Hmmmm. And Shintoism?

Edit: I'm being cheeky. Looks like religion turns itself into tribalism when a certain population point is reached.

Buddhism is pretty alright though, isn't it?

Authoritarianism != Communism

Communism is about the power of the working class, seizing the means of production, and self governance. No government has effectively put into practice communist practices because the concept of government itself is contrary to communism.

There's been a decades long movement in the US to demonise communism (and socialism) in favour of capitalism. There used to be overtly communist political groups in America.

Anyway, it's an interesting read. I highly recommend you read up about communism and what it stands for. Also capitalism because we're all more or less living in a crony capitalist world.

And who will decide what is good and bad behaviour? Hmm? And what advantage will society as a whole get from this?

Hmmmm. That kind of sounds like corrupt rich people.

His rebuttals are pretty much DARVO. You can also tell he's getting fired up and tripping up.

Holy cow. I wish I had me some popcorn.

Because it's really tasty!

Same goes for anything artificial. Sour cream and chives chips, burger rings, cordial etc. We eat it because it tastes good.

Nope. Depends on the parent. I still got beat up in the 80s/90s for closing the door too loudly, hitting my brother, waking mum up from an afternoon nap etc. It stopped when I was 17 because I was big enough to hit back (though I never did).

Is this when they realise that infinite growth isn't actually infinite? There's always a place for a device for entertainment. Be that pen and paper or electronic.
