AS A BRIT LIVING IN BULGARIA it is astonishing to me how many things here are FREE
Parks, Dog parks, Football pitches, out door gyms, out door swimming pools, beach showers, kids rides, busses are flat rate 70p, works busses are free, out door opera, ballet - free.
You dont need any money to have a nice day out here...

AS SOMEONE WHO WORKED WITH the victims of narcissistic abuse - it has ALL the hallmarks of a victim escaping an abuser.
This is exactly how the victims of severe abuse behave for the first 6 months to 3 years after escaping their abuser. They live out of suitcases, they travel constantly to avoid being followed by the abuser, they keep coded notes of facts - partly to prove their sanity, partly to prove they are being stalked if they are, they have very poor personal hygiene, they have several badly constructed identities, they have crude disguises, they buy shoes - as the first step in their rehabilitation - its always shoes, they have sleeping tablets, they tend to OD unintentionally and intentionally on sleeping tablets, and the final thing...
Narcissists have a habit of setting their victims on fire!
I have two clients that have been set on fire. Narcissists also have a habit of drugging their victims, I have hundreds this has happened to.
For me, the similarities are astounding. I talk with people living like this every day of the week. I think her abuser caught up with her...
EDIT - cutting labels out of clothing - Narc abuse victims do this as well. they are financially controlled by their abusers so they cut the labels out of clothing to disguise that they have spent money on clothing. They then usually say they got them at a second-hand shop.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO's I have watched in a LONG time, you have touched on SO MANY things that I have thought or felt myself...
1) People in the past DID NOT LIKE being uncomfortable or wet or cold or too hot any more than we do - that revelation came as a shock to me
2) Strange "fashions" of the past usually had purpose - "plus fours" look a bit daft, until you walk your dog through long wet grass and suddenly you realise WHY people wore them
3) I have literally developed an appreciation of the season I never had from being dressed appropriately FOR the season - there is NO such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing
4) Cloaks are the single best garment in history [your Winter outfit] there is a reason people wore cloaks for over 2000 years - quick to put on, super warm, waterproof, comfortable BRILLIANT
5) Modern clothing is baggy or elasticated to make up for not fitting AT ALL. Close fitted clothing that FITS is WAY more comfortable than baggy
6) Insulation works BOTH ways - a thick wool hat will keep your head cool in 40ºC direct sunlight
7) Wool is the king of fabrics, it keeps you warm, it keeps you cool, it keeps you dry and its a joy to sew with
8) Silk is the queen of fabrics, it keeps you warm, it keeps you cool, it looks gorgeous and its horrible to sew with

@yarpenzigrin1893 HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA Like every single aspect of American life.
Here in Bulgaria, kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to stay couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
OH and you get 2 years of parental leave from work when you have a kid. And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.
YOUR way of raising children would LITERALLY be considered child abuse here.

MY LIFE IS BETTER when it has a lot of hand sewing in it, like you I meditate whilst I sew and I find it extremely beneficial for my mental health.
I also NEVER do housework when it HAS to be done, I never nagg myself that it should be done, I do it when I feel like it - and guess what, it all gets done, we exhaust ourselves with our internal nagging, and when I do it, I try to do each thing correctly and with calm dedication, I ONLY do that ONE task that I am doing, I'm not rushing to the next, I wash the plate I hold.

I LIVE IN A 15 MINUTE CITY I save €10k a year of car expenses. I NEVER throw food away even though I have no refrigerator - I buy the food I want to eat THAT DAY.
95% of my existence is within 1000m of my apartment including parks, out door gyms, pools, meadow, restaurants, coffee houses, bars, playgrounds, DIY store, butcher, baker [no candle stick maker], greengrocer. I go to the city centre about once every 3 months. I used to have a Merc S500, now I don't have a car. I spend less on transport a year than I used to parking in 1 month.

In 2014 I was worth €6 million After the novelty wore off, I was not happy, but being a good capitalist I thought "well, it must be because Im not rich ENOUGH, a few more million will make me happy"
Scroll forwards to now - I lost everything due to brain damage suffered in a mugging BUT... I can already see that my thinking, even at that low level of wealth, had started to completely change. 1) The inability to see that no amount of money would ever make me happy, if €6 million cant fix it, €100 million won't, you are unhappy cos you are messed up 2) my lack of attention to the rules and norms of society, like parking restriction, they didn't apply to me cos I could afford the fine.
Billionaires might not start off psychopaths, but 100% of billionaires ARE psychopaths.

Here is a list of treaties that the United States has broken or pulled out of since its founding in 1776
Treaty with the Delawares/Treaty of Fort Pitt (1778): The first treaty between the U.S. and an Indigenous nation. The treaty stipulated peace and mutual support against the British, but in 1782, Pennsylvania militiamen murdered almost 100 Lenape citizens at Gnadenhutten
.
Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1784): The Iroquois Confederacy ceded part of New York and Pennsylvania in return for the U.S. protecting tribal lands from further settlement. However, the U.S. did not enforce the treaty terms, and the Iroquois Confederacy's lands continued to shrink
.
Treaty of Hopewell (1785-86): Three treaties signed by the U.S. and the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Nations promised protection and no future settlement on tribal lands. Despite this, white settlers continued to encroach on treaty territory
.
Treaty of Canandaigua/Pickering Treaty (1794): The U.S. returned over a million acres of Iroquois land and recognized the sovereignty of the Six Nations. However, the land was eventually lost to U.S. expansion, and the tribes were forced to relocate
.
Treaty of Greenville (1795): The tribes of the Northwestern Confederacy ceded large tracts of land in the Great Lakes region, but white settlers continued to expand into treaty lands
.
Treaty with the Sioux (1805): Gen. Zebulon Pike allegedly obtained cession of 100,000 acres of land from Dakota leaders, but the treaty was not officially proclaimed by the president, and the purchase price was adjusted without proper consultation
.
Treaty of Fort Wayne (1809): The Potawatomi were forced to cede land, and in 1838, the U.S. government enforced their removal through a 660-mile forced march, resulting in many deaths
.
Fort Laramie Treaty (1851): The treaty defined the territory of the Great Sioux Nation and promised protection from American citizens, but settlers and the U.S. military violated the treaty and invaded Lakota lands
.
Treaties of Traverse des Sioux and Mendota (1851): The Dakota and Mendota ceded millions of acres of land in exchange for reservations and payment, but they never received either provision, and the U.S. Senate eliminated the reservation provision
.
Land Cession Treaty with the Ojibwe/Treaty of Washington (1855): The Ojibwe ceded land but retained hunting and fishing rights on ceded territory. However, Minnesota later outlawed hunting and harvesting without a license on off-reservation land, violating the treaty
.
Medicine Lodge Treaty (1867): The treaty relocated Plains tribes onto reservations, but the U.S. violated the terms by withholding payments, preventing hunting, and reducing reservation sizes
.
Fort Laramie Treaty (1868): Established the Great Sioux Reservation and protected the Black Hills, but the discovery of gold in 1874 led to the U.S. redrawing the boundaries to allow mining
It goes on for page after page after page...!!!

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES ‘He sent a car to my school to take me out of lessons’
As her taxi approached Russell Brand’s home, Alice remembers the driver begging her not to go inside. Recognising the destination, he had started to ask questions. Alice admitted she was 16 and still in school.
She says the driver replied that his daughter was the same age and entreated Alice: “Please, I’m asking you not to go in there, you could be my little girl, and I would want someone to do this for her.” He offered to take her home without charge, but Alice insisted she was fine. “He had just such a sad look in his eyes,” she recalls.
Alice, whose name we have changed to protect her identity, now realises that she wasn’t fine. During a relationship that lasted for about three months when Brand was a BBC radio presenter, she says that he referred to her as “the child” and alleges that he became increasingly controlling, and then emotionally and sexually abusive.

I live in Bulgaria - I am seriously thinking of starting a secular monastery for people who are sick of the modern world, just want a simple life, grow food, make beer, read books, discuss philosophy or science, build new buildings, breathe clean air, drink fresh water, fish, and sleep soundly...

THE WAY AMERICA TREETS ITS CHILDREN IS CHILD ABUSE Your worship of your God money and consumerism has destroyed your society
Here in Bulgaria Kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
OH and you get 2 years parental leave from work when you have a kid. And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.
I dont have children - but my life is improved every day by the way they treat kids here - they worked out [under communism] if you abuse kids you get a messed up society in 30 years...

Im an author - I wrote this recently for my next book:
LONELINESS
‘Loneliness is not the lack of company in one’s life. It is the lack of meaning in one’s life. People merely distract us from ourselves.’
[Redacted]
People distract us from the lack of meaning in our life. They entertain us, they annoy us, they make us laugh, most of all they distract us. They distract us from the emptiness inside of us.
The absence of people in life does not make us lonely. The awareness of our own emptiness is what makes us lonely.
If we fill that void with meaning, with purpose, with life, we will never be lonely. We can take the company of good people. We can walk away from toxic people, not needing their company, not exposing our happiness to their pollutants in order to not feel alone.
When we feel bad about ourselves, when we have low self-esteem, when we have a lack of meaning in our lives, when we don't know who we are; we are desperate to be distracted from ourselves and made feel happy. Even if that ‘happy’ is just not feeling bad about ourselves.
Often it’s better to be annoyed by someone else than depressed about ourselves.
This is why people getting out of abusive relationships are notorious for jumping straight back into obviously unsuitable relationships. A friend of mine in Utah, America, just told me a story of two friends. Both recently out of abusive relationships, both getting married again to people they have been dating for less than three months.
One of them openly admits the partner they are marrying is financially abusive and takes advantage of them.
But being taken advantage of financially, and all the misery that brings, is better to a lot of people than sitting alone and feeling empty and without purpose. It is better than feeling ‘lonely’.
And it’s a quick fix to find an unsuitable partner. A lot quicker than filling your life with purpose and meaning. With the added advantage you can blame the partner for all the problems and misery in your life.
So, as long as you don't actually care about your happiness, it’s a real ‘win - win’.
But assuming you do care about your long-term happiness, well it’s probably best to find some meaning in life.
People with rich, fulfilling lives, full of meaning and purpose are never lonely, neither do they shun company, but they are equanimous. They can take it or leave it. They can appreciate the benefits, the joy even, of being alone. They can appreciate the beauty of silence.

@deanrogers6028 - I think you got your answer there mate... Let me put some meat on the bones of those comments in case you happen to like the Tories.
The British Conservative party is a coalition of different privileged interests with the sole purpose of keeping that privilege for those people…
They get in power by offering just enough to just the right people and no more - they are constantly titrating how much they can remove from the people yet stay in power
Any action that may seem socialist is NOT, its self-preservation.
They have no principles beyond the preservation of their own privilege. So to not lose an election they will throw money at the people; only to increase taxes on them 2 months after the election.
Being called out on it would only matter to them if they HAD any principles or morals - they don’t - they know it's a bribe and they had no intention of ever keeping it. Scream about hypocrisy and broken promises all you want - they don’t care - they won the election.
It's all about maintaining power in order to maintain privilege, whilst giving away as little as possible. To them, if they lose power its not because their policies were unpopular, they know their real policies are deeply unpopular, it's because they got the calculation of bribes and lies V votes wrong.
--§--
In this instance [2021] to goal is to move assets [cos poor people are now utterly stripped dry of everything] from the lower level Tory voters to the higher level. I.e. smaller properties go to larger landlords, smaller farmland goes to the larger land owners, smaller companies go bust and their market share goes to the bigger companies.
It is a form of Feudal Capitalism, it eats the bottom and feeds money and more importantly, capital assets to the top. But when the peasants have nothing it eats the next level up, and then the next, and the next until eventually it is eating the middle and upper-middle class as is happening in 2021.
SO... Dean, if you are in that lower-level conservative voter bracket. You own your own home, you have a newish car and a decent pension. i.e. you're a rung above the Labour voter with next to nothing - well YOU are the next on the chopping block. A short burst of 10% interest rate to force a few hundred thousand of you to sell your houses at well below current market rate, that will do nicely...
The tories have already started bribing the red wall - they are CHEAP to bribe, they have nothing. If they throw a few billion at them they will vote Tory to make up for the ones in the south that lost their home. And if they lose power - so what???
All their mated pucker up rental properties for nothing and Labour will sort out the economy for the Tories to wreck it again in 10 years. Tories are planning the future for their grandkids and their mate's grandkids.
YOU - you are collateral damage...

IVE BEEN WATCHING various Twitch Streamers for some research I've been doing - I think Gen Z and Gen A must have a VERY different view of the world
On a random selection you get boys, girls, trans, cross-dressers, gay, lesbian, bi, brown, white, yellow, immigrant, native-born, ADHD, turrets, Autistic, gamers, cooking shows, collaborations, literally the ENTIRE spectrum of humanity represented. Its both terrifying to watch as its so intense, but its incredibly inspiring and creative. I think these generations will be very tolerant.

@Thepoweroftheriffcompelsme - I LOVE IT - been here 14 years. Im not known for my good decisions, but moving here was definitely the best one ive made in my life.
Its not perfect, no where is. But it has a great combination of society, community, affordable housing, good weather, outdoor lifestyle, and great free amenities, its forward-looking, its improving daily. Psychologically, it's just better to live in a place that on the up rather than on the decline...
Wages have gone up 500% since 1990.

Im 54, Ive traveled independently in 55 countries, 3 years of my life was enough for a 100k word book to be written about, but I don't want to talk about me. The most impressive people I have met on my travels the true "Alpha males" if there is such a thing, they were the quietest, most considerate, politest, most intelligent, educated people you could imagine.
We were being held at a boarder crossing in Senegal, we had been there about 28 hours, we had paid massive bribes but they still would not let us leave and it was looking dodgy. This one guy, about 5-7 tall told us all to have the cars running when he came back. He walked into the office of the head guy we had bribed, a guy with an AK47 on his desk and when he walked out he had all our bribe money and more. We left at speed and got out of the country.
I have no idea how he got the money back + interest, but Im guessing the guy didn't go home that night.
This guy was one of the mildest people you could ever meet.

WHAT KIDS GET WHERE I LIVE IN EUROPE EDIT - I WOULD NEVER EVEN CONSIDER RAISING KIDS IN THE USA - ITS STATE SPONSORED CHILD ABUSE
Kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
OH and you get 2 years parental leave from work when you have a kid. And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.
I dont have children - but my life is improved every day by the way they treat kids here

@markwelch3564 Im not an economist, I'm an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations. So I cant tell you what to do to build the economy but I can tell you that no amount of Labour is going to transform things for at least 8 years and more likely 15. The UK is in a situation called "interconnected cascading systems failure"
Everything is broken, everything you need to fix it is broken and everything you do makes the situation worse.
ON TOP of which you have Ai - and that is going to radically change the world and work and we have no idea how it will change it so we cant even make a PLAN.
The UK relies on banking, legal, insurance, media as major revenue generators and these are the very industries that will be most impacted by AI - will we have 20% unemployment or 35%...??? or 5% We literally DO NOT KNOW.
UBI will be a necessity but then you have to jack up corporation tax to 75% to pay for it, so companies will just flee the first countries that introduce it, but if you dont introduce UBI then there is literally NO MONEY in the system for people to buy stuff...!!!
The UK is in the worst of all possible positions at the worst of all possible times - this is the economic equivalent of having Boris Johnson in charge when a pandemic hits. Every other country in the west has a basically OK economy, they are not fundamentally BROKEN, so they can take it step by step and see what Ai brings and adapt. But the UK has to make VERY RADICAL CHANGES cos the economy is utterly broken, the entire country is utterly broken, so Labout have to literally GUESS and then invest hundreds of billions of borrowed £££ on an absolute blind guess.
If they get it right - the UK simply does not totally collapse into Argentinian levels of chaos. If they get it wrong the UK will make Agentena look like paradise.
We have to bet the farm and the mortgage on the farm on a total guess and HOPE...!!!

Im British, Ive lived 15 years in the mostly Soviet-built city of Burgas in Bulgaria, I have to say the Soviet city planning was very good, it allowed people to form "village" communities within the city, served by their own little high street of shops and facilities, local doctors and schools, plenty of green spaces and parks, we even have a small woodland 800m from my apartment.
And you have to remember - Soviet architecture was not as grey, derelict and run down as it is now, in my city they are refurbishing the apartment blocks and they are bright white and modern-looking post-renovation.
I obviously can't speak for ALL Soviet cities, but mine is incredibly well designed and a lovely place to live.

HAVING KIDS HERE IN BULGARIA FIRST - you get 2 years of parental leave from work when you have a kid.
Kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.
I dont have children - but my life is improved every day by the way they treat kids here - they worked out [under communism] if you abuse kids you get a messed up society in 30 years...

IM A BESPOKE TAILOR part-time and an author on psychology the rest of the time - so this is super interesting - BUT... A lot of this can also be put down to "GROWING UP"
If you are 20 and 4 years later you are dressing better - you have done a LOT of growing up anyway in those 4 years. You are no longer impressing schoolmates, you are impressing people in your industry, your girlfriend, you have more money, you are travelling, its a time of big changes. PRO TIP - buy second-hand clothes and have them altered to FIT, thats how you look good >>>
Second-hand clothes are better quality than cheap new ones, and invest the money in the FIT, rich people look fit cos their clothes FIT not cos they cost a lot.thrth
EDIT: DO NOT WEAR THINGS WITH LOGOS if you are wanting to look good, its one of the main fashion faux pas. Just don't do it. A high quality plain white T Shirt looks better than a white T Shirt with Nike on it, Logos say "I dont know what I am doing so I am trying to impress you by how much money I spent"

HAVING KIDS IN MY EUROPEAN COUNTRY feel free to compare and contrast it with America
You get 2 years parental leave from work when you have a kid. Kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
. And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.

@FoxrosePettipaw - That's exactly why all his supporters support him, cos really they are supporting themselves. They are bad people, he is a bad person. It's symbiotic. He gives them permission and legitimacy to feel GOOD about themselves for the first time in their lives, in return they give him power and adulation.
This is why his bad behaviour makes NO difference, it only re-enforces their love for him.
They are liars, they are cheats, they hate immigrants, etc etc. He is JUST A MIRROR to their personality.
This is what happens when you tell children they are unique and special and important and individuals who can be anything they want - instead of telling them they are part of a society, that their worth is their contribution to that society, and their responsibility is to be a good citizen and above all to help look after the next generation of children - to make them feel loved and secure in that society.
In many societies engineers have to learn philosophy as part of their training, cos their job is to build things to improve humanity. In the west they are taught how to maximise profits.
It is a fundamental difference in the way civilisation is structured. the pursuit of a better society - or - the pursuit of profit.

@ericpmoss - Following on from my last comment - having thought about it. I think Americans find it so hard to separate themselves from the nation because America is not a country, it's an idea. Unless everyone keeps believing in the idea, the idea ceases to be a thing and America ceases to exist.
Its like paper currency - it has value cos everyone believes it has value. Gold has intrinsic value, you don't have to keep believing in it for it to have value.
America is like paper money, its relatively new and you have to believe in it. The rest of the world is like Gold, its been around forever and it does not require YOU to believe in it.
Americans are participants in the idea of America, Germans are people who live on a bit of land called Germany. Same as the Brits, same as the Japanese. IMO - this is why Americans find it so hard to accept or partake in criticism of the country. If you are criticising America you are criticising the idea, if you are criticising the idea, what's the point in believing in the idea if its a bad idea, and the idea is the only thing America is built upon.
I think Gen Z see it differently as they see themselves as people on earth, they have friends all over the planet and they have way less attachment to their nation-state. Ill have to research this more thoroughly.

As a European I am very pleased America is getting smashed in the face with climate disasters, we have made so many changes and sacrifices and Americans do NOTHING
My city essentially does not allow cars any longer, 90% of us get the bus. I just paid €10,200 towards the insulation for the apartment building, almost no one uses AC. We have 10's of thousands of trees in the city so that costs us a fortune on property tax to maintain them. The entire city road system was ripped out in 2012 and swapped over to pedestrian, bike & scooter roads, bus roads and the car lanes reduced from 4 to 1.
All of this has to be paid for and WE pay it, WE get the bus, WE walk and Americans put in another gold course in a desert and buy a new 7L Truck.
My apartment used 1,200Kwh of electricity a YEAR and that will drop further when the building is insulated. QUOTE "The average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. home was 10,632 kilowatt-hours (kWh)."
We use 1/9 th the electricity of an American home and we use ZERO gas/petrol

HIS NASTY FORM OF POLITICS RESONATES WITH THEM and why do you think that is...??? You don't think that the establishment has been horrifically NASTY to the working people of America???
You sent their jobs to China, you killed their friends and family with Oxycontin, you cut of the tops of their mountains, you left them to rot with no health insurance, bad food, low-speed internet, collapsing bridges, guys that worked in technical factory jobs waiting tables or unemployed - YOU COMMITTED THIS VIOLENCE AGAINST THE WORKING PEOPLE OF AMERICA >>>
THEY VOTE FOR TRUMP because he gives it back to you and you hate it and they live it cos they want to see you suffer for what YOU and YOUR CLASS did to them...!!!
Trump was not elected to be president - HE WAS ELECTED AS A GIANT MIDDLE FINGER TO YOU LOT....!
So the more obscene he is, the more criminal he is, the more YOU hate him - the more they will vote for him to HURT YOU. This is payback for 40 years of being sh!t on.
And your arrogance, your inability to see that YOU are the problem is in itself THE PROBLEM.

Take it from an ACTUAL Marxist in Europe - Marxists have definitely not infiltrated the US Democratic party - otherwise, you would have the nice things we have like affordable housing [my rent is $150 on a beach front apartment], free healthcare, quality food [your food is literally illegal here cos its essentially poinson], free university, rising wages, almost no gun deaths, 2 years parental leave if yo have a kid, free school meals, hot food delivered to your door every morning if you have a child under school age, free child care [provided by the community], High speed rail, amazing public transport, busy local high streets, NO Uber or other zero hour contracts, etc etc
All brought to you by lovely socialism :-D

Dude you live in a violent collapsing sh!t hole, stop excusing it. HAVING KIDS IN MY EUROPEAN COUNTRY feel free to compare and contrast it with America
You get 2 years parental leave from work when you have a kid. Kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
. And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.
Im not having a go at you - im saying STOP excusing the fact that America does not do MUCH better for its people.

@Elizaveta "Sorry for the rant. It's complicated." No problem - This is kinda what I try to get across to people. You cant say the USSR was good or bad - its complicated. its a massive place and people had very very different experiences.
"You meant fly, not drive?" NO - I mean dive LOL. In 2005 I had driven from England across the Sahara to The Gambia in western Africa and in 2006 I was to drive From Kent in England to Tashkent but the friend I was going with had problems and could not make it...
"Btw, may I know about works as an author and what's your profession?" My professional career was in business, I owned the largest company distributing Bulgarian and Polish cosmetics in America and the UK. In 2015 I suffered brain damage in a mugging and lost everything, I was homeless for a while, lived in a motel for a while, then I wrote a book about it all, which sold reasonably well, wrote another two books, and I have just finished one called "ADRIFT IN THE SHARK TANK - How to survive in a post-pandemic world" which went to the editor today - it would be on sale next month...
Before the pandemic, I was collecting stories from people who lived under communism. I think there should be a record of people's experiences - just for history. I don't think it will sell very well at all - but I think there should be a historical record before everyone dies off and their stories are lost. There are lessons to learn both good and bad from these times.
"My parents condemn Lenin for assassinating Tsar and his family. " You see I have never met anyone who said that. these are important perspectives, I believe they should be recorded. Ive just finished 97 hours of lectures on the Russian revolution - the Tsar was not a horrible person, he was not evil, he was just the wrong person at the wrong time. Too weak to lead his country but too strong to let others with more skill run it for him.

