Honestly the conciseness of this argument is heartwarming to me. 🥰

Here’s one: study insurgencies that managed to hold off and/or beat the US and get ready to apply those tactics because that time is coming. Best get to networking too.

They have to win elections and they have to fight from within.

Wait everyone! Don’t you see? If we join the Nazis we can change them from within!

Great hero of the people: Neville Chamberlain

To be fair, that’s pretty much the ancestry of West Germany. Well, that and all the Nazis who got a great big beautiful American bailout.

Obama drone struck that 16 year old American kid, and when someone in his administration was asked about it, he said that he should’ve had a better father

Oh boy the irony

😉

Oooooh this is a new one to me, thanks! I gotta see if I can find it in PDF or EPUB format.

I do love this, I have a bunch of the books on the list (especially the Beej series) but there’s a bunch more I don’t have yet. Thanks!

I actually have this one already, it’s good albeit a bit short. Love that it uses actual code in the text rather than a bunch of boolean algebra. Thanks for the recommendation!

Fucked if I know 😂 I’m studying it on my own from textbooks and online resources, not in a classroom setting taught by scholars much much smarter than me. I assume the reduced complexity of simplified characters makes it more accessible though, which is why I understand the PRC makes Pinyin required on road signs as well.

I’ve been enjoying studying Mandarin. The tones are a bit weird but the grammar seems surprisingly simple, everything can be written pretty universally in pinyin, and Hanzi characters are great for condensing information.

It sounds like your high school was better than most. That’s hope-inducing.

Civic engagement is always good. Some high schools will have some things in the textbooks but class curricula never get that far, preferring to leave off around WWII or the second red scare at latest if they even touch the 1900’s.

Most Statesians lose their faith in cops/country in a similar way. There’s a reason US high schools don’t teach recent history. If it’s far enough back like the early 1900’s or 1800’s then you can rationalize it with platitudes like “it was a different time back then” or “we hadn’t evolved as a society yet”. Lot harder to rationalize away when it was only 40 years ago.

I didn’t invent clinical depression but my god have I innovated it

Thanks! 😃

That’s a debate since authoritarianism to libertarianism is a spectrum so there is no official “normal” and its generally used qualitatively on individual polices

So, essentially, it’s subjective?
