I’m not sure if what you shared invalidates what I said at all… Wikipedia is 1st of all not the best source for these kinds of things. But even they say the policy only applied to 35.4% of the population only 4 years after it was first implemented. And it was loosened up even more over time.
What are you trying to say with that quote…?
Bees are one of the only animals we observed to understand the concept of 0. They can do algebra. They can communicate complex ideas to each other, like the relative position of the sun accounting for the passage of time.
And for silly facts, carpenter bees don’t have stingers. They live in procreating pairs. The males usually defend the nest. But without stingers, what can they do? Well they fly around their nest and “bump” their heads into threats. Over and over. Until the threat leaves, feeling threatened by the little bee.
If you’ve never gotten a little bumblebee headbutt, you feel really special. Like “wow little guy, thanks for saying I’m big and scary”.
Bees are cool. Some might say they are the bees knees even!
Economics IS politics. There isn’t an “economy” that isn’t political.
“See China is imperialistic! This is the same as the IMF financial-colonialism.”
I’m just guessing tho
The 1 child policy only ever applied to around 30% of the population anyways. It was just Han Chinese in major urban centers.

The Soviets kept the Nazi scientists in prison tho… and after they finished their work they were left to rot.
Stalin famously wanted to execute every single military officer from Nazi Germany after the war, and Churchill threw a hissy fit saying “they didn’t deserve it, they were just protecting their country like any good (white, racist) man would!”.
And then the US “rehabilitated” many of the Nazis and put them into positions of power, in the West German US occupied territories, in the nascent NATO, in the US itself….
You shouldn’t need to rewrite anything for your world with the new rules. It’s 99% mechanic updates.
It rebalances the classes, martials v. magic users etc.
I’d say I liked the changes, and I think it makes sense to just allow the players to use the changed classes according to their wish (you have to use the whole class tho, base+sub). And if you like them, use the updated rules for magic, weapons etc. Weapon mastery is p cool.
But like it doesn’t take a full conversion, you can take just some of the updated rules as they fit into your playstyle, world and desires.
And it’s been happening for decades already! Like it never stopped. We put the fear of god into their hearts in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and they never recovered.
A special armed squad to protect capital was born because they understand class war even better than most current leftists.
Even after they “won” they just doubled down because unlike working class libs, they know class war will not end until one or all of us are done for.
Like exactly the same thing happened during alcohol prohibition. Beer disappeared, and spirits got harder and harder.
Seriously, what is up with us as a species? Are we still adapting to being able to record history?
Except no? The capitalist class historically bands together to fight possible revolutions and the working class 100% of the time. They are more class conscious, meaning they understand their position better, and start working to protect it sooner than the working class can perceive the class conflict escalating.
Just look at what’s happening right now! The far-right is rising all over the “west”, worker protection laws are being eroded, pensions “reformed”.
It’s undeniable the capitalist class is much more united and organized. It doesn’t matter if they’ll or do stab each other in the back behind the scenes.
They have a natural sense for “democratic centralism” it seems, cause their outward actions are always united against us.
DPRK confirmed The Good Place.
Then bring you back a couple of years later just to freak out the people
Varoufakis is a commie so the book doesn’t make a case for “ethical capitalism”, no. Not sure if he is a Marxist, but I’m pretty sure he has called for a revolution many times.
Edit: I think his point is not so much that we’re at a completely different system, but that the current mutation of capitalism is so far removed from what people think of as capitalism that we need new language to talk about it.
Honestly the let’s plays will be epic tho. Pure chaos.
You say that in a joking tone, but it’s literally true 😔
This is very confusing…
So the people against the plan are “investors and financial institutions”. And people want the president to “respect democracy”.
But the plan is to have judges be democratically elected instead of appointed?
Feels like the elites don’t like this plan cause it’ll be slightly harder to handpick their guys to the courts, and are on a media campaign against it.
Buddy if you’re small and fuzzy you can do whatever you want and people will love you. That’s just one of the laws of physics or some nerd bs
