I would imagine it's because it hasn't been reported on in the U.S.
Gross slut shaming vibes. You can criticize someone without moralizing, you know?
If you enter at 6 o'clock and exit again at 6 o'clock, you have travelled 360° which is a full loop.
Making a full loop is called a U-Turn and they are absolutely permitted.
ABSOLUTELY. And that first movie was before the nuclear war, so it's literally all about an energy crisis. People feel so comfortable in their modern world that they seem to not be able to imagine just how close to losing it all they are
You joke, but if you met anybody that lives in Syria about a decade ago, they would tell you this is exactly what it looks like. It's what it looked like for people about a year and a half ago in Palestine, and it's what it looked like to Soviet citizens in 1989. So keep making jokes, don't believe it, whatever. But it IS happening
I believe "complete" is relative in this case. Collapse is a process and not an event, people seem to miss that a lot. I think a lot of the reason why people only see it in retrospect is because they're all waiting to see some big glorious fire ball. But the truth is, collapse is mostly boring, and then concerning, and then terrifying.
Buddy, collapse is happening RIGHT NOW. You're in it. Whatever Mad Max post apocalyptic vision you have? Throw it out. What is happening right now outside your home at this moment, this is what collapse looks like.
They do if you use the right accelerant!
They are happening. There would be a lot less in the underground if it was some thing you heard about. But real work is being done. People being moved for their safety, certain apparatus of the state sustaining sabotage damage, etc. Things are being done.
The you have lost the only thing that separates us from them. Once you start to dehumanized the enemy, you become the enemy.
That's a different thing than what they were suggesting. They said "Massive purge and/or reeducation prison camps for all theists". That's not what I'm about. That sounds like fascist shit.
Now that's a name I've not heard in a looong time. Long time...
Yes, absolutely agreed
If I just let my dog go out and be free and wild, he would be dead within a week. He's 12 lbs, doesn't know the difference between poison and food, and thinks he's bigger than most predators. There's no such thing as a Dachshund in the wild. We have been domesticated by dogs and cats just as much as we have domesticated them. Our whole cultural trajectory exists because of that. The story of humanity is the story of domestication. You're deluded.
My last HR rep looked like Ms. Frizzle
I also don't know. That's why it was phrased as a question. I'm not from where you are from. I come from a different country. I asked you a question about a possibility based on my knowledge, and you just tried to gotcha me. What does that do for you? Make you feel superior?
Well, it won't. What COULD fix everything is Mutual Aid. People helping people. You can start building the world that you want to see right now, and right here, inside of the shell of the old world. Once people have their basic needs met, a sort of chain reaction take a place. People become aware that they can have it better. Then they realize who is standing in their way. Everything after that is up in the air.
I'm literally just asking questions. I'm not presenting any evidence, I'm not even really making an argument. I'm just devils advocating your spamming that OP is Canadian just because they live in Toronto. As if everybody who lives in Toronto is Canadian.
Some Canadians live in the U.S. too. There are even people who come from both countries. There are people that have multigenerational history in both countries.
Canadian and American culture are inextricably linked. Being mad at my country doesn't change that, and that kind of arrogance will only doom you to repeat our failures.