@jenalatz3589 - Oh it think you are hurt by them and I think you DO validate yourself by what rando's say on social media or you would not still be bothering me.
Ben Carson is a man who thought supporting Trump, a psychopathic malignant narcissist, was a good idea. That immediately annuls anything that man has to say on any subject.
And no one is advocating for irresponsible behaviour or diminishing the value of the "nuclear family". I'm saying that telling people in poverty to "make better decisions" is idiotic and pointless; their lives dont allow them to make better decisions, their education from their crappy schools and their broken poverty-stricken families did not give them the tools TO make better decisions.
You dont realise how much knowledge and experience you were fortunate to pick up from your family and education that YOU believe is simply a feature of being an adult. To me, a well educated European educated in the "extrapolate first principles" method talking to Americans is like talking to children, and that is not being nasty. Americans are NOT taught critical thinking skills, to me critical thinking is just a function of being grown-up - but it's NOT. You have to learn these things.
The same with saving, investing, banking, budgeting, cooking, nutrition, etc etc etc.
Things you 100% take for granted as just being part of being an adult, other people lack cos they did not have your parents or go to your school.
I grew up in extreme poverty, we ate pigs feet and went to school in black trash bags cos we could not afford coats. I have had a very fortunate life, I have been unbelievably lucky. I could not read or write at 13 and I am a professional author - that's, not me being amazing, that's 1 teacher who taught me to read and write in her own time after school. But I was 48 years old before I saved any money, and I was earning mid-level 6 figures and spending every penny of it...
Why? Cos I was stupid? No - cos I grew up in a family where no one saved money, there was no money to save, we ate nettles. The literal concept was totally alien to me.
And that is what YOU are failing to understand, these people in poverty - they are NOT YOU.
They have a life experience that literally prevents the vast majority of them from even seeing a way out, even contemplating a way out. they cant make better decisions without society INVESTING in them in education and opportunity. And in America, the system is specifically engineered to PREVENT that happening cos you NEED the unwashed sub culture of destitution to keep low level workers terrified of losing their jobs to keep them accepting sh!t wages.

@bjarneesphagen2303 - You have to understand how narcissistic abuse works. It is a psychological abuse. It de natures the person. It removes their identity and their - everything. They become an empty shells. They will even forget what they like, what music they like, even what food they like, what clothes they like. they buy what the narcissist likes them to buy.
They are prisoners in a psychological prison. As such they become afraid of strangers, of the outside, of new shops. They are ashamed of their body and how they look - the narcissist constantly tells them how ugly they are how fat they are, they lose all self-confidence, they even lose the concept there is something TO be confident about. this is also why they stop washing - although poor personal hygiene is associated with most mental illnesses.
Shoes have several advantages as a gateway back to reality and a normal life.
1) Most women like shoes
2) Shoes are very personal, they have shoes they like and shoes they dont - its a trigger back to their own style
3) Trying on shoes does NOT require undressing - they hate their bodies and they dont want others looking at their body too closely
4) It limits the time in a shop - if you get a panic attack in a shop half way through trying on a new dress - you cant just run out of the shop cos you have the dress on
5) Your shoe size does not change - if you are now a size 14 when you used to be an 8 that is a MASSIVE depressive factor. If you are a 4 in shoes you are a 4, so there is no rish associated with is.
Shoes are pretty much the first few new purchases a woman makes after escaping a narcissist. I should just mention men do become victims of female narcissists as well, but very few feel the need to actually vanish, they are at much less risk of physical violence and much greater risk of false accusations being made to the police so vanishing is usually a bad idea for a make victim.
I hope this is helpful.
EDIT: You mentioned money - the majority of victims of narcissistic abuse are NOT penniless, at least not when the abuse starts - though they make be bankrupt by the abuser. Part of the reason for them being targeted is often they have considerable financial resources. But over the course of 5, 10, 20 years they no longer dear spend any money on themselves - only on the abuser.
I work for free because many victims are literally penniless by the end. But this is by no means, everyone.

NO CENK - THEY CANT - THEY ARE NOT DECENT PEOPLE sorry, but you are overlaying YOUR humanity onto a group of people that do not have the capacity to feel it.
The Child In The Well Experiment proves this...
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.

@roland1912 As a European I am very pleased America is getting smashed in the face with climate disasters, we have made so many changes and sacrifices and Americans do NOTHING except order another V8 truck.
My city essentially does not allow cars any longer, 90% of us get the bus. I just paid €10,200 towards the insulation for the apartment building, almost no one uses AC. We have 10's of thousands of trees in the city so that costs us a fortune on property tax to maintain them. The entire city road system was ripped out in 2012 and swapped over to pedestrian, bike & scooter roads, bus roads and the car lanes reduced from 4 to 1.
All of this has to be paid for and WE pay it, WE get the bus, WE walk and Americans put in another gold course in a desert and buy a new 7L Truck.
My apartment used 1,200Kwh of electricity a YEAR and that will drop further when the building is insulated. QUOTE "The average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. home was 10,632 kilowatt-hours (kWh)."
We use 1/9 th the electricity of an American home and we use ZERO gas/petrol

MY COUNTRY HAS THE LOWEST MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN THE EU and the EU has WAY lower issues than the USA - you know why?? Cos we REALLY LOOK AFTER OUR CHILDREN
Kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
OH and you get 2 years parental leave from work when you have a kid. And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.

@fafa8 I guess you are Am3ric4n???
"From 2006, the group's military strength grew significantly,[72][73] to the extent that its paramilitary wing became more powerful than the Lebanese Army.[74][75] Hezbollah has been described as a "state within a state",[76] and has grown into an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and a satellite TV station, social services"
They have doctors, secretaries, fire fighters, postmen, delivery drivers, and every aspect of society. At least you are watching alternative news sources to just the US propaganda.
Many normal people in Lebanon had these.

@vctjkhme QUOTE "i've found most extremely intelligent people can do this, most profound texts are just wasted space to explain things to less intelligent audiences."
Thank you for the compliment LOL. The chapters in my books are one or two pages - here is an example.
LONELINESS
‘Loneliness is not the lack of company in one’s life. It is the lack of meaning in one’s life. People merely distract us from ourselves.’
By [redacted]
People distract us from the lack of meaning in our life. They entertain us, they annoy us, they make us laugh, most of all they distract us. They distract us from the emptiness inside of us.
The absence of people in life does not make us lonely. The awareness of our own emptiness is what makes us lonely.
If we fill that void with meaning, with purpose, with life, we will never be lonely. We can take the company of good people. We can walk away from toxic people, not needing their company, not exposing our happiness to their pollutants in order to not feel alone.
When we feel bad about ourselves, when we have low self-esteem, when we have a lack of meaning in our lives, when we don't know who we are; we are desperate to be distracted from ourselves and made feel happy. Even if that ‘happy’ is just not feeling bad about ourselves.
Often it’s better to be annoyed by someone else than depressed about ourselves.
This is why people getting out of abusive relationships are notorious for jumping straight back into obviously unsuitable relationships. A friend of mine in Utah, America, just told me a story of two friends. Both recently out of abusive relationships, both getting married again to people they have been dating for less than three months.
One of them openly admits the partner they are marrying is financially abusive and takes advantage of them.
But being taken advantage of financially, and all the misery that brings, is better to a lot of people than sitting alone and feeling empty and without purpose. It is better than feeling ‘lonely’.
And it’s a quick fix to find an unsuitable partner. A lot quicker than filling your life with purpose and meaning. With the added advantage you can blame the partner for all the problems and misery in your life.
So, as long as you don't actually care about your happiness, it’s a real ‘win - win’.
But assuming you do care about your long-term happiness, well it’s probably best to find some meaning in life.
People with rich, fulfilling lives, full of meaning and purpose are never lonely, neither do they shun company, but they are equanimous. They can take it or leave it. They can appreciate the benefits, the joy even, of being alone. They can appreciate the beauty of silence.

@ZombieDoggs - OK a few things:
1) "That proved a huge failure with huge human cost in the 20th Century." NO IT DID NOT. In the USSR the life expectancy went up from 32 in 1945 to 75 in 1975. Capitalism has killed VASTLY more people than communism ever has. Communism did not fail - it was stamped out by the USA in order to prevent it from taking hold there.
2) You talk like this is going to be a choice people have.
3) Im not advocating for communism. Im simply stating fact. The planet is at 130% of extraction and recovery capacity - this is unsustainable and planet-killing. The lack of a profit motive means companies can make quality products that last a lifetime, and this is an absolute necessity for the survival of humanity. I now live in an ex-communist country. The idea that all they made was worthless crap was propaganda. The things they made all had the year of manufacture on them. I have endless things made in the 1960's or 70 that are just fine. I mean ordinary things like a plastic mop bucket or a cheese grater.
4) Capitalism is a giant buy now pay later scheme. Your grandchildren will pay for your retirement. Capitalists want 3% return on their investment. The planet's population will top out between 8.5 and 10 billion in the near future and then decline - capitalism REQUIRES GROWTH. In a declining population, you can NOT have capitalism.
5) Capitalism is a giant funnel funnelling money and power to an ever-tinier number of hyper-rich people, that money comes from somewhere, the poor. But they are empty so its now eating the middle class, the number of people hurting under capitalism is reaching a critical mass and the hyper-rich are doing exactly what the feudal lords did, everything possible to cling onto power, hastening their demise.
6) The one thing you are absolutely correct about is China - I will be going there next year to write a book on China as the global sovereign. There is only one country that can solve the climate emergency and that is China.
7) "I can't see your average person willingly sacrificing their sovereignty to submit to the will of party officials" sovereignty is the luxury of the well fed, no one cares about sovereignty in a food shortage.
8) It is the nature of life to find a way and the only way to live for another 1000 years is a steady-state economic and extraction model that recirculates wealth and does not funnel it to a minority. And that will by definition be some form of communal type model.
Personally, I believe there are two likely outcomes. We kill the planet and the global population drops to 0.5 billion. We give sovereignty to China to save us all in the knowledge only they have the power to do so AFTER things get so bad western countries re collapsing into anarchy.
Here in Bulgaria its +19ºC today - it should be -19ºC here in December.
Sorry for the long post, got carried away on my pet subject.

No, they don't, it's an illusion that they make your life easier, where I live in my country we don't have Amazon, but we have a very busy bustling High Street everywhere. Everything I want is available within 400 yards of my apartment. Including social interaction, with other human beings, the care about my existence. Which is why my country has the lowest level of mental health problems in Europe, and Europe has vastly lower than America.
Amazon has spent billions convincing you that they make your life easier, they don't. They make your life, immeasurably worse, but you can't see it because you don't live the alternative life. Your alternative to Amazon is driving 45 minutes to a store that doesn't have the thing you want. That's not the alternative to Amazon.

LET ME TELL YOU HOW BAD IT IS and why Labout can do nothing to improve it for 10 years - 38% of UK schools are PAST their usable life and need replacing - OK...
The average school costs £24 million - 12,200 schools = £293 BILLION + £26 billion per year for the one becoming unusable = £553 BILLION in new schools needed in the next 10 years...!!!
And literally, everything is the same, the police stations, the courts, the MOD buildings, universities - £1.5 TRILLION needed in infrastructure alone - THEN you have.... ---->>>
The wealth inequality, the lack of productivity, the aging population, the lack of industrial investment, Brexit, and then the big one - AI making 30% of the population redundant...

In 2014 I was worth €6 million. After the novelty wore off, I was not happy, but being a good capitalist I thought "well, it must be because Im not rich ENOUGH, a few more million will make me happy"
Scroll forwards to now - I lost everything due to brain damage suffered in a mugging BUT... I can already see that my thinking, even at that low level of wealth, had started to completely change. 1) The inability to see that no amount of money would ever make me happy, if €6 million cant fix it, €100 million won't, you are unhappy cos you are messed up 2) my lack of attention to the rules and norms of society, like parking restriction, they didn't apply to me cos I could afford the fine.
Billionaires might not start off psychopaths, but 100% of billionaires ARE psychopaths.

@Total Water - You are still not getting it are you? ITS NOT EVERYONE ELCE - its you. You do NOT represent "everyone else". You represent YOUR American idea of culture and correctness. The Chinese will have a different view, the Japanese another, the African countries their own, the Uk their view.
Why do you think YOUR LAWS apply to China? there is no such thing a "international laws" there are treaties, America does not conform to international treaties on torture, on human rights, on climate but when YOU do it, its "Freedom".
China is NOT violating any laws or treaties cos they HAVE NOT signed them, in the same way YOU have not signed the treaties banning torture or climate change.
Saying "Military strikes" is just your media and political way of sanitising your action, its bombing brown people for profit. Thats NOT conflating - that's the simple reality of what your country is doing.
Why is the world obliged to tolerate the abhorrent action od the USA on war and climate if, as you say "nobody else is obligated to tolerate it" when it comes to a program in the Netherlands???
You are that indoctrinated, as a nation, that you can not even conceive that the USA is 5% of the worlds population and you are not the arbiters of correctness or acceptability.
And you are one of the worst abusers of international treaties there is.

@1979Frankyboy - It would be easy to explain it away that I have more time and less distraction. But that's NOT IT. Its more like a piece of smoked glass between me and the deeper truths has been removed, I'm not thinking more or for longer - I can just clearly see the obvious, that was neither visible nor obvious previously.
EDIT - its quite strange and even slightly shocking. this is an example.
LONELINESS
‘Loneliness is not the lack of company in one’s life. It is the lack of meaning in one’s life. People merely distract us from ourselves.’
[redacted]
People distract us from the lack of meaning in our life. They entertain us, they annoy us, they make us laugh, most of all they distract us. They distract us from the emptiness inside of us.
The absence of people in life does not make us lonely. The awareness of our own emptiness is what makes us lonely.
If we fill that void with meaning, with purpose, with life, we will never be lonely. We can take the company of good people. We can walk away from toxic people, not needing their company, not exposing our happiness to their pollutants in order to not feel alone.
When we feel bad about ourselves, when we have low self-esteem, when we have a lack of meaning in our lives, when we don't know who we are; we are desperate to be distracted from ourselves and made feel happy. Even if that ‘happy’ is just not feeling bad about ourselves.
Often it’s better to be annoyed by someone else than depressed about ourselves.
This is why people getting out of abusive relationships are notorious for jumping straight back into obviously unsuitable relationships. A friend of mine in Utah, America, just told me a story of two friends. Both recently out of abusive relationships, both getting married again to people they have been dating for less than three months.
One of them openly admits the partner they are marrying is financially abusive and takes advantage of them.
But being taken advantage of financially, and all the misery that brings, is better to a lot of people than sitting alone and feeling empty and without purpose. It is better than feeling ‘lonely’.
And it’s a quick fix to find an unsuitable partner. A lot quicker than filling your life with purpose and meaning. With the added advantage you can blame the partner for all the problems and misery in your life.
So, as long as you don't actually care about your happiness, it’s a real ‘win - win’.
But assuming you do care about your long-term happiness, well it’s probably best to find some meaning in life.
People with rich, fulfilling lives, full of meaning and purpose are never lonely, neither do they shun company, but they are equanimous. They can take it or leave it. They can appreciate the benefits, the joy even, of being alone. They can appreciate the beauty of silence.

LONELINESS by me...
‘Loneliness is not the lack of company in one’s life. It is the lack of meaning in one’s life. People merely distract us from ourselves.’
[redacted]
People distract us from the lack of meaning in our life. They entertain us, they annoy us, they make us laugh, most of all they distract us. They distract us from the emptiness inside of us.
The absence of people in life does not make us lonely. The awareness of our own emptiness is what makes us lonely.
If we fill that void with meaning, with purpose, with life, we will never be lonely. We can take the company of good people. We can walk away from toxic people, not needing their company, not exposing our happiness to their pollutants in order to not feel alone.
When we feel bad about ourselves, when we have low self-esteem, when we have a lack of meaning in our lives, when we don't know who we are; we are desperate to be distracted from ourselves and made feel happy. Even if that ‘happy’ is just not feeling bad about ourselves.
Often it’s better to be annoyed by someone else than depressed about ourselves.
This is why people getting out of abusive relationships are notorious for jumping straight back into obviously unsuitable relationships. A friend of mine in Utah, America, just told me a story of two friends. Both recently out of abusive relationships, both getting married again to people they have been dating for less than three months.
One of them openly admits the partner they are marrying is financially abusive and takes advantage of them.
But being taken advantage of financially, and all the misery that brings, is better to a lot of people than sitting alone and feeling empty and without purpose. It is better than feeling ‘lonely’.
And it’s a quick fix to find an unsuitable partner. A lot quicker than filling your life with purpose and meaning. With the added advantage you can blame the partner for all the problems and misery in your life.
So, as long as you don't actually care about your happiness, it’s a real ‘win - win’.
But assuming you do care about your long-term happiness, well it’s probably best to find some meaning in life.
People with rich, fulfilling lives, full of meaning and purpose are never lonely, neither do they shun company, but they are equanimous. They can take it or leave it. They can appreciate the benefits, the joy even, of being alone. They can appreciate the beauty of silence.

QUOTE: "At a time when we need strong leadership, we have weak marsupials at the helm." the thing is, it actually works the other way around. The country is in chaos and need a great leader BECAUSE we have had a succession of very bad very weak leaders.
They used to think that epidemics/pandemics often caused the collapse of civilisations - but actually, the cause and effect seems to be the other way around. Weak collapsing civilisations are VULNERABLE to epidemics, malnourished people, lack of discipline, badly maintained sanitation, lack of societal cohesion, etc etc.
Countries that did badly in the Covid pandemic - Am3ric4, Britain, Italy. Countries that did well China, New Zealand, Norway etc.

@MT Nothing in life as awful as a tory, thats not opinion - thats fact. The Child In The Well Experiment
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.

IM AN AUTHOR on psychology and the collapse of civilisation - you are wrong. Most Americans do care about billionaires and what you are actually saying is "most Americans are too dumb to even understand that billionaires are making you poor"
"You can tax billionaires 90% and corporations twice what you do now and you still won't have enough for the things progressives want" Where I live income tax is a flat rate 10% and this is what we do for kids alone:
Kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
OH and you get 2 years parental leave from work when you have a kid. And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.
And obviously we have universal healthcare cos we are not savages.

@thetrainmon - NO they don't love America, they HATE America. What they love is 1950's America! They utterly despise what America has become and will continue to evolve into - and that is what they are fighting for. This is why they forgive Trump everything - cos he is their only hope. If you were storming the beaches or Normandy with the shittest rifle ever made, you STILL clutched that rifle to your chest cos your life depended on it - and that is the way they see it.
Its Trump or the death of their position as superior to brown people - and that is ALL THEY HAVE...
In many ways the Dems are just as guilty as the GOP - they sold out the working people of America for corporate money and globalism, they helped rob these people of their livelihoods, their futures, their dignity, their high street shops, their community...
And when you rob people of their dignity etc, they resort to basic instinct and need to feel like SOMEBODY. And for many people that is their white supremacy, their white privilege - its the last thing they had.
Yes they are dumb AF. And that is the fault of the GOP, they defunded education in 1983 to breed the idiots they needed to vote for them.
But what else do these sad, uneducated people have?
The irony is they are so endlessly desperate to "own the libs" to show they are not as stupid as we say they are - but the tragedy is, they are. As Trump has just proven.

@RazorMouth Well Im 53. My last salaried job in the UK was 2002 and I was on £65k my wife was on £45k and we have no kids and a £60k mortgage.
According to the BoE inflation calculator thats £196,543.04 joint income today. Now its important to say I grew up in a family so poor I went to school in a black trash bag too poor to afford a coat and a slice of bread and margarine was very often dinner. so I know poverty, its not like I have no concept of money.
YES we had a good life, things were easy. But I can NOT conceive of how a family can be anything other than struggling day to day if they have a £200k mortgage, 2 cars needed for work, 2 kids, child care costs, etc etc.
Im not saying you can not live on £51k for a couple with kids, but it MUST be a constant struggle
I totally agree "nothing is wasted and finances are managed well." is not a thing people are good at today, not being the horrible Tory about this, Im literally a communist. But people are not good at cooking on a budget etc, I can make a bag or lentils and an onion do 8 nutritious meals, but I just cant see how it would not be a day to day struggle for a family on £51k and a living hell for a family on £30k

@gammaraider - If that were the case people would stop watching football when they grew up as well...
No - I think its like almost everything automotive, it has got technologically so perfect it has lost ALL character. A neighbour of mine bought an old Citroen BX, not even one of the good classic Cirtoesn like the SM. A 1980's BX and it is SO full of character, at the time it was a plastic POS. But compared to modern cars even this gushes character.
There is a perfect aerodynamic shape for a car, there is a perfect safety shape, there is a most perfect engine and when you approach these everything gets the same...
F! teams are SO GOOD that they can produce cars of near perfection and therefore identical performance.
Me, I think the F1 guys should REALLY mix it up every year, 3 cylinder sump lubricated turbo 2 strokes this year, 4L V4 Deisel next year, 1L inline 8 cylinders the next.
Unpredictability is what makes things exciting. F1 is too perfect to be unpredictable, and we cant have tyres exploding for entertainment.

Why people move to the U.S.A.
YEAH - I'm an author of the collapse of civilisation and psychology. Let me tell you the reason so many people want to move to the USA - DELUSION. Delusion as to what it is really like, caused by your movie and entertainment industry. People want to get to the HOLLYWOOD version of America, they have no idea it is largely a 3rd world country for 40% of its people. WHY do people not want to move to China, the same reason. Western propaganda about life in China. I know several westerners living in China and they absolutely love it. They especially love the education system and how they look after children. their main complaint - the flashing traffic cameras - their traffic cams have a flash on them and it is incredibly annoying. AND THAT is their biggest complaint. The other reason people want to move to the USA is English language, most people around the world are speaking some English - it makes it simple. Its also the reason people from Africa travel through France to get to the UK - they speak English - it makes life a lot easier. I now live in Bulgaria, an ex-communist country that was part of the USSR. So you are now picturing grey with snow and bread lines. In fact its 300 days of sunshine each year, palm trees, blue sea, endless golden beaches, skiing in the mountains, 115F in summer, amazing food and a huge percentage of the population want to go BACK to communism here cos communism here was very good to people. 85% of people own their own house with NO mortgage, and 65% own a 2nd home in the countryside with NO mortgage. Your idea of the USSR and communism is ENTIRELY based on propaganda [as was mine]. People move to the USA because of propaganda, they don't move to China because of propaganda. Also - the USA is one of the least free countries in the world - it has 97,000 federal laws and an average of another 80,000 state laws. OK - sorry for the long post - hope it cleared some things up for you.

IM AN AUTHOR ON PSYCHOLOGY I agree with this more than I can put into words...
As to specific studies. Not on "wealth flaunting" specifically that I know off. But there are lots of related studies and generally, anything consumer promoting, toxic positivity, individualism, materialism, hyper ambition, consumerism is incredibly damaging to mental health. If you want to damage a child's mental health, bring it up in an American culture. Its almost as if America has experimented on what you can do to damage a child, and then adopted it as the way to live.
A significant proportion of the world regards putting your toddler in child care whilst you go out to work as child abuse... And a lot of child psychologists would now agree with that.
Children don't want mummy to drive a $150k SUV and see her 30 minutes a night, they want money to be money for them 12 hours a day. They don't want to feel safe cos they are in a $150k SUV, they want to feel safe cos they are in money arms. They dont want to be told they are special and unique and can be anything they want, they want to feel safe and loved.
So what China is actually doing, is looking at America and saying "what can WE do to NOT end up like that, cos THAT is a living nightmare..."
Not becoming America is now a top priority of a LOT of countries, including Bulgaria where I now live. I live here cos its very specifically NOT like the USA/UK.

THE FUTURE IS COMPLICATED AND THE PAST IS AN EASY SELL
The massive advantage the “right wing” “conservative” “keep the status quo” side of the debate has in a declining society is that the past WAS better than the present and the past is really easily defined. We have pictures and videos and memories of the past. So saying “We can go back to the times you personally remember as good times” is a really really easy sell.
But time moved forward.
You quite literally can not go back to those days, even if you try and recreate it, your starting point is completely different. It’s today.
If you assume that 1950 was the high point of America and you try to turn the clock back to 1950. Well 1950 DIDN'T start with the problems of 2022. You cant recreate 1950 without the recent winning of a world war. You cant live in the glory times of the 1950 an “un know” the climate crisis.
If you totally engineered society with the jobs and the laws and the TV of 1950, it would not be anything like 1950 because the year that gave America 1950 was 1949 and not 2022.
And that's why “conservatism” is such an amazingly easy sell. Its incredibly attractive in a declining society to want to go back. But you literally can not.
So you can only move forward. And the future is unknown, ill defined, full of doubt and scary. And that is why “left” politics is incredibly hard to sell and everyone is always fighting and never unified - because the future is at the present still a debate.
“We want to go back to how it was in 1950” is super well defined and there is no debate. “We want to go forward to one of many possible futures that we cant agree on” is a much harder sell.
When things are collapsing, when you have a faction in society determined to turn the clock back to a past glory days, when you have politicians exploiting peoples fears, a media pumping out bad news to keep you distracted from the thoughts that the status quo might actually be a completely rotten tree and all you have to look forward to is an undefined future of no doubt endless horrors; its normal to have a mental health problem.
A mental health problem of some form of other, anxiety, stress, depression, is the normal human reaction to the situation in the world today, especially given that a wall of misinformation and propaganda hitting you ever day.

