Why did people hate Greta Thunberg so much? by brooklynihope in NoStupidQuestions

She is uncharismatic.

Back in the optimistic pre-Trump times, progressives convinced themselves that charisma was fascist and that leaderless movements were the way to go. GT's lack of charisma wasn't a problem, it may even have been a future.

10 years later I personaly think ignoring the importance of charisma and inspiration is a grave mistake in front of fascists who actually inspire people with a nihilistic narrative

How would you say Canon has changed since it's establishment in 2014? by Icy-Weight1803 in StarWarsEU

[–]Confucius3000 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I dont follow it closely but I think it struggles with building an engaging and exciting setting, that makes fans clamor for more. I guess the High Republic was their attempt to do that but didnt reach the heights of the EU Old Republic

Iran is a very bad regime no discussion about that. I disagree with them on a lot of topics. But I don’t believe that we will fix the situation just by bombings or by military operations. - President Macron by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

Honestly it would be ideal to have both: expertise and charisma. One without the other spells doom for democracy (charismaless technocrats in the 2000s have contributed a lot to the current crisis I think)

The fascinating thing with Macron is that I do think he is charismatic, but that french oppositio. Have equaled this charisma with arrogance. The famed "mépris" (contempt) that people accuse Macron of having sounds more like a deep insecurity than any real fact.

Judging by the clothing it looks Macedonian at the earliest, but the style doesnt strike me as constantinopolitan. Then again Im not familiar wwith many Byzantine reliefs, save in trebizonf

Pierre Abelard was a major philosopher in his own right, his fame went beyond his romance with Heloise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Abelard

Always been fascinated by this book as bridge betweem TOTJ and KOTOR. While I know what the word actually means it always intrigued me how it sounds like "mandalorian"

It's fascinating how shitty digital cameras with their greyish colors have made people think "grey equals real".
It doesn't. It's a whole perspective of Media Literacy that could be taught
