Is the professor saying to buy more because the money will be of no use beyond the grave or saying buy less because the useless crap you bought will be of no use beyond the grave?

Sorry, Piped and other frontends isn’t working right now, so you’ll have to use normal YouTube or go through VLC.

1. When people in the modern day call someone a social democrat, they generally refer to the modern definition. The modern social democrat aims to reform capitalism to be more fair, as opposed to democratic socialists, who want to achieve socialism.
2. Social liberals like FDR are rather similar to modern social democrats. They have a different lineage, but in terms of policy the main distinguishing factor is a distaste for state-owned enterprises.
3. While I do not discount the possibility that he is intentionally moderating the positions he espouses publicly, he does not want to do away with private ownership, which is the goal of socialism. That being said, he goes much further than most social democrats in how much he wants to nationalize, how much he wants to incentivize coops, and how he wants 20% of major companies to be owned by the employees.

Wasn’t this said on graffiti in a concentration camp?

In lefty circles such as most of Lemmy, “gender” refers to the social norms and expectations that are attached to sex.

Personally, I think choosing the word “gender” to describe gender roles was a mistake. A call to abolish gender norms seems pretty reasonable, but if you’re uninformed about this definition the call to abolish gender sounds utterly deranged.

What do you think the dish is made of? Rabbits?

In both cases, the powers that be created a situation where the populace was very vulnerable, leaving them in a position where one bad harvest was all it took. In both cases, the elites then proceeded to make the situation worse because of a combination of immense incompetence and intentional imperialist shenanigans aimed at squeezing out wealth and putting down the rowdy colonized folk.

I’ve come to see the Great Famine as the free-market capitalist equivalent of the Holodomor. The more I learn about either, the more parallels I see.

Everybody’s looking for something

The gods would know that and, assuming sufficient knowledge and power, know how to convince you that you’re seeing reality.

It’s success. Not huge success, but success. It maintains a mediocre status quo in the face of the possibility of it worsening.

Number 4 is slightly inaccurate. The Dominicans elected a social-democrat who then got overthrown by a US-backed coup a couple of months after the election. Then there was a revolt against the Junta a couple of months after that and it was only then when the marines were then sent to shoot at the Constitutionalists.

Yes :)

It was really annoying because just putting the phone down could trigger it at times. I disabled it.
