The practice of stealing wife’s on their wedding seems to go back to the epic of Gilgamesh, through prima nocte (first right to surfs women) seen in Braveheart.

This psychological framework of how to counter identify bullying tactics. It was developed by Norwegian Ingjald Nissen and later Berit Ås. Very practical common sense stuff.

More conflicts😢. -
The actualised quotes are thought provoking and are worth contemplating, however, I see this mistake over and over. Words like “because” and “which”are used for subordinate clauses- to add information about the main subject, and should not be used for main clauses. I felt it was worth pointing out. A more correct way would look like this. “No one will bullshit you as effectively as you bullshit yourself, because you automatically believe yourself.

Drawing a harsh conclusion, comparing this interview with the one Joe did with the Donald, this one was much more interrogative. The one with 45-47 Joe was a lot more careful less questioning. -

Not entirely accurate, the Haitian were not completely racist. They spared some Poles that Napoleon sent whom defected and joined the Haitians and they received the title honorary blacks for their service in helping to liberate Haiti. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Haitians

This mofo’s shamelessness gives someone secondhand cringe on his behalf. -
A keen observation in the latest lecture by Snyder is that libertarians tend to pivot toward fascism or the far-right route. I’d like to add that many of those types have entitlement issues and feel that they are entitled to their parents’ standard of living-plus more- sometimes with less work. Quite an uncharitable take on my part. Related to this point is that we live in an era where authoritarian countries like China are growing rapidly, and some believe that free countries could copy that formula to revive some old glory. All in all, a very illuminating speech by a lecturer I had never heard of before today.

When dealing with the 47th, you can’t appeal to reason or logic because those mostly insult and confuse him. It is more effective to flatter and inflate his importance. -

The quota were negotiated without Ethiopian, Kenyan and Ugandan agreement from the colonial era when Britain negotiated in their name. This is a tangential point from the main topic.