I HAVE BEEN TAILORING men's historical clothing for 2 years now - these are MY top tips.
1) Buy a vintage SINGER STRAIGHT LINE SEWING MACHINE pref 201k if you can but any solid metal - NO ZIG ZAG - NO FEATURES. Get it professionally serviced. The difference between this machine and even a 1980's metal Singer zig zag machine is night and day - it will transform your LIFE.
2) Buy a cheap "disposable" plastic modern machine for button holes [though you can get a button hole attachment for the singer], overlocking, zig zag, decorative stitches etc
3) Buy multiple colours of quality chalk
4) Buy an INCH and a CM tape measure - when drafting you put the NUMBER on your mark - you stretch the tape out and you mark AT THE METAL END i.e 14" to 0" mark at zero
5) Buy either an old heavy vintage steam iron that weighs 1.5kg the Bakelite and metal ones OR just bite the bullet and buy a professional tailors iron
6) Buy / make pressing weights - when you PRESS a seam you then need a heavy metal plate to hold it in place whilst the fabric cools and dries - this is incredibly important
7) Old electric cooker cast iron hot plates make AMAZING pattern weights, look out at the council recycling place for an old hob
8) The "closing seam" is the last seam on a garment to be sewn up - many vintage drafting instructions will mention this but Google has no idea
9) A "scky" is an arm hole
10) Tailoring is a series of separate jobs. Making a jacket is a massive task, but actually, it is about 50 small separate tasks, you don't need to be good at making a jacket. You just need to practice the tasks. So cut out the patter, do the bits you can do. When you get to doing a "welted pocket" - just watch a Youtube video on making a welted pocket and practice 4 or 5 times on scraps of fabric, then do your welted pockets. Move on. DONT BE scared of large projects.
11) there is ALWAYS a great YouTube video telling you exactly how to do each step - even if you THINK you know, watch a video...

@thecursed01 - there is literally so much wrong with your comment I don't even know where to start. In 1917 Russia was a FEUDAL AGRARIAN SOCIETY WITH SERFS* and you are complaining that they had not transformed a medieval country into a modern economy in less than 10 years...,???? Sounds a legit criticism.
In not even going to bother rebutting the rest of the stuff cos its academic, communism is not an ALTERNATIVE to capitalism, it was never supposed to be even Marx said this...
I wrote this as a draft for an article the other day...
COMMUNISM IN 50 YEARS
Well like it or hate it you WILL live in some form of communist state in the next 50 years. Capitalism is FUNDAMENTALLY flawed, I dont mean it has its problems. I mean the very basic concept is self cannibalising. Problem No1. Capitalism is a funnel. It funnels wealth from the bottom to the top - it also funnels power from the bottom to the top cos money = power. For capitalism to be stable you have to TAX the top heavily and move the money back down to the bottom JUST to keep the system functioning.
Rich powerful people DO NOT like being taxed. And as capitalism INEVITABLY produces rich powerful people who control media and politicians they get their way. This hoovers all the money out of the working class, then you give them credit - they sell their future work, and then they are EMPTY. But for capitalism to continue it NEEDS MONEY - so the middle class are the next to go - and you can see this in the USA and the UK - it is eating the middle class. It also starts to eat the state, private prisons, private education etc etc...
Ultimately there is NO MONEY left in the system - that has already happened the FED in America si literally printing money to keep the system working.
So capitalism HAS TO COLLAPSE. It is 100% inevitable from the very start of the system. And people predicted this 150 and 200 years ago.
Problem 2. Capitalism HAS to GROW to exist. it is NOT a static model. It has to grow by about 3% each year to continue. That is a DOUBLING of the world economy every 27 years. The earth is at 130% of capacity now. WE CAN NOT extract 260% per year of the earth capacity in another 27 years - its not possible to live on that planet.
SO. A static zero growth economic model is required, a model that removes the profit motive is required [to long to explain why] is required and due to AI a UBI is required - the only economic model we have that allows the earth to survive and people to eat is a communism based model.
It wont be Stalin's Russia, it will be some hybrid modernised version. But YOU WILL LIVE under a communist economic model if you live another 50 years.
---§---
You see - as Marx said, capitalism collapses, it is replaced by socialism that is in turn replaced by advanced communism

@arellatikvah I listened to an incredibly podcast on "Novara Media" Episode "ACFM Tripo 35: The Internet" I would absolutely recommend it.
One of the guests said "we are to blame, the public, its our fault. We were so used to the hatred of minorities and the neoliberal hyper-capitalism of Thatcher and Reagan that when Blair and Clinton and Obama came about and they said 'its cool to be gay and its cool to be brown' WE all thought they were 100% on our side. They weren't, they were still neoliberal capitalists, they just donned a cool attitude and gave us a few crumbs of economics, but meanwhile, they were still privatising everything, still transferring wealth to the top 1%"
"Obama was one of the most intelligent and articulate of presidents the USA has ever had." YES - and he used it to con the nation into thinking he was 100% there for you.
Which is why in my book - he is the 2nd worst.
Trumpp can NOT be better, he is totally incapable, but Obama could have transformed the USA and it would be genuinely world leading today - instead, he transferred wealth to the 1% and he handed the country to Trump.

@TBrl8 no. These are just publicly available statistics that anybody can look up. The general population being in favour of something by 70% or 80% has zero effect on that legislation getting past or not. The top 10% being in favour of something has a 75% chance of it being passed.
If you want to change something in America, you have to get the house to vote for it and Senate to vote for it the President to sign it then when it goes into law, you have the legal challenges and it goes through all the multiple different realms of law, and then it goes up to the Supreme Court, you have to win every single one of those battles in order to get legislation passed. In order to stop it, you have to win one of those battles..
A perfect example is student loan forgiveness.
Your entire political and legal system is geared up to prevent anything happening that the rich people of the country do not want, and they are 100% successful in stopping legislation they don't like.
Trump wants to smash this system in order to be all-powerful and to stay in power, Trump's only way into power is through the poorest 50% of the country voting for him, the people with the least power. There is no way on gods earth, the top 10% of people in America, economically and politically, are going to allow the bottom 50% of people to install a man who will smash up their beautifully constructed system. The system that gives them exactly what they want all the time.
I hate Trump - but in many ways he is 100% correct - THE ESTABLISHMENT DONT WANT HIM AND THE ESTABLISHMENT HATE THE WORKING PEOPLE OF AMERICA...!!!
Unfortunately, neither Trump nor Berni Sanders are going to be allowed to smash the beautiful system...!!!
This is just how America works - it works on MONEY and the money does not want Trump.

@maxfastest - GOOD ON YOU - but the problem, as you know, is the entirety of western society, your upbringing, your goals in life, the way you value yourself as a human being, they are all based on the premise of buying sh!t you don't actually need.
I need shelter, food, water, electricity, internet connection, second-hand clothes - THATS IT.
And working about 2 hours a day covers those for me.

My sister runs a martial art school, as part of that they have a women's self defence class. Many of the people attending this class have been victims of SA themselves. The ones who didn't report it to the police almost all deeply, regret doing so. The treatment by the police, the lack of care, the hours waiting, the indifference, the accusations, the indignity, the fact that even when a name is given the chances are 50/50 if the person will even be interviewed, and the fact no charges will every realistically be brought, its often as bad as the incident.

THERE IS ONE AREA OF AI THE UK CAN DOMINATE but I guarantee you we will sell it off for a few beans - HEALTHCARE...!!!
Britain is the ONLY country in the world with an extant database of 100 million people from birth to death, every aspect of their health, their life, their habits, their location, their job, their weight, their EYE COLOUR - from 1948 to 2023. THE NHS ARCHIVE Britain could buy in the AI capacity from UK companies and develop the healthcare AI systems THE BEST IN THE WORLD >>>
THE TOP UNIVERSITIES IN THE COUNTRY ALONG WITH THE NHS COULD DO THIS AND THE VALUE OF IT WOULD PAY FOR THE NHS....!!!
But I guarantee you, like the jet engine, like the digital computer, we will sell it to the Americans for a handful of beans, and they will make hundreds of billions of dollars off it...!!!

@shosc16 YEAH the much higher standard of living, the 300 days of sunshine a year, the endless golden sandy beaches, the functioning public services, the 4 NEW hospitals in my city alone, the free university, the 2 years off work if you have a kid, the locally grown seasonal food, the unlimited public transport usage for £16 a month, the unemployment benefit that's £177 a week V the UK with £90, the NO NHS waiting list - had a skin cancer removed last year 108 HOURS from me finding it to it being removed...!!! The slim healthy population, the lowest mental health problems levels in the EU, the schools with dorms so your kids can stay over a couple of nights a week and give you a break, the £0.66p a point beer in bars, the £0.50p coffee the new glass smooth roads the £130 a month rent, the busy thriving high streets, the fact my city is the subject of endless walking tour vid--s about how beautiful it is, the 6 miles of immaculate public parks that encircle the city, the lowest crime rate in the EU, the fig trees and pomegranate trees throughout the city...
ITS ABSOLUTE MISERY.
Look my city up - Burgas - but have a box of tissues ready for when you start crying about how *** it is where you live...

I MAKE BESPOKE HISTORICAL SUTE for men 1890 - 1930 - this is my advice to you - BUY SECONDHAND - if a garment is good enough to sell used its QUALITY - then...
Buy slightly too big and take it to a local seamstress and have it altered TO FIT. Rich people don't look rich cos their clothes are expensive, they look rich cos their clothes FIT. Do not buy fast fashion PLEASE and do not buy "designer" labels - it is ALL keeping you POOR. Both fast fashion AND designer labels are designed to EXTRACT as much money as possible from you >>>
Fast fashion last and average of 7 wears before it is thrown away - so a $15 T Shirt costs you MORE per wear than a Savile Row suit
FDesigner Labels sell to middle-class wannabes and they are SO expensive that you hardly ever wear them and the cost per wear is UNBELIEVABLY HIGH
And the cost per wear is what you need to be looking at - spend $20 on something second had, spend 30 having it altered to fit perfectly and then wear it 200 times its 25 cents per wear V $2.15 for the Fast Fashion T Shirt and $1.50 for the Savile Row suit [2.5 wears per week for 30 years, $5k price]
This is something I care VERY PASSIONATELY about - its destroying the planet, 40% of pollution comes from the clothing industry, and its deliberately designed to make you POOR. They have worked out models of extraction, extraction of MONEY from YOU...!
EDIT: NEVER buy trends, just another way to keep you poor. Go for the "Old Money Astheitic" OR whatever YOU love and wear it until it gets holes in it, then repair/patch the holes and wear it till it literally falls apart. TIP - it is had NOT got a repair and you are throwing it away - then either, its lost its shape or colour and it was cheap - learn from this, it was a trend - dont buy trends, it was a mistake purchase - learn from this.
Sorry for the long post.

THE BOOK is called "Restruct" - its on a list of banned books by the Russians - this is the translation of the "OFICIAL" book review I kid you not...
Hello my little extremism lovers! I know roughly what you expect to see in this book. And I'm sure you will see it. But I hasten to assure you, in fact, there is nothing of this in it. The entire book is written from start to finish. Any coincidences with real people and events are either accidental or are the fruit of your mind inflamed by extremism. The author does not agree with a single word written in the book. Moreover, he, just in case, deeply condemns her. She apologizes to everyone whom she will certainly offend. Wouldn't recommend anyone to read the book. Especially - to aggressively minded groups of citizens, including minors. I hope you don't go crazy reading it the way the author went crazy writing it. Living for an Idea is stupidity. You have to live for pleasure. In order to earn more money, buy a car, an apartment, a cottage. Marry and raise a son. Please take this into account before reading further. You must also remember that all people are equal. Prison corrects people and makes them better... What else is there? In short, go to your mother and ask her what is good. That's all and remember. Try not to forget while reading. And then get it out of your head. If it doesn't work, take it as a joke. Do not discuss with anyone - this is a dangerous occupation for the nerves. Appetite may be lost and some antisocial desire may appear. Believe me, life will be much easier for you. The less you know - you sleep better, the less you think - you live longer! what is good. That's all and remember. Try not to forget while reading. And then get it out of your head. If it doesn't work, take it as a joke. Do not discuss with anyone - this is a dangerous occupation for the nerves. Appetite may be lost and some antisocial desire may appear. Believe me, life will be much easier for you. The less you know - you sleep better, the less you think - you live longer! what is good. That's all and remember. Try not to forget while reading. And then get it out of your head. If it doesn't work, take it as a joke. Do not discuss with anyone - this is a dangerous occupation for the nerves. Appetite may be lost and some antisocial desire may appear. Believe me, life will be much easier for you. The less you know - you sleep better, the less you think - you live longer!

@jasonh4219 well, he didn't love me enough to turn up and meet me! 😀
Being serious, I had to radically change my beliefs as a result of the experience. Whilst there is no man in the sky with the Beard, who comes to say hello, when you die, there is a universal consciousness, and we are all part of that universal consciousness. The universe exists because we perceive it to do so. Consciousness and the universe are one and the same thing they can't exist without each other, you certainly could describe this consciousness is God, and you certainly could describe the fact that consciousness creates the universe as the creation myth.
I now believe that religions are actually humans, trying to explain what I experienced. I don't believe in God, as in a man in the sky, in that respect, I am an atheist. But I am now deeply spiritual I believe in the unity of humanity and the universe.

@Missunderstood103 - OK - this is super complicated and Im ill so i cant do this answer the justice it deserves.
Im an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations, Im British and I live in Bulgaria. So this is a thing I am very aware of - however - the kids here are not alienated, they are not on their phones all the time, I got 4 packed busses on Monday and only 2 of the hundreds of people were staring at their phones permanently - as we have the same access to social media here as in the US and the UK.
I dont believe social media is the problem, I believe it is a SYMPTOM of a collapsing society. I mean everything from the unwalkable built environment to the lack of high street shops the lack of 3rd places, the cost of housing, the low wages, the lack of investment, the alienation from work, the worship of money as a God, the loss of moderate religion, the lack of opportunity, the lack of green spaces, the hyper commercialisation of everything, the gig economy - EVERYTHING...!!!
Bulgaria has the lowest level of mental health problems in the EU and the EU is much lower than the US. They had a saying here 10 years ago "Modernise NOT Am3ric4nise".

@harryfaber - Iman author on psychology, specifically the psychology of narcissism. this may interest you.
The Child In The Well Experiment
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.

WELL CONVERSELY to "love this country" would imply you like poverty, racism, nurses going to food banks, massive in flation, sh!t in the rivers, choosing between heating and eating, corruption on a massive scale, student debt, wealth inequality, not being able to protest, the Met police, and being ruled by people who's sole qualification is they went to Eton.
I utterly HATE Britain at the moment, its only redeemable feature is it might NOT be like this forever.

I live in Europe - I LOVE the high speed rail. I dont use it often, but when I do its AMAZING. No hassle, no boarding, no sh!t seats. You buy a ticket for like $30, you go 5 minutes before the train and you get on, nice seat, watch the countryside go by, maybe have a nice meal at a proper table, a glass of wine and you arrive door to door quicker than if you went through the misery of flying. You arrive happy and refreshed, no baggage to collect, no giant terminal.
Its just NICE.

I AM AN AUTHOR and I have just finished a chapter called "THE UNREASONABLE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROPAGANDA" here is an excerpt:
The other way is to literally change the definition of something. Karl Marx was for the abolition of “Private Property”, the definition today of private property is:
“Private property is a legal designation for the ownership of property by non-governmental legal entities. Private property is distinguishable from public property, which is owned by a state entity.”
So that's everything right? You are not allowed a car, a toothbrush, a watch, a house, a TV, a computer literally everything you own is private property and these dam commies want to take it off you!
Only when Marx wrote this all of these things were “Personal Property”. “Private Property” was widely understood by everyone at the time to mean houses for rent, factories, factory machinery, farmland, drug patents, brand names, industrial units, etc. What we now call “Capital Assets”.
Karl Marx was not against you owing a toothbrush, but the unreasonable effectiveness of propaganda for 150 years has literally changed the definition for the purposes of demonising communism and Marxism. Now you may not agree with Marx that capital assets should be owned by the public for the public good and not the private wealth accumulation of already rich people. That's fine. But I think we can all agree that not wanting Bezos to own Am-zon warhorses where employees have to pee in bottles and step over the dead bodies of coworkers to keep fulfilling orders, is not the same as wanting to confiscate your toothbrush.
It leaves Marxists having to explain ”that's not what he actually meant when he said…” which is a very weak position to be starting a discussion form and it is the exact position the media wanted “the left” to be in when they started redefining Private Property.
So even the things we think we know, we are often wrong because the literal definitions of words have been changed by decades of propaganda.

IF YOU THINK THE RIGHT WIN CARE ABOUT LIFE - READ THIS
The Child In The Well Experiment
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority - close to 100% - of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.
EDIT: You will need to be able to read Chinese to read the report, search YouTube for the translation.

@mugumyapaultheafricannomad9488 - WOW - what an AMAZING trip you are doing. In 2005 I drove from my home country the UK through Europe to Spain and then across to Cuita, then Morroco and down the west coast through Western Sahara, Mauritania, a bit of Algeria, Senegal, The Gambia and a bit of Guinea - Bissau but that was only by going too far on a road at night, we got turned back by the military police.
Ive travelled in 53 countries, hopefully, soon I will be able to travel more in Eastern Europe as I want to talk to more people about their experiences of the communist times here.
To what you were saying, people in the west look at the average earnings here IN Bulgaria - $600 a month and assume everyone is unbelievably miserable and deprived. But 85% of people hare own their own home with no mortgage, most families only one person works, the hospitals are all brand new, the roads like glass, and my rent on a beach front apartment is $150 a month...
Sure the cars tend to be 15 or 20 years old, but apart from that most people live a life that average Americans can only dream of... You cant compare countries on the $$$$ earned per month - its meaningless.

@alanhat5252 I wrote this on another video: KIDS IN BULGARIA
Kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
OH and you get 2 years parental leave from work when you have a kid. And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.
---§---
Bulgaria is doing a very good job of modernizing without Americanising. Its not all sunshine and roses, but my horror is the thought of having to move back to the UK.

@hollybardoe2048 - I chose Bulgaria. Lived here for 12 years and love it.
My rent on a beach front apartment is $150 a month, I work 2 hours a day, we have busy thriving high streets cos there is no Amazon, they still have a great sense of community here, people help each other as a way of life, children play int he streets, the cities are 40% green space and fruit trees [free fruit], income tax is a flat rate 10% [amazing what you can do if you are not funding the worlds biggest army and national debt], 300+ days of sunshine a year, snow for skiing in winter, most families can live on one salary, food is mostly locally grown and reared - but that's getting worse cos they started to allow American food companies to buy the Bulgarian ones so everyone is getting fat cos of the sugar... go figure. I gave my car away last week cos the public transport is so good I was never using it. There are parks and playgrounds ever 400 to 800 yards literally.
Obviously its not perfect, but I think after 12 years I made the right decision. Mostly it is a country organised for ordinary working people, not for the rich. THAT is the big difference. You don't need money to be happy here.

@edi9892 - well the problem with Marx's solution is the USA was psychopathically obsessed with ensuring they didn't work under any circumstances whatsoever...
Communism has never failed, it has always been destroyed. In 1945 the life expectancy in Russia was 35 in 1985 it was 75. The fastest rise in life expectancy in history. In 1915 Russia was a FUDAL society with 90% of people living as literal peasants, in 1960's it beat the USA to put a satellite into orbit.
In the recent elections here in Bulgaria the communist party got 25% of the vote and got the vast majority of the vote of the people who actually remember communism.
85% of people here own their own home with no mortgage - cos evil communism. And 65% own a second home in the countryside for the weekends - no mortgage...
Communism, like everything, is much more complex than can be summed up in a soundbite or western propaganda.
Im an author on the collapse of civilisations, I wrote this a few weeks ago:
COMMUNISM IN 50 YEARS
Well like it or hate it you WILL live in some form of communist state in the next 50 years. Capitalism is FUNDAMENTALLY flawed, I dont mean it has its problems. I mean the very basic concept is self canabalising. Problem No1. Capitalism is a funnel. It funnels wealth from the bottom to the top - it also funnels power from the bottom to the top cos money = power. For capitalism to be stable you have to TAX the top heavily and move the money back down to the bottom JUST to keep the system functioning.
Rich powerful people DO NOT like being taxed. And as capitalism INEVITABLY produces rich powerful people who control media and politicians they get their way. This hoovers all the money out of the working class, then you give them credit - they sell their future work, and then they are EMPTY. But for capitalism to continue it NEEDS MONEY - so the middle class are the next to go - and you can see this in the USA and the UK - it is eating the middle class. It also starts to eat the state, private prisons, private education etc etc...
Ultimately there is NO MONEY left in the system - that has already happened the FED in America si literally printing money to keep the system working.
So capitalism HAS TO COLLAPSE. It is 100% inevitable from the very start of the system. And people predicted this 150 and 200 years ago.
Problem 2. Capitalism HAS to GROW to exist. it is NOT a static model. It has to grow by about 3% each year to continue. That is a DOUBLING of the world economy every 27 years. The earth is at 130% of capacity now. WE CAN NOT extract 260% per year of the earth capacity in another 27 years - its not possible to live on that planet.
SO. A static zero growth economic model is required, a model that removes the profit motive is required [to long to explain why] is required and due to AI a UBI is required - the only economic model we have that allows the earth to survive and people to eat is a communism based model.
It wont be Stalin's Russia, it will be some hybrid modernised version. But YOU WILL LIVE under a communist economic model if you live another 50 years.

@notnek202 - You missed the two biggest issues - one for and one against plastic.
The amount of energy required to transport a glass bottle from a factory to a warehouse to a shop to your home, and all the way back again is vastly more than the energy required to transport a plastic bottle, and it's very often more oil used to transport the glass bottle, then used to make the plastic bottle.
On the other hand, the plastic bottle is lowering your sperm count dramatically as it leeches, estrogen-mimicking chemicals into your food and that's a massive problem.
The biggest issue which you did touch upon is the lack of decomposition. If you watch the series time team, they dig up a rubbish dump from the 1960s, that covers some archaeology, all the plastic is still there. Everything else is rotted away. Even the metal glass is broken into effective gravel, but the plastic is not touched. The land would be perfectly good for agriculture, but you can't plow it because it's full of plastic bags.

@williamgechtman9287 - The limiting factor for EV sales is battery availability. the EV makers all have long waiting lists for their cars. The ONLY reason anyone produces and ICE car is they cant produce enough EV's. NO manufacturer wants to make an ICE massively complicated, a warranty nightmare, they make them cos they cant produce enough EV's - thats the only reason.
Its ALWAYS always about the most modern, fastest, smoothest transportation available.
The ICE car will be like the horse in 15years time, a play thing for enthusiasts who are willing to put up with the inconvenience, the aggravation, the dirt, the smell, the cost - because they love them. My sister has a horse, she also has a Tesla Mod Y on order...

@billthecook4357 - Well as a European it would be my natural reaction to call you crazy for the guns, but you live in a country with 400 million guns, if things get bad they will likely get REALLY bad.
I'm about to publish a book called "ADRIFT IN THE SHARK TANK - how to cope in a post-pandemic world" - its not a preppers guide, its a psychological manual, but this is a section you might relate to:
So your number ONE top priority in life is to clear any debt you have and to never take any more debt on unless it is to start a business or buy a house. Do absolutely everything humanly possible to clear every penny of debt you have, I mean go to extreme lengths. Go around your house and put a little sticker on everything you have not used for the last 12 months - you don't need it, put it on eBay and sell it. Even if you only get $5 for an item - that's $10, $20 even $50 over the lifetime of that debt you are clearing off. Cos $5 can be the difference in a payment happening or a payment “bouncing” and then you will be hit with late fees.
Stop buying ANYTHING that is not food, a necessity for your children, an absolute necessity for life and pay off those debts in the order of most horrifically expensive.
PayDay loans first.
Credit cards second.
Car finance third.
Bank loans fourth.
Mortgage fith.
---§---
This is another section and the one that 99.95 of people fall foul of.
REALITY LAG
‘I haven't learned how to confront a problem by avoiding it.’
Brian Spellman
People’s admission and acceptance of the reality of any given bad situation is always rolling six months to one year behind reality.
This is largely why small businesses go bust, people ignore the red flags for way too long. This is how people end up trapped in an abusive relationship - because they make excuses for the first year and ignore people ignore the red flags. This is how people wind up in a dictatorship, because people ignore the red flags...
...When the universe sends you a hurricane warning via the weather service, it’s probably a good time to board up your house and evacuate. That way you have the best chance of surviving and your property surviving. That's not being pessimistic or unambitious. That's just being sensible, heading the warnings and preparing.
But when the universe sends us a warning that things are not that great with our small business, or our relationship, or our finances, the vast majority of us say, ‘It will be OK’, ‘it will work its self out’, ‘we’ve had hard times before…’
Toxic Positivity has trained us to ignore reality for fear of being ‘negative’ and ‘pessimistic’ when in reality all we would be is prepared. We seek out motivational material to overcome any temporary lag in our relentless and socially approved of positivity. And we deny the reality of our situation.

