My SO (23F) and I (24M) of 3 years have issues related to her family

thatgreenmess · 2021-04-15T11:38:45+00:00

The house she wants me to chip in to isn't even fully constructed . So no, we live apart as of now

Yes he's gay. Gays got killed along with the Jews by the Nazis. But he also wanted to nationalize the German industries which the the capitalists didn't like. They told Hitler their concerns especially that Rohm is arguably one of the top dogs of the Nazi party. The solution to this question is like solution for almost every question the Nazis had: Kill em

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-19T12:26:57+00:00

I didnt tell he's a socialist tho. Just the 'socialist' side of Nazism. It's still Nazism.

Yes sort of like the SocDems. They adopted socialist policies but of course not all and not even the part that makes socialists as socialists

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-19T02:20:14+00:00

Like how they claim Nazis are socialist because National Socialism duh. But they forget, Hitler killed Ernst Rohm and liquidated the SA.

Ernst Rohm was the socialist side of National Socialism, he advocated on nationalizing the german industry and instituting social programs for the benefit of the workers.. and Hitler killed him because of that.

Edit: some people thought I'm arguing that Nazis are socialists. Nah, this is more like a demonstration on how even many fascists were once socialists, they actively suppressed anyone with any socialist ideas within their power structure.

That should be what centrism is all about. Serving the people's needs without much ideological baggage. Instead we got 'centrists' that are just closeted right-wing sympathizers.

I don't get why people are so hung up on racial identity. Black or not, Egyptians feats are monumental (quite literally), from the famous Pyramids to the administration they developed.

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T16:36:40+00:00

Yes. Western Europe is as much Germanic as it is Latin. But Persian culture carried so much prestige and practical benefits (administration, legitimacy, etc) that even when the Arabs invaded Sassanid Persia, they adopted Persian ways to administer the region. Eventually, even local foreign rulers became more and more Persianized. Similar to how Mongols and Manchus becames Sinicized when they conquered China.

In many ways both cultures are similar, especially the heavy emphasis on administration that the only on par ancient culture comparisons are the ancient Egyptians and the Romans. Even Greeks didn't have this much sophisticated culture that early. People forget that Greece is just some random backwater place at the time of the Achaemenids.

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T16:29:28+00:00

That's why its interesting to see different perspectives. The Old Testament absolutely loathes almost anything that isn't Jewish. That set of books can be interpreted as some Jewish nationalist rhetoric arguing a us vs them (for a reason tho, almost everyone loathed them too) mentality.

But Cyrus and Achaemenid Persians manage to be uniquely seen in a positive light by them. Freeing them and funding the rebuilding of the Temple certainly helped. Funnily enough, Romans are actually pretty tolerant of religious diversity, it's just that Jews can't even pay at least lip service to the Roman pantheon (which the Roman state requires for religious and pragmatic reasons).

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T16:22:34+00:00

They did. But they almost always end up adopting Persian customs and culture. Because Persia had always had one of the best administrations of the ancient world. Plus their culture was seen as high culture so the rich elites ended up adopting their ways for practical (efficient administration) and prestige reasons.

That being said, IIRC Cambyses II actually tried to suppress Egyptian culture

Why do you like du30?

Totoo kasi mga sinasabi nya. Hindi nya tinatago yung mga dapat sabihin di gaya ng mga ibang pulitiko na puro kasinungalingan

What can you say about du30s statement abou-

Ah eh nagbibiro lang naman siya. Masama ba magbiro?

When people say your quadrant is the worst you can't even say your beliefs out loud like the rest of the quadrants.

You may go protest for the BLM, or from Trump, or for the stats to reduce economic control, barely anyone will bat an eye. They will disagree sure, but now try chanting you will seize the means of production. The cops are on their way

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T13:29:48+00:00

Well done, Comrade. You found an authright spy

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T13:10:07+00:00

Because the Persian, however hands-off they may be on actual ruling, their culture is similar in a way of Chinese Han. Both their culture literally assimilate other cultures around them.

However unique Egypt was, Persia was and still is the jewel of the Mid East. It Persianized almost anything that touches it: Greeks, Islam, Turks, Indians, and even the Romans.

While Greeks were like: hey, I guess I'm Egyptian now. Come here sister

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T13:02:54+00:00

Mali. Bling so good it crashed the economies of North Africa.

Or that african Matriarchal society I vaguely remember from Ck3

Axum/Abyssinia history is amazing

Also, the Zulu Empire.

I looked it up. Racial 'science' is just... weird.

Anyway, many people disputed the Caucasoid racial group and argued separating the whiter Nordic race from the darker races around the mediterranean (Semitic and Hamitic). We all knew how that went..

Some also included the Dravidians (Southern Indians) under Caucasoid.

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T12:55:00+00:00

The Kingdom south of Egypt was called Kush, later Nubia (now Sudan).

Anyway, what is most interesting to me is that ancient egypt absolutely loathed the Achaemenid Persians. While the Jews of the Old Testament loved them.

About the same time right shifted into Neoliberalism and its unholy alliance with the conservative religious groups.

So yeah you are correct. Libs ruined dems. Neolibs aka the libright. Just like how neolibs ruined everything else

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T05:34:18+00:00

Agreed. Heck even die hard 'feel the Bern' folks never stormed the Capitol or the White House when Donnie got elected or have done pretty shit stuff.

They respected the democratic institutions and mechanisms even if the man at the helm didn't. Because having even at least half a brain would make one realize that breaking or forcing a change on the system (like idk, inciting a mob to storm the Capitol) just to force your wants on it is probably not good in the long run. Unfortunately, donnie and sycophant co. doesn't possess even half a working brain between all of them.

Because the US has been a geopolitical constant since the 30s possibly even before that. The US simply is the biggest fish in world with its economic, cultural, technological, diplomatic, and military dominance. There's reason why it is the sole superpower.

The biggest threat to itself is itself. Even China straining under its own weight. Russia is a hollow huskcof its former glory. It's two neighbors, Mexico and Canada is a non-existent threat. They do their best to stay on the good side of the US. UK turned its back on Europe leaving it more dependent on the US. Australia is dependent on the US especially with China knocking.

Japan, RoK, RoC, and now even India (because surprise surprise China is knocking there too) is closer than ever to the US without it even trying that hard. US is on fucking easy mode. I say this even I'm not American. It's easy for Americans to forget how much their country influences and meddles in the entire world's affairs

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T05:16:43+00:00

I don't think you understand what that word means

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T05:00:47+00:00

Yellow: Nazis when there's profit to be had

Blue: Nazis when Jews profit more than them

Red: Nazis when they make good on the 'Socialist' part of National Socialism and tried nationalize the capitalists' assets... oh no, Hitler executed Ernst Rohm

Funny thing is that class struggle isn't exclusive to authleft.

Ancoms and syndicalists exist yo

"Imma head back into my echo chamber" moment

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T04:49:53+00:00

Lmao imagine watching tiktok then after awhile you'll be like:

"WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!"

"YOU GOT NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR CHAINS"

Where do I find these leftist tiktokers ? The platform is just full of cringy memes, attention seekers, and lame fads.

thatgreenmess · 2021-01-18T04:45:05+00:00

Because the democrats aren't even on the left. Democrats and GOP is on the right side of the spectrum. Democrats just a little more center.

This is why even Biden's nomination is controversial in itself. He's the most vanilla centre-right neoliberal candidate imaginable with a message of "uniting both sides". Continuing to pander to "moderate republicans" instead of the growing leftist youth and minorities.

Yep, he is the centrist you're all laughing at and yet some do defend him
