I think these things work in tightly knit societies where everyone more or less knows each other and these “criminal” behaviors were found to be universally unacceptable. In a modern society with a high degree of anonymity the after effect

We’re still will to dedicate large amounts of resources for building museums, concert halls and other public buildings that fundamentally don’t really have a more practical purpose than medieval churches.

Churches did serve a very practical purpose though. They were gathering places and centers of socio-political power. Unlike the pyramids ordinary people could enter churches at any time. And for most churches were the only places were they

Deflationary money would be a pretty bad thing. Good thing ETH is not money. It might potentially be a good asset to store value in, sure

Technically correct. They voted to not join so couldn’t leave. Of course they are in Schengen and the free trade area so basically in the EU for the most part

Well Wilson wasn’t a progressive. But yeah allowing the Federal government to have more power is definitely a double-edged sword

by yywwbbn 4y ago