@Rose-hx9vk NO - wrong again. Im 52 years old. I have travelled in 53 countries, lived on 23 continents, I'm an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations - and NO I dont care about your personal property. "Research Cuba" - I've interviewed over 1000 people who lived under communism in the ex-soviet union - I am LITERALLY typing this IN the ex-Soviet Union. I speak Russian and Bulgarian дори мога да чета и пиша на български. And the schools under communism were FANTASTIC, so shut up with that BS for starters. Many of the people I interviewed had 2, 3 even 4 university degrees.
AND NO they do NOT thank the USA for bankrupting the USDSR they hate you for it - you destroyed their lives.
OH - the USA is collapsing - you have entered "cascading systems failure" and there is no way out...
This is the list of contributing factors to societal collapse:
Plague / disease Y
Environmental change Y
Massive wealth inequality Y
Loss of the administrative class Y
The government stops governing Y
Attack from the outside - now includes cyber attack Y
Loss of faith in the political system Y
Economic collapse Y
Exposed obvious corruption Y
Crumbling infrastructure Y
Mismanagement of a crisis Y
Societal division Y
Loss of belief in the unity of the society Y
Restriction of international trade / loss of trade agreements Y
Increased isolationism Y
Rising internal violence Y
Excessive spending on military / arms race Y
Inability to maintain the currency - hoarding / devaluation / hyper inflation Y
If a majority of things on the list happen to a civilisation simultaneously, it is invariably the end for that civilisation. If all happen at the same time, it's guaranteed to be the end. The USSR collapsed with 9 out of the 18.
America scores 18/18. And you have reached "cascading interconnected systems failure" - everything is broken and everything you need to fix it is also broken.
The only question left is can you MANAGE the collapse? Will it be like the end of the British Empire - or Yugoslavia 1992 with way more guns.
---§---
Capitalism is inherently self-cannibalising - you won't like it, but Marx pointed this out 150 years ago. Just cos you dont like Marx does not mean he was wrong, and sadly for the west, he was right. Capitalism is a funnel that steadily moves wealth to the top. When it has emptied out the working class it starts on the middle class. unless you heavily tax the top and spend the money at the bottom the system LITERALLY runs out of money to function - and this is the USA 2022 with the Fed printing money to keep the system functioning.
Americans voted for tax cuts for 40 years and that has allowed the money to be vacuumed up by the top 1% - 3 people have the same wealth as the bottom 50% - the SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTINUE FUNCTIONING.
The solution for each president "print money" and kick the can down the road till after the next election when its not my problem.
- so no, I'm not young, I'm old and this is my job, analysing how civilisations collapse and how people contribute to that and react to it.
my next book "how to cope in a collapsing society" will be out this year - you should keep an eye out for it.

QUOTE from a 1991 report "When reporters recently tracked down Thomas' sister, Emma Mae Martin, living in a beat-up frame house in Pin Point, Ga., they didn't find a story of welfare dependency.
Instead, they found a story of hard work by three generations of a family struggling like most other families do, just to make ends meet.
Martin was deserted by her husband in 1973, just as her father had disappeared 25 years earlier. She worked two minimum-wage jobs while her brother attended law school, but stopped working to take care of an elderly aunt who had suffered a stroke. That led to four or five years on welfare, trying to make it on $169 a month.
That's over. She now works as a cook at the same hospital where her mother is a nurse's assistant.
What about her children, who Thomas said were being indoctrinated into welfare dependency?
As it turns out, Mark, 22, works as a carpenter. Christine, 20, recently was laid off from a bakery. Leola, 15, is still a student.
And the eldest, Clarence, served aboard the battleship Wisconsin during Operation Desert Storm.
There may be true stories to be found of welfare cheats. Emma Mae Martin is not one of them. In fact, her story sounds more like the story of a mom who did what you're supposed to do: Finish school, work hard, take care of your family and raise your kids to do the same.
Martin feels no bitterness toward her brother. As for his conservatism, she laughed heartily to a Los Angeles Times reporter: ``That's just Clarence. He had his opinions. Whatever he said had to go, just like my grandfather.'"

@ladylaurus8493 " I occasionally hand out hot soup/chili and hot chocolate during the cold winter days " OH this is so nice of you - THANK YOU!
I wrote this on another comment:
Kinds under shcool age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here.
OH and you get 2 years parental leave from work when you have a kid. And teachers are among the highest-paid in society.
I dont have children - but my life is improved every day by the way they treat kids here - they worked out [under communism] if you abuse kids you get a messed up society in 30 years...
---§---
This is in ex communist Bulgaria - say what you want about the communists, they were brilliant at city planning and they created little villages in the city and these villages bring up the children.
My "village" is about 10 apartment blocks with fields and playgrounds and a little high street with busy shops. I know every child and every dog in my "village" and 500 yards away in the next village, I know no one LOL.

EVERY £100 YOU SPEND - 1p GOES TO JEFF BEZOS then the £99.99 is spent and 1p goes to JEFF BEZOS, then the £99.98 ... $35.64, £35.63 ... £0.03, £0.02, £0.01, £0.00
And the problem is - it STAYS THERE. Capitalism is a funnel that moves ALL money to the top, unless you TAX the top and move it to the bottom the system RUNS OUT OF MONEY. And that is where we have got to - quantitive easing - printing money to keep the system working - but that is NOT fixing the problem, it just migrates to the top. --->
We have tried the QE short-term fix and it just made the hyper-rich even richer, we now have a system totally owned by the people we allowed to get hyper-rich and they wont allow politicians to take their vast wealth so the system is literally collapsing.
It emptied out the poor, then the working class and now people care cos its emptying out the middle class. And Im sorry middle class but you didnt give a sh!t when it was working people going to the wall...
The ultimate fate of capitalism is the 2nd richest guy on earth giving his last 1p to the one man who has ALL the global money for some rice.
The time to act was 30 years ago - its too late now, the hyper-rich OWN the system.

@nathanfleming1051 - Thats why items are $99 on Amazon and $75 on the company's own website as the OP comments.
The big issue is they are not upfront about the costs, they hide as many as possible. E.G. I had 7,000 tubes of fluoride toothpaste in an Amazon warehouse in America that went out of date. It was an error. They DONT return ship from an Amazon warehouse internationally, Fine just dispose of it - there was a "picking fee" for each item as if it would be sold, then there was a disposal fee and because it contained fluoride it was a hazardous material so it had to be disposed of "safely" - it cost me $35,000 to throw away 7,000 tubes of toothpaste it would have, in reality, cost them $300 to ship to me and I could have had disposed of locally for $500
There are endless things like this that they never mention, but you HAVE to pay as part of the business.
Then there is the storage fee - its free for the first year, but then its like $1 an item per month or something [can't remember the exact number] and they WONT return internationally - so you have a $35 face cream costing you $12 a year as its not selling. And they DONT tell you which items it is - its just your "stock holding cost" so it just goes up and up and up as you accumulate unsold stock.
so lets say its on the shelf for 3 years -= 2 you pay $12 for = $24
Then they charge you $5 to throw it away
It cost you $15
Shipping it to them cost you $1
Thats $45 you just lost
BUT AMAZON made $29 even though you never even sold the thing. If you had sold it for $35 they would have taken say 40% = $14
Can you see why they do this stuff...???
So you get $21 of the $35 - it costs you 15 +1 to ship it to Amazon = $16 you made $5
But the 1 that didnt sell lost you $45 so you have to sell 9 just to get back to ZERO profit - so on 10 $35 face creams you just made $0
And we were selling between 250k and 500k items a year, so imagine the complexity of the maths you have to do. This is why you have to be REALLY good at probability and statistics, the only way you can make money on Amazon is to be really good at probability, like a bookie or a casino.
sorry for the long rant - 10 years of my life spent worrying 24/7 about this crap. I am so pleased to be free of it.

Here is a list of treaties that the United States has broken or pulled out of since its founding in 1776:
Treaties with Indigenous Nations
Treaty with the Delawares/Treaty of Fort Pitt (1778): The first treaty between the U.S. and an Indigenous nation. The treaty stipulated peace and mutual support against the British, but in 1782, Pennsylvania militiamen murdered almost 100 Lenape citizens at Gnadenhutten
.
Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1784): The Iroquois Confederacy ceded part of New York and Pennsylvania in return for the U.S. protecting tribal lands from further settlement. However, the U.S. did not enforce the treaty terms, and the Iroquois Confederacy's lands continued to shrink
.
Treaty of Hopewell (1785-86): Three treaties signed by the U.S. and the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Nations promised protection and no future settlement on tribal lands. Despite this, white settlers continued to encroach on treaty territory
.
Treaty of Canandaigua/Pickering Treaty (1794): The U.S. returned over a million acres of Iroquois land and recognized the sovereignty of the Six Nations. However, the land was eventually lost to U.S. expansion, and the tribes were forced to relocate
.
Treaty of Greenville (1795): The tribes of the Northwestern Confederacy ceded large tracts of land in the Great Lakes region, but white settlers continued to expand into treaty lands
.
Treaty with the Sioux (1805): Gen. Zebulon Pike allegedly obtained cession of 100,000 acres of land from Dakota leaders, but the treaty was not officially proclaimed by the president, and the purchase price was adjusted without proper consultation
.
Treaty of Fort Wayne (1809): The Potawatomi were forced to cede land, and in 1838, the U.S. government enforced their removal through a 660-mile forced march, resulting in many deaths
.
Fort Laramie Treaty (1851): The treaty defined the territory of the Great Sioux Nation and promised protection from American citizens, but settlers and the U.S. military violated the treaty and invaded Lakota lands
.
Treaties of Traverse des Sioux and Mendota (1851): The Dakota and Mendota ceded millions of acres of land in exchange for reservations and payment, but they never received either provision, and the U.S. Senate eliminated the reservation provision
.
Land Cession Treaty with the Ojibwe/Treaty of Washington (1855): The Ojibwe ceded land but retained hunting and fishing rights on ceded territory. However, Minnesota later outlawed hunting and harvesting without a license on off-reservation land, violating the treaty
.
Medicine Lodge Treaty (1867): The treaty relocated Plains tribes onto reservations, but the U.S. violated the terms by withholding payments, preventing hunting, and reducing reservation sizes
.
Fort Laramie Treaty (1868): Established the Great Sioux Reservation and protected the Black Hills, but the discovery of gold in 1874 led to the U.S. redrawing the boundaries to allow mining
It goes on for page after page after page...!!!

Andrea Thomas -They are not hieroglyphics, they are emojis. And it does mean something, it signals the infantilisation of language and thought. A cogent thought is no longer required, just emoji, emoji, emoji. Children use emojis as they have not yet developed the depth of thought nor the patience to construct a reasoned argument. It's a reflexive, emotional response, not a cerebral response. Appropriate, I may say, for a 13-year-old...

@elyssay3157 - Ok I am going to send you a link to a study in a separate comment cos YouTube often deletes messages with outside links thinking they are spam and I don't want to have to re-type this. If you cont get it just Google "Frontiers in Psychology Facebook study". The problem with these studies is they tend to focus on ONE specific question and the answer to any Facebook related question is "yes it makes you more miserable" or similar.
The issue is the combined effect - it makes everyone more miserable the longer you are on it and the more "friends" you have on there, but combine that with external stresses [they have to eliminate or account for these in studies for obvious reasons] and it is a multiplying effect.
My job - it is on the whole incredibly rewarding. I work for free [my income comes from the books I have written] so it would have to be pretty rewarding to do it for free.
Ill be honest - you get numb to the horror. I have clients that have been set on fire, I have clients that have been turned into drug addicts, beaten if they want to stop the drugs, clients who have been systematically tortured, raped, cut, abused, you name it. But its like the green numbers in the matrix movie.
Its background, its their story but it does not affect me [I cant let it] and it does not actually affect their recovery very much. There is little difference between coming to terms with the psychological effects of any of the things I have just mentioned.
Abuse is abuse, trauma is trauma, and the human mind deals with them all in remarkably similar ways.

@98cents you have hit on a really important point. I'm an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations. For the vast majority of people in the majority of civilisation collapses, they have no idea it's happening. It's written about by historians retrospectively most people don't even notice.
A few, like the collapse of the USSR, are so brutal, and so instant that everybody notices. But that's not the norm.
America is collapsing, it's kind of been collapsing for 20 years, it will probably continue its steady decline for another hundred years. Unless it does, something catastrophically dumb like Britain did with Brexit, which tipped the country into total freefall collapse, people will be making videos similar to this in five years, 10 years, 20 years.
The best thing to do is do not worry about it, learn to live on less than you earn, save a bit of money, try and enjoy your life, and most definitely don't follow social media.

@T1tusCr0w This is a translation from Chinese - the experiment was done by the Bejing University:
The Child In The Well Experiment
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.
---§---
These are the tories, these are the business leaders [mostly], these are the right wing. We make the mistake of thinking they are essentially like us but the worst version of ourselves. NO. They are a different species - with no morals or cares for anyone who is not their blood relative - or in the case of their partner, their property.
The only reason tory MP's dont eat a live baby on stage is it would not get them elected. IF it would get them elected they would eat one nightly.
They have NO MORALS.

This was my comment: I MAKE €5k BESPOKE HISTORICAL SUTE for men 1890 - 1930 - this is my advice to you - BUY SECONDHAND - if a garment is good enough to sell used its QUALITY - then...
Buy slightly too big and take it to a local seamstress and have it altered TO FIT. Rich people don't look rich cos their clothes are expensive, they look rich cos their clothes FIT. Do not buy fast fashion PLEASE and do not buy "designer" labels - it is ALL keeping you POOR. Both fast fashion AND designer labels are designed to EXTRACT as much money as possible from you.
Fast fashion last and average of 7 wears before it is thrown away - so a $15 T Shirt costs you MORE per wear than a Savile Row suit
Designer Labels sell to middle-class wannabes and they are SO expensive that you hardly ever wear them and the cost per wear is UNBELIEVABLY HIGH
And the cost per wear is what you need to be looking at - spend $20 on something second had, spend $30 having it altered to fit perfectly and then wear it 200 times its 25 cents per wear V $2.15 for the Fast Fashion T Shirt and $1.50 for the Savile Row suit [2.5 wears per week for 30 years, $5k price]
This is something I care VERY PASSIONATELY about - its destroying the planet, 40% of pollution in developing nations comes from the clothing industry, and its deliberately designed to make you POOR. They have worked out models of extraction, extraction of MONEY from YOU...!
NEVER buy trends, just another way to keep you poor. Go for the "Old Money Astheitic" OR whatever YOU love and wear it until it gets holes in it, then repair/patch the holes and wear it till it literally falls apart. TIP - it is had NOT got a repair and you are throwing it away - then either, its lost its shape or colour and it was cheap - learn from this, it was a trend - dont buy trends, it was a mistake purchase - learn from this.
Sorry for the long post.

@Nogoodalvarez " countries of Latin America and the world like Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Argentina". You mean all the countries America destabilised and sponsored coups in? I wonder why political violence is emerging???
It is a paradox of colonialism of all kinds, that the horrors you unleash on the colonies eventually come home to eat the coloniser. Britian invented the joint stock company and the tax haven to strip wealth out of India, not they are eating the UK and America. America incited distruct in the political systems in " countries of Latin America and the world like Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Argentina" and it has now eaten the political system of the USA>

@BobPagani - GOOD LUCK with your recovery!!! My big thing is that mental health is no different to physical health. We accept that you need to work 30 minutes to an hour a day at your physical health, and its NO DIFFERENT for your mental health.
You dont have good mental health just as a function of living, it requires active work, mental games, exercises, meditation, Tai chi, walking in nature, down time, yoga, etc etc etc.
Again GOOD LUCK with your recovery!!! I mean it.

@terryshrk - IM an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations, as such I assure you that I think about America every day. Here let me help out your propagandised brain:
These are the 18 indicators of a collapsing civilisation.
Plague / disease Yes
Environmental change Yes
Massive wealth inequality Yes
Loss of the administrative class Yes
The government stops governing Yes
Attack from the outside - now includes cyber attack Yes
Loss of faith in the political system Yes
Economic collapse Yes
Exposed obvious corruption Yes
Crumbling infrastructure Yes
Mismanagement of a crisis Yes
Societal division Yes
Loss of belief in the unity of the society Yes
Restriction of international trade / loss of trade agreements Yes
Increased isolationism Yes
Rising internal violence Yes
Excessive spending on military / arms race Yes
Inability to maintain the currency - hoarding / devaluation / inflation Yes
If a majority of things on the list happen to a civilisation simultaneously, it is invariably the end for that civilisation. If all happen at the same time, it's guaranteed to be the end. The USSR collapsed with 9 out of the 18.
America scores 18/18. And you have reached "cascading interconnected systems failure" - everything is broken and everything you need to fix it is also broken.
---§---
Oh and nice of you to notice the migrant, yes the migrants America caused by their failed imperial adventures in the Middle East, yes we are deeply deeply grateful for the catastrophic mess you caused there. It cost you $8 trillion, but you just walked away, the people of the Middle East are left clearing up your mess and we Europeans are left looking after the refugees you created.
---§---
Yes, I do think about America every day, my main preoccupation is the only question that really matters. How do you MANAGE the collapse? Will it be like the end of the British Empire - or Yugoslavia 1992 with way more guns. Half a billion guns...
How does a county of 330 million people with half a billion guns manage the collapse of its empire, society and economy...???

OK - whilst I like EV's Im NOT going to minimise the issue BUT... The fossil fuel industry are spending billions of $$$ to amplify every EV fire and to blame everything on EV fires.
In the USA per vehicle, petrol cars set n fire 18 times MORE frequently [per capita as it were] than EV's. Frementle Highway - the fire brigade, the owners and the insurance company say it was NOT started by an EV, for stability reasons, they load EV's on the bottom decks cos they are heavier and the fire started 2 decks above the EV's QUOTE "The fire was initially suspected to have been triggered by a burning EV, but officially, the cause is still unknown. However, new information points to the fire being unrelated to electric vehicles and triggered by either an ICE vehicle or something else entirely"
The reporting on this Luton fire from the BBC seems to indicate the structural collapse led to the fire, not the other way around.
We definitely need to improve EV batteries re fire, cos petrol cars setting EV alight is a MASSIVE problem, EV's setting on fire is a massive problem when it occasionally happens. But the Swedes are rolling out these heavy tarps you pull over the fire and it smothers it, we need to adapt our systems to the EV's
But the fossil fuel companies want to massively highlight every single issue and blame it on an EV.

@stereo-soulsoundsystem5070 Oh OK - First of all, total credit for admitting you don't know and asking - that is a skill that will help you a lot in life...!!
Bespoke means its made totally custom for you...! So If you came to me for a suit, I would take every measurement of your body, look at how you stand, how you walk, any unevenness in your body. Then we would discuss what you want, I actually make historical suits 1890 to 1940, but within that range, you can choose anything you want, we will choose the fabric and it will be made by hand, mostly hand-stitched, then there will be a fitting to make sure I have got it right and then I will finish it.
It will be the only one in the world and it will be what you want down to the colour of the buttons.
I will also tell yo what NOT to buy, things that will go out of fashion, fabrics that wont lost a long time, etc etc If you put on weight there is additional fabric hidden inside so you can have it altered to make it bigger up to about 4 inches 100mm
It takes me about 150 to 250 hours and will cost you about €5,000 on the other hand it will last you 25 to 50 years of regular wear

CAPITALISM IS A FUNNEL it funnels money inexorably to the top - the end point of capitalism is the 2nd richest guy on earth giving the richest guy the last penny for food...
Every £100 you spend 1 penny goes to Bazos and stays there, then the £99.99p left gets spent and 1p goes to Bazos, then the £99.98, 97, 96, £35.44, 43, 42... £0.01 - £0.00
To keep an economy functioning you hate to TAKE that money off the hyper-rich and give to the poor, not to be nice TO KEEP THE SYSTEM WORKING. Money is the oil in the engine, it lubricates trade. Once you let the hyper-rich accumulate all the oil, the engine seizes up. THIS is what is happening. We have been putting new oil in in the form of "quantitative easing" and it all just makes its way to the hyper-rich and stays there.

my sister was an agro economist for the world bank - the problem is all world grain commodities are owned by just 3 companies who are currently withholding grain to force prices higher, using the Ukraine war as an excuse.
QUOTE " "The major traders, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus, collectively known as the ABCD traders, share a significant presence in a range of basic commodities, controlling, for example, as much as 90 per cent of the global grain trade."
this is about profiteering, this is not a conspiracy, she wrote report after report on this in her time with the WB.

In 2014 I was worth €6 million. Then I suffered brain damage in a mugging and lost everything. Went from multiple luxury apartments to a tiny 1 bedroomed completely empty apartment in the very worst part of the city. I has 1 old chair, cooked on a hob on the floor, ate of the 1 cracked plate I had.
At first, I was really embarrassed by my poverty, but slowly I started to LIKE the simplicity, the lack of clutter, the lack of technology.
I now live a very tiny minimalist life, I actively try to get RID of the things in my life that creep in.
I don't even have a refrigerator, I walk to the shop and buy food every meal.
This life allows me to work about 2 hours a day, cos Im not paying for all the crap I dont need, the crap that was ultimately making me unhappy.
It really is true, the things you own end up owning YOU...!!!
The things you pay a service fee for monthly - 10 X so...!

@Titan500J - Well credit to you - and I mean that. Only one time in 1000 does someone say "I stand corrected" and that sets you apart from a hell of a lot of people.
"would you want Sean Hannity CNN, MSNBC to balance what there saying" NO - I would want news channels to be funded by cooperatives OR the shares only owned by SMALL ordinary investors. You are not allowed to own more than say - 50 shares of any media outlet.
Who are the real kings in this world???
The people that own the media - the PEOPLE of America did not elect Trump - Rupert Murdoch elected Trump and that is horrifically toxic and dangerous.
If you want to know HOW dangerous - watch Sky News Australia. You think US media is bad - they called Greta Thunberg a child abuser the other week!!!
They said that today's youth has NOTHING to worry about with the climate at all, its all a con...
NOW you might argue about the REASONS for climate change in America but I don't think anyone is saying it is not happening...
Lets remember that Australia USED to have a "Great Barrier Reef" no longer, and half the country was on fire last year.
The whole of western civilisation is screwed, everything is owned by the billionaires - the Kings - the media, the politicians of all parties, the corporations, and almost ALL the money - there is no money LEFT in the US economy, it is sat in the bank accounts of billionaires.
Why do you think Bezos's $500 million yacht has sails - which prevent helicopters landing so it needs a support yacht...??? You think that is to be environmentally friendly??
NO - its so that it can run indefinitely without refuelling if and when the USA erupts in revolution against the rich and its too dangerous to dock for fuel.
Superyachts are SOLD as safe refuges from the revolution - that is literally IN THE SALES LITERATURE as the main selling point. And sales of superyachts are through the roof...
There is no such thing as right wing or left wing - there are rich and poor. Everything else is just a distraction from the pitchforks and the revolution.
But collapse is coming to the USA, and as horrible as it is, its NEEDED. And its needed in my own home country of the UK - they are about 5 to 10 years behind the USA in collapsing...
Sorry for the long post.

IM AN AUTHOR ON psychology and the collapse of civilisations and I won't waste your time with the reasons you should leave Am3ric4 - but you should, its a one-way ticket down hill from here on out. Its over. If you want a look at your future - look at the UK, my home country. I will give you ONE example of why its over.
China has started to issue gov Bonds in $USD cos the OPEC countries do not trust the US as a safe place to keep their $$$. I have a thousand others, but thats a bit one. Where to go --->
Countries have cycles that last 80 to 100 years, rebirth, growth, stagnation and collapse, the US is entering the collapse, you want a country that is in the GROWTH stage so that is a country that had it rough 25 years ago - so that is Eastern Europe, the far East, Parts of Africa, maybe India, Some south American countries.

