i literally said that IF they truly didnt have power it would be ok, did u even read my comment.

all traditions are weird and arbitrary and plenty have fucked up origins i think as long as they dont actively hurt or offend anyone people should celebrate whatever they like even monarchs.

idk if they really did actually not have any legal/institutional/political power like most of they do i wouldnt really care any more than i care about any rich asshole and their family. Having ceremonial positions be hereditary is not crazy and if people wanna keep those traditions around i dont see the problem again as long as the very real powers that many of the still have today get taken away and it really was just ceremonial like that king in Bolivia for example. I think the real problem is that most people dont know how much power these people actually have.

ive been seeing that stupid alliance video and i have been avoiding it cuz it looks like its gonna be pure brain rot

libraries are great but they predate communism, not everything which is good or communal/community centered is communists. The simple act of sharing and cooperating with ur geographical community isnt communist or even revolutionary its just basic human shit. I think neo liberalism and individualism and consumerism have poisoned our brains so much that we can look at something which is just human and assign to it political values that have existed for at most a couple centuries, because it has become so rare.

Have u seen the broken obelisk tho it kinda slaps.

i dont think u understand what death of the artist is. Also what makes post modern art art is that it was made to be art, the process of creation MAKES it art, the art IS the display, and creation of it regardless of the piece itself thats kinda what the whole fucking movement was about, I despise post modernism but fuck atleast criticize it from a point of understand not from a point of complete ignorance.

its the same fucking thing with Lincoln people often say he was the one good president, some especially delusional people even say he was a fucking revolutionary. But he was out there saying shit like “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it…”, and he wanted to bring all the salver politicians back into power after the civil war after a tiny percent of the white male population of the confederacy voted to go back to the union, man was as much a monster as every other amerikkkan president.

sounds like they are trying to fight the negative aspects of it, as long as sex workers themselves have a leading potion in stuff like this i think it cant be negative. human trafficking and abuses within the industry is only able to be so prevalent because it exists in the shadows and in a grey zone if not outright the black market. whatever u think of sex work and its place in future societies and its validity as work, sex workers are workers and they are some of the most oppressed and badly treated workers im glad for anything that improves their position.

france, i dont think i need to elavorate.

What can u expect from an institution built with opium trade money.

im sure its an influence/inspiration but i think generally people draw from their own stories and folklore, so if thats what u meant i would guess it wont have a big impact.

they have been, a lot of game companies have released their games officially in China over the last 5 or so years. They usually have to get localized because most people in China dont speak english and often they have to remove skulls or blood from the game.

i think the fact that militias are legal is a lot less useful than it appears, when the black panthers did just that the government made gun control more stringent, and eventually they just murdered and assassinated most of their leaders and arrested their members anyways. When it really gets down to it the liberal state will break its own principles to keep the “peace”.

i thought u were dirt owl

the meme would only be accurate if what Hegel was doing was saying “imagine some sort of metal thing that makes other metal things go fast” and then Marx and Engels made a gun.

Seriously Hegels contribution to marxism is hugely overstated, almost everything he wrote on philosophy was nonsense and everything he wrote on natural philosophy was wrong, he only really contributed idealist dialectics and that was so under-cooked that Marx and Engels spent a whole book making the idea good, while dunking on him and similar idealist.

maybe the real question is if the banks would even know were the person was and if those debt collection agencies would have any legal backing for that debt in China.
