It ought to balance out

> People are so interconnected regardless of geographical distance that your social group is no longer determined by borders

Castle of sand. We're connected by the internet but we don't have the mechanisms to sustain the social aspects, so we end up disintegrating

Agreed

That's why I think it'll slide backwards from the initial craziness

But I guarantee you if you flick through the pages of history you'll often stumble across 'traiditional' american/german/british/russian/japanese cultural norms that turned out to have their origins in other places

think of how strongly people associate karate witih Japan nowadays

yet the first karate club wasn't started in Japan until around the 1930s

It's when I come across stuff like this that I get creeped out...
https://www.quora.com/Why-is-national-identity-important

huh

@Fitzydog those answers are pretty gay

it should be renamed to queera

Lol right? But look at those upvotes. If that's a popular opinion with no counter argument.... D:

tbh,it's not a very well seen question

there are actual nationalists on quora and they do get upvotes

@Fitzydog do you frequent quora or?

No, I'm just throwing shit at the wall, talking out my ass, and sampling the Internet waters.

IMO, this identitarian nonsense is really unhealthy and won't fade away on its own.

shits, assholes and water

got it

What can I say? I'm a plumber

"True Communism has never existed" is correct only insofar as Communism as is preached is fantasy

"True Communism has never been tried" is a bit more iffy, since many countries have tried to move towards implementing Communism - and the fact that everything has gone to shit before even reaching the end-goal is testament to the utopian fallacy of 'tw00' Communism

Regarding Quora, certain questions are just designed to fit a narrative.

yep

So only a certain group of people will look for them, and answer them.

Good point @Reaps

"Does capitalism kill more than communism?", nobody sane would ask that. Commies will flock to that question.

yep

But under capitalism 86 million people have died due to “poverty related causes”

@Deleted User ww2 was caused by commies

And I’m getting this from that one image I posted earlier lol

they can get stuffed

Same with "Is the Bible pro-slavery?", will have a ton of nuatheists misquote Jesus telling a parable, implying a character in the parable is Jesus himself admitting to having servants/slaves.

commies led to the death camps

WWII was caused by the Nazis lol

@Deleted User Which would never have happeend if the commies were destroyed

A) what qualifies poverty-related
B) how many people have died from 'poverty-related causes' under a Communist government
C) is dying from your government *not* paying attention to you better or worse than dying because your government *decided* to pay attention to you

Those terms are way too vague to mean something

Here's a question: are most African countries capitalist?

Also, they are probably counting violence due to poverty as a reason of those deaths

Say, in South Africa, it's illegal to sell water.

You know, that one place that's running out of water real quick?