@andreapfister453 Ive led a life that most would consider amazing, and I'm not trying to boast. Ive done the PariDakar rally, I've been lost in a live minefield, Ive been taken into the jungle to be executed, Ive started a multi million $$$ businesses in a country where I didn't speak the language or even read the alphabet, I've overcome severe alcoholism, meth addiction, brain damage, Ive sailed a yacht across France, lived off grid in a log cabin, lived off grid in the yacht in the south of France - but all of them were just desperate attempts to be happy.
They were not successes, as most people would see them. They were failed attempts to find something that made me happy. I absolutely never occurred to me that living a tiny modest life writing the odd book and hand-sewing historical suits would make me incredibly fulfilled and very happy.
I was born very poor so assumed that happiness was to be found in money and adventure. The people in the movies always look so happy with their wealth and their adventures...

@archvaldor - IGNORE my previous comment. Its 100% true, but ignore it. But really pay attention to this one!
I know for you, a person of principle, voting for Starmer or a Blair type is like eating dog sh!t. But in a world full of literal fascists, sometimes you have to eat dog Sh!t.
When the Tories win - people die. It is as simple as that. If we had had a competent government in covid 100,000 people would still be alive. If we had a competent government for 13 years another 250,000 people, the excess deaths of austerity, would still be alive. 350,000 people died cos Labour did not win.
THAT is why you eat dog sh!t.
Young moralistic - very admirable - people look for the good in the world, they demand the good in the world happen. But in doing so they allow the BAD in the world TO happen.
In a first past-the-post-voting system you do NOT vote for the good thing you WANT to happen, you vote to stop the bad thing from happening
And the reason bad things keep happening is cynical old Boomers 100% know this and to them the bad thing is lower house prices and immigrants, so they show up 90% at elections and they vote. People like you, very admirable people with vision and hope, you stay at home angry at the system that didnt give you something to vote for.
But you know what? Thats a self-fulfilling prophesy - Young people don't vote old people do so WHO do the parties target with their policies...??? BOOMERS and GEN X who vote. Starmer is more successful than Corbyn cos he targets people who are LIKELY TO VOTE.
Corbyn was a terrible terrible leader cos he motivated the Boomers to vote against him in record numbers, but he didnt motivate enough young people to vote FOR HIM. the worst of all possible combinations.
Corbyn lost cos Millenials and Gen Z didn't turn out for him, and a lot of you won't turn out for Starmer cos you don't want to eat dog sh!t.
I can not STAND Starmer - I don't even live in the Uk, I live in Bulgarian and my previous UK home is in David Dvises veery safe constituency - but I have set up a proxy vote, it has taken me hours and hours to sort out - but I have done it, I have gone to great lengths just to EAT DOG SH!T to try and help you guys...!!!
So go out on election day and eat some f-king dog sh!t cos people will die and democracy will die if you dont...
OK

Im an author on psychology and the are in many ways another species: The Child In The Well Experiment
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.
And this was conducted in China - a very social society, in America its likely a higher %
---§---
The right-wing doesn't HAVE empathy for others in the same way the left does. To then it's IDIOTIC to care about a person who does not share your DNA. They had an evolutionary role - they ran away when the village was attacked and 1 in 5 times they would be the only survivor. They stole and hoarded food for themselves in a famine and 1 in 5 times they would be the only survivor.
But in a modern society of abundance, they are extremely badly suited, essentially they are just horrible people. But its not their fault. They are another species.

LILLY THE PINK IS BRILLIANT...!!!
We'll drink a drink, a drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case
Mr. Freers had sticky out ears
And it made him awful shy
And so they gave him medicinal compound
And now he's learning how to fly
Robert Tony was known to be bony
He would never eat his meal
And so they gave him medicinal compound
Now they move him round on wheels
We'll drink a drink, a drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the pink
The savior of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case
Old Ebenezer thought he was Julius Caesar
And so they put him in a home
Where they gave him medicinal compound
And now he's emperor of Rome
Johnny Hammer had a terrible st-st-st-st-stammer
He could hardly s-s-say a word
And so they gave him medicinal compound
Now's he's seen, but never heard
We'll drink a drink, a drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case
Aunty Milly ran willy-nilly
When her legs they did recede
And so they rubbed on medicinal compound
Now they call her Milly Pede
Jennifer Eccles had terrible freckles
And the boys all called her names
But she changed medicinal compound
Now he joins in all the games
We'll drink a drink, a drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case
Lily the Pink, she turned to drink
She filled up with paraffin inside
And despite her medicinal compound
Sadly pickled Lily died
Up to heaven her soul ascended
All the church bells they did ring
She took with her medicinal compound
Hark the herald angels sing
We'll drink a drink, a drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The savior of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

@backpacker3421 - NO - Its a large multitude of things [you know - cos its a complicated subject] but one of the biggest factors are the micro-interactions Europeans have that Americans dont.
You live in massive sprawling isolated car-dependent suburbs, you don't even go to the mall any more, everything is delivered, you don't work in the office any longer, you dive everywhere - you live in hermetically sealed capsules where you NEVER meet another person, or an opinion you don't like, or a smell you dont like.
Let me tell you a story. An American came to Europe a few weeks ago and said "Europeans SMELL, when I am out and about walking through the town I can smell them"
The conversation went on "where do you walk out and about in the USA?" "I dont - I drive"
THATS WHAT PEOPLE SMELL LIKE...!!!
She had no idea what humans smelled like.
Im an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations and I am worried by the way you are, as a nation, destroying your own civilisation as you retreat into your own pods of exclusion that allow no other thoughts, opinions or other human beings in. Sure decent health care helps, but as a nation, you are retreating from the world.

@DanielJones-xj9nt - You are the worst, because you could be the BEST, but you choose not to be. The ones that are worse, and I have travelled in many of them in Africa, they don't have the OPTION to be better at the moment. And in fact, the worst of all, Senagaul, apparently have got a lot better since I was there in 2005.
Im British and in the 19th century we had the mantle of the worst country on earth, cos we were the richest, we got it through stealing from other nations and we STILL had massive poverty in Britain.
If you are thinking of leaving, my advice is to leave - Britain and the USA are both collapsing and my life has utterly transformed since I moved to Bulgaria - its a country on the UP, not the decline and OMG that makes such a difference. Everyone is happy and optimistic, things get slightly better every day, not worse. It makes the world of difference.

@drscopeify - Well you identify a very very interesting point, which is "life goes on"
Almost no one in a collapse knows they are IN A COLLAPSE, the collapse of the USSR is an exception. "Collapse" is a thing we attribute retrospectively to a period, and my book is actually not about the collapse its self, its about coping with it and not being depressed by the news. If you stopped watching the news, you would likely hardly even notice except the prices going up a bit too fast.
YES economise, civilisations, countries go through cycles. You might like the book "the Fourth Turning' which goes into this in great detail. Countries go through an 80 to 100 year cycle of rebirth, growth, stagnation and collapse. A long human lifetime, a "Saeculum". The UK and the USA are in the collapse phase, but they won't vanish of the surface of the earth.
America will have to consign its self to being No3 in the world, behind China and India - its just simple maths 1.4 billion people trumps 330 million, end of story.
The UK will likely break apart and we will have to patch things up with the EU and life will be rough for the next 20 years or so, but England, NI, Scotland and Wales will still be there and they will reinvent themselves and the cycle will start again. But I do think that the domination of western civilisation is coming to an end.
But even if China becomes "Gloabal Sovereign" as there is a possibility - life for the average person will change little...
"COVID which is why central banks over reacted " The central banks didnt over react, the problem is governments DID NOT tax that extra money back OUT of the system when it reached its way inevitably to the top 1%.
The UK injected £700 billion - they never took it back, that £700 billion is NOW in the bank accounts of the very wealthy - £14,000 per person, so if YOU dont have £14,000 extra some other person has your £14,000 and they are using it to buy houses and stocks and gold and arm land and this is what is f-king up the economy.

HOW LONG CAN TRUMP KEEP THIS UP? forever, he is a narcissist, he had been like this since he was 16, this is HOW he lives - the "act" is his life
How long will te repubs stay with him forever, they NO LONGER inhabit the same world YOU do, they have moved 1inch at a time into a fantasy world that is now several miles away from you and reality.
THIS IS HOW NARCISSISTS GET VICTIMS they don't viciously abuse from day 1. It starts super nice and amazing and then moves 1 inch a day to a different world where all there is is abuse and horror, but for the victim - this is their world. No friends, no family, no connection to reality, total control given over to the narcissist, no work, no money, no phone, no privacy, no tv, NO REALITY. Only the one the narcissist created for them to live in. Even their personality is just a distant memory...

@vignetteorleans1631 they are forced bit by bit into tiny and tiny areas of the country, the areas are surrounded by barbed wire and walls. They're not allowed out of them. They're not allowed to have free-trade in or out of the areas. They have no rights of citizens. They are in giant concentration camps basically.
There is 50% unemployment in Gaza, the only option for jobs is to work is essentially a slaves for the rich Israelis, they settleр communities, is a euphemism for Israelis, who can legally steal Palestinian houses, they bulldoze them, and build giant rich villas with swimming pools next two families living without water looking through the Barbwire fence at the house they used to live in.
Over the last 10 years, 6880, Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli defence force, 50% of those are in the 20 years old. They just take pot shots at the children running about in the streets, and if the children dare throw a stone at the IDF, they are arrested taken and tortured thrown in prison for months and may be murdered.
.Israel is not to blame for this, Palestine is not to blame for this, Britain start of this. And for 70 years America has been responsible for continuing this. America's vetoed 38 UN resolutions to intercede and restore peace in the area, but the far right Zionist Christian right wing nutters in America, will not allow any American politician to get elected if they don't pathologically support Israel, because they need Israel to exist for the end of day is prophecy. Where all the people of that region and Faith are killed, except 147 I think, and all the Christians ascend to heaven, or some of the weird made up mythological bullsh!т.

EVERY £100 YOU SPEND - 1p GOES TO JEFF BEZOS then the £99.99 is spent and 1p goes to JEFF BEZOS, then the £99.98 ... $35.64, £35.63 ... £0.03, £0.02, £0.01, £0.00
And the problem is - it STAYS THERE. Capitalism is a funnel that moves ALL money to the top, unless you TAX the top and move it to the bottom the system RUNS OUT OF MONEY. And that is where we have got to - quantitive easing - printing money to keep the system working - but that is NOT fixing the problem, it just migrates to the top. --->
We have tried the QE short-term fix and it just made the hyper-rich even richer, we now have a system totally owned by the people we allowed to get hyper-rich and they wont allow politicians to take their vast wealth so the system is literally collapsing. It emptied out the poor, then the working class and now people care cos its emptying out the middle class. And Im sorry middle class but you didnt give a sh!t when it was working people going to the wall... The ultimate fate of capitalism is the 2nd richest guy on earth giving his last 1p to the one man who has ALL the global money for some rice. The time to act was 30 years ago - its too late now, the hyper-rich OWN the system.
The UK govt gave out £700 billion in covid relief - WHERE IS THAT MONEY NOW???
It migrated to the bank accounts of the hyper-rich and they are using it to buy your mothers house

@cloudboy7750 HI - Actually Im English - Ive lived here 14 years. I live in Burgas, I always tell people to look it up cos its not anything like you would expect. We have banana trees, fig trees, pomegranates, miles of golden beaches, blue sea 110F summers, 300 days of sunshine, 10% income tax, 15 minute walkable city, free healthcare, 2 Years parental leave if you have a kid, $1,500 a year university, locally grown real food in the shops. NO Uber NO Amazon NO eBay, actual shops where people talk to you and ask you how you are...
I travelled in a LOT of countries before I chose to settle here.

I left the UK in 2009 to go live in Bulgaria - there were horses and carts on dirt roads when I arrived, now there are electric busses every 7 minutes on glass smooth highways and free city wide WiFi, the first high speed rail line from my city to the capital will open very soon and I will be able to travel anywhere in Europe at 150mph, Istanbul will be my first trip - £30.
I cry, almost literally, when I look at the total collapse. People here have 2 years parental leave if they have a kid, hot food delivered every day if your kid is under school age, free school means for every kid, basically free university. My rent on a beach front apartment is £135 a month. The vast majority of people have 2 kids on one salary quite easily.
My standard of living - which is just the normal for a Bulgarian person - would utterly collapse if I returned to the UK.
Everything works here, everything, the high streets are busy, the bars and cafes are full, people are happy and optimistic. We dont have a Tory party.

THEY WILL NOT LEAVE why...??? Cos tax havens are sh!t hole little islands with nothing on them and everything the rich want they have around them.
Their family, the theatre, the faces, the F1, the golf club, the banking system, the property they own, the people they rely on, the tailors, John Lobb, the restaurants they go to...

Im a tailor of bespoke men's historical suits 1890 to 1940 and I am fully aware of the meaning behind Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia intentions and commentary - The trash bags and old shoes were a commentary on consumerism and fast fashion. They were saying everything fast fashion is trash, we can make a literal trash bag of higher quality than Zara make a bag. And YOU SHOULD wear your shoes until they look like this and NOT just throw them away for the trend changes. Things in the show were in dumpsters with people diving for them.
HOWEVER, you are a massive snob and you give us all a bad image, please stop. Just because YOU know a lot about your personal very niche interest does not make other people stupid.
"You guys don’t understand the creative energy behind fashion". is an incredibly pompous thing to say, you are not special.
Compare that with my comment:
"IM GOING TO STAND UP FOR BALENCIAGA not the people who buy the stuff, the designers - the things they do have a meaning within the context of the fashion show..."
-----
"AND your reactions and commentary are low worth." No lower than yours, did ANYONE gain anything from your comment, did any one LEARN anything from your comment?
NO - you just preened your ego. You added zero value to the world, and you claim to UNDERSTAND "creative energy behind fashion"?
I don't believe you do, I think you are just a snob, and if you work in this industry you are going to have to work on that.

@RenewalFountain - I spent about 8 years working with victims of narcissistic abuse and the 3 things that are most directly interlinked with stress and depression are:
1) Sleep - I hate to be that guy but get up early and go to bed early
2) Physical fitness / exercise - I would argue that physical health and mental health are the same thing - health. They are SO closely linked I no longer believe in making a distinction.
3) Diet - this is a weird one. But 90% of the serotonin in your body is made by the bacteria in your gut, serotonin is the "contented happy with life" hormone. Cut out sugar, cut down carbs and eat some animal fats like butter and a WIDE variety of different plants, you dont need a lot. You are just feeding the bacteria in your gut.
Get up early, go for a walk, and eat low card high variety diet and honestly, that is the foundation for a happy life.
BTW - if you get that 2am "I just dont want to go to bed" feeling - thats actually a fear of tomorrow. today is over, the horrors are over, nothing bad will happen, you have got through today but tomorrow - anything could happen. Its normal, most people have this at some point in their life. If you want to get rid of it - get up get straight in a freezing cold shower - that way the worst part of the day is over with immediately.
😀

@apmanda Fastest growing cities in Am3ric4:
Austin, Texas [semi deasert]

So sounds like you have no clue what you are talking about - out of the top 20 fastest-growing cities in the U5A in 2024 - only 4 are in easily habitable climates / locations.
You know what else is bad in. the US? The education system.

This was my comment: I ENFORCE BOREDOM UPON MYSELF Every 90 minutes I take 10 minutes and do NOTHING, no music, no TV, no podcast, I just stop, lie down [I work from home] and I do absolutely NOTHING for 10 minutes - no sensory input at all.
It has dramatically impacted my life, my ADHD, my mood, my ability to concentrate, and my awareness of my body and mind. Dopamine is a numbing agent.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I have also started reading again and enjoying it - I read old books that give me a glimpse into the past. Im currently reading "tom Brown School Days" which is the book JKR ripped off for harry potter.
Old books are very slow paced and I would NEVER have been able to read them if I had not started enforcing boredom upon myself. But I warn you - It may be traumatic at first, you will have vast amounts of stuff you never processed and it will come flooding out in the first few weeks...

I'm an author and last week I wrote a chapter called "The unreasonable effectiveness of propaganda" this is a shit snippet
Propaganda and bad news, bad news and propaganda. The propaganda that the status quo will keep you safe from the bad news. Very occasionally you can see it fracture. When the narrative of the status quo keeping you safe is destroyed as it was in Texas yesterday when 19 little children were massacred at school. Then you have the fracturing of the media and the talking heads. The status quo is not keeping people safe, the late-night comedians are in tears screaming at the camera demanding action, the MSNBC hosts are stern faced and demanding action, CNN are disappointed, Fox News are making excuses and saying more guns are the answer.
The spectrum of apoplectic outrage to excuses mirroring exactly the advertising revenue and financial interests of those involved.
On almost every other subject they are united. Capitalism good, neoliberalism good, military spending good, economic growth good, police good, legal system good, criminal system good. They snipe about tiny differences, are too many people locked up in prison? But never “is prison a really dumb idea that causes way more problems for society than it solves and it literally solves no problems?” [spoiler - yes]

@lemdixon01 - "How do you think that a gender studies degree is in any way on the whole useful for society" You have literally never googled what a degree in gender studies entails or what use it is have you...??
What you think is "It contains the words gender, I hate transgender people, therefore I hate people who do gender studies" as confirmed by your bigoted idea they would likely be on hormone treatment. Let me give you an example, in the military, you have male and female pilots - you NEED to know if they process information differently in stressful situations THATS GENDER STUDIES.
People with gender studies degrees work in the aviation industry on designing flight control user interfaces.
White men in their 30' to 50's kill themselves as the highest rate of any section of society by a frightening margin, finding out why so we can stop it - THATS GENDER STUDIES
These dead men - 30,000 a year - they are usually right wing.
You might have an old degree in electronics - but you are a bigot and it clouds your view of the world. ALL EDUCATION HAS APPLICATION. You are just too bigoted to see it.
EDIT: You literally made a 17 minute video on "Conspiracy Genderless Future". You also made multiple comments that it was an FBI agent pretending to be a Trump supporter in the plane. Im telling you now as a decent human being and someone who has to put people back together after psychological trauma - you need to stop going down this rabbit hole of conspiracy and hatred.
I will tell you where this all ends. It ends with your family disowning you, you losing your job for being a weirdo, it possibly ends with you being arrested for doing something dodgy - the police and the FBI don't LIKE people with electronic knowledge and crackpot ideas, this usually has bad endings.
You are heading down a very bad rabbit hole that never ends well for anyone who goes down it. There is not great conspiracy - its "systems evolution" - tens of millions of vested interests all pushing in the same direction - the evolution of global systems.
I'm being nice to you now, cos your channel throws up like 20 massive red flags. If you keep going down this path, you will die regretting it.

@nrsrymj Well thank you. And my point is - whilst these parents are simply grotesque in their negligence - just putting them in prison and calling it "mission accomplished" and moving on - its accomplishing nothing.
Im British, I live in Bulgaria, Britain is nearly as bad as the US. I travelled in 55 countries before deciding to settle down in Bulgaria, I chose Bulgaria cos it has the nicest society. It took me 10 years to realise that the way they devote so much of society's time, money and effort to children and the fact it has the nicest society of any country I had visited were directly related to each other.
Children literally are the future of any society, if you abuse them as a society, if you fail to nurture them, you end up with a messed up society in 20 years.
Children are society's responsibility. If you want to live in a nice society you as a person and as a society have to invest time and effort in the children and that costs money and it damages the GDP in the short term.
20 years ago Id have been the person arguing against this telling me Im an idiot - but Ive lived in both societies, and only one WORKS...!!!
Bringing up kids is hard and its too big of a job for 2 people, even 2 well paid well meaning well educated people. And for a significant portion of society its completely beyond them, but that neglected problem kid just grows up to be a dangerous problem adult...

America will not go to war with Iran, America, can't win a war with Iran, America, can't afford a wall with Iran.
Afghanistan, sure, you don't have to win the war with america, you only have to wait for the American people to get sick of paying for the war as they always do - then they leave, and you have de facto won. Afghanistan cost $1 trillion, Iran will cost $15-$30 trillion, and America simply can't afford that.

@lauralishes1 HAHAHAHAHHAHAH QUOTE " These people are saying "they shouldn't have the right to speak"" YES and that is their RIGHT under your constitution to say that.
They have the RIGHT to call for these people to be silenced and SORRY, but they have a constitutional right to call for that and to protest to get that.
Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, and I'm sorry, but calling for another person to be silenced, is just exercising your freedom of speech, no matter how hypocritical it might be. Let's be realistic hypocrisy is the foundation upon which the right when is built.
" ridiculous statements like there's no such thing as biological sex " No one is saying that - you dont know the difference between sex and gender
"Seriously I'm not even a conservative," but you are arent you? Maybe not a foaming at the mouth rabies infected MAGA but you no ones Marxest, you are to the right of the political spectrum.
THE PROBLEM WITH AMERICA is for all your endless banging on about the freedom of speech, almost none of you actually understand the fundamentals of freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech is the right to say a thing, and not be stopped, or imprisoned by the government for saying, with limited exceptions for the direct incitement to violence or endangerment.

@TheNewsInASL You could not be more wrong - end-stage capitalism is why your country is collapsing. Am3ric4 will NOT BE a capitalist country in 50 years.
You cant build anything, you cant make anything, everything is financialised and collapsing, Beoiing cant even make planes it is that corrupted and hyper-financialised - yet you NEED planes, but if you bail Beoing out [and yes it is going to go bankrupt] they will just use the money for stock buy backs and dividends.
But you still need planes - so they will have to be nationalised - and this is the fate of every Am3ric4n corporation - monopoly, hyper financialisation, incompetence, collapse, nationalisation - so by an organic collapse of end-stage capitalism you WILL become a type of communist economy.
You see the problem is you stopped educating people in 1983. so you think "Capitalism, not Communism, is the answer." is an acceptable answer to a vastly complicated question - and that is why you are collapsing.

