Man… This one has lived rent free in my mind for almost thirty years. I had to read this and other German tales in German class.

Its political not because of money but because of people.
Satanists are cooler than these assholes.
The entire enterprise is political. You have to claim you’re an authority first by creating an argument and then defending that claim. That is politics.
The time it takes to learn about a subject costs a fair amount of money. The people with money, by and large, aren’t experts. They need to be convinced by the claimant that they deserve the money because they are experts and able to do something valuable with that money. This is politics.
This idealized views of science knowledge creation is a thin investigation into the social and political aspects of science. It makes no room for starts, transitions, different levels of expertise, or old experts, often revered in the field, defending their positions because of their political status in the field.
Addressing these issues at depth take time and is exhausting when dealing with the self assured idealist.
How’d they snag you? Was it coerced or a quick grab?
How’d they treat you once they got you?
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Woman Says She Was ‘Blindsided’ After ICE Detained Her Trump-Supporting HusbandEnglish2·22 hours agoHarris failed not because of her policies, but because she never was willing to sincerely differentiate herself from a Democratic party who continued to put themselves and their donors ahead of the average citizen.
Trump blew up the Republican party and it was a breathe of fresh air for a Washington full of their own self interest.
Its faaaaaar less about policies. It about an actual vision and authenticity. For as shitty as it is, Trump has this and Harris didn’t. This is leverage.
Edit: I wholly agree with the white supremecy undercurrent. But this isn’t new.

Government Cheese, a surreal fiction of a recently released ex-convict returning to his family and trying to walk the straight and narrow, but has too many favors to fulfill from his old life. The whole crew is brimming with charisma.

TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Woman Says She Was ‘Blindsided’ After ICE Detained Her Trump-Supporting HusbandEnglish292·2 days agoIt amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.

I know a northerner who is virulently an anti-monarchist. His whole family is.
Unschooling and by extension, the democratically run Free Schools come to mind.

The ROC was the legitimate governing body of China from 1912 to 1949.The ROC took control of Taiwan from Japan at the end of WW2. After losing the civil war, they retreat to the only place they continued to govern, the island of Taiwan.
Gonna play a game of comment roulette. How far do I have to scroll before I see someone say something like, “That can’t be in their museum because they can’t be trusted with it”.
Spinning the chamber now.
Edit: turns out I wasn’t prepared for what I saw. Now I sad.
He didn’t call for the death of Israel.
