Yeah, to my understanding he was basically the lynch pin to the whole thing. He was under enormous pressure to not recognize China as a world market and to side with the west in placing world pollution blames on China and he rejected all that pressure and moved ahead with BRIC (at the time South Africa wasn’t included).
Could be wrong but that was my understanding.
this is fantastic, thank you
eh, I’m willing to bet pretty people have always held advantages in society regardless of the economic system
fuck :( that sucks

Maybe they’ve been using it for some time now without anyone knowing
They’re still working on Crazy Horse… saw one of the blasts when I was a kid so many years ago

I bought it a long time ago but couldn’t get into it… I should try again, might be better now
Kids can’t argue if they don’t even understand the basics. There’s probably a lot of this going on these days. It makes having a constructive conversation nearly impossible.
I make prodigious use of blocking but that takes work on my part that doesn’t really help anyone else. I don’t like tone policing, cancelling, or any of the other bs that tends to happen in online forums but I also understand it’s impossible to manage without banning trolls, and nearly impossible to manage with banning. There’s got to be a better way but I just don’t know what it is.
Personally I think it’s fine to err on the side of snark. If someone runs away because of it they probably weren’t ready yet anyway.
I never thought of it that way, that’s a good point
capitalists need a nice little guillotining to learn their true place in history
unfortunately pine phone sucks ass… i bought one about 3 years ago now and it’s still nearly useless
the Dems being for the working class is an old folk tale that just won’t die
that took me a while… but now all the freeze peach comments ive been seeing make sense