@CJM6 Not "self disciplined" selfish. not " independent of society" uncaring of society. I know you don't possess the neurons in your brain to perceive the world as others do and you see yourselves as good people, but you're not. Its literally been proven in experiments and f-MRI scans. Let me help, though your nature is to dismiss this because it does not comport with your view of the world so it MUST be wrong.
The Child In The Well Experiment
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.
~~~~~~~~~~~
These are your people, these are the "responsible" "self disciplined" people, you dont miss the job interview cos a kid fell down a well - that would be irresponsible. And from an evolutionary standpoint - YOU were the ones that fled and did not defend the village when attacked [ independent of society REMEMBER] and wiped out and YOU survived and the village lived on. YOU HAD [past tense] and evolutionary role. Today YOU are just terrible human beings.
independent of society
independent of society
independent of society
independent of society
independent of society
To you its a virtue, actually its one of the worst things a human being can be...
Please dont tell me the thing you are going to tell me, I dont expect you to take a single word in, your brian is not made that way.

@maxfastest - I was born into a very impoverished family in the UK. We went to school in trash bags too poor to afford coats. I bought into all the BS that being a success was the only thing in life that mattered and if I achieved that I would be happy.
In 2014 I was worth €6 million - but I wasn't happy and I was working 15 hours a day, I naturally assumed it was because I was not rich ENOUGH
Then in that year I was mugged for my Rolex Daytona watch and suffered brain damage. 18 months later I was bankrupt and homeless.
I got things together enough to get a small - completely empty apartment - 1 has 1 chair, 1 coffee table, a computer and my dog. 1 knife, 1 fork, 1 plate.
At first I felt incredibly ashamed and embarrassed by my poverty, but as time end by I started to ENJOY the emptiness, enjoy the simplicity, I mean I was broke as hell, but I didnt hate it any longer.
Things got a little easier when I published a book about my experiences and about $600 a month started to come in, this is in Bulgaria, so its more than $600 would buy you in the USA but bot not a lot. A shop assistant would earn that part time...
I would never have given up the money because my brain was incapable of even entertaining the possibility that money was not the solution.
I bought a Mercedes CL500 and it kept me happy for 3 months before I wanted a Bentley and then I was miserable for 6 months cos the Mercedes was not a Bentley - If I only had a Bentley I would be happy...
Our minds are programmed from birth to believe that if we only had the next thing "we would be happy".
Once you have your basic needs, no amount of "stuff" is going to make you happy once the novelty wears off - if a $140,000 Mercedes only makes you happy for 3 months - you are screwed...
EDIT: The mistake poor people make is assuming they will get the same or more joy from buying an expensive thing as a rich person as they do now with anything as a poor person. The joy a poor person experiences at getting - say a new iPhone is immeasurable. And let them have their bit of joy. But a rich person can afford pretty much anything so nothing has meaning.
Ferrari has worked this out - they won't just sell you a Ferrari new. You have to PROVE you are an enthusiast to buy one, you have to have owned a few 2nd hand Ferraris before they will sell you a new one. A rich person gets 1/10th the joy from a $140k Mercedes as a poor person gets from a new iPhone.
In reality its like buying an apple to a rich person - so being rich is almost poitless.

@jimmccullough1937 - Ill pay attention to what I want. Jack sh!t you can do about it.
"We have guns here. So what" so 40,000 of you die each year. 40,000 of your fellow Americans - but "so what" hey, you dont care, they are not you - right?
"A small percentage fall into the wrong hands and make news." 324 mass shooting this year alone in the USA. 40,000 dead last year - a small percentage
"You can't control Crazy" you LITERALLY can control crazy, its not a "crazy" problem - its a broken collapsing society problem. This is the list of contributing factors to societal collapse:
Plague / disease Yes
Environmental change Y
Massive wealth inequality Y
Loss of the administrative class Y
The government stops governing Y
Attack from the outside - now includes cyber attack Y
Loss of faith in the political system Y
Economic collapse Y
Exposed obvious corruption Y
Crumbling infrastructure Y
Mismanagement of a crisis Y
Societal division Y
Loss of belief in the unity of the society Y
Restriction of international trade / loss of trade agreements Y
Increased isolationism Y
Rising internal violence Y
Excessive spending on military / arms race Y
Inability to maintain the currency - hoarding / devaluation / inflation Y
If a majority of things on the list happen to a civilisation simultaneously, it is invariably the end for that civilisation. If all happen at the same time, it's guaranteed to be the end. The USSR collapsed with 9 out of the 18.
America scores 18/18. And you have reached "cascading interconnected systems failure" - everything is broken and everything you need to fix it is also broken.
The only question left is can you MANAGE the collapse? Will it be like the end of the British Empire - or Yugoslavia 1992 with way more guns.
---§---
Suck it up buttercup - the empire is over, this is what collapse looks like.
" the minute you are threatened by another European neighbor, here comes all the scary Americans" - 75 years ago dude, you have not won a war for 75 years, you have LOST every war since the 2nd world war.

@billthecook4357 Bill - I listen to so much total bullsh!t from people on YouTube comments, honestly no one has got closer to the truth of the situation than you have. I get to spend 8 hours a day for 3 years thinking about this and calling it work, I understand that most people can't have an in-depth understanding, they have not got the time. But it does distress me how wide of the mark the vast majority of people are. Here is another chapter, but you know it already, sorry its a bit long.
IS CIVILISATION COLLAPSING?
‘Whether we like it or not, change comes. And the greater the resistance, the greater the pain.’
Alan Watts
YES, civilisation is collapsing. At least in the U.S.A. and the UK, and in the west more generally.
That is a bit depressing. Not the best way to start a book. But I'm not trying to make you happy. I'm trying to give you the tools to cope with what is happening. And denying the reality of what is happening is, as we have discussed, NOT a coping strategy!
Denying the reality of what is happening is what gets most people into most of the serious trouble in their lives: not opening that stack of overdue bills because it’s just too depressing to face, not calling the car finance company when you can’t make a payment because you just can’t face it.
So, we have to first acknowledge the reality we are living in. And that reality is:
Life in the U.S.A. and the UK will never be the same again.
Everyone will have to cope with a new reality. A reality of life in a declining country.
And this happens. The Roman Empire collapsed. The USSR collapsed. The British Empire collapsed. And people lived through it.
And so will you!
Will you have to adapt? YES.
But that is largely the point of this book. Change is not in its self a ‘bad thing’, it’s just ‘a thing’.
It’s only bad when you cannot cope with it. And the first way people fail to cope with change is by denying it’s happening until it is too late and requires drastic upheaval in their lives.
The classic example is the failing small business.
First it’s a ‘bad week’, then it’s a ‘bad month’, then it’s a ‘bad patch’, then it’s a ‘bit worrying’, then it’s a ‘maybe we need to do more marketing’, then it’s ‘we have to think about cutting down spending’, then it’s ‘we really need to cut down on our spending’, and then it’s ‘we need to take drastic action!’
Then it’s bankruptcy a year or 18 months after the first red flags that something was wrong.
Over 25 years in business, I have watched this happen to people’s businesses time after time, even my own in the early days. Until I learned the lesson.
Everyone says the same, ‘we didn't act quick enough’, ‘we thought we were doing enough’, ‘we thought we had cut our spending down to nothing - but we were still spending hand over fist on things we did not need…!’
Humans deny realities they do not like.
They bury their head in the sand and hope for the best. When they should be preparing for the new reality.
Accepting the reality of your situation allows you to prepare for it physically, prepare for it financially, prepare for it mentally, and prepare for it emotionally.
So, let's have a look at the situation in the U.S.A. today from an historical perspective. Why do civilisations collapse?
Looking at all the historical analysis I can find and watching a lot of YouTube videos (when you are an author, watching YouTube videos counts as work), listening to podcasts and reading books, I have come up with this list of contributing factors to societal collapse:
Plague / disease
Environmental change
Massive wealth inequality
Loss of the administrative class
The government stops governing
Attack from the outside - now includes cyber attack
Loss of faith in the political system
Economic collapse
Exposed obvious corruption
Crumbling infrastructure
Mismanagement of a crisis
Societal division
Loss of belief in the unity of the society
Restriction of international trade / loss of trade agreements
Increased isolationism
Rising internal violence
Excessive spending on military / arms race
Inability to maintain the currency - hoarding / devaluation / hyper inflation
If a majority of things on the list happen to a civilisation simultaneously, it is invariably the end for that civilisation.
As I write this in May 2022, we can safely tick most, if not all, of these boxes for the U.S.A. and the UK.
If you live outside the U.S.A. and the UK, don't think you are getting off Scott free. Take a look at the list again. Most western countries tick off a good number of the collapse criterion.
I doubt many people would argue the U.S.A. is in a more perilous position right now, but everyone has a right to be worried about the future at the moment. You are not being paranoid. You have reason to worry.
Just because you are not living in the U.S.A. or the UK does not mean this book is irrelevant to you. This book is relevant to you if you are worried about your future.
Your society may not collapse, the U.S.A. may not collapse, I may be completely wrong. It only matters if you FEEL like the society around you is collapsing and you are having difficulty with that. Because at the end of the day, the universe is nothing but your perception of it and the feelings that engenders in you.
If you feel like the world is collapsing around you and you cannot cope - your world is collapsing. And that is all that counts.
---§---
Change is not the problem, its people's inability to cope with the change that is the problem. Clinging onto a past that no longer exists...

@newsbender "The UK to start recovering?" you mean - it will, but its a long time off - I wrote this the other day:
38% of all public buildings are past end of life with 3% more every year - thats £1.5 Trillion over the next 10 years - budget £0
Roads - in my sister's tiny North Yorkshire council area they audited the roads - £1.1 Billion to repair them. 636 "councils" in the UK so that’s £700 Billion
THEN you have sewage systems - 1 sewer in London cost £5 billion - so what £250 billion
Electricity - MOD - Trains - that's going to be £1 trillion
This lot comes to about £4 trillion JUST TO REPAIR THE BROKEN STUFF - not to build anything new, not to build any social housing, not to pay for a green transition or an AI revolution making 30% of people redundant, not to sort the NHS
---!---
There will come a point, and not just in the Uk, the U5A as well, where the need for things to WORK outweighs the need to give companies and billionaires tax cuts - not even billionaires want to live in a broken society where nothing functions.
People think Am3ric4 is ahead of the UK now, they have overtaken the Uk - this is NOT true. its simply that the path we are all following leads down the hill of collapse and the UK is STILL ahead, the US is 30 years behind on the collapse.
BUT reality will have to be faced - Ireland has worked out that they CANT actually have a functioning society and charge global corporations 10% Tax to move there...
A reckoning is coming, a realignment of taxation back to the 1950's levens is coming and then recovery can start. If people don't have any money - they cant BUY things.

@Rose-hx9vk - Exactly - I did not say "all republicans are bad people" - Not ALL republicans are bad people. But the Republican party has a near-monopoly on truly bad people. Its self selecting. And its NOT just the Republican party. The right-wing party in any country has a near-monopoly of terrible people. There is even an experiment that proves this.
The Child In The Well Experiment
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority - close to 90% - of these that don't react are right wing to far right wing in their political views.
---§---
A sociopath, a narcissist, a psychopath is hardly likely to be drawn to the "let's be nice to everyone" party are they???

@Rose-hx9vk - No you have been extremely polite, exemplary. If I am a little short and snappy please forgive me. I am 250 miles south west of Odessa - the scene of some of the worst fighting in Ukraine; life is incredibly stressful here at the moment.
NO high taxes are not the answer, they are PART of the answer - but you actually mentioned the answer in your reply. EDUCATION. Almost ALL problems in society can be solved with education. And if you want to rob a society you first have to make it dumb.
I wrote this a few weeks ago:
In the late 1970's and early 80's computers became a thing and you could process lots of statistical data for the first time. And the political parties did... The data showed the GOP they would be demographic-ed out of existence in a couple of decades. It also showed the GOP that stupid badly educated people - amazingly - voted for them. Voted AGAINST their own interests, as blue-collar workers and for the GOP.
So the GOP started to breed their own supporters. They systematically defunded education - in 1976 education was 5.7% of GDP. In 1983 it was 3.4% Some of the specific changes they made were to STOP teaching critical thinking skills, skills that ALLOW people to spot a lie. And it was wildly
successful. America now has an uneducated subclass of 35% idiots and it is enough to swing elections.
BTW - I dont blame the Republicans. Its the GOP's job to move towards fascism and the Democrat's job to move towards socialism and its each other's job to stop it from happening. The Democrats totally sold out the working people of America and allowed the GOP to move so far to the right they have essentially lost their minds.
Its the Democrats that failed America and allowed this to happen by being pathetically weak sellouts.
---§---
I am - for want of a better phrase - a communist. I arrived in Bulgaria a foaming at the mouth capitalist and made millions of dollars selling Bulgarian cosmetics to people in America. But I was not happy, what is the point of a system that takes the money needed to live from thousands and gives it ot a few who dont need it and it does not even make them happy...
I suffered brain damage in a mugging and lost everything - I was homeless for a while and learned to live on next to nothing, I was way happier than I was when rich. I realised what people need is rich fulfilling lives not rich with money lives.
It was the fruit trees that made me a communist - everyone in my city gets 4 months of limitless FREE FRUIT cos there are thousands of fruit trees. Why - free fruit for the people and I thought OH MY GOD, you can actually design and build a society FOR THE PEOPLE...
You dont have to build it for profit, there IS a different way to do it.
So Im not a "Tanki" I don't want Soviet era communism, but I want a society that is built for THE PEOPLE, and one that does not rely on endless growth that the planet can not sustain - that would be good.
Sorry for the long posts.

@Rose-hx9vk - The Russian army is so totally hollowed out by corruption that it is utterly collapsing. One of the most visible examples are the tires on the truck, they are a Chinese FAKE version of a Michelin tire and they are no more than a movie prop. They will last a maximum of a month on the road and an hour off-road before they explode. There are videos of trucks driving along with the 4 back tires ALL blown out. Apparently, the Chinese fake version costs $500 and the original Michelin version $15,000 - the $14,500 difference paid for some oligarchs yacht.
For the first time today, I had a tiny hope that Russia might just straight up LOSE the war.
Tomorrow I am taking about 6 big bags of clothes and blankets to the Red Cross for the refugees that are starting to arrive in our city now.
Education - my education was based on critical thinking. We had to work everything out from first principles. At the beginning of the pandemic, I started a university degree on Ancient Chinese Philosophy. It was entirely geared around you passing the exam at the end of each week NOT on understanding or learning about philosophy. AT the end of the first year I had passed the exams but I knew nothing so I gave up - I was not interested in a certificate, I w3anted to UNDERSTAND Chinese philosophy and that is not what the course was about.
Communism - when you talk to people who lived under communism, its not so much an extreme political ideology as we see it in the west. Its a different way of structuring society. Where I live in Bulgaria, most people want to go back to communism who lived under it. In Romania next door it was a living hell. Communism wasn't a monoblock like we think of it, it was very varied. some places were really really good and others were like prison camps.
We were only told the prison camp version.
Emotionally Weak - hahahha - people see the fight and the courage of the Ukrainians and they are shocked, Im not. We had 100% mask compliance here, no one complained, no one protested, no one got their feelings hurt, no one has a months-long tantrum and I am sure it was the same in Ukraine. People in the west have had so little REAL to complain about for so long [as a society] that they fixate on the tiny things like having to wear a mask. Its the end of the world. After the USSR collapsed people starved to death in Eastern Europe - that was only 30 years ago. My friend Gia was sex trafficked by the Mafia in 2005, she escaped.
No one here complained about having to wear a mask.

@DJWeiWei OK - quick answers as I have to go out
"And a totalitarian state that suppresses free thought can never compete with the academic institutions of free nations." - er China - You have to remember that we see the world very much through western industrialised eyes.
The world has always been a Chinese world until the industrial revolution. 1000 years before America was a thing - the Chinese were publishing books of building codes. If you look at our history it goes really old stuff, industrial revolution, empires, us today. If you looked from space it would go China China China China China China China China China China China China China China China China industrial revolution empires, us today, China.
And its always been authoritarian. But knowledge is part of their religion whereas profit is our religion.
"6 and one half dozen of the other." Id agree a damaged tree falls down in a gale - but it WAS the gale that blew it down.
"Also growth does not require population growth" Id argue that its a vicious spiral and not a one way street. But "growth" might now need population growth but our specific form of buy now pay later capitalism very much does.
"Capitalism is looked as one thing" I TOTALLY AGREE. I wote this a few months ago:
"the problem is the UK is collapsing and NO ONE has a way of stopping it. The reason they dont have a way of stopping it is because its unstoppable. This is why they are trying ever more desperate options. Hyper-individualism has removed collective power from the people and the vast transfer of wealth to the top has destroyed the system. The top is only interested in protecting its wealth. The bottom has no collective power. Everyone knows the system is utterly broken and no one has any idea what will replace it. So it lurches from one crisis to the next. Im a Labour supporter but it wont be any different under labour, just less vicious. Systems evolution has created a block of hyper-rich at the top that the entire system protects. They own the media, the internet access, the housing stock, the farms, the banks, everything. All with the purpose of protecting their wealth. Its not a conspiracy - its systems evolution - all systems eventually organise to protect and replicate. The evolution of capitalism has reached its "population explosion of rabbets in a field" point. collapse is not only inevitable, unavoidable - its happening now."
"we don't have to make it only serve the rich as we tend to do IMHO." I 100% AGREE - but I would argue that capitalism TENDS towards this as the people with money accumulate more money and therefore more power and they use that to acquire more money an power. I would argue that if you run a computer simulation of capitalism 999/1000 it end up here.
Karm Marx identified the problem 150 years ago and the way of stopping it - ABOLISH INHERITANCE. when you die all your wealth goes to the government and is distributed each year among the population. The fun bit is - the average person who would object would be WAY better off.
If you have a £400k house you are leaving to your 2 kids - they would get something like £500k each over their life under this system. Passing massive generational wealth to your kids is what allows capitalism to collapse - the 1/1000 where it doesn't is where they abolish inheritance.
OK - not so short, as I say this is my pet subject...

Sorry dude, Trump is going to prison. And when I say sorry - I REALLY mean sorry cos I bet my American friend £1000 back in 2020 that he would never "see the inside of a jail cell." But Ive lost that bet, I thought your country was way more corrupt than it is wiht rich old white men. But nope you screwed me over.
And I have accepted my loss and now I just want to get it over as quickly as possible - stick him in jail for a day next week and I can pay the £1000 and be done with it. Instead of waiting for another 2 years to find out I lost. Cos I will lose.
Trump will go to prison. Thats whY i know the odds...

@lw1zfog - Capitalism is fundamentally incapable of solving climate change, it would have to destroy its self to do so - so it won't. So there will be a colossal climate catastrophe and some form of hybrid socialism, collectivisation brought in too late to solve the problem, society will collapse globally. MIT just confirmed civilisation is on track to collapse fully by 2040 just a few months ago.
SO - "the end of all privately owned property, universal basic income, the end of private transport, owning cars, the end of private farms and grazing livestock, the end of single family homes" would be a start to the introduction of some form of hybrid socialism, collectivisation which COULD prevent the climate catastrophe if introduced soon enough.
The best-case realistic scenario is capitalism fails to tackle climate change, but technology advances incredibly quickly - we realise we are screwed and hand over management of the earth to artificial intelligence tasked with saving the human race.

@tomnorton7910 This is a sample unedited chapter:
LONELINESS
‘Loneliness is not the lack of company in one’s life. It is the lack of meaning in one’s life. People merely distract us from ourselves.’
[redacted]
People distract us from the lack of meaning in our life. They entertain us, they annoy us, they make us laugh, most of all they distract us. They distract us from the emptiness inside of us.
The absence of people in life does not make us lonely. The awareness of our own emptiness is what makes us lonely.
If we fill that void with meaning, with purpose, with life, we will never be lonely. We can take the company of good people. We can walk away from toxic people, not needing their company, not exposing our happiness to their pollutants in order to not feel alone.
When we feel bad about ourselves, when we have low self-esteem, when we have a lack of meaning in our lives, when we don't know who we are; we are desperate to be distracted from ourselves and made feel happy. Even if that ‘happy’ is just not feeling bad about ourselves.
Often it’s better to be annoyed by someone else than depressed about ourselves.
This is why people getting out of abusive relationships are notorious for jumping straight back into obviously unsuitable relationships. A friend of mine in Utah, America, just told me a story of two friends. Both recently out of abusive relationships, both getting married again to people they have been dating for less than three months.
One of them openly admits the partner they are marrying is financially abusive and takes advantage of them.
But being taken advantage of financially, and all the misery that brings, is better to a lot of people than sitting alone and feeling empty and without purpose. It is better than feeling ‘lonely’.
And it’s a quick fix to find an unsuitable partner. A lot quicker than filling your life with purpose and meaning. With the added advantage you can blame the partner for all the problems and misery in your life.
So, as long as you don't actually care about your happiness, it’s a real ‘win - win’.
But assuming you do care about your long-term happiness, well it’s probably best to find some meaning in life.
People with rich, fulfilling lives, full of meaning and purpose are never lonely, neither do they shun company, but they are equanimous. They can take it or leave it. They can appreciate the benefits, the joy even, of being alone. They can appreciate the beauty of silence.

@mac23806 - You dont have to be a sheep to love the Apple ecosystem. I dont have to do ANYTHING for all m,y devices to be completely in synch with each other. I can start an article on my iMac and then work on it on my iPod on the train to an appointment, then take pictures wiht my phone, insert them on my iPad into the article, get back home and finish it off on my computer and then listen to it on my iPhone as I walk my dog - AND I DONT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING to make all of that happen.
I never have to know where a document is, its always just there when I need it, on whatever device I want it. I can go into the time machine and pull up an article I deleted 2 years ago, copy the bit I want and insert it into my current document.
You are not a SHEEP for wanting an ecosystem that JUST WORKS and you dont need to know anything about computers to make it work. I have not pressed Ctrl Alt Del or screamed at a computer in 30 years since I switched to Apple.
BUT the price you pay for that is becoming unacceptable for many people. Paying $3k for a computer is a price we have elected to pay for the astonishing level of convenience and seamless interconnectedness, but the inability to have it repaired or even upgraded is pushing many to reconsider, but then we look at how sh!t the alternatives are i.e. NO ECOSYSTERN at all and a million apps and programs that DONT talk to each other unless you force them and we realise "I can spend the rest of my life screaming at my electronics, OR I can put up with Applers abuse"
Apple don't get away with the abuse cos their users are sheep - they get away with the abuse cos the alternatives are unbelevably sh!t

@scurra1163 - Yeah nice try but you just scream insecurity and bitter resentment in every syllable you write. I got your motivation correct and you and I know it.
"'now you cant hate her cos she is massively left wing ' This one get's me. Why would I even remotely care? " cos if I had not clarified that you would have gone on a 1000-word rant about it - yes you are THAT transparent - I literally put in a pre-emptive block on that cos I didn't want to read it.
"The 'good old days' is almost always BS, no matter whose ideology is being discussed." and your evidence for this is...??? OH, your opinion, sorry thats not a valid argument.
"and as the generation that built the current system might have regrets at screwing it up, doesn't mean there recollections were correct. Just because the current system is corrupt or ineffective(and largely their generation's fault)" oh look scream insecurity and bitter resentment in every syllable
"You also make MASSIVE leaps of logic in your thoughts on my motivation" - yes I do - but Im right though, aren't I? You have no secure job, no prospects of buying a decent house, having kids will be a massive stretch is not an impossibility, university will bankrupt you - and you know what? EDIT: I don't think you are aware of just how astonishingly transparent you are.
YOU ARE 100% RIGHT TO BE P!SSED you got totally screwed over and lied to and it is completely unfair.
But don't tell me I don't know what I am doing or talking about. Cos you and me both know I do, and that's why you are so shouty cos truth hurts.
The bottom line is - on the whole LIFE WAS BETTER for the people who say life was better in the good old days. BECAUSE life in the USA was better for young people of their demographic in the 1950's 60's and 70's. It just wasn't better for everyone, and thats the bit they forget.
Anyone involved in the war effort that was white - they got an interest-free mortgage on a new house, you are going to remember that very fondly - but ONLY if you were white...
They are NOT excessively romanticising their lives - they are just missing their massive privilege...

@lamaahruloma4270 - You are one of the few people who has replied with a reasonably accurate description of what I have learned from hundreds of interviews.
The control, the paranoia and the lack of freedom were the things that people hated most - as far as I can tell. The lack of shiny consumer goods is not something people tend to mention, thats a thing we in the west obsessed about cos we had them and that is how WE measured success. People miss the lack of stress and worry, the knowledge they would have a job and a house next month no matter what. They also miss the community and feeling that everyone was connected and part of the same - everyone hated the government, you and your neighbour hated the government. Now you and you neighbour have different political views and hate each other...
There is a LOT of solace to be gained from having a united enemy you all hate.
As a westerner I came here expecting people to universally hate it, I believe the propaganda of the west, never even knew it was propaganda, I thought it was truth. I was incredibly surprised to find people with happy stories and many fond memories. I was even more shocked to find many people wishing to return to socialism - not to the USSR, they are not [not all anyway] Tankies - but many of them dont like democracy they feel it has turned neighbour against neighbour and pushed the job of making decisions onto them.
