"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."

Now add "workers share of GDP" to that graph.

You'll find the lines track quite closely.

As David Ricardo observed in the late 1700s, typically women will not settle down and have children until they have the same level of financial security their parents had at the same life-stage.

The Pill just meant they could have sex in the meantime.

They didn't have the soldiers, before, but they can now build their own soldiers.

They should try, again. Moscow is wide open.

Nope.

This constant focus on the state is a distraction. The states are all bankrupt. All state assets have already been sold to the super-rich. The states now have to borrow those same assets back, paying ...

The billionaire is nothing without State violence behind him.

Everything from shares in legally-established monopolies/oligopolies to privileged access to (newly-created) credit to permits to bailouts and grants comes from the State.

We have the most feckless and weak ruling class seen since the fall of Tsarist Russia. And they are creating hard times ahead...

That is simply not true. Billionaires can have private armies. And, as of now, they can have private robot armies.

I mean, you speak of Russia. Russia has a private army called Wagner, that attempted to overthrow the government.

Copyright laws in general are a weird concept to me, how do you have ownership over something that doesn’t physically even exist

If every printer in the realm requires a licence from Your Majesty, copyright royalties are a great way to reward your most obsequious flatterers - and at the book-buyer's expense!

Every author who doesn't flatter you is simply deplatformed.

It was a great system (for those at the top), until some ratbag invented low-cost digital copying...

"White women tears" don't work that way for men.

Or even for women of colour.

"Its not hypocrisy, its hierarchy"
- Rod Dreher


I have seen men trap The System into treating their issue as seriously as a middleclass white woman's, but it requires deep knowledge of the system, a specific inflexible government mandate, a digital/paper trail, and a willingness to be a little bitch.

No, your sources are puff pieces with more "spherical cows" than an undergrad physics paper.

You are at liberty to use Google Scholar to DYOR for reals.

All readers should, but beware of special pleading - veganism is not a disclosable interest for authors, but it probably should be.
