Aviation functions entirely on our belief in aviation. We believe planes can fly and land safely so they do.
As more planes crash, the belief in its ability wanes, the worse it gets, repeat.
Please don’t lose faith.
I heard this is an expert interview so I know it’s true.
the speedo in your car, is a model of reality. Obviously it only models a very tiny part, but depending on the quality of the tool; it is more or less describing reality covered by the model.
No way this wasn’t intentional.
Speedo, Very tiny part, quality of the tool…
Most of it, as long as it’s understandable I don’t care. Language is about making yourself understood.
They must summarize Marxism-Leninism and how it’s application effects the country and some potential tweaks necessary for it to be properly enacted to the best capacity.
I’ve never understood tourism but I understand wanting to visit other countries if that makes sense.
I want to go to Spain, China, Mexico, etc, but I don’t want to be a “tourist” in a “tourist area”.
They are all very good ways of framing the current system as the only system, one which you must just accept.
I literally painted an outline above of what it looks like, not just in my mind but in reality. The Muslim/leftist community drew a line on the Gaza genocide, and the Democrats crossed it. The Muslim/leftist community then worked together to make it known that the Democrats were now our enemy for crossing said line.
The Democrats can either cross back, or they can continue their fascist march, while you defend them.
You must exit the slide because if you don’t you will inevitably find yourself supporting fascism, just like how the democratic party defenders are defending Genocide, something I’m sure you all thought would be a solid line only a few years ago. But you crossed it, and will continue to cross any other lines until we reach full implemented fascism, at which point you will wonder why “nobody resisted”…
If you reward rightward shifts with your vote just as well as you reward leftward shifts. Why would they ever move left, instead of banking your vote and trying to secure more and more rightist votes by moving right? How do you beat fascism by marching along a fascist line?
That fight looks like placing your line in the sand, and once it is crossed those on the other side are your enemies, lest you end up following and drawing new meaningless lines.
That fight looks like working within your communities to spread education and recognition about who those enemies are, and building structure in your community so that when the enemy is identified you can work together to ensure the enemy feels your resistance.
After which, they may just cross that line back over, recognizing that you now see them as an enemy and not an ally, and that they need you if they wish to have success.
If they don’t, then that just further reveals their intention was always to march rightward regardless, the only difference is you are no longer marching alongside them and have instead set the groundwork for opposing fascist enemies.
“Pay attention in school, kids, lest you miss learning what a king is”
~ defender of kings prior to their overthrow.
“Pay attention in school kids, lest you miss learning what an autocratic dictatorship is”
~ Cuban Batista defenders prior to the revolution.
“Pay attention in school slaves, lest you miss learning what a slave master is”
~ Southern slaveholder prior to the abolition of slavery.
Yes, when you confine your thinking to only exist within the current system, thats all you can comprehend.
Here’s the thing though, when the choice is between two slides towards fascism, A steep one, and a slightly less but still increasingly steep as you descend one, the only way to escape fascism is not to choose which slide you take, but to build an off ramp.
You will not defeat the system from working within, you need to build external power structures.
No, settling for “less bad” instead of fighting for good is what makes the “less bad” continue their march towards fascism.
Very telling you see the only option as voting for “less bad” or “waiting” for them to magically change leftward…
They will never change leftward unless you force them to change.
It’s true that “both sides are bad” is what led us to being closer to fascism than ever.
But you’ve got it backwards.
The “less bad” party being able to count on securing votes simply by being “less bad” allows for the “more bad” party to lead the march, and the “less bad” party to follow while still being “less bad”. This creates a slow march towards fascism while maintaining the illusion of choice in the population instilling passivity as they can always just “vote for less bad”.
Wait politicians were telling people to take their phones and opt-in for fundraisers? I never saw this, what was the reasoning besides “give us money pls”???
It’s not changing the complete sentence, it’s recognizing context clues and patterns of language.
“This clearly has nothing to do with racial slurs or otaku culture” = the original intention wasn’t about a racial slur and the change isn’t about mocking Otaku culture. (This is supported when they go on to explain what the actual original intention would be)
“They probably changed it because “coon” is a slur for black people and they didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings” = upon realizing the relation to a slur they didn’t intend, they changed it.
No need for forgiveness, or for passive aggressive condescension.
Everyday I become more secure in my belief that anime should be banned and all “anime fans” should be re-educated.
It absolutely can be true, though slightly misworded.
the initial usage had nothing to do with the derogatory term.
upon realizing the relation to the derogatory term they adapted.
Unless you’re trying to use one. Then they’re always broken.
