@imPenny2x It’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven - idk sounds like the pursuit of profits corrupts the soul

Believing in communism is basically the same thing as being possessed by a demon.

@meister_kwame Yes it does when you understand that the funds they are given are diverted back to those Western countries who provided the funding/aid in the first place. It’s just neoliberal policies implemented in countries with weak institutions.

African corruption doesn’t even make sense when you deep it . It’s beyond green . Why are you diverting funds meant for hospitals. Like what’s the point

@MwaivuKaluka Something to note is this conversation was had long before our time, Ngugi wa Thion’go discusses this in his book Decolonizing the Mind

This is what countries like China and Iran have been able to get rid of, while appreciating universality of knowledge of nature and society in general. We must look at our specific conditions
Sony Thăng@nxt888

Every discipline taught in the African university, law, political science, sociology, psychology, history, philosophy, arrives pre-structured by the civilization that created the current world order. Law arrives as English common law or French civil law, not as a tradition rooted in the actual governance practices of the societies it is supposed to serve. History arrives with the periodization of European history, ancient, medieval, modern, grafted onto societies for which none of these categories make sense and all of which imply that African history only becomes legible when it intersects with European history. Psychology arrives as a set of theories developed by studying largely white, educated, Western populations and declared universal. Philosophy arrives as a tradition that begins in Greece, passes through Rome, arrives in the European Enlightenment, and occasionally, generously, includes a footnote about African philosophy. The student who completes this education is not educated about their own world. They are educated into someone else's world. They graduate literate in the assumptions of their dispossession. And then they are asked to develop their country using these tools. The tools were built to explain a different house. They do not fit the door.

Why is attacking prowess given an edge over defensive brute in a title race when both are equally important aspects of the game?

Every Viltrumite we've seen has been fighting for thousands of years. Mark has been fighting for maybe 2. He shouldn't be anywhere near their level yet. So what actually explains how fast he's closing the gap?

@ivernverde This would only work if the light and dark spirits were bonded together but because they were not, the Avatar as we know them will only be inherently good because they inherit only the light spirit.

Eu vou mais longe e eu não gosto da ideia de que o avatar é sempre, hereditariamente bom. Queria muito um show em que o Avatar fosse um vilão? E o time contra eles fossem o protagonista, seria muito interessante
Bigsmokes 🗣️@smokesthegiant

genuinely I think there should be another dark avatar cycle in the avatar world that’s like the reincarnation vaatu and unalaq, same way there’s always a reincarnation of the Raava and a good avatar. What do you think? 🤔

When people say, no billionaire has “ethical wealth”? What exactly do they mean? JK Rowling became a billionaire from writing books. George Lucas made his money from creating Star Wars. How is any of these unethical?
Crochet Creator🧶@OreAkinde

I wish we can all turn away from money worshipping as a society. Nobody should be aspiring to be a billionaire. No billionaire has ethical wealth. The politicians who are also billionaires are the reasons why you are very poor. They don’t have your interest at heart.

@OyashirosTopGuy @kulture_66 Fair wage is paying every member of the operation enough to live. The surplus value the create - profits - should be split equally amongst them

@OyashirosTopGuy @kulture_66 @michaelinioluwa Ideally, trade labor for labor. Realistically, pay a fair wage. If you’re a small business generate revenue to maintain operations and split the profits amongst yourselves equally.

@ivusizzle @michaelinioluwa "now that they are billionaires, do they advocate for wealth taxes? Do they reinvest in the class positions they came from?" Before the Fantastic Beast movies, Rowling donated so much money she stopped being a billionaire.

@ivusizzle @Cary_Bleasdale @michaelinioluwa It wasn't "extracted" - it was paid for. For many, the work on those projects was one of the best parts of their lives. A true gift. You have an irrational pessimism and negativity that distorts your ability to see the world as it actually is.
