Truth
If we gave a fuck about the teachers unions nothing would ever get done
Now I have to tie the democratic peace theory, international law, and economic indepence all together.
Some unions just need to he ignored as they're too whiny
independence*
Not to mention many are actually filled with literal socialists.

Not the throw-away term, like some people might use the term "Nazi." I mean like 4/5 sociology professors self-identify as marxists.
I know
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
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.
