Military might and Class Power Structure 🧵
Military might is the basis of all power, it's not the only kind of power but an actor who uses force can only be effectively stopped with greater force. Because of this iron law of nature nations tend toward rewarding the classes who contribute most to military might with privileges and status. Nations which neglect to do this put themselves at greater risk of invasion from without or political upheaval from within. Here are some examples throughout history of the relationship between the power structure of society and who is most accomplished at performing that society's violence. I will focus on Western History as that is where I am most knowledgeable.
A Savannah man accused of attempting to rape a woman at Daffin Park had reportedly been arrested 22 TIMES since 2020 — including 8 times this year alone.
Police say Lashawa Doyle had been out of jail for just 17 days when the alleged attack happened.
@Pain_Redux@sneed_emmanuel@novemberinrie@fitnessfeelingz In declaring most men don’t want trannies she doesn’t just “own the transphobes” but also makes any trannies who follow her feel unwanted. Trannies aren’t necessarily known to handle their insecurities well….
@OrwellNGoode This would make someone a shitton of profit, and therefore the company would expand and human well being would improve. Profit and human wellbeing arent opposites, actually they mean the same thing as long as everyone can participate in a strong and healthy economy

@cimmerian_v Only made it a few episodes in. The empire story was peak but the foundation was excruciating.
In the year of our lord 2021 the only way to make a tv show about powerful white boy emperors and their motion was to balance it with a story all about a nons
@paxclementia@xwanyex In a perfect world, no one would need to look healthier to do their job.
In our world, the world with the so called halo effect, its hard to blame women for playing the game.
@Nemtastic1@xwanyex Leftist then proceed to change the social structure, see it hasn’t changed what they wanted, and conclude they simply haven’t changed it enough. They even blame the negative externalities caused by these changes on the particular bogeyman they claim to be fighting.
@dadchords@CollinRugg@justVasso She also promoted ideas and material during her leadership which she either refuses to publicly avow, or else she was ignorant to its content while promoting it. Either way is a bad look.
@Ingridpilled I would argue the sex scene in Obsession, while nikki moans with apparent pleasure her face is totally blank. Really effective way to visually show how the curse warps her, she gets no enjoyment of her own save in trying to make him lover her more.
@ThomBrady5 I agree with the goal of weakening Iran, possibly seeking regime change and opening the nation to US economic interests, but can this be achieved with a limited air campaign?
@ploughmansfolly I’ll always remember the parable of the stinging nettle he used to illustrate this
Tender-handed stroke a nettle,
And it stings you, for your pains:
Grasp it, like a man of mettle,
And it soft as silk, remains.
Time to stop caressing the nettle and instead grasp it with mettle
