The founders of BLM all claim to be "trained" marxists.

Trained to be retarded

And that's who's running our school system.

Making sure the next generation is as ignorant as possible.

Mym

It's the same in Canada

But most of them get counteracted by the parents

last question for ya'll

Hm?

Problematize the concept of 'power' and also discuss some policy implications that realism gives you.

@Kreia's Disciple you're up

I'm gonna start drinking

What in God's name does "Problematize" mean?

This is a new form of INSOC I haven't heard of.

Make it a problem

Literally all it means

Look at power as a problem

Jesus Christ.

How is the idea of power problematic

Alright. So, power is where people find out where their integrity lies. People say Power Corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. There is some truth to that. But if I had to say, it would be more like something like this:

"Most people aren't Good. Most people are simply cowards who are afraid of what the ramifications would be if they did what they truly wished to do."

And we have a lot of things we actually wished we could do if we were honest with ourselves for about five seconds.

Make it an issue

Right, I'm getting to the answer here.

Realistically, most people don't think of themselves as bad people. Most people think of themselves as the kinds of people who would have joined a resistance movement against the Nazis. But if today you are standing with every major political establishment and corporation, then that means you are standing with the mainstream opinion, which means by default you have chosen the safest position.

Power is a problem because, suddenly, you don't have to care about what your fellow primates think of you.

And truth be told, a lot of mainstream positions are correct because they've been formulated through ongoing dialogue between groups of people that have lasted centuries.

Wonderful, thank you for the help gents.

So to no longer be constrained by those things is dangerous if you don't know yourself (which most people do not.)

I hope I have actually been helpful. I know my answers are long, but they need to be, I think. Because that's a hell of a question.

Yeah you're telling me

You solved 4 hours of research and note reviewing in 20 minutes

Much obliged gents. Good night.

'Night.

Night eh

kind of related to history

Georgia if State Legislatures still voted for Senators (done by myself)

Whelp, looks like Shakespeare is next on the chopping block.

as much as i hate English class,

this is too much

So I was looking at the hate that Sherman get's from Southerners, and I gotta point out here:

Most Generals who refuse to get political are demonized, and Sherman is no different. Eisenhower is beloved, Patton is hated, even though Eisenhower's achievements were mostly political achievements in cementing the alliance between the world powers.

Sherman was a man with an Iron stomach who knew what needed to be done in order to bring the war to a close quickly.

Honest to god, I think that if we'd had Sherman running the war in Korea, we would have won flat-out, not simply forced a stalemate.
