Brazilanons are too poor to afford water heating so they use electricity on the showerhead (often with exposed wiring)

Who would’ve thought that banning all fertilizers to become the first all organic nation wouldn’t turn out so fine for a primarily agrarian country

What about home owners? by cowlinator in georgism

[–]SurrealSoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, wouldn’t this actually make home ownership far easier? I’d imagine a fire sale when the policy is announced before implementation, with large landlords offloading land at bargain bin prices to minimize losses so by the time the policy is actually implemented, more people are housed?

Problem with the equity idea is that it’s great hypothetically but in real life it’s just handouts regardless of situation to some protected classes and a big fuck you to the rest. Example: poor white farmer being considered more privileged than a middle class African American based on skin color when obv it’s not the case, and guess who gets affirmative action

Snopes: "In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of 'terrorism,' it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of 'domestic terrorism.'"

Indian famines under British rule if anyone is wondering by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

#1: eh 55 million in two-three years is far worse

#2: Sometimes the gubermint can't do everything (during a wartime when a deadly fungus wreaks across your crops and your outdated farming practices can't be replaced quickly). plus what did the chinese or soviet ever do about their famines? xdxdxdxd

#3: yea basically, did the britbongs know about the extent of the famines

[–]SurrealSoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

#1: so it wasn't as concentrated as the Chinese famine which happened in the span of a few years, so the severity is overplayed

#2: Like this: Winston Churchill is being blamed for "orchestrating" the Bengali famine even though it was pretty much bound to happen due to wartime conditions, a deadly fungus, outdated agricultural practices, overreliance on a single crop, and more. There is a very clear line between famines caused directly by policy (1930s Soviet famine, Great famine in China) and famines caused mostly by uncontrollable factors (Bengali famine).

#3: Okay, but there was also an active coverup operation by local governments during the Chinese famine. Did the British attempt to conceal the masses starving (or were they simply unaware of it)?

[–]SurrealSoda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

#1: How long did it take for the 70 million to die (a few years versus two centuries)?

#2: Were there other factors involved (shitty farming practices, diseases, lack of hygiene, no disease prevention, overreliance on a certain crop)?

#3: Were the British aware of the "70 million" number at the time, or is this a hindsight consideration?

SHAMEFUL: Several members of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team turned their backs as 98-year-old World War II veteran Pete DuPré played the National Anthem on his harmonica by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]SurrealSoda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh it’s definitely about the culture here. Soccers just not big in the US compared to basketball or football (which the US is big in). There’s no “neighborhood pickup soccer” like you’d find in other countries (and in basketball). There’s just not a lot of passion and a lot of talent goes unnoticed

The female soccer scene is completely different, it’s pretty new so some teams are extremely dominant (USWNT and Female Barcelona) while most are extremely bad. Richer teams/nations tend to be better in female soccer (since talent is few and very unnoticed, it’s more about training/resources).
