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.
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?
wow
