One thing stays constant over the ages: Rich people who think politics is bankrupt and they should run things instead.
The thing with politics is though, at it’s root the word means doing things (for the city) together. And the root of their frustration with politics and doing away with it is that they don’t want to do things together.
If I wanted to avoid escalation by militant Islam in the #middleeast, I wouldn’t start by making a quarter million able-bodied men homeless & motherless with nothing to lose.
@thetechtutor And like clockwork, here comes the: ”I have the facts around here” claim of authority, and linking of documents that point out exactly the same numbers and same process.

In a groundbreaking study from 2017, Chatard et al found social comparison to be subliminal.
In the study women were shown images of thin women or heavy women at sub-conscious threshold viewing times of less than 20 milliseconds.

@gimulnautti nautin tässä siitä että Terveystalo on just käynnistänyt kalliin imagokampanjan (Mehiläinen teki ensin joten varmaan FOMO iski ja piti saada vastaava). Niin toimari tai kukalie voi nyt katsoa näiden miljoonien valuvan roskiin tämän ansiosta
I guess I’ll start preparing for a Trump victory. Not because I think the donald is doing good, but because what Biden is saying about #israel may cost him the election.
This latest dismissal of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in particular.
Liberals understand the importance of #ruleoflaw. And undermining that just out of hand with broad strokes and bravado.. Is just digging dirt from under everyone’s feet.
Jaa-a.. Pitääiskö noista kansanedustaja Vornasen uhkan kokemisen kommenteista päätellä, että eduskunnassakin aseen kantaminen oli hänen mielestään perusteltua koska kommentit on olleet sitä luokkaa?
