I hate to be a crude materialist about this, but it’s really the lead poisoning…that stuff was everywhere, an entire generation mass poisoned by one of the most insidious neurotoxins known to humankind, and the older they get, the more the literal brain damage manifests itself in more destructive and antisocial ways

I knew about lead poisoning growing up, but a few years ago after looking into the new research on lead exposure, I think the scale and true scope of the catastrophe has never been fully accounted for, imagine a scenario where hundreds of millions of people unknowingly imbibed a substance that would render them into borderline sociopaths with poor impulse control? Well that shit happened and it went on for decades

1. 1- labor and 2- Profit on alienation (i.e. buy cheap, sell dear) also known as arbitrage
2. Competition, but not how it’s define by neoclassical economists
3. Profit, you nailed it

Holy shit

Oh damn sorry I didn’t respond, your comment just didn’t get logged into my message notification for some reason

Anyway 15 days later lmao the questions are

1. How many sources of profit are there?
2. Does competition or monopoly define capital accumulation?
3. Is profitability or consumption the driving force of capitalist production?

lmao it looks like Putin is about to caress her face or something, what an unfortunate angle

Simple, you blast this song out of your car stereo

Purge the liberals, until then keep losing

The two have joined the chorus of dissent over the delisting purge, however. “The far-right is on the cusp of power, an unprecedented front has just been built on the left, and [France Insoumise] decides to fracture our movement and weaken this unity,” Autain wrote on Twitter/X. Hendrik Davi, a Marseille deputy and an ally of Autain, was among the ousted MPs. These deputies were likewise internal critics of the party line adopted in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, which the party referred to as an “armed offensive of Palestinian forces” in a press release that day. This further isolated France Insoumise and served as the final pretext for the Parti Socialiste’s suspension of the NUPES alliance in the National Assembly.

There it is, left-bashing Jacobin articles always bury the lead half-way down

To be fair people used to say that about a future global plague and then…

This country’s appetite for death is endless until it hits the suburbs

tldr; Left-bashing liberal copes about the historical consequences of his ideology for 25,000 words

Can they just run her already for fucks sake, they know they want to

Iranians are way too nice

To be honest I disagree, the whole problem is that there isn’t any Soviet Union analogue in the lore, after retaking the Imperial city the Empire was exhausted or more accurately Cyrodiil and Skyrim were exhausted, sure the Thalmor lost their main army, but their forces in Hammerfell were still intact and they hadn’t leveraged their reserves from the Isles, Valenwood and Elsweyr, the empire on the otherhand had leveraged all their reserves in retaking central Cyrodiil

What we have here is a raising early modern magical state pulling a fast one on a still feudal and fractured empire that had been declining for almost two centuries, over the course of which the Thalmor had been sailing from one victorious coup to the next, after the seizure of Elsweyr the balance of power had tipped and without the resources of Morrowind and Blackmarsh, the Mede dynasty could only rely on the strength of men, which when paired against the magic super-soldiers of the Altmer, the guerilla warriors of the Bosmer and the walking, talking lions of Elsweyr means any human who can’t do magic are gonna get their shit kicked in

The demand for the annexation of southern Hammerfell was always a red herring and a ploy to drive a wedge between the empire and one of its remaining stable provinces, the goal of the Thalmor was always the conquest of Cyrodiil above all else and while the lose of their main army was a set-back they knew they could afford to play the waiting game and pick-off more provinces

The White-Gold Concordat is a horrific treaty, but I agree with the take that the Mede dynasty had no choice, military exhaustion isn’t something that can just be ignored, but where the Medes made a mistake was in keeping the treaty intact for over twenty-years, at that point it’s no wonder the Nords started losing patience
