What is this spaghetti cucumber looking alien snack?!
For background, Kristall is obviously cristal in German, which is associated with cleanliness and purity and high value. The name plays into the idea of “cleaning” Germany from the “dirty” parts of society
Can’t believe anything they say, always trying to trick you and never ever promise them anything
Well now I am imagining cows in silly costumes trying to trick the machine into not recognising them
It’s actually uncommon to refer to the November pogrom as Kristallnacht in German because it’s the positive spin the Nazis put to that. It’s not outright taboo but it can be a dog whistle
Do you think the government should enforce some limits on wealth accumulation? Genuine question, because this doesn’t appear on neither the pro nor con lists in that definition and I’d like to hear a take of a self described economic liberal on this
Consider this: horses can’t puke and just die if they eat something bad
This guy is making such great content about the most boring stuff. Something about learning how the rivers in Skyrim work tickles my brain the right way
I’m not sure I see the difference between bringing big oil down versus bringing animal based food down. Both are critical pillars of our current societies, changing that takes a lot of work (even if we were to convince everyone that that change needs to be done). My personal decisions don’t really matter as long as everyone else keeps going the way they are.
That being said I basically have a vegan diet and I very rarely use transportation that runs directly on oil. I just don’t think that gives my arguments for societal changes any more weight. These arguments are right in my opinion, independent of whether I already live the change or just argue that the proposed changes would be beneficial.q
Why would BP change if you don’t?
Because BP isn’t a human being it is a legal entity without inherent value other than those that we as a society allow it to have. If society decides BP should stop existing that’s just a logistical effort (replacing energy needs, finding jobs for the workers there etc etc) where as if society decides I should stop existing that’s a crime against humanity. Putting legal entities and humans on the same level here is a false premise in my eyes.
Also: Arguing for removing BP from the world IS showing a willingness to change personally because it means changing a lot of other stuff too that will affect everyones live.
And I think it’s important to change yourself as well, so you can demand it from others.
I’d argue that that only works on small scales. For big changes we need to agree beforehand that we want and will do the change and then do that change together. Demanding someone jump first won’t work here.
I don’t think that being part of the current society and doing what that society pushes people to do is a reason to dismiss criticism of that same society. I can acknowledge that I am flawed, that I am part of the problem, and still argue for change on a societal level. Especially because it is easier to act responsibly when everyone does
It’s really been 10 years? Oh god
Yeah I remember reading about it. This is probably a step in the right direction without having looked at all the details
Stopping the wealth accumulation at the top through taxes on property above a threshold.
And, supplementary:
Stopping tax evasion by implementing a global tax cooperative so nations can stop competing in a downward race on tax rates
Nono you see only with a strong man a woman is free to be a real woman! Free to look pretty, get pregnant, make the house tidy and cook delicious food. The things women enjoy!
/s Just in case I wasn’t being over the top enough to make this obvious sarcasm a
South Korea has one of the worst reproduction rates of the world, caused by women deciding to not choose a man to spend their life with but to live their own life. Which apparently causes men to freak out and go conservative
Hm yes, but if someone takes a picture of me without me asking for it that’s different
