true, they are bri*ish

TBH I don’t know much about Haiti but I’m pretty sure that the revolution let former Haitian slaves be better off, even if only for a little. It also demonstrated that it was indeed possible for slaves to revolt successfully against their masters.

Violence is the cause, not really the solution.

Well, it was both the cause and the solution, wasn’t it? WW2 did end Fascism in Europe, at least till the conditions that caused Fascism started reappearing around the world.

The reason I bring up the French Revolution is because it signifies the downfall of the aristocracy and the progress out of monarchism into capitalism. Not saying that France became a utopia afterwards, but it did represent societal progress in a way. What exactly do you mean by me viewing human rights as a progressive force?

How would this happen while the vast majority of Falklanders would rather stay part of the UK? I thought the UK is also in the red in terms of how much it costs to keep the Falklands vs its benefits

Didn’t the british colonize the falklands before argentina even stepped foot on it? The island didn’t have a native population either iirc so I think i’m actually on the UK’s side for once

Nice, I think the Robinson projection looks a bit better but this is still a huge step up from Mercator

because all the other countries are evil and don’t understand we’re trying to give them freedom /s

I’ll be sure to check those out!

It is about survival, but it absolutely can also be about advancing human rights. What about the violence used by slaves to overthrow their masters in the Haitian Revolution? What about the violence used to end the Holocaust? What about the violence in the French and October revolutions, which resulted in the creations of completely new economic systems? All of these resulted in an advancement of human rights in some way or another.

Aren’t you forgetting about the Black Panthers and the “violent” side of the civil rights movement? Violence is just a tool, it can be used for good or evil. And as much as I’d prefer to see the world improve without violence, I think any movement that gets too powerful will be forced to adopt violent countermeasures as a response to violent attacks from the ruling class.

I know they’re unrelated, I just thought they were when I first heard them because they were recommended right after a Molchat Doma song. It’s good to know they’re still famous though!

I think Franz Ferdinand might have a tough time with that

I started maining Dark Pit somewhat recently. He’s really fun and a jack of all trades, with a very good recovery

So are they just turning countries towards allying with China or what?

We’d already have a revolution by now if the time anarchists and MLs spend strawmanning each other was put to good use

Those are natural sciences there isn’t however a natural science. Similarly chemistry and biology aren’t sciences and physics isn’t really a thing anymore, it’s a older umbrella term that covered a bunch of stuff like mechanics and electromagnetism.

They both have zero ads for me ;)
