Are you still in Syria? How do you think Syria is doing after the civil war? Are you hopeful for the future or more sceptic? I’m really interested in how your country is doing -

He’s still a Nazi. C’mon guys we can do better than to glaze outright fascists because they pretend to act “hip” and “progressive.” -

@Leo Gura yeah, I think it basically comes down to economics. Even just your average middle class American or Brit is living a lifestyle that would be in the top 1% of most third world countries, so in that situation it’s basically inevitable that people from those countries will do anything that they can to try and have a chance at their life. If you’re a young engineering student from Senegal for instance, are you going to put up with rampant corruption, pollution, crime, unemployment etc in your home country, or are you going to take a shot at earning 50x more than you ever could by moving to the West, even if you have to put up with shitty pay, racism, long work hours, etc? Realistically the only way to reduce global migration is to reduce global inequality, but that takes a degree of foresight and cooperation that most politicians and business people aren’t prepared to do. Not to mention, like you said, rich countries like having poor immigrants come in and do the backbreaking labour they’re not prepared to do themselves, even if it ends up changing the culture / demographics overtime. Obviously there’s more to it than that (enclaves vs assimilation, religious tensions, etc) but so long as the economic factor isn’t addressed all the other points are just superficial grievances IMO. Wealth and security is the primary driver for so much of human activity. -

If we show AI tumblr, will it turn into a bad fanfic generating machine? 🤔 -

Can we just reset the entire internet at this point? It’s so tiring having everything treat you like a digital serf for the data dukes to lord over. It’s insanely anti-democratic and dehumanising and just straight up shit to deal with. -

Don’t you guys like the opposite sex? lol. I was speaking about this with my therapist recently and it kinda occurred to me so much of modern gender discourse seems to just boil down to someone feeling emotionally detached from the other gender. As if love, dating, relationships etc are just transactions one person gets from another and there’s no real way to fundamentally humanise or care about the other person. Aw man. Now I just made myself depressed. It’s not that bad guys lol we can get along 😢 -

I’ve heard about this too. It’s freaking weird to say the least. Weren’t all of them involved in the US nuclear program to some degree? The fact that we have nuclear scientists of all people going missing is cause for concern -

You sound like a chatgpt bot bro, try and engage with these ideas critically instead of just repeating stuff you saw on Instagram -
Apparition of Jack replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
No, it’s called asking reasonable questions to a bunch of people claiming they have a better way of living for everyone. Matriarchy advocates claim the world is in its current state due to Patriarchy and misapplied gender norms. Again, I’m not dismissing the idea outright, but again, I’m asking for evidence of this and how Matriarchy will supposedly do things better than Patriarchy. This is my point - you think Patriarchy invented disease? Really?? -

Apparition of Jack replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
How will matriarchy deal with disease, crime, warfare, genocide? How will matriarchy handle different groups fighting over ideology, resources, ethnicity, religion? How will matriarchy manage economics and ensure justice and fairness whilst dealing with a limited resource pool? I’m not saying these to dismiss the idea, rather to genuinely put these issues forward in the event its ideas do come to fruition -

Frankly this is how most of the thinking world sees the US. The fact that you guys don’t even have healthcare is absurd. There’s so much to like about America but your political system is complete dogwater. -
