- wartywhoa23 9mo agoSlight correction: the power others gave them a long time ago, and now nothing can help those others take it back without uprooting the whole civilization in the process. Current power is a malignant formation too advanced to heal without destroying the whole organism. Or so it seems, I'd really like to be wrong here.
- mmooss 9mo agoIt's not a slight correction, those claims are the exact problem - the propaganda of the powerful: Give up, there is nothing you can do. People in democracies can easily vote to change where power lies (that is, power lies ultimately with the citizens), if that's what they want, and it's not hard to see how: The current situation is highly unusual for democracies; there is a long history of what to do and how to do it. A major reason they don't do it is that they keep reading and believing they are powerless.
- vee-kay 9mo agoThe concept of "police" came up through "private militia" hired as. Most of the world enjoys 5-day workweek (40 hours work per week). But the world got this work schedule only due to workers (mostly working in mines and railways) and labor unionists who fought and died for favourable work conditions and fair working schedule. The rich elites even sent Pinkertons to assassinate the "rebel" leaders. It was Henry Ford who finally saw the writing on the wall, and he announced the 40-hours workweek in his company, and thus ushered in the modern era of work-life balance.

"Police force" was created not for liberty, justice, and public good - it was created to brutally quell poor folks rising against rich tyrants, it was created as a weapon to ensure the rich stayed rich.

- Windchaser 9mo ago>The ease of this "just" is the most concerning thing in the context of humankind's survival. Right? I wouldn't expect genes for heat/cold tolerance in other organisms to necessarily be useful in humans. They work by mechanisms that are useful for that organism, but humans have our own set of problems. It's like saying you can strap a jet engine on to a tractor and expect farm work to massively speed up. No: the machinery doesn't translate for a clean swap like that.
