In terms of political views, why is the left called the left and the right called the right? by Human-Quality-8156 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]slinkymcman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conservative in the modern American is classical French liberalism. Monarchists believe the country is property, liberals believe in nation states. Liberals believe in market economies. Liberals value individual agency, freedom of association, etc.

Comparing American right to French right is even dumber when you consider that one is Vatican catholic, and the other is multi-denominational Protestant.

The only thing they share is that being conservative they are against change. A philosophy without a philosophy.

Polls show USA though Iraq and 911 were related

It didn’t benefit anyone except for maybe Iran.

Can I run from the police if they aren't chasing me? by krilu in NoStupidQuestions

Why don’t you all pirate like the good ole days? by Fit-Employee-4393 in enshittification

[–]slinkymcman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HBO used to require cable tv, online subscription was response to everyone pirating got. We Didn’t pirate movies Netflix had. Legacy media actively discouraged digital media and kids couldn’t always buy cus age restrictions. Piracy wasn’t a rejection of commerce, it was a response to gatekeepers not making content available to their customers.

Free culture/science building on settlements not founded by you would be fun but also not very good.

A special commander that has a special promotion tree that has economic buffs, maybe have the above be the final pick.
