Stoics are so cool and rational

actually, no, not a complete disaster. During american prohibition, domestic abuse all but disappeared, same went for a big part of self-harm due to alcohol abuse. It's normal to paint the prohibition as some complete mistake, but it has positive sides too.

And I say that as an enjoyer of alcohol and other fun stuff, disagreeing with banning it again

Wow, literally not a single ad anywhere, I pity these people yearning for our Western freedom

[-] jayWL@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

oh, I honestly didn't think of that, but the person shows zero signs of being AI generated in my opinion. But the ad is 100% surgically cut out to appeal to 20-somethings who need extra cash

I know they chose this pic to have a "relatable, cool" girl to get all gen z'ers to vibe with it, but I can't help but think how that sick sleeve probably cost like $2000.

Like I'm not putting it down, it is a cool fucking sleeve, but I don't know if it fits with the "I need to sell bodily fluids to pay my rent" message

ROMANS? "colonized" by ROMANS????? lmao

nationalism and the concept of countries didn't truly exist until like 1700s. Sure, there were some special cases like Poland which has been a "country" (or rather, a united kingdom) since the 10th century, but even for these outliers, the idea of a nation comes waaaaaay after the fucking romans have existed, please stop embarassing yourself.

And europe's contributions to... "medicine, science, phycics, chemistry, etc", even if we discount the ones that were straight up stolen, is a non-sequitir when we are talking about what europe at large has done to its subjects. Do you think that advances in, for example, electric power production, are worth the countless colonial deaths in middle africa? Europe is pretty fascist still, living on the blood of the third world

and, just to send this one home: fuck you, western chauvinist, I hope your life mirrors that of the global lumpenproles, who have no choice but to take your country's neoliberal "fixes"

oh dont play coy

your "say vague implications, then backtrack when called out because you never used those exact words" shtick is almost as good as jordan peterson's.

no, you didn't talk specifically about economy, but it was implied I should not be cheering for amerikkka's fall because I probably live in a western country and would end up worse than I am - economically. Which is probably true. But also, both amerikkka's as well as my country's wealth is built on extreme exploitation of the third world, and the world at large would be better if we didn't exist.

I did, and all I could surmise was that you mistake liberals for leftists.

I know shit like Lenin is too much, but you could at least read MLK, the whitewashed saint of liberalism, to see what he really thought of your ilk (particularly, the letter from Birmingham jail)
