  • Happy birthday!

  • I'd like to ask for resources concerning the development of imperialism.

    Jump

  • I love how semi calss-conscious people would be like, "Yeah, landlords are bad." until the Chinese, Cuban, Eastern European, Venezuealan diaspora is mentioned.

    Jump

  • Thomas Hobbes' social contract is basically a landlord contract in its self if you think of the United States government as a landlord. You pay the U.S. government to live there and then the U.S. government keeps jacking up your taxes must like a landlord will jack you your rent.

  • Very cute

  • Did Simo Häyhä actually have over 500 confirmed kills?

    Jump

  • I was thinking the same thing. I do believe his kill number seems extremely implausible.

    Especially if you look at the data from Wikipedia: "Some of Häyhä's figures are from a Finnish Army document, counted from the beginning of the war, 30 November 1939: 22 December 1939: 138 sniper kills in 22 days 26 January 1940: 199 sniper kills (61 in 35 days) 17 February 1940: 219 sniper kills (20 in 22 days) 7 March 1940 (one day after he was wounded): total of 259 sniper kills (40 in 18 days)"

  • Czech Republic banned communism

  • Look how they treat the Romani. Czechia has not really done so well after Communism.

  • Do you prefer humanized villains or pure evil villains in fiction?

    Jump

  • It depends on the mood, but here are my favorite

    Loveable James Bond-type Villains: The hero foils their plans of world domination and it is lighthearted and the villain becomes loveable to the fans.

    Mysterious Unbeatable Villains I would agree with you with the Lovecraftian forces. I have read several works of Lovecraft and they are good reads except some have undertones of racism and a small few stories where the racism is very impotent apparent like the Herbert West–Reanimator.

    In human form of this type of villain in the movie, Eyes Wide Shut where you can get past the nudity and the famous orgy scene actually has interesting villains where the hero never really understands them or wins against them. The end of the movie the two characters are just trying to figure out what to do with their lives after their encounter with the cult. It is very refreshing to see especially in Hollywood as the audience is already pre-set with the idea that the hero wins and the bad guys are defeated.

    This type of villain, the protagonist is just trying to survive and never actually wins as they either end up a survivor of the encounter, dead, or sometimes they join the villain or group of villains.

  • How many of you fell for the anti-SJW era pipeline from 2015-2021? And how did you escape?

  • I know about the IMF, World Bank, and WTO is there any other international organizations I should know about that are also vehicles for imperialism?

    Jump

  • Yeah, your right.

  • So...how do people get convinced?

  • How can I stop being lazy and learn to read for long periods of time?

    Jump

  • Read fiction books that are easier to read whether you might enjoy fantasy, romance, sci-fi, speculative, or whatever. These books will help you build a tolerance toward reading and allow you to have an easier time reading non-fiction and more academically written books.
