Well they are auditions rather than interviews. So it seem to be accurate.

Wow. That's just ahistorical sociopathy. Are you willfully ignoring that many of the consequences are not caused by their decisions. > Reparations is to help white guilt not the wronged people Non-sense. Because you feel it is?

The King is the cause of the suffering. To partly alleviate it is not a noble act.

Yes, to extend democracy to the economic sphere.

You're just parroting free market propaganda and still have the stomach to dismiss the author as an ideolog.

Not the current system? I recommend reading the author's book "The Divide" if you want information to nuance that. The act of calling someone intersectional doesn't exactly make you look ideologically unbiased either.

You rarely see people on the bottom of the ladder argue that inequality isn't that important. Prosperity doesn't say anything about how the resources are shared, so yes, 1890ths England was surely one of the most prosperous countr

You can't see how superficial that is?

Reparations is not interference. Debt forgiveness is not interference. An IMF loan that's granted if certain "reforms" are introduced is though.

So your suggestion is to shut up and be happy?

The idea is to focus on solving the cause not the symptoms. Should a philanthropic King that still supports and perpetuates absolute monarchy be honored for his gifts (which themselves ultimately are created by his subjects labour)?

What's unclear to you? How I read it is that the established way to measure poverty is largely just a way to justify and paint a rosy picture of the status quo, not based on actual on-the-ground facts of what number that actually lifts

Something that is better at solving inequality. Something that aims towards egalitarianism, not property ownership. Capitalism have had a couple of hundreds of years or so now, and it still haven't succeeded in this, even with all the

What do you mean by "dripping with intersectionalism"? > these countries it's that they are improving and improving rapidly. The entire argument is that this is actually not happening. The figures are just doctored instead

And you think this hold true for the average worker, rather than the pretty obvious exceptions that make $20-30/hour?

Do you think that given the choice, workers would prefer tips and an unlivable wage, above a livable wage and no tips?

I think the most obvious bias/skew is towards defending the merits of upper middle-class western lifestyle rather than any particular subject in itself. Obviously that will cause certain subjects to be more vehemently defended than oth

Uhm, what? Philippines, Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Russia etc? All before WW2.

You blatantly cherry-picked the 45% number, but you seemed to ignore that part of my reply. Also, why are you changing the subject to what's allowed to be said or not? Trump's madness wouldn't be viable in the EU either.

Sigh, that's just so blatant cherry-picking. Macron is deeply unpopular for his neo-liberal "reforms" that caused the yellow vests protests, a head-to-head polling against other candidates would likely render similar results.

No it's not. There's no "founders" in the sense that you are trying to present. There's no organization that you join. You're pretty obviously implying that these protests are somehow linked to Marxism, otherwi

"They're Marxists!". You couldn't make it up. "We want peace"-America will always go down this route it seems. Haven't you seen the amount of people that are participating in these demonstrations? Of cours

I think the C# example is pretty dense to parse tbh, I need to match parenthesizes and partial results back and forth during mental parsing. Also, how would you go about stepping through those iterations in a debugger? It's just so fra
