Bouzouki, because I’ll be pretty ashamed of my purchase if I don’t

Maybe public opinion will change now that there’s white victims of the genocide too

Does it make sense or is it justified?

There’s quite a difference

If you can blame him for anything, you can say that he couldn’t imagine just how bad late stage capitalism could get.

Though I’m not sure if that takes away from his other arguments or makes them all the more prevalent.

I’m from Greece.

30 years ago people were still living the dream which was all a house of cards called loans. Then the market crisis happened and we got fucked unable to get new ones and pay off the old ones.

After that, we kept getting blackmailed by the Eurozone and the IMF so that we would get the loans we needed to fix our country, but under harsh conditions that basically sustain our poverty instead of fixing it in any way. We signed away the people’s livelihoods so that we could be Europe’s economic lab rat and slave, all to their benefit.

Our current government is as liberal capitalist as it gets, privatizing everything and making life crap for the poor (who are becoming more and more as time passes). Fascism is also on the rise, following the theme of Europe and the US.

The government owns almost all the media and most other parties in the parliament are also aligned with the ruling one. Climate change is beggining to hit hard, every time revealing the cheap infrastructure and postponed plans by contractors.

Instead of hiring more firemen, our government continues to allocate way too much money on cops, riot control, and the media it bribes.

Maybe the EU’s fucking around ends up with a communist revolution, I bet they won’t be too happy about it then.

I’m from Greece, I hope things get better for you

Marx was right and it’s getting obscenely obvious

If you thought any measures taken for Ukraine were because of morals you’re very mistaken

Sadly most people are way too fucking dumb and uneducated to have nuanced opinions, but you can’t blame them fully when they’re so busy working all day that they can’t afford to spend time reading and learning from quality sources

Careful now, you might just shatter their simplistic view of the world

It’s ok, americans don’t have healthcare so they can afford to wage wars all over the place

If the Great Filter theory is correct, climate change will most likely be our Great Filter.

Our species is simply not equipped with the ability to deal with the problems it created. Many people can, but they’re not powerful to do anything, and there’s too many uneducated people for the masses to rise up about this problem.

We think so short term, it’s impossible for some people to think about the future and accept that we’ll need to change the way we live now so that we can keep living then. They’re hung up on Chernobyl because it was a big bang that killed lots of people at once and it was televised everywhere that has a society and TVs, but they are unable to see that in the long term coal and gas have killed and are still killing way more people than nuclear accidents, because it’s a process that’s continuous and kills people in indirect ways instead of a big blast.

Can we stop reinventing the wheel constantly ffs?

Electric windows, electric handbrakes, computers in control of everything and now electric fucking doors?

What’s even the point besides artificially upping the price and selling it as a “luxury product” that can barely function in an emergency?

The “ch” affricate (which is t͡ʃ in the IPA) is a mix of a voiceless alveolar stop component and a post-alveolar fricative component. Because “y” is palatal, you end up getting that post-alveolar fricative component through coarticulation.
