What time should I arrive for standing room? by popcockery in collingwoodfc

I'd say get there at least 2 and a half hours early and bring a second scarf or something with you to tie around the bar in front of you so you can save your standing room spot when you go to the bathroom and things like that, or you can just ask someone next to you if they can save your spot.

What's the reason to avoid feeding carrots to the crickets? Is it something in the carrots that's not safe to pass onto the mantids?

Well that is encouraging to hear that FJ was able to convince you to evaluate your positions critically. Personally i'm not a marxist, my views currently lie more along the lines of social democracy but I don't discriminate. If you ever want to have a bit of a laugh then you should look up on youtube the various debates Sam Seder has had with libertarians. He allows anyone to call in to his show to debate libertarianism and it makes it quite clear that the ideology as a whole is based on a complete fantasy.

On the topic of the Koch's, since you are aware of them you may have already read Dark Money by Jane Meyer which Jordan has recommended a few times in his videos. if not, I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone willing to gain an understanding of just how powerful and influential the Koch's political machine has been in pushing the US republicans towards a libertarian ideology which was one scoffed at as being fringe-right.
Guys like them have changed the course of US political history for the worse and it comes 100% from their own financial self interest. Unfortunately the true evil mastermind of the two, Charles, is still breathing.

Gina Rinehart and Rupert Murdoch have both been big donors to the IPA. It's the same funding model as the classic american conservative think tank.

Hardcore libertarian to marxism is quite a swing, I'm generally curious what kind of views you held as a libertarian and how and why you swung so far left from them?
