I have mixed feelings. The UK has an incredibly broad definition of extremism. Socialism and antifascism are considered extremist ideologies.

The justification is to stop people like the ones doing pogroms rn, but giving the state power will always be a double-edged sword, one where the edge that swings left is sharper.

You and I have similar tastes.

"Mister" and "miss" used to be applied to people of higher status than you. A "comrade" is your equal. A comrade is someone who you fight with. During the revolutions of 1848, the revolutionaries, among them the nascent socialist movement, called each other comrades as a result.

The events of 1848 proved extremely influential for the left.

This was before the International split, so all lefties use the word as a consequence.

It's just latter-day feudalism. Their program is to Make Landlords Lords Again.

Urusei Yatsura reference?

It's not gallows humour if you're the executioner.

I think that there are many things we can get mad at Trump for, but simple vocabulary isn't one of those things.

Speaking clearly is a virtue. Using plain language makes what you're saying easier to understand.

Using complex jargon where an 8th grade level of speech will do increases the load on people's heads, which makes them get tired faster, and makes your message less accessible to immigrants.

Trump is still not understandable even given the simple vocabulary, which is a huge strike against him.

We all know the Internet is run by furries

Brown bears and black bears see you as a potential threat.

Polar bears see you as food.

I have had thoughts akin to these articles for a while, and was glad to see that I am not alone.

The articles discuss the friction between mandated delegation and federalism. While they ultimately propose extremely similar solutions, Herod rejects the language of federalism and delegation, while Sanchez preserves it.

Thoughts?

 
 
 

Most psychologists don't care about Freud's work outside of a historical sense and kinda hate him as a person. His work was quite literally used as an example of pseudoscience by Karl Popper.

And yet for some reason philosophers have an obsession with integrating his views into their work and artists keep using his views as inspiration and analyze existing works via the lens of psychoanalysis.

Why?
