Lol

Considering it's supposed to be a 'daily' thing and yet it never actually is

2018-04-17 06:47:06 UTC  

Like communism and food

2018-04-17 06:47:15 UTC  

It’s never daily

This feels like a WKYK skit

Also, this video has managed to last longer than a year without getting flagged into 'protected' mode

I heard about a book just like this recently on the Commandant's Reading List. Maybe it was the same book...

2018-04-17 07:44:15 UTC  

I definitely want to read something just like this.

"To most Americans, the subtlety of Arab culture is bewildering and incomprehensible." I've had a hunch that a study of Arab and middle eastern cultures is one of the greatest sociological endeavors one could make, alongside something like a study of Egypt.

2018-04-17 07:52:14 UTC  

Make's me wish our sociology departments spent their time studying it more, rather than all their bullshit. To do so seems so important to maintaining America's position as a global hegemon.

having watched video of marines trying to work with afghanis, I realized how much of a demand there is for this type of education

meanwhile socialist countries actually have greater levels of food security at similar levels of development (along with pretty much all indicators for quality of life) 🤔

In Cuba, students have to spend a few years doing forced, unpaid labor in government farms and factories. No wonder the government makes sure every kid stays in school. Everyone is literate, and a slave.

2018-04-17 09:04:26 UTC  

are you talking about the UMAPs or what

2018-04-17 09:06:06 UTC  

they were a form of alternative civilian service that hasn't been in use since 1968

2018-04-17 09:06:38 UTC  

countries like switzerland, austria, finland, and israel have alternative civilian service programs

2018-04-17 09:17:29 UTC  

Any newer data, than stuff from the 80's? The dataset this stuff is based on, includes USSR nations, I'm assuming.

2018-04-17 09:19:53 UTC  

has to be taken with a relatively large grain of salt, if so, as they did not have a great track record when it came to reporting accurate data. Propaganda is a concern, when it comes to the validity of self-recorded data from socialist countries.

2018-04-17 09:20:13 UTC  

60k Cubans died trying to escape the utopia.

2018-04-17 09:22:03 UTC  

Is that this year

2018-04-17 09:22:14 UTC  

Or is that an estimate on a decade?

2018-04-17 09:23:25 UTC  

Since Castro took over, 59.

2018-04-17 09:23:43 UTC  

I can't figure out why people who are intelligent, well educated people love Marxism so much.

2018-04-17 09:23:52 UTC  

Did they study everything but history

2018-04-17 09:23:59 UTC  

because they've never lived under it <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-04-17 09:24:10 UTC  

That's the death toll of people that died at the sea.

2018-04-17 09:25:37 UTC  

It feels low to me
