In many cities they just bring it up again and again until it passes. They only need to win once, we need to win every time. That's the problem.

While this is certainly the more interesting question, the unfortunate reality is that the ideological complex of capital (even if weakening, and no longer effectively reproducing itself) is still strong enough that most in the West can&#x2

First of all, you're confusing different events: iconoclasm was the destruction of Christian icons, by Christians who thought that practice was idolatrous. > the battles were so bloody that the Christian victors not only converted

This comment certainly does not scan as AI! Look, this isn't perfect, but it's the best we've got, and so long as AI writing is meaningfully worse than human writing, people are going to try to tell the difference.

This seems interesting, but has so many signs of AI writing that I worry it's not just edited but generated from whole cloth. Probably still a lot of truth in there but it does give me pause! > The roundness is the signal. > Slig

I do think there's more class granularity than that, and it's important to understand how such distinctions can make it more or less difficult to organize and cooperate. E.g. the idea of a petit bourgeoisie is useful for understan
