No, in actuality. People criticize Trump daily without fear of repercussions. He's not a king or a dictator. Much of his agenda is being put in check by the other two branches of government.

How do you achieve this without creating a brutal authoritarian regime to seize the means of production and silence opposition? How do you allocate resources and labor fairly? Marxism is a flawed ideology because it doesn’t account for hum

The problem is that communism can’t give you a fair society. You have to seize the means of production by force. This force has always created a brutal authoritarian regime that refuses to cede power willingly. Like in the book Animal Fa

I've found that you can mostly just use old Delphi books as a starting point for learning Lazarus.

Have you looked at Free Pascal and Lazarus? It's an excellent open source and cross-platform implementation of Object Pascal and Delphi. https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

I've read The Communist Manifesto. There are indeed parts of it that are sensible in isolation. The problem is that taken as a whole, Marxism, Leninism, Maoism, etc. are deeply flawed ideologies doomed to catastrophic failure and dev

I guess maybe the blue cities push the Marxism/Communism propaganda, but I don’t think the rest of the state does.

That is terrifying. Do they just not teach in schools how devastating every Marxist/Communist regime has been? Do people really think somehow that next time will magically be different despite all historical evidence pointing to the

It’s better for kids too. I’m not even saying that it needs to be the mother, but it’s better if someone can stay home to raise the children.

Thank you for all you do! A lot of people are quick to dismiss Perl, but it’s still so important and does things that other languages don’t.

These companies are not doing anything amoral here. If the developers of these open source projects expect to be paid for their work by any means other than voluntary donations they should use different licenses.

OBS is a service that SUSE provides to the greater open source community free of charge for everyone’s benefit. It’s not a great example of greedy corporations taking more than they give back.

The article isn’t very clear about this, did they have any reason to suspect that these 2 Soldiers had personally committed war crimes or were they arrested only on the basis of them being IDF? If it’s the former, then good on them. If it

Bluey is so good that it's worth the subscription to Disney+ all on its own. It is hands down, the best children's cartoon I've ever seen. My kids are starting to outgrow it unfortunately, but when they were younger they wo

I would argue it's the best children's cartoon ever. Also, as a dad, Bandit's character is so well written. I relate to him in every single episode that I've watched. Nearly every other dad character in children's

To the military's credit, at least in the Army, financial literacy is now part of the mandatory initial entry training that Soldiers are required to go through. There is also another round of basic financial literacy classes that are

I think people misunderstand how MWR funds work. The military isn't taking this gambling money to buy bombs and bullets with. The funds that the military themselves provide for MWR are very small. Most MWR facilities and activities a

Divorce can be very traumatic for men. Usually the best case scenario is that the man loses half his financial assets, gets 50% custody of his children, and is on the hook for significant child support payments. This completely blows up th
