Also: Some people keep their positions that used to be progressive and find themselves on the conservative side much later. Example: If you are ok mixed race marriage, that used to be a progressive talking point and now is common sense. Gay marriages weren’t discussed in the slightest back than. If you don’t move, you find yourself on the edge of the Overton window one day.
“I spent years in prison because I killed school bullies. I had plenty time to think about it and realized that if I kill the bully, a new one will take their place. If I want to end all this, I have to kill the victims.”
When animals invade without the “help” of humans, it happens in a very different speed which the ecosystem can adapt to.
And even tho I made the joke, I wouldn’t say humans are the problem. Humans lived more or less “in harmony” with nature and then came colonialism and capitalism. Humans are capable of living differently, the market is not.
Yes, but never on an ecosystem endangering scale. Species go extinct, that’s what happens in nature all the time and humans were the cause in history and prehistory. But never on the scale of today.
If you have the mega fauna in mind: it’s very debated how big of an impact the humans had. There are different factors at play for sure, like changing climate. Was it really humanity that made the woollen mammoth go extinct at the end of the ice age?
You can’t meaningful separate these. Sure, capitalism is not mutually exclusive to say parliamentary democracy or dictatorship or monarchy, but you need a state that enforces the “will of the market”. Capitalism values property very highly. That’s a political decision. It allows a very hierarchical relation between workers and bosses by enforcing the property laws of the latter. At the end of the day, it’s the police (and therefore the state) that evicts you, not the landlord and not the market.
I see now where you are coming from but I never meant to say “violence is always the answer”. The comment above mine was about how incompatible capitalism and fascism are and if that were the case, Hitler would have been defeated by the market place of ideas
What is politics? People spend have their waking hours in a strict top down system, instead of a democratically organized economy. Tbf that’s not only true for Capitalism but also for Soviet style socialism.
For example, the market may “decide” that asbestos is the best insulation, however, the market does not set political policy about insulation.
The market is not the only aspect of capitalism. Plutocracy is another strong one. Being rich makes you influential in capitalism in contrast to systems where your ancestry is important or systems that try to get rid of power altogether respectively try to distribute it as evenly as possible. So while I said it’s compatible with monarchy and democracy, this is true on a scale. If the monarch is listening to rich people instead of their kind, it’s less monarchical and parliamentary democracies are more prone to capitalism than more direct forms of democracy.
To put it differently: it’s not only about who makes the decision according to the constitution, it’s also about how this decision comes about. Besides: the institution at least makes capitalism possible, if not enforces it in one way or another. The existence of a state alone is something capitalism needs, a punitive justice system that enforces property rights, which often also are constitutional themselves, …
I’m a 2000’s kid so I had the internet and found a lot of pictograms with Japanese explanations and if I were lucky, there were English ones with isn’t my native language either
Actually 🤓 it’s 2 in 3 since that’s the amount of water that covers the earth. Than again, China is mainly land, (even though it borders to the ocean) so your estimate might be adequate
Yes, happened in the very first episode. What a coincidence.
I love how the plot of the first two seasons is that doctor shows the teachers of his granddaughter (yes, he has family) that the tardis works and goes with them to the stone age. Then he tries to go back and it takes him 2 seasons.
Same with Harry Potter. I don’t say it’s all made up but we have only one source and a biased one at best. She’s a literal terf. Don’t believe anything she says.