The variety and complexity is what caused me to start recording these stories - you have to be careful. There is no point in getting a story from an ex-party member, its not going to be a tru reflection of life under communism. Equally, people who wanted to flee cos they hated it, their stories are unreliable. You need the stories of the vast majority - those who just lived from day to day.
And that is the point most people miss. The vast majority complained about communism in the same way that most Americans complain about their government, its what people do, but they didn't hate it enough to ever think of leaving.
The other thing people in the west get wrong is it was NOT a monolith - it was very varied from country to country and even town to town and job to job. Saying "what was life like under communism" is an unanswerable question - what is life like under capitalism? Depends who you are, who your family is, what city you live in and what country...
QUOTE "you can get a better house in communism, but you must give something in exchange" Yes I think the going rate is about $1 million in the west...

@SonicPhonic - I absolutely cold not agree more. Personally, I think life under the USSR's communism would be absolutely horrible. I am not an advocate for Stalin in any way shape or form. Im just playing devil's advocate an pointing out to people that the idea we were fed in the west that life was universally hellish and everyone wanted to leave is simply not true, that was propaganda.
I was astonished when I arrived in 2009 from the Uk as a foaming-at-the-mouth business-owning capitalist to find that NO, a lot of people liked communism and wanted to return to it as an economic model. [NO they dont want to return to 1975, they are not idiots, they want to return to a socialist economic model but in 2023]
There is absolutely NO doubt the 40 to 50 million killed by Mao were actually killed BY Mao, he was offered help by the USSR to feed them and turned it down, he is responsible. Very personally responsible, but Im not entirely sure the communist economic SYSTEM was directly responsible, he made very very very bad decisions...
We dont blame Hitlers genocide on Capitalism do we? YET capitalism - specifically greedy American bankers and the Wall St collapse of 1929 is what brought Hitler to power, he ran on a platform of "the establishment sold you out to the American [J] Bankers and you lost your savings and the communists are coming to take your house off you - vote for me! It was very very specifically capitalism that created Hitler and we don't blame capitalism for the holocaust.
Quarter of a billion people have died under "capitalist" famines yet we dont label them "Capitalist famines" its just a Famine - there is one in Africa now, no one is calling out the world bank [capitalist] for killing people yet we blame the Soviet famines on communism.
Im not a Tanki - if "Stalin 2.0" came to power here I would leave immediately. But we need, as a species, to move on from capitalism to a more sustainable and equitable, fairer economic model. What Aron Bastani calls "Fully Automated Luxury Communism"

@63ah1275 I grew up very poor in the noth of Thatchers Britain, going to school in black trash bags too poor to afford a coat. By 2014 I was worth €6 million, had a cosmetics company in Bulgaria, several house apartments and villas but I was not happy, and I was slowly turning into a douchebag, I didn't mean to, but your friends turn into parasites, and the other rich people are all douchebags and yu have the money to just throw at any situation and make it go away.
Then I suffered brain damage in a mugging and lost everything. Became homeless and bankrupt. With the help of the cleaners at a $5 a night motel I got an apartment, at first I was embarrassed and ashamed of the fact it was completely empty and literally the worst block in the city, but slowly I started to like the simplicity.
I never tried to rebuild my wealth - it never actually made me happy after the novelty wore off, and I can clearly see it was turning me into a BAD person.
I admire those who get money and stay normal, I thought I would be that person - I wasn't. Money opens a door to a life without consequences, it takes a LOT not to step through that door, it starts with little things like parking illegally cos you just pay the ticket and grows from there.
Im 53 now and "retired" I live a very tiny minimalist life next to the beach in a communist-era apartment block in Bulgaria - and for the first time in my life I am truly happy, I want for nothing...
GHave a nice day my freind.

@kollyoenchev5587 Thank you - a couple of points you mention I would like to comment on. I ONLY know Bulgarian people - I dont associate with Brits over here въпреки че българският ми е много лош. I don't know ANYONE on minimum wage, I also don't know anyone with a mortgage, so most people have OK lives. They are definitely nothing like as stressed about money as my friends in the UK.
BUT I live in Burgas which is quite cosmopolitan, so this is not necessarily representative of the whole country.
"In conclusion - I think we are moving forward the right way." I absolutely agree - I think Bulgaria is doing a very good job of modernising without AMERICANISING and I think ths is a very good thing. The UK tried to be a carbon copy of America and it has worked out very badly for them.
I think the best thing Bulgaria does is look after the children and young families. Again I can not speak nationally, but in Burgas kids under school age get food delivered to the door every day, kids get free school meals, schools are small and distributed so kids can all walk to school, the 3 age groups are next to each other so the older kids can walk the younger ones to school, there is a ratio of 1 child psychologist to every 300 kids in a school, kids learn to drive in little electric cars on proper road layouts from 5yr so they are good citizens on the road when they get a car, many schools have dorms for the kids to sta couple of nights a week to give the parents a break, almost every apartment block has a playground within 50 yards for the kids and they are in good condition, the old people look after the kids after work, no one uses child care here, leaving your kid in storage with a stranger whilst yo work is essentially considered child abuse here.
OH and you get [nearly] 2 years parental leave from work when you have a kid and university is very affordable.
Bulgaria seems to realise that children LITERALLY are the future and not an impediment to you working 60 hours a week - as they are seen in the USA and the UK

@bobfisher1916 QUOTE "I guess freedom is not an absolute. " YES this is something I have come to learn. Many here in Bulgaria regard democracy as an imposition. They have to watch the news, follow politics, make a decision and like the world over politicians are corrupt - but you get shamed if you don't vote. To us it a sacred cow democracy, many here don't see it that way.
The children here are also wonderful as you describe, they all learn English at school, which is great cos I am very bad at being able to learn languages despite great effots.
And children here are taught to socialise, not to run away from strangers, children are societies responsibility and it is as much MY job to keep an eye on the kids as it is the parents - no one pays for child care, the kids come home from school and people just look after them. Its part of life.
And they invest in education as well here, the schools are super local to allow the kids to walk to school.
I don't have children, but the way children are treated here dramatically improves the quality of my daily life.
I honestly did not know children found be nice until I moved here...

@mcarpenter2917 Yes but you will have to dig for it. "Andrew D. Huberman is an American neuroscientist and associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School" has a podcast, he has several that tackle ADHD and in one of them he cited the paper that has this research in it.
"suspect the massive increase of cases is just a medicalization of childhood" this is definitely a factor. there is a huge amount of evidence that behavioural problems and mental health problems expend to fill the diagnosis created for them in the DSM-5. Personally, I hate the DSM-5 with a passion - I believe it to be a tool of the American pharma industry to prescribe expensive drugs and nothing more...
In the 1800 ADHD did not exist - why? 1) there was no diagnosis for it for starters 2) a kid with lots of energy was given a hammer and told to bang out horse shoes for a few hours, they were lauded as a great worker 3) almost all mental health problems are actually a "inability to fit in with desired socially expected behaviour" so ADHD was NOT a thing before you expected kids to sit at a desk all day in school, as soon as you did - you had "ADHD" . Interestingly - here in Bulgaria the kids do exercises in the sun outside every morning before class, to work off some of that energy and allow them to sit still...
So I would argue, as would Huberman, that ADHD in kids is not really a "thing".
HOWEVER, my comment was "You are 700% MORE likely to have ADHD as an adult if you are a gamer in your teens" the inability to concentrate and have a decent attention span as an adult is a genuine problem in modern society. Is it an illness - in my opinion no, its a dopamine receptor downregulation problem. This is why gaming is so problematic, its FREE unearned dopamine...

@mcarpenter2917 - You can never show causation in a sociological study cos you can never control for all variables, so any study of this kind is a correlation.
"I'd bet you'd also find a negative correlation with family wealth" I have absolutely no information on this, I have read/listened to hundreds of papers on ADHD and i can't recall anyone studying this.
"My theory is, if you give children shitty childhoods you end up with shitty adults." 100% - 100,000% YES. Im British, i now live in Bulgaria, the amount of effort, money and time society here puts into children is unbelievable to a British person. They consider putting your kid in child care to be akin to child abuse here. If your child is under school age they deliver hot fresh food to your door every day. You get 2 years of maternity leave if you have a kid. Children are society's responsibility, not just the parents, you take your toddler with you to the gym the receptionist will look after them.
When you ask them about it the standard reply is along the lines of "if you abuse the children, you don't look after them - you end up with a sick and twisted society in 20, 30 years"
Having lived here 13 years i now 100% agree "if you give children shitty childhoods you end up with shitty adults."

@andrewillsley6595 - Im sorry - you can think i am rude as hell if you want - But I just don't have time to go through hundreds of pages of handwritten notes to find the reference to a single study. I'm not writing a book about gaming, its a tiny side note.
but lets be clear - I never said computer gaming causes ADHD. What causes ADHD is having a dopamine regulation/sensitivity problem. ADHD is a behaviour. That behaviour is a dopamine-seeking behaviour. For whatever reason, the brain has either a lack of dopamine OR an insensitivity to dopamine. Almost always the latter.
The running around, the jumping from one thing to the next, the arguing, the thrill-seeking, the doom scrolling, the playing games - all of these are dopamine-providing activities.
If you give that person dopamine they will calm down, cos they have the dopamine they need. You can administer this dopamine by giving them the precursor - Levodopa, by giving them amphetamine like Ritalin, or by letting them play Call of Duty.
So - computer games do NOT cause ADHD, but what they do is they re-enforce this dopamine downregulation cycle. The more dopamine you have, the less sensitive to dopp[amine your brain becomes, the more you need dopamine. And they are a very strong re-enforcer of this vicious cycle.
"The dopamine Paradox" is the more you have ADHD, the worse the problem, the less likely you are to be able to control the problem. Cos the way you control ADHD most effectively is TO LIVE A VERY BORING LIFE.
You need to reset your dopamine receptors. Im not writing a book on the science of the neurological system, Im writing a behavioural handbook to managing ADHD in adults.
QUOTE: (that would only work if they were not hyper to begin with and then you gave them computer games- after a perod of time on games- they then became hyper) - they literally do, and that period of time is over months and years the free [or none traditionally obtained] dopamine downregulates the receptors and makes them more hyper on the long timescale. Thats the point.
The easiest way to "cure" ADHD is to lock someone in a cabin in the woods for 2 months with no electronics or anything - not even electric light. They get up when the sun comes up, they are bored all day long and they go to bed when the sun goes down. A tiny number this will not help - and they have a dopamine PRODUCTION problem, but this is very rare.
OK - I have to work now. Bye.

@donaldthustra_2997 "Engels". HAHAHAHHHAH. You know a word. HHAHAHAHHA.
It always astonished me when people find it hard to believe you're an author. In 2014 before an accident, I was worth €6 million, no one ever has any problem believing that. I think its becasye people can imagine themselves being rich, indeed they often do imagine themselves being rich in their fantasies. But losers cant imagine sitting down for 5 hours a day, 6 days a week for a year, 18 months, maybe 2 years ad WRITING, for no pay, in the hope that your contribution will be seen as worthwhile and people will buy it.
They can imagine their fantasy, but they cant imagine showing dedication and hard work. They KNOW that's beyond them, when the irony is - you can write a book, just do it. But you won't, you can't, you are trapped in the prison of mediocracy inside your own mind.

@joonzville This is a section of a chapter of my latest book, its aimed at disaffected desperate men in America, who tend to be right-wing and conservative and not read books so its has sold terribly. Which I knew it would, but the suicide rates are so horrific I had to make an effort. The problem is, you cant address the fundamental problems and NOT sound like a "leftie". [it is specifically written in an unintellectual manner]
"HE’S NOT A LEFTIE - HE’S A VERY NAUGHTY BOY!
I'm very conscious that I might come across like a raging ‘leftie’ and that may put people off me and this book, deny them the help this book may offer them and politics is not my agenda here, so I want to address this issue head on.
If you are a hard-core right-wing Trump supporter, I don't care. You are a human being who wants the same as I do – a half decent life, the ability to feel safe and secure, be able to look after your family and provide for them, earn a decent living, save a bit of money, and not struggle every damn day of your life. You are no different to me, or to any person reading this book, it's what all humans want.
I don't believe in ‘left’ or ‘right’, these are labels put on people and ideas to ‘other’ and to ‘divide’. I'm not a ‘leftie’, I'm a person who has experienced a hell of a lot in life from extreme poverty and homelessness to literal millions £$€, and I’ve had the time to deeply reflect on it and this leads me to certain conclusions and insights that OTHER PEOPLE may have labelled as ‘left’.
And this is how academia gets labelled as ‘Leftist’.
In the same way it’s almost impossible to spend three years writing a book and not come up with something profound, it’s almost impossible to spend a life in academic study and thought and not arrive at a perspective that people have labelled ‘left wing’, unless financial interests induce you to lie about it.
The reason being, that the capitalist status quo wants one thing, the continuation of the status quo in all its inequitable and destructive murderous horror (we call this right wing) and everyone who has the time to think deeply enough to get past the propaganda, realises the same self-evident truths.
Believing that a system so obviously broken, as this one, needs replacing with a better, more equitable, more inclusive system, is NOT ‘left wing’:
it’s HUMANITARIAN!
I'm not ‘left wing’, academia is not ‘left win’, it’s just that given enough time and thought about the problems of society, everyone ends up coalescing around roughly the same ideas. These ideas are dangerous to the status quo so they are labelled, and demonised."

@Ajs_1988 " the UK will be fine". NO you wont be - you are in what is called "Sigmoid Collapse" and you have another 10 to 15 years - you are in the USSR / Russia 1994 moment of your collapse and you have a long way to go.
I'm an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations - the UK is in the worst of all possible worlds. You have entered Interconnected Cascading System Failure" - everything is broken and everything you need to fix it is also broken.
You can not even begin to drag yourselves out of this, you cant invest cos the Tories spaffed your entire available national debt up the wall. Literally, NOTHING works, your roads are crumbling, you cant build a railway, you have sh!t in your rivers, you don't even own your utilities, you make nothing, you rely on the finance industry which is A) leaving and B) what got you into this sh!t in the first place - it will just devour you cos it is predatory by its very nature.
Im British, my pension is in the UK, but I am buying gold every month cos I do not expect to have ANYTHING from the UK when I reach 65 in 10 years.
The UK's best option are to join BRICS+ and get BRICS Development fund money but the USA will probably block that and IMF money is a death sentence to countries, its just America buying up your natural resources on the chap and the UK has none except the NHS - so an IMF bailout will be in exchange for selling the NHS to American companies.
THAT is your future - sorry - if you can get out GET OUT and definitely if you have kids get them out of the UK.
'the UK will be fine. We always are .. remember". you always had something to sell - council houses, industries, north sea oil, ALL GONE.

@pincermovement72 "The agreement was that Germany..." Thats nonsense - its how it worked out for sure, but it was not pre-agreed.
"London and the south east did well the rest of the country withered on the vine . " Thats absolutely 100% correct.
"We need to return to a state where everyone benefits not just some toffs in London ." which is NOT going to happen cos money = power so the power is in London and they dont want less money.
The Resolution Foundation just released an AMAZING report on the 4th Dec - I absolutely suggest you look it up and read the summary. Here are the 10 key findings:
A Stagnation Nation in 10 key facts
1. Low growth: Real wages grew by 33 per cent a decade from 1970 to 2007, but have flatlined since, costing the average worker £10,700 per year in lost wage growth.
2. High inequality: Income inequality in the UK is higher than any other large European country.
3. The toxic combination: Low growth and high inequality means typical households in Britain are 9 per cent poorer than their French counterparts, while our low-income families are 27 per cent poorer.
4. Stalled progress: 9 million young workers have never worked in an economy with sustained average wage rises, and millennials are half as likely to own a home, and twice as likely to rent privately, as their parents’ generation.
5. Talent wasted: Almost a third of young people in the UK are not undertaking any education by age 18 – compared to just one in five in France and Germany. wwwwwwwwwwwwwww
6. Gaping gaps: Income per person in the richest local authority – Kensington and Chelsea (£52,500) – was over four times that of the poorest – Nottingham (£11,700) – in 2019.
7. Bad work: Half of shift workers in Britain receive less than a week’s notice of their working hours or schedules.
8. Flaky firms: UK companies have invested 20 per cent less than those
in the US, France and Germany since 2005, placing Britain in the bottom
10 per cent of OECD countries, and costing the economy 4 per cent of GDP.
9. Taxes up: Having averaged 33 per
cent of GDP in the first two decades
of this century, the tax take is now on course to rise over 4 percentage points by 2027-28: equivalent to £4,200 per household.x
10. The wrong track: Six in ten Britons think the country is heading in the wrong direction, with far fewer – just one in six – thinking it is on the right track.
And these are their recommendations - sadly they wont be implemented cos it involves taxing the rich and the wealthy and investing in places other than London on a VAST scale, we might get £3 billion for M<anchaster but they are talking about hundreds of billions
Ending Stagnation in 10 key steps
1. A services superpower: Britain must build on its strengths as the second biggest services exporter in the world, behind only the US, while protecting the place of its high value manufacturing in European supply chains.
2. Our second cities are too big to fail: Our cities should be centres for Britain’s thriving high-value service industries. But instead, all England’s biggest cities outside London have productivity levels below the national average.
3. Investing in our future, not living off our past: Public investment in the average OECD country is nearly 50 per cent higher than in the UK. Tackling
this legacy, alongside the net zero transition, requires public investment to rise to 3 per cent of GDP.
4. Pressure from above and below: British managers too rarely invest for the long-term. Pressure for change should come from more engaged owners – a smaller number of far larger pensions funds – and from workers on boards.
5. Good work in every town: Despite the success of the minimum wage, a good work agenda cannot be a one-trick pony. Statutory Sick Pay can leave the ill on just £44 a week, while 900,000 workers miss out on paid holiday.
6. Steering change: Hospitality represents a higher share of consumption in the
UK than anywhere else in Europe, because it is relatively cheap. Better pay for low earners in hospitality, paid for by higher prices that most affect better off households, will create a more equal UK.
7. Recoupling everyone to rising prosperity: Benefit levels have not kept pace with prices: cuts since 2010 have reduced the incomes of the poor by almost £3,000 a year. Shared prosperity means benefits rising with wages.
8. Better, not just higher, taxes: A rising tax burden should not just fall on earnings, but should be shouldered by other sources of income and wealth. Wealth has risen from three to over seven times national income since the 1980s.
9. Resilient public and private finances: Higher growth and higher taxes are needed to raise investment, rescue public services, and repair public finances. Higher investment should be funded by higher savings at home, not borrowing from abroad.
10. Exploiting catch-up potential: If the UK matched the average income and inequality of Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the Netherlands, the typical household would be £8,300 better off.

As a European its easy to be smug about Americans - but in all honesty you have a totally different level of idiot to us.
For starters, about 25% of our population are idiots, its about 35% in the USA, and thats worrying cos they can swing elections. But its the quality of the idiot you have, they are simply ASTONISHING, if there was an Olympics for idiots you guys would take every single medal. They are so astonishingly dum8 and so incredibly proud of their idiocy.
And then - the other 65% of you are TOTALLY normal, rational, intelligent people. It's like you took a normal country of 300 million and added 30 million incredibly confident IQ80 people to it.
"The Great Replacement Theory"is correct, you are being replace, but not with immigrants, with idiots

@bargdaffy1535 where I live, the mayor elections are just coming out, so we got a glossy brochure as to what the current mayor has done. In my small city in Europe, where we have buried powerlines, we have a new science University, obviously free, a new archaeology university, obviously free, three new hospitals to add to our 21 older hospitals OBVIOUSLY FREE. 10 new schools, 4 new retirement homes obviously free, 114,000 old people and kids under school age get subsidised meals delivered to their homes every day. Our amazing bus service is now fully converted over to battery-electric that charges from solar, its 60 US cents for the day no matter how many busses or how far you go.
Out income tax is 10% flat rate.
ITS AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN HAVE IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR A MASSIVE MILITARY AND $8 TRILLION ON A WAR IN AFGHANISTAN...
Your question was "And you are going to pay for all of this?" the answer is NO - no one is going to pay for it cos you are about to start another war in the middle east and that will need paying for. You can't have nice things in your country because you spend all of your money on your war's and military

leon draisaitl stop looking to be offended on behalf of other people you. You live in a land of s(ummy immigrants, we scraped up all the criminals, religious nut jobs, crackpots, mentally ill, prostitutes, and anyone else we didn't want in our society, and we put them on ships and sent them to America 300 years ago. I don't discriminate between any of you, you're all immigrants except the Native Americans who you slaughtered.
I think you're all scum - you let your children be slaughtered in mass shootings and you do absolutely nothing about it.
I'm not bigoted against a Mexican, who has 1000 times more right to be there than any none native American, but I am bigoted against dimwits, who think they can solve problems with guns.

YOU are not allowed nice things - I live in a 15 minute city in the EU - ITS AMAZING I save €10,000 a year not needing a car. everything I need for day-to-day life including schools, doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, council offices, dog park, free gyms, swimming pool, park, playgrounds for the kids is within 1km of my apartment.
The city centre bus is every 7 minutes - battery electric - costs £0.60p for the whole day no matter how many busses I get.
YOU have too many idiots to be allowed nice things like 15 minute cities.

@shmuelsegev2065 and they probably will, because they are obviously genocidal and involved in ethnic cleansing. But this will drag Iran and Hezbollah into the fight. America will not fight Iran, America cannot beat Iran. Iran can not beat America but a draw is as good as a win if you remove the target country from the map, and that is what would happen to Israel in this scenario.
Hamas are playing a zero-sum game. America lost in Vietnam because the Americans were prepared to kill to win the war. The Vietnamese were prepared to die, and to sacrifice their children and parents to win the war. Hamas and the Palestinians are the same as the Vietnamese, Israel has given them nothing to live for and everything to die for...
There are two ways this ends. 1 the world imposes a peace settlement without regard to the feelings of either party. 2 it becomes a semi-global war, and the target country ceases to exist, millions, die, and the American arms manufacturers, make billions of profits.
Im an, author on psychology, and the collapse of civilisations, I am 75% sure it will be option number two.

OK - I have good news for you in a weird way. You think its all starting to collapse, but actually, the Am3ric4n empire has ended. Im not sure when but about 4 or 5 years ago is my guess. Pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal was a big moment, Biden stealing Russias $USD forex reserve was definitely a massive event. Anyway - collapses usually last 15 to 20 years before they bottom out and the green shoots of recovery start.
You FEEL like maybe in 5 years things will start to collapse but actually, you are 5 year INTO the process already, so you only have 10 to 15 years to go before recovery starts - and it WILL start, it always does.
So set your stall out - no spending for the next 10 years - drive an old VW Deisel and keep it maintained, dont take any credit, buy second hand, make friends with neighbours, grow vegetables if you have a garden, if you have 1st floor doors and windows get bars on them.
I live in Bulgaria now - they went through it here after the USSR collapsed and they got through it - so will you.

@acetorres8787 - OH MY GOD YOU IMPRESS ME SO MCUH. Dude, I sold a company in 2015 for $6 million cos I hated the job. I now write books and work for free helping victims of abuse.
So even if you are NOT lying out of your ass, you don't even come close to impressing me, i see you as a sad individual who does a terribly boring job cos they live in the consumer society that defines you by what you earn and what you possess.
But on the grounds that 120,000 is a number and NOT an amount of anything - $120,000 is an AMOUNT of money and I would kinda expect a professional ACCOUNTANT to know the difference....!!!
AND you are bragging about what your WIFE does, which is tragically sad especially what you are not even bragging in English about your wife. "And my wife [IS] an MD"
GREAT your wife is an MD with terribly low standards in men. She probably had a terrible childhood, I deal with this in my clients every day.
$120,000 a year as an accountant and a with that is an MD - OR NOT, either way, you are a tragic joke of an excuse for a human being.
You see the problem with dumb people, is they THINK they are the same as intelligent people, but they are not. they did not have the education, they don't know the rules people have to live by in professional circles. Like "you absolutely never quote a quantity without the units".
So, you are either a very VERY bad accountant or a liar.

@FromAllowed2Aloud - Please stop giving badly targeted unqualified psychological assessments and advice to people on the internet. Again, please print out this entire conversation - all of it and take it to your therapist and ask for their advice.
I made a crass fat joke and you have dedicated 12 long paragraphs to Psudo psychological analysis and bad advice. If you want to have a go at me for the fat joke - FEEL FREE, I have no issue with that.
But stop trying to psycho analyse people and give unsolicited advice - you are patently not qualified. You have wasted literally hours of your time writing this nonsense. I won't tell you to get help as I'm sure you already have help, now use that help, take them this bizarre conversation, show them, accept the help they offer and please LEAVE ME ALONE.
Our conversation is over. I will consider any further lecture harassment and report them as such.
EDIT: The hysterical part of this is, you have a video on your playlist that I wrote the script for. Now stop using your pop psychology knowledge gained from YouTube videos and Facebook to wrongly diagnose people on the internet.
You think you are clever and insightful, you are not, you are dangerously ill-informed and while you are an irritation to me, there are vulnerable people out there who will be traumatised by your relentless hounding and psychological badgering. You have no idea if I am a suicidal teenager or a 70-year-old millionaire.
