The job description is literally to protect the powers that be and in exchange get your own authority to power-trip on too. It is fundamentally a reactionary job that should not exist, and neither should the system they protect.

How’d it go?

A wee bit sad that people say this now when immigrants have pretty much always been legally required to have their papers. It is shit but has always been shit.

Hell even in Ireland a legal alien must always have their residence permit with them.

Very fucked if you live on an island though. Not only do you need to be rich, you need a visa.

At least the Dominican Republic will be getting a new penal code this year that allows it in cases of life-threatening complications this year. Then you can pray that the courts let your doctor do it instead.

Ah my bad didn’t realise that was the same guy in the screenshot and the reply chain

Sorry if I am misunderstanding you, but not every Marxist is a tankie.

If this person doesn’t trust you, you probably can’t get deep-seated beliefs out of them.

If they trust you, you have to make the slowly nudge them towards making the conclusions themselves. Ask a lot of questions, talk about how reigning in the corporations rather than unshackling them would be better at ending corporatism, and over time move towards more fundamental questions.

The ability to persuade someone of a viewpoint depends on how many assumptions, previously arrived at conclusions, and morals you share.

Conserva means tinned food in Russian. This would work too given the stereotypes of the sort who would eat tinned food.

A bit of classism involved, but meh.

Besides the hamsickle and its unfortunate connotations, there’s the red flag and, if we count them in the same group, the various bits of symbolism anarchists use.

Maybe it was a BDSM thing

Rights are not given, they’re taken.

The article you sent does not say that anyone can do it with 15 min. of training. It speaks of different levels of activity in different parts of the brain in an MRI scan. I myself do not have an MD, but I’m pretty sure reading an MRI to look at brain activity takes a little bit more effort.

I may have misinterpreted your previous message a bit as well, but as I understood it you implied that the way your amygdala is determines your political leanings. The article says it may be the other way around, like with London cab drivers having their brains change as they study the layout of the city. I’m sorry if I misunderstood you there.

Have a good day and thanks for sending this :)

Trump himself said the migrants are poisoning the blood of the country.

Is that the one where you roll for anal circumference?
