly required : a field guide to actually existing capitalism. It’s concise, relatively short, and treats the ‘other’ side like rational actors (which is important for understanding, I think).

Ofc this would only help understand people who are quite well informed.

If I was in politics or was looking to get into politics in the future, I would be trying to get arrested publicly for this. Look at the people who got arrested during the civil rights movement.

The nazi party used a lot of euphemism surrounding their genocide plan and a lot of german citizens claimed afterwards they didn’t know the extent of it (davon haben wir nichts gewusst), but the antisemitism was immediately visible obviously what with the kidnapping. The camps—a bit less so, but a lot of historians feel they were more of an open secret than a secret. It was definitely less globally visible than what’s happening in Palestine though and the international community was justifiably outraged when they saw the extent and brutality of the camps.

It boggles my mind to think multiple humans in a boardroom somewhere okayed this at some point. For babies.

Yeah god definitely waited until 1400 years ago to give out the -real- rules, and this made the list?

Democracy was dead from the beginning, the ‘founding fathers’ were afraid of the masses and the structure of the government is a reflection of that. On top of that the dominance of political parties (which George Washington warned against) makes it essentially impossible to vote for someone who generally shares your interests which is what you’re supposed to be doing in a democracy.

IMO a relatively big college, especially a public college, makes even isolated towns feel kind of urban which could be what you’re picking up on. This is as opposed to a suburb or a rural town where you’re expected to look and act roughly the same as everyone else. Having a large transitional population (of young people) changes their speed.

This version is canon now

I don’t like U2 either

This reminds me of when genetic researchers found that the human genome contains less genes than a tomato

I make loose leaf tea in a nespresso, what am I?

Some of the more metro ones often have tool libraries, art you can rent, and other neat misc resources too.

Edit: also free trips to local museums or zoos/aquariums

Based on scanning wiki and a couple articles and seeing nothing about construction quality aside from unfinished projects, definitely not an authority

It looks to me like there are a fair amount of finished homes with fine construction that are vacant due to this whole thing. Many weren’t completed but many were.

Oh I see, didn’t realize the construction quality was terrible:( So it was a sham the whole time? I thought they just didn’t think through the locations which made the housing useless (no work within reasonable commute).

They should start a couple utopian city experiments in those ghost suburbs they built way outside cities. Offer housing and a vision and put some academics in charge so we can learn something.
