For the millionth time there is no “fracture” over Israel and Iran among Democrats. Among Dem voters support for economic and military aid to Israel is at 20% (74% oppose) and support for war on Iran is 6%. The only fracture is between Dem voters and AIPAC-funded party leadership
@Dchab10@toebeans_l You’re shitposting your own daughter? You are obviously a piece of shit! Good luck to your daughter—her life will be better without you in it!
remember when young people on TikTok discovered the Osama Bin Laden letter to America published on the Guardian site wherein he talks about the Zionist Israeli occupation and destruction of Palestine fully backed by the US creating resentment in the entire region, it went viral, and then the Guardian responded by deleting the article and TikTok banned any mention of it?
The problem with Jeff Bezos' ideology is that it's based on a false premise. The idea that "six thousand years ago someone invented the plow" is based on a faulty belief that ancient humans functioned as individuals. They did not.
Ancient humans were collectivist. The likelihood that one individual invented anything is slim to none.
This is the myth of the genius.
Archeological evidence demonstrates that for hundreds of thousands of years, early humans congregated around communal gathering places, like the fire, and engaged in problem solving and passing on of shared learning down through generations.
Additionally, the plow (and tools like it) were developed by humans in Mesopotamia, Europe, Egypt, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa as well as other places - not in one place by one person. This is known as parallel development.
Believing that the plow was invented by one genius is like believing language was invented by one person. It is a silly myth and represents the projection of current moral standards onto past events.
This is called 'presentism' and it is both an uncritical and ignorant way to view history.
Social learning was the main driver of human evolution. Collectivism is how we both survived and progressed as a species.
The myth of the genius is an example of uncritical analysis and a flawed lens used to justify the grotesque hoarding of wealth and obscene inequality that is currently tearing at the social fabric our species.
It needs to be thrown on the trash heap of history.
@afneil Well you seem to have no problem splitting your time between your naff “villa” in the south of France and the UK, so I’m sure he’ll manage a regular train to Manchester
