How do I read the article without paying?

Killing the Priest-King is an interesting article on the Indus Valley Civilisation.

The cities of the Indus civilization were expansive and planned with large-scale architecture and sophisticated Bronze Age technologies. Despite these hallmarks of social complexity, the Indus lacks clear evidence for elaborate tombs, individual-aggrandizing monuments, large temples, and palaces. Its first excavators suggested that the Indus civilization was far more egalitarian than other early complex societies, and after nearly a century of investigation, clear evidence for a ruling class of managerial elites has yet to materialize. The conspicuous lack of political and economic inequality noted by Mohenjo-daro’s initial excavators was basically correct. This is not because the Indus civilization was not a complex society, rather, it is because there are common assumptions about distributions of wealth, hierarchies of power, specialization, and urbanism in the past that are simply incorrect. The Indus civilization reveals that a ruling class is not a prerequisite for social complexity.

Thank you!

Thanks!

If they just seize it military style you’ll see a coup or a full-on war Egypt and Nasser-style. This way, at least, all there will be is just a lot of crocodile tears and demonising in western press and nothing else.

Thank you comrade

…all this to avoid the slight chance of norovirus. Life is pain.

Thanks for the step by step guide, btw. Appreciate it.

Brilliant idea lmao def gonna try that

Isn’t there some warning on atleast some frozen products to not refreeze them? I wonder if there is on frozen berries…

So many problems.

Frozen berries are way cheaper. It’s why I get them. But I guess I’ll try washing them and then putting in a freezer safe bag from now on.

Huh. I usually just put them straight in a blender for my smoothie. Never even considered I might have to wash, though I always wash fresh berries. Will have to research more.

Now you post yours.

His coverage of Kamala, especially the last couple days, has not been just analyzing the “horse race”. I’m not saying he agrees with her policies/actions.

But his coverage has been focused on getting her elected, becuase to him she is good enough while Biden was not. This might even be your position. But where I draw the line, and where it really galls me, is when he lies about her record and views on Palestine.

What was a redline when it came to Biden is just an inconvenient truth to be hidden and ignored until the election.

None of what Squirrel has talked regarding Kamala on Palestine has gotten any coverage on Hasan’s streams. When her views on Palestine come up, in fact, you could be forgiven for assuming she is even pro-Palestine (at least compared to others near her position), if all you do is watch Hasan.

You cannot say the “threads” are good and defend how Hasan has been glazing Kamala the past few days.

I’ll stick to the topic of Palestine: Ever since Biden dropped out, Hasan has consistently talking about how Kamala is good on Palestine. Even before, he talked of how Kamala distanced herself from Biden’s pro-genocide position, bringing up that one clip where she said the word “ceasefire” as if that’s proof.

This is either a lie while he knows the truth that Squirrel has pointed out in multiple threads (more than the two I linked), in which case Hasan is being a grifter liar, hiding the truth from his audience for other domestic considerations.

Or he doesn’t know just how horrible Kamala is on Palestine, in which case he is irresponsible and uninformed, misleading his massive audience like the blind leading the blind. He calls himself a political commentator - it’s his responsibility to be informed on the policies and actions of the Democratic Presidential nominee.

Hasan said how he was not going to vote for Biden because of his pro-genocide actions. Kamala has the same positions, even worse in some cases. Yet Hasan is not pointing those out, either due to his own ignorance or for other reasons. Both are bad.
