dumb poo poo like that will never go away. it's the same reason public racism surged after Obama. there is direct proof white males are losing their position of power. morons will always lash out at that

most teachers easily average 60-70 hours/week during the school year. could be more depending on how many classes you're teaching and how big your classes are. teachers are hosed, and unlike doctor the pay and respect never comes.

its nowhere near bad enough for people to actually do things about it.

the thing is that the people who are really pissed off are the conservatives, for some reason, even though they're winning.

so basically I need them to get pissed off enough to start an actual secession movement and then we just cut 'em loose.

that's my best-reasonable-case scenario for America in my childrens lifetime.

the cold war seems so weird to me. the ussr in theory was an actual threat. not a real one, but there was a constant "they could nuke us." the closest my generation has to that is terrorism i guess.

yet another cool remnant of the cold war. the director of the soviet biowarfare division confirmed they had a smallish stockpile of weaponized smallpox ready to go. The cool thing is that no one is really sure what happened to it.

I dont really know what you're getting at.

All I'm saying is that the only thing I can imagine that's currently vagely comparable to the threat of global thermonuclear war is some sort of massive plauge, for instance if somehow smallpox++ came back, and really not even then.

oh yeah i understood that. terrorism is not a real threat and my generation really doens't have one other than impending late stage capitalism or random plague

this was a great opportunity for a 219 reference


this happened in tempe just before i moved there for grad school. they were building two giant condo towers at the height of the housing bubble and when it collapsed the developer was left with these half completed buildings that could never be rented out or sold for enough to recoup the cost. so the guy killed himself and the buildings were left half completed w/ a crane on top and housewrap blowing in the wind the entire two and a half years i was there

another developer bought them and they now rent out at $1300/mo for a 450sqft studio below the 3rd floor. they're nearly full as well

Marx was wrong about a lot. it was simple, Marx did not see the benefit of religion, therefore watching people die and willingly tortured/imprisoned over it was beyond his comprehension, he simply failed to account for the close relationship in russia between religion and politics

the history surrounding this is very interesting, the secularisation and privatization of the wealth of the Eastern Orthodox Church combined with the promotion of a patriarch that had political ties created tensions and led to a church schism that was marked by political dissidents

the dissidents, who basically were aristocrats went into hiding and were hunted. Being impoverished due to their battle against the state the peasants rallied around them, though they were effectively fighting for the continuation of Russian feudalism

from personal experience: many people do not read the contracts they're signing. a farm a few miles from ours rent to owned their mineral rights instead of just renting them. now they have a farm that can't be used for actual farming and none of the money from the drilling happening on it
