Thanks. That’s a liberal (sorry, I couldn’t resist) definition of socialism he used there too, even allowing for the “national” qualifier.

It seems I read once that “socialist” was just in the party name to garner support of those who would be supportive of socialist values. I can’t recall the publication, but wonder if that’s true?
ROFL. Some kids from ACE schools might remind you of some of his clients. I’ll say it again: sociopaths are made.
Wait till you hear about evangelical ACE schools.
You’re welcome? I haven’t done anything but share a limited perspective, and I’m happy you appreciated it.
There’s an anchoring effect at play here as well where people naturally assume that the society they grew up in is the natural default. Any deviation from that is seen as being extreme as a result.
That even happens from household to household, in the same neighborhood.
Something seems very amiss with this.
We’re heavily propagandized from birth. I realize that happens to greater or lesser degrees, around the world, but overworked, underpaid, tired, struggling for necessities, junk science with fake peer reviews and certain governments strongarming (to put it mildly) other governments. Cognitive dissonance waved away with professional terms. Overwhelm, in short. I only have the “luxury” of scratching the surface of my own enforced, propagandized ignorance because I’m chronically underemployed, my offspring is an adult, and other factors. Critical thinking isn’t rewarded, often punished, and it’s hard, especially when you’ve been deliberately misguided for decades, from birth.
I can’t begin to imagine how exhausting it must be for you. I am grateful for your patience and gentleness with me as I struggle to remedy whatever is within my personal capacity to remedy, with the time and resources available to me, and would urge continued patience, for the few who may still be reached.
Siddhartha Gautama would agree.
You’re right, I didn’t see the saint at first. Thank you.
Whatever works, I guess?
Further, the investigation found Eygi was standing amid an olive grove over 230 yards away from Israeli troops — more than two football fields away. “Even an Olympic stone thrower cannot make half that distance,” Jonathan Pollak, an Israeli who often joins anti-settlement protests in Beita, told The Washington Post. A soldier on a roof had been aiming his gun toward her and Pollak, he said. After a few minutes of calm, during which Israeli forces didn’t fire off any more ammunition or tear gas, Eygi was shot in the back of the head. Though no footage was captured of the shooting, witness testimony strongly suggests that the lethal gunshot came from the soldier on the roof.
Gorgeous. Does anyone know what that structure is?
Maybe if I have some pennies to spare, I will donate. I’m just not an Amazon fan. I haven’t given them money in a several years.
Exchange students, work travel, newly moved, not a native English speaker. Doesn’t matter.
I’d prefer we not give Amazon money. I’m asking if there’s a better place, for either?
The YT channel. Apologies, I know people aren’t psychic.
I’d like to see them sue for Snowden files, too.
Not to mention diseases that are about to hit. It blows my mind that people who had this done to them are doing it to their neighbors; and that people who fought a global war to say it’s reprehensible send them weapons, and repeat excuses they know are lies.
