I am a “regular” flyer and a stoner and I never fail to bring with me a sample of devil’s lettuce when I’m leaving for extended period of time and never once I’ve had any issue bringing my hazardous material with me.
One time I even embarked with a small firework in my wallet I forgot I placed there after a party and none bat an eye.
Security level: top (not gun)
I’m really sorry to bother but the link provided does not work for me, I also tried to use the way back machine but it seems no one has saved a clear copy of the page so far… Have you another link to a non-paywalled version of the article to share by chance? Thank you for your help in any case!!
Absolutely. Poverty comes never alone, it usually brings other friends to the party. Like poor education, lack of security, stress, poor nurishment and poor social environment. All this together can easily bring out the worst of people, while the contrary can improve their conditions.
If you are focused on surviving you’ll never be able to grow as we are all supposed to
Because the movie does not hint at eugenetics as solution to the crisis, it’s a hymn against stupidity and a cry to better educate the masses. First of all about sexual education and the danger of unprotected sex and secondly about politics and civic duties. I mean, I really don’t see how one could interpret the message of the movie as “do eugenetics”, that’s all.
That’s not true at all, genetics only play a part in the mental development of a person, much of it is instead related to the environment where a person has been growing.
It is as with talent, some people are better than other at certain activities but even the most gifted person cannot compete with a professional who has spent his life training and studying his craft.
The same can be said for “intelligence”: if you are never taught to think you’ll never think once in your lifetime, even if you are the exact copy of Leonardo da Vinci; on the other hand, even if you are thick as a rock but you’ve been growing in a society focused on your development you’ll be able to become a normal person.
Eugenetic politics do nothing for humanity betterment, social structure is much more important IMHO
As far as I am aware the only openly racist party being allowed on social media is the alt-right (the institutionalised right on the other hand is still clever enough to keep its racism hidden behind a façade of economics bullshit).
Pray tell, which extremist left wing organisation have been supporting twitter, threads or any other social media platform?
And since you are there, can you please explain how can you post a message without using your brain?
That should be a good thing in your view tho, no? Aren’t you the one defending the presence of extremists into online platforms? Shouldn’t Facebook and Twitter allow and even put under the spotlight these kind of ideologies?
Fuck it man, go for a full racist party then; why limit yourself to institutionalised racism when you can have ignorant racism directly?
Italian here. After the second world war, with a tired and mostly reformed population, Italy was poised to become a modern country capable of sitting at the same table of the G7 nations. For 20 years we enjoyed a level of growth which was possible only thanks to the reconstruction required to recover from the wounds of the war. Inthat same timeframe a centrist political force (DC or Democrazia Cristiana [Christian Democracy in English]) would take control of our institutions promising a moderate model fo governance fat away from both the right and the left extremes. They effectively worked to keep the status quo fixed at the beginning of the '900, having the populace split between the ruling class (those who had the money and the means to have their son’s complete their course of study in universities) and the working class (those who could feed their families and provide them with a roof over their heads). The only incremental improvement the latter could taste was “La dolce vita” (the sweet life), a concept where Italians were able to have a 3 weeks vacation period during summer and the money allowance to be able to buy leisure goods such as refrigerators, TVs and cars.
Fast forward a couple of decades and Italians found themselves stunlocked in a cage, unable to be heard by the politics and asking for a different kind of freedom. We were requesting a social improvement by receiving the right to divorce, to abort and to arrange unions on our workplaces. All rights which were against the status quo and therefore ignored by the (very Christian) ruling party. Give the situation another 10 years (during which the state committed violence against those who spoke about those rights) and the Italian people produced the Brigate Rosse (BR in short, Red Brigades in English), a terrorist organisation with a communist background who was able to exert violence via weapons and terrorist attacks specifically targeted against the ruling class. Result of this time frame, know as “anni di piombo” (lead years) for us Italians? We can now divorce, abort and arrange unions on our workplace.
I have given you this small history fact to make you understand that, even if as a European I am appalled at the idea of owning a fire weapon, sometimes the highest hierarchies need to be reminded that a populace is not just an amorphous aggregate of single people but a force to be reckon with. And personal violence is a very direct and clear message.
