Where I live the Russia supporters are usually the ones wearing T shirts with the sickle and hammer symbols or the Che Guevara images.

By that logic we don't really have capitalism and there was never true fascism or national socialism. What a weird relativistic world view.

Unfortunately there are still a few of countries today. Not so long ago there were dozens of them. Their recent history is fairly well documented. You can read it your self how life there was nothing but a struggle with no chance of success

In my view majority of workers are as productive at home as they are in the office or more. The “body doubling” also happens at home, when more family members work from home. There is also much less interruptions and noise polution at home.

You are right, I did forget about Macrinus (mixed Geta's timeline). Though I don't agree with your point still standing. Him being an emperor for a short time was more of a fluke rather than an indicator of something common. Rome

Caracalla could not possible be only of Berber ancestry, since neither of his parents were Berber. His father (Septimius Severus, the first "African emperor") was of Punic and Italic origins. Caracalla's mother (Julia Domna)

By Roman I meant having Italic roots. It is a bit disingenuous to call them them indigenous or ethnically African. Especially because his father was of Punic origin and not a Berber as you are implying.

Septimius Severus was not black. He may had darker skin, but was not sub Saharan black.

There are still plenty of villages in Europe, where older people, who don't go to the cities, have never seen a black person in real life in their lives. So I would dare to guess very very few people saw a black women in mid 1800s in T

>>There were Roman emperors who were indigenous to (Northern) Africa. They were decedents of Roman people living there and not sub Saharan Africans.

Is there a point to your rhetorical question or do you have troubles understanding the difference between an ideal component vs a real component in a live system?

Your statement about transformers makes little sense within a context of power grids. You start by pushing power into 230 V system, which has a maximum tolerance of around 250V, after that you can damage electrical equipment connected to th

Not really true. Power from distant nuclear reactor or any other big generator comes over high voltage lines with small loses. Power from your panels go straight in the low voltage network which has high loses and is used for very short dis

The dutch government is spending more time on virtue signaling towards eastern European countries and squashing its ideological opponents (beating up protestors and shooting farmers) than dealing with issues of their country.

It is amazing how well we can adapt to the food source available. Unfortunately some people don't care about that amazement. They are preoccupied forcing their dietary and moral habits onto the others.

I know. People think Mediterranean food is just some fish with vegetables and olive oil, which couldn't be further from the truth.

> Mediterranean diet, one which involves no red meat There is no such thing, at least not for the people who live around the Mediterranean.

Good luck eating plant based diet in the woods and steppes of Northern America, Europe and Asia.

Your understanding would be wrong for at least temperate climate zones (North America, Europe, much of Asia, forest and steppes alike). Not much grows there for half a year. Meat is around all the time.
