Well, if you never learn to think NOT as an individual, sure, you’ll get nowhere. You’ll get nowhere alone. You’ll wallow in your defeatism and despair indefinitely.

Yeah it is rather funny the more I read it. Like, just copy the article language or paraphrase it quickly. Reminds me of reading state ballot measures in the us.

Stop. You are not entitled to tedious explanations of everything. You are abusing the good will of the members of this community. Many users have been exhaustingly comprehensive in answering your questions, but you insist on being dismissive, obtuse, and lazy. It is clear that you’re trolling. I hate to consider the alternative and how it reflects on your behavior, so I’ll give you the benefit the doubt.

Edit: whoops, I forgot I was reading a month-old thread. So, I added a strikethrough to the word “stop” since this conversation was over until I showed up.

Maybe you would have energy to reread if you didn’t waste energy being a troll.

I see that you think you’re Morgan freeman in se7en, but you are NOT Morgan freeman in se7en, and ghost_laptop ain’t Brad Pitt in se7en. I hope you had fun with your little trolling spree in this thread.

It says:

She was the first South Korean director who was allowed to visit North Korea after Korean War without being charged for treason by South Korea, because she has a German passport. She gave up South Korean citizenship and took the German one just for making this documentary and getting a visa and the permission of shooting from North Korea

The phrasing is a bit odd, but the reference goes to a DW article, the subheading of which is:

A new film made by Sung-Hyung Cho attempts to give outsiders an insight into life in North Korea. The director, who even had to give up her South Korean nationality to shoot the film, spoke to DW about the project.

Well to be fair, the Dems are still somewhat pretending. Fewer people are buying it.

I was just being pedantic really sry

Have you looked into the “demonstrators” they clashed with? If not, you may find that particularly telling. You know how the usian media acts like every protest is a bloody clash where cops are being overwhelmed and murdered? Well, this was that, for real.

I support unarmed cops, and I support “clashing” with citizens who start killing them.

Yeah, you’re right. You and other user must agree on terms and on what you already agree on first.

I saw they had a similar experience of talking past each other with cowbee. They might be a particularly articulate wrecker, but I didn’t want to jump straight there.

That’s it exactly. Thank you for clarifying where I was vague.

It’s like they freeze and react negatively

Yeah, I think I was just describing the negative reactions I see most often. I kinda tried to armchair psychoanalyze also.

Just revisiting the comment. Unnecessary defensiveness drives me crazy in all relationships, not just political discussions, so I totally understand your frustration

Yeah but you’re not just looking. You’re running your mouth. People tend to ask for clarifications.

Sometimes people sacrifice things for principles. What’s funny about that?

Shoehorning objectivation into every context may be simple, but answering the question of why we do that is not.

“He takes the some of the liberal achievements (rationalism, the end of feudal bondage, and the Labor Theory of Value) and shows that they can only be fully realized by moving beyond the capitalist mode of production”

I thought that was pretty clear. The achievements are to be fully realized which cannot be done without overthrowing liberal democracy. The full realizations of achievements are mutually exclusive with the continued existence of libdem

That might not be what they meant though. That’s just how I read it.

Becoming? Those were always accusations in a mirror

Consider this liberal scratched y’all

I just want a headphone jack, wired earbuds, and my healthy thyroid back. Dead serious

Isn’t this just standard practice for nuclear-armed states? Seems like abc is doing a little fearmongering

Not even just left to the streets. Many cities are death marching the homeless around, arresting, terrorizing, and stealing personal property of the homeless every step of the way.
