@dixiewoodsman @Echoes_Hirose @ServsX @CalltoActivism Nah from Columbia and the University of Sydney. Straight ivy. But don’t worry you couldn’t get into an University in India either lol🤣🤣🤣

[Ravi Shankar, PhD @empurpler]

@dixiewoodsman @Echoes_Hirose @ServsX @CalltoActivism Actually you lack any semblance of critical reasoning, empathy, moral clarity, ethical understanding, in short the qualities that differentiate us from the crabs. But yeah, you good 👍🏽

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

Israel killed Rico Pramudia in South Lebanon.

He died of his injuries today.

He wasn’t a fighter — he was a UN PEACEKEEPER from Indonesia.

Israel killed him anyway.

And not a single whisper from Western media.

No international outrage. No justice. No accountability.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent.

Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.
