This is why it’s important to work for class consciousness and worker solidarity. Look for ways that management and capital tries to divide us and point them out to your peers!

If you ask Americans about socialist policies without mentioning parties or ideology, then they overwhelmingly support them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Between 2015 and 2019, following discussions between public sector employers and trade unions, Iceland saw two major public sector trials of a shorter working week for no loss in pay.

The article is unclear, but the introduction on the study says:

The Scots are a violent, savage people. I was attacked there and beaten, and everyone I met on the rest of my week stay regaled me with stories of people they knew who had been similarly brutalized. “Oh yeah my sister got a kicking last week.” “My mate Barry tried to pull some geezers off a bird and then she helped them give him a kicking!” And on and on. Amazingly even more vicious than the English, which hardly seemed possible.

Except the water faucets (“taps”) come in pairs, one with cold water and one with hot. So, not so much like going into the future, but more like some primitive land too stubborn to change for the better in even the most straightforward, obvious ways. 😆

I’m learning Chinese now and it seems to have a similar change in pitch as European languages when asking a question. 你说汉语吗？

The first rule of Christianity is, “I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
There is no probation against killing in general in Christianity, only murder, which makes an appearance as the 5th commandment. Murder being unlawful and/or unjustified killing, so clearly wartime killing is a-okay in Christianity.
Now, you could argue that “love thy neighbor as thyself” might implicitly forbid killing, but if you start looking to Christianity for morality or even simple consistency you’re going to have a bad time.

I thought the same thing. In the Netherlands it’s not allowed to have realistic looking toy weapons. I basically think that’s a good thing.

I just spent a week in Texas in places that had plenty of people living and presumably working close together. The infrastructure is a hellscape of concrete and asphalt and monstrous pickup trucks. It has nothing to do with being a big country and everything to do with culture and policies.
- Comment on Exploited rule 3 months ago:
Not necessarily.
Increases in productivity could have been split between labor and capital, giving benefits to both. (Or even better, gone just to labor, but that would not be a “both lines go up” scenario.)

Many were shot in Spain! The Wikipedia link also notes some were shot in Italy, and one in Israel.

Most spaghetti Westerns filmed between 1964 and 1978 were made on low budgets, and shot at Cinecittà studios and various locations around southern Italy and Spain.[12] Many of the stories take place in the dry landscapes of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico, thus, common filming locations were the Tabernas Desert and the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, an area of volcanic origin known for its wide sandy beaches, both of which are in the Province of Almería in Southeastern Spain. Some sets and studios built for spaghetti Westerns survived as theme parks, such as Texas Hollywood, Mini Hollywood, and Western Leone, and continue to be used as film sets.[13] Other filming locations used were in central and southern Italy, such as the parks of Valle del Treja (between Rome and Viterbo), the area of Camposecco (next to Camerata Nuova, characterized by a karst topography), the hills around Castelluccio, the area around the Gran Sasso mountain, and the Tivoli’s quarries and Sardinia. God’s Gun was filmed in Israel.[14]

Spaghetti westerns were called spaghetti westerns because the directors were Italian:

It’s weird, but also more specific. You can give someone a haircut, give someone guff, give someone herpes, but you wouldn’t say “gifted” in those contexts.
- Comment on Anon gets an ultimatum 4 months ago:
I had a friend when I was in college. Her older loser brother who lived in her mom’s basement called one day. He asked if he could stay with her. She knew him and didn’t want to have him staying with her and her boyfriend, taking their sofa, eating their food, and so on. She said “sorry but no”.
Apparently he called everyone he knew looking for a place to crash because their mom gave him an ultimatum. Nobody would take him.
After he tried everyone, he killed himself in that fucking basement. 😖

Funny but diseases usually become less virulent over time. A successful disease generally doesn’t harm the host too much.
Ebola doesn’t spread far because it quickly kills the carrier. The COVID-19 pandemic was basically ended because it mutated into a less dangerous variant.
