"If you're trapped in the dream of the other, you're fucked." - Gilles Deleuze

They will agree with you, yes, but you will seldom change their convictions because they don't appreciate the implications of their consent in relation to their own country. No, we must find common ground. The issues that Americans voting Trump face are by and large the same that every American...

You certainly have a history with communism which to this day hurts the prospects of social reform. I suppose Noam Chomsky did a piece on it. I think people are manipulated into being fearful and selfish. I suppose he did a piece on that too. It's worth a read. I believe that if I take someone's...

These much.

It will be interesting to see if the Democrats can become a progressive party and - if not - whether an eligible alternative may be construed. It's going down in the US! Obviously the majority of Americans are progressive (or support progressive politics such as universal healthcare) and both...

So did or did he not refuse to shake hands with her?

What this guy said: Humans are gods. I'm sure there's a chance that a couple of billion years from now, we humans know how to create universes.

But then again, have we actually figured out what will happen in 30 trillion years? I suppose there's a number of unknown unknowns. :)

Living in Denmark I can tell you that it's a matter of time before it all explodes. People everywhere are fed up. I just hope that people can stick together during those times and won't prey upon the weak.

Could use one right about now.

I believe that's the bare minimum. We (people who are alive at this point in time) have the torch and soon we will have to pass it on. Unwillingly, of course but not unwittingly. We have a responsibilitity. It's IRL. It's the very same responsibility that our forefathers - knowingly or...

Sry but I did not read any of this tread. I can't. I'm baked. I just want to say that this too is a matter national security; sure, we (NA + EU) will be able to handle the floods (We will lose a lot of lives though. And dollars too). But we already witnessed the consequences of climate change in...

Went to see my family today. I just got home and lit myself a spliff naturelle. About to read some Habermas knowing that I won't understand half of it. I don't mind it though: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." Really I just need to mellow out right now...

You don't understand just how much this made my day. <<<3

Surely,religion has caused misery for hardship. But so has everything, right? A lot of people has lost their lives in the name of democracy and freedom. More importantly, a lot of people have fallen victim to military and economic violence legitimised by reference to principles of freedom. The...

I think it's actually illegal to express support for ISIS in Denmark, so even if I did I wouldn't say so.

Almost choked on my spliff when I read this. Macchiavelli himself could not have said it better.

I understand from Wikipedia* that there's some doubt, as to whether Juche* ought to be considered a political philosphy or a religion. I don't know, so feel free to link to a better source if you feel like it. I believed North Korea to be secular due to their Marxist-Lenist-inspired ideology...

Not far from it. I believe the church has become better the more democratic values it has adopted. Secular does not necessarily mean democratic. North Korea is a great example of that.