Other people's minds are not your toy to play with while you grope your way through the field of amateur psychology.

BESPOKE TAILOR HERE this is what you do - BUY SECOND HAND - it is self-selecting for quality. IF a garment is good enough to be sold after being worn and washed several times - its quality. literally everyone I know, every client I have buys second hand.
2nd thing - get ALL your clothes altered to fit you perfectly be a local seamstress, they exist you just have to find them. Rich people don't look rich cos their clothes are expensive - they look rich cos their clothes FIT. BTW - its way easier to make a too large fit than a too small fit so buy oversised
3rd thing - NATURAL FIBERS - wool, linen, silk, cotton, and I would include viscose / rayon. Two reasons - synthetic fibres are PLASTIC you are wrapping your body in PLASTIC and it leaches hormone-mimicking chemicals into your body which is BAD. But it is not as durable, it does not breathe with your body, its just bad.
4th thing - buys style not fashion - fashion changes, style is eternal. I have 50 year old jackets that get compliments every time I wear them.
5th thing - REPAIR YOUR CLOTHES - or get your seamstress to repair them - if they are altering your clothes to fit there will be a little extra fabric in the seams they have taken in - this can be used for repairs...!!!
6th thing - You. want to get to a point where your annual spending on clothes is NILL - you have everything, its well maintained, its quality so when you come to buy a new pair of trousers you CAN spend $800 having them made by a tailor cos that's the only thing you are buying this year. Or $500 on a nad knitted sweater, or $1,100 on a Rick Owens peace you love.
Hope this was helpful
PLEASE STOP buying fast fashion. PLEASE.

@wobblywally-0 - Im not blaming him. He was viciously smeared by all the media. He was a man OUT of time. Today he would win a LANDSLIDE. The UK WANTS a JC now. It WANTS nationalisation, it WANTS the right for employees to buy the company, etc etc.
Starmer would probably have won the 2019 election and JC would DEFINITELY win the next one.
But that's life, he is the ex-leader, people need to move on with what they have NOW. I bought a house for £30k in 1990, I literally gave it away to my ex GF to get rid of her - it sold earlier this year for £270k. OH HOW I WISH I had kept the house, but I didnt, its bitter history, you have to move on, I cant live in a house I dont own, and the left cant elect JC no matter how much they are hurt by the injustice of it...
He was a terrible campaigner up against the best campaigner the UK has seen since Blair...
The left wing hate Starmer so much for replacing their messiah that many of them literally want him to lose the next election... Thats the part I have a problem with.

LONELINESS by me
‘Loneliness is not the lack of company in one’s life. It is the lack of meaning in one’s life. People merely distract us from ourselves.’
[redacted]
People distract us from the lack of meaning in our life. They entertain us, they annoy us, they make us laugh, most of all they distract us. They distract us from the emptiness inside of us.
The absence of people in life does not make us lonely. The awareness of our own emptiness is what makes us lonely.
If we fill that void with meaning, with purpose, with life, we will never be lonely. We can take the company of good people. We can walk away from toxic people, not needing their company, not exposing our happiness to their pollutants in order to not feel alone.
When we feel bad about ourselves, when we have low self-esteem, when we have a lack of meaning in our lives, when we don't know who we are; we are desperate to be distracted from ourselves and made feel happy. Even if that ‘happy’ is just not feeling bad about ourselves.
Often it’s better to be annoyed by someone else than depressed about ourselves.
This is why people getting out of abusive relationships are notorious for jumping straight back into obviously unsuitable relationships. A friend of mine in Utah, America, just told me a story of two friends. Both recently out of abusive relationships, both getting married again to people they have been dating for less than three months.
One of them openly admits the partner they are marrying is financially abusive and takes advantage of them.
But being taken advantage of financially, and all the misery that brings, is better to a lot of people than sitting alone and feeling empty and without purpose. It is better than feeling ‘lonely’.
And it’s a quick fix to find an unsuitable partner. A lot quicker than filling your life with purpose and meaning. With the added advantage you can blame the partner for all the problems and misery in your life.
So, as long as you don't actually care about your happiness, it’s a real ‘win - win’.
But assuming you do care about your long-term happiness, well it’s probably best to find some meaning in life.
People with rich, fulfilling lives, full of meaning and purpose are never lonely, neither do they shun company, but they are equanimous. They can take it or leave it. They can appreciate the benefits, the joy even, of being alone. They can appreciate the beauty of silence.

@chrism7969 Most of the people I know or have spoken to are Chinese, but they are not in business. They are either academics or just workers/artisans. I suppose like all countries - experiences may vary.
My next book is to be an ironic look at the UK taken to its natural conclusion. Its called 1930 as a working title. The UK has voted to leave the modern world and indeed time - it will live forever in 1930 with steam trains and compulsery cricket on Sundays. The population is divided into the descendants of those who owned rental property in 2020 and through a logical extension of the system now own ALL property and the rest of society who are born into serfdom of a 200 year rental contract.
Meanwhile, America has become "The United Corporations Of America" where slavery is legal again in the anarco-capitalist hell hole and the rest of the world is run by China where everything works perfectly, they have solved climate change and nuclear fusion, cities are perfect, no one wants for anything BUT every minute of your day is controlled by the system. It tells you when to walk, where to go, what to eat, it organises meetings with your friends, tells you when to go to the gym, everything. Its all done for maximum health and happiness - but you have zero say in your life.
The book is MOSTLY about the UK the rest is background. But the basic concept is what is freedom - each of the three societies thinks they have freedom. Brexit style freedom, for the UK, capitalist freedom for America and freedom from work and worry for the rest of the Chinese world.

@markbetschart1363 - Well I also wrote this:
GEN Z
America and the UK will collapse; I am sorry to say. But they will be rebuilt and in a better and more equitable and more sustainable way. Im an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations. Gen Z are an astonishing generation; they are more creative than even the 60's generation. They are more organised than any generation in history. They have no more love of technology than they do a paintbrush or a wrench, they have little interest in consumerism. They know its THEIR literal future on the line and they are prepared to fight. They have grown up in terror of their own futures and they WILL leave a better one for their kids.
The world Gen Z build will be an amazing one.
How do Beau and I stay positive - we have a circular view of time, not a linear one. Civilisations, societies, empires, cities, towns, and humans live in cycles. they don't END. They transition to another time, collapse is followed by rebuilding and prosperity. I now live in Bulgaria - an ex communist country. The communist era was NOT the bad time. The collapse at the end of communism was the bad time 1995 to 2005, it was hell on earth here. Not its super positive, people are happy, its still very poor - but $$$ really dont make happiness, its attitude and that feeling you get living in a vibrant society. sure being broke is harder than being wealthy. But being depressed is a choice, it really is.
So you have a national collapse, a national malaise, a depression, but its transitional and it will be re built. One of the things that the ex communist countries are working very hard at doing is NOT replicating the mistakes the west has made. and that is what Gen Z will do they will rebuild, they will move AWAY from the mistakes of the est AND they will look at the ex communist countries and avoid the mistakes THEY made.
Its really all just circles within circles of time.
The Blue Oyster Cult sang a song about it
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
Circles of time - no need to fear the reaper...

@markbetschart1363 - YES I think it is a huge factor - and I think we will act too late. But I do think we will act. I think there is a significant chance that we will hand the job of world government over to Ai. I'm not joking. We will call it AI ADVISORY ROLE or something, but when we are staring down the barrel of extinction the need to survive will kick and and we will start to take radical action. This is another thing I wrote.
COMMUNISM IN 50 YEARS
Well like it or hate it you WILL live in some form of communist state in the next 50 years. Capitalism is FUNDAMENTALLY flawed, I dont mean it has its problems. I mean the very basic concept is self cannibalising. Problem No1. Capitalism is a funnel. It funnels wealth from the bottom to the top - it also funnels power from the bottom to the top cos money = power. For capitalism to be stable you have to TAX the top heavily and move the money back down to the bottom JUST to keep the system functioning.
Rich powerful people DO NOT like being taxed. And as capitalism INEVITABLY produces rich powerful people who control media and politicians they get their way. This hoovers all the money out of the working class, then you give them credit - they sell their future work, and then they are EMPTY. But for capitalism to continue it NEEDS MONEY - so the middle class are the next to go - and you can see this in the USA and the UK - it is eating the middle class. It also starts to eat the state, private prisons, private education etc etc...
Ultimately there is NO MONEY left in the system - that has already happened the FED in America si literally printing money to keep the system working.
So capitalism HAS TO COLLAPSE. It is 100% inevitable from the very start of the system. And people predicted this 150 and 200 years ago.
Problem 2. Capitalism HAS to GROW to exist. it is NOT a static model. It has to grow by about 3% each year to continue. That is a DOUBLING of the world economy every 27 years. The earth is at 130% of capacity now. WE CAN NOT extract 260% per year of the earth capacity in another 27 years - its not possible to live on that planet.
SO. A static zero growth economic model is required, a model that removes the profit motive is required [to long to explain why] is required and due to AI a UBI is required - the only economic model we have that allows the earth to survive and people to eat is a communism based model.
It wont be Stalin's Russia, it will be some hybrid modernised version. But YOU WILL LIVE under a communist economic model if you live another 50 years.
I was listening to a very clever few people on a podcast this morning - they were discussing "Climate Reparations" and ""lifestyle reduction" for western countries and whichever way you analyse this - we either die off as a species or we do these things. Its only hard cos we are taught that MONEY = HAPPINESS well if thats the case why are so many people in western countries so unbelievably depressed???
Who tells you that MONEY = HAPPINESS - the capitalists, the 1% who are addicted to money and power.
Being poor makes you miserable but being rich does not make you happy - I know. I was worth $6 million in 2015 and I was deeply unhappy [I suffered brain damage in a mugging and lost everything - best thing that ever happened to me].
We HAVE to build an enlightened world or we all die - and the basic instinct of life is to live at all costs. In 2015 with brain damage and my company bankrupt I tried to kill myself. I hanged myself and as soon as I kicked the ladder away and I was swinging on that rope I wanted to live like never before. A literal basic instinct to live. I managed to get a foot on the ladder and I lived - you may have noticed...
100% of people who jump of buildings hit the floor regretful - I can guarantee you this.
Life wants to live so faced wiht extinction we will change society - but I have reasonable confidence that by then, Gen Z will be in charge. Gen Z are the most powerful generation in history cos they are the FIRST totally interconnected generation and they can grant or withhold their votes en masse and that voting block is big enough to win any election for any party. Once they work this out they have the power - and they will work it out, cos they are very clever very organised people...
Just look at how they trolled that Trump rally - imagine that in a national scale at a presidential election...

I tailor bespoke historical suits for men 1890 - 1930. This is my advice, the second you make a mistake STOP, go do something else for 5 or 10 minutes. 90% of damage comes from trying to undo a mistake in a bad mood.
BASTE EVERYTHING, the difference between a amature and a professional is the amount of basting stitch you pull out.
Matching a striped fabric I will pin it, then hand baste it, then check that if its good enough I will machine baste it, check that, then I will sew alongside the machine baste 0.5mm to the outside, then check that and then pull out the other baste and immediately press the seam open.
Use a sharp owl to position your fabric, put it into the start position and then advance the fabric with it until it drops into the needle hole, then lower your needle to get the start point EXACT.
When you get to the end, use the own to mark the end of the stitch line, it will leave a tiny dent in the fabric to indicate the endpoint.
Press EVERY seam as you sew it, not in a batch after you sew, every sean when you sew. Pres flat, then press open, then turn and with a cloth on top press the right side, go sew your next seam.

@frog6054 - Ill certainly try. I am an author on this subject, here are some short chapters from my next book, I hope they help.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ‘BAD THING’
‘Reality is created in our mind, we change our mind and we change our reality.’
Plato
I want you to understand this very deep truth.
Life does not dole out good or bad things to you. The things that happen to you are neither good or bad, they are just EVENTS.
It is YOU that decides to attach a label and an emotion to them.
‘I was evicted from my apartment and lost everything….’
OR
‘I was given a clean slate to start again in life with none of the trappings that reminded me of the abuse from my ex….’
Both are true, true for me. It actually happened to me – I was evicted from my apartment because my landlord bribed a judge to get a ruling in the two weeks I was in hospital. That sort of thing happens here in Bulgaria.
But only one of these perspectives allowed me to rebuild myself after severe narcissistic abuse, to learn to live an incredibly minimalistic and spiritual life free of material trappings. Only one allowed me to move on to a new and incredibly happy life. Only one was exactly the gift I needed form the universe to save me from my very materialistic self.
There is no such thing as a bad experience - only the wrong perspective!
So, the U.S.A. is in decline, your society is in decline, life will be different. Possibly very different, but how you choose to interpret that is entirely up to you!
The emotions you attach to that, they are entirely up to you.
The emotions you attach to each news story, they are up to you.
The labels you give to each event in your life, they are up to you.
I am equanimous about all events now, nothing phases me. They are just events.
I have brain damage and forget many things. I forget the coffee pot and boil it dry; I clean it and have a shiny clean coffee pot fifteen minutes later. I take joy in the shiny coffee pot and never give a second’s thought to the burnt remains I had to scrape out.
---§---
READ PHILOSOPHY & QUOTATIONS
‘I haven't learned how to confront a problem by avoiding it.’
Brian Spellman
I grew up thinking philosophy was stupid. I thought it was a pointless thing that people with brains too big, parents too rich and egos too inflated told themselves was a ‘profession’. This is one of the things I was most wrong about in life, the other one is YouTube.
Philosophy is one of the highest achievements of humanity, one of the most important disciplines we have, it is the window into the core of the human experience.
‘Too lazy to be ambitious, I let the world take care of itself. Ten days’ worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace. Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment? Listening to the night rain on my roof, I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.’
Ryōkan
Just reading philosophy, even if you don't understand all if it or even agree with it, will lower your stress levels and calm you.
‘All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.’
Blaise Pascal
Philosophy is the S Class Mercedes of the soul.
In an S Class Mercedes, your heart beats an average of 6 bpm slower than any other car. For where other cars strive to be exiting, or luxurious, or the ultimate driving experience, Mercedes invest all their effort into making the S Class relaxing to drive. And being German, they achieve this. With infinite precision.
You don't have to understand the S Class to be calmed by it, you don't even have to like the S Class to be calmed by it, you just have to experience the S Class to be calmed and soothed by it.
And philosophy is the same.
We have actually used philosophy already in this book, at the very beginning. We used the Stoic Philosophy of, ‘what is the worst that can happen?’
We assumed the worst that could happen was that society would collapse and it would collapse quickly, and now we are working on coping with that. Once we have all the tools in place, we will cope with that, easily. And actually, that worst case is really quite unlikely to happen, possibly only a ten percent chance, but we are prepared for it, should it happen.
And that is straight out of Marcus Aurelius Meditations On Stoicism.
It is called Amor fati, a Latin phrase that may be translated as ‘love of fate’ or ‘love of one's fate’. It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary.
And believe it or not, a very significant proportion of what is in this book has its foundations in philosophy.
Everything I have learned through 35 years of having life kick the shit out of me could have been learned as a 15-year-old by reading philosophy. Only it took 35 years of having the shit kicked out of me by life to think that reading philosophy might be a good idea…and there is the rub.
Philosophy is not for namby pamby liberal elites on university campuses. It is for everyone. I mean everyone.
My uncle is a rough a**ed farmer from the North Yorkshire Moors in England. He has read more philosophy than I likely ever will. It is what he credits with saving him from blowing his brains out with the shotgun when coping with a wife who spends three times what the farm earns, and a son who can’t plough a straight furrow because he got in a 4.00am drunk (as he does most days of the week), and regularly puts the tractor through a dry stone wall because he fell asleep again.
The philosophical works I especially recommend are:
Tao Ta Ching - Taoism
Which can be summed up as ‘Meh, why bother?’
Marcus Aurelius Meditations - Stoicism
Which can be summed up as ‘Meh, why care?’
I would defiantly get the new translation of Marcus Aurelius Meditations On Stoicism:
ISBN-13: 978-0812968255
ISBN-10: 9780812968255
And the Tao Ta Ching - Taoism is available in app form and these can be quite good as they have several translations. Yes, translations make a difference especially as the Tao Ta Ching was written in Chinese and many concepts do not directly translate. But this is a good thing, each translation will give you a different insight into the work.
Alternatively, you can listen to them on audiobook FREE by searching for these videos on YouTube.
By the way, I always suggest YouTube because it is universally FREE to everyone. I know it is not as convenient as a podcast or a streaming service sometimes, but they are not usually available FREE world wide - YouTube is.
---§---
And I would defiantly search YouTube for the audiobook of Marcus Aurelius "Marcus Aurelius - Meditations - (Audiobook)" the channel is "Vox Stoica"
I hope this is of help to you. :-D

@spookystorytime2774 - thats cos you live in a sh!t hole. Within 1000m of my home I have the beach [wind surfing, paragliding, diving], the sea, the freshwater lakes [fishing], the district centre, my local high street, every shop I need for life, about 40 restaurants, 40 bars, a free gym, 4 other gyms, a swimming pool, the schools, the doctors, the hospital, the council building, the pharmacy, multiple playgrounds, a small meadow, a small wood, all my friends, a coffee shop that roasts their own coffee beans in the back, 3 stationery / art supply shops, there is literally NOTHING I need for day to day enjoyment of life that I can not get within a 1km circle of my home.
The only reason I need to go out of that is the very occasional speciality item OR to go visit another place and I have traveled in 55 countries n my life so I have seen enough.
If YOU enjoyed your life within 1000m of your home, you would not leave that area. You leave it because you DONT enjoy your life within 1000m of your home. Im no different to you, I like to enjoy life, Im just way luckier than you that I get to do all that enjoyment within 1000m radius of my home.

@73151cb - HI. WOW a philosophy teacher. I'm not a scientist - as you probably guessed I was joking. I am in fact an author and I just wrote this in my new book "How To Cope In A Collapsing Society" about philosophy - forgive the lack of formatting:
READ PHILOSOPHY & QUOTATIONS
‘I haven't learned how to confront a problem by avoiding it.’
Brian Spellman
I grew up thinking philosophy was stupid. I thought it was a pointless thing that people with brains too big, parents too rich and egos too inflated told themselves was a ‘profession’. This is one of the things I was most wrong about in life, the other one is YouTube.
Philosophy is one of the highest achievements of humanity, one of the most important disciplines we have, it is the window into the core of the human experience.
‘Too lazy to be ambitious, I let the world take care of itself. Ten days’ worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace. Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment? Listening to the night rain on my roof, I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.’
Ryōkan
Just reading philosophy, even if you don't understand all if it or even agree with it, will lower your stress levels and calm you.
‘All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.’
Blaise Pascal
Philosophy is the S Class Mercedes of the soul.
In an S Class Mercedes, your heart beats an average of 6 bpm slower than any other car. For where other cars strive to be exiting, or luxurious, or the ultimate driving experience, Mercedes invest all their effort into making the S Class relaxing to drive. And being German, they achieve this. With infinite precision.
You don't have to understand the S Class to be calmed by it, you don't even have to like the S Class to be calmed by it, you just have to experience the S Class to be calmed and soothed by it.
And philosophy is the same.
Everything I have learned through 35 years of having life kick the shit out of me could have been learned as a 15-year-old by reading philosophy. Only it took 35 years of having the shit kicked out of me by life to think that reading philosophy might be a good idea…and there is the rub.
Philosophy is not for namby pamby liberal elites on university campuses. It is for everyone. I mean everyone.
My uncle is a rough a**ed farmer from the North Yorkshire Moors in England. He has read more philosophy than I likely ever will. It is what he credits with saving him from blowing his brains out with the shotgun when coping with a wife who spends three times what the farm earns, and a son who can’t plough a straight furrow because he got in a 4.00am drunk (as he does most days of the week), and regularly puts the tractor through a dry stone wall because he fell asleep again.

@greatunwashed1856 - OH I know Anderson and Shepherd, I watch Tom Mahon's channel he used to work there and obviously they developed the drape cut, which is incredibly similar to the cuts in the historical books I work from, except A&S use a very minimal canvas don't they, cut on the bias if I remember correctly.
If I am making a 2 or 3-piece suit I make the coat as you say [fronts (foreparts) then put the completed back on , then shoulders,under collar,top collar, finally sleeves,] but looking at the pictures of the old frock coats and my trial and error you have to mount the sleaves before you put the padded lining in...
QUOTE " If you haven’t had a 5 Apprenticeship I think you do dam well being able to do as much as you do,we both know it ain’t easy," The thing I have always been good at in my life is not seeing things as a whole. A suit is a long list of quite simple tasks. Learn to sew a welted pocket, learn to sew a patch pocket, learn to mount a sleeve, learn to press a seam. I started off by making a hat that didn't fit, then a hat that fit, then a pair of trousers, then a waistcoat, then a coat, now a Frock Coat... Its taken me about 4 years.
I would LOVE to do an apprenticeship, the lack of someone to ask is the big problem I have...

@sobeit1927 I have edited my comment as re reading it I had not made it clear - [per capita as it were]. Not in absolute terms, but per vehicle it is 18X more likely to be a petrol car than an EV,.
Now we have to caveat this, America doesn't have an MOT or a technical test, their cars are absolute junk. So I'm sure the figure will be much closer to one-to-one in the EU.
"We do seem to be experiencing a lot of EV fires". I would argue EV fires are just making the news because fossil fuel companies pay for the news in advertisements and therefore call the tune. But EV fires are way more devastating when they happen, and we need to develop ways of dealing with them and ways of preventing them I don't deny that at all..
"regardless of what started the fire , EV’s surely burned out of control". The Swedish Fire Brigade have developed a blanket that you just two men pull over the car leave it for 24 hours, and it smothers the Fire - the idea they create their own. Oxygen is a little bit of a misnomer
QUOTE: The lithium mixed oxides lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) and lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA), which are frequently used as cathode material, can release oxygen because of internal structural rearrangements.\
But we are moving away from cobalt oxide batteries because it's expensive and unethically mined
*I suspect you too are buying into propaganda only from pro EV sources*. NO I am an author, I only work from primary sources, government statistics, et cetera et cetera. I'm the sad guy that actually checked the citations, goes to the original document and read the original document.

@leehorrocks5253 - I should write a short book about my story. Ill summarise. My mate thought it would be funny to send the 1kg of amino acids [we had gone halves on the tub] in the post to me wrapped like a brick of coke from a Miami Vice movie. The post office were suspicious so they called the cops, the cops xrayed the package and it was powder but they NEVER tested it, just assumed it was coke.
So like your mate - 6am they did a sting operation wiht a fake postal worker, smashed down the door like a swat team and 20 officers [unarmed - no guns] burst in.
They handcuffed me to a chair naked.
They searched the house whilst calling me s(um. took me off to the police station and charged me with drug trafficking. The appointed lawyer was amazing. She said TELL THEM NOTHIG, so not speak a word cos they are not here to help you, if they cant get you on this - they will keep talking to you until they get you on something else.
I got home, they had emptied the house of everything worth more than about £100 as "proceeds of crime" so I had no TV, no microwave, no computer NOTHING,
3 months later they had to admit it was amino acids - BUT they had "found" half a tablet of something down the back of the sofa, this was total BS as the sofa was brand new - it had arrived the Tuesday, this was the Saturday. This, according ot the solicitor, was so I could not sue them for wrongful arrest. They cautioned me for this.
AMYWAY my big mistake was laughing at them as they handed me all my stuff back - this made them even ore angry - these guys 100% thought they were getting a promotion out f this "bust"
After that I was pulled by the police every time I left the house, they pulled every friend that came to visit and did them for a cracked light or a worn tire, in the end my friends stopped visiting as they didn't want the agro.
It was a big factor in my decision to leave the UK, not the only one, but a big one.

Im an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations living in Europe. There is absolutely NO mystery why Trump was elected. The working people of America were TOTALLY betrayed by both the GOP and the Dems for 40 years, their jobs sent overseas, their towns abandoned to opium and rust.
Berni Sanders was very clearly the winner of the primary and the corporate POS Dems chated and served up HRH and 50 million forgotten Americans who had got their hopes up for change though F-UK YOU.
Trump lied to them, but at least he did not IGNORE THEM.
He spoke to the working class, HE SPOKE TO THEM, literally, he went and talked to them, it was lies but ti was ATTENTION for the first time in 40 years someone was paying them attention.
There is no mystery at all.
100,000 people in the heart of America died of opium overdoses last year, is it on the news every night "the Opium debate"? like the "Gun debate" NO - cos their lives DONT MATTER to anyone.
Trump supporters are the loneliest people in America BEFORE they became Trump supporters.
The life expectancy of a white male in the Missippie Delta is lower than that of a male in Bangladesh - the poorest part of the Indian subcontinent.
As a country, you have utterly abandoned these people to literally die. The fact "will always be the most perplexing question" for you shows that you have NEVER considered their plight.
The fact you have never considered their plight IS WHY TRUMP WON.

@KrytoRift "Man, it's not an invention." the concept of "Individual Responsibility" is literally an invention of the industrial revolution. It was not even a concept before then.
Also - just for interest - the idea of the "family unit" simply did not exist before the industrial revolution. Society looked after the family as it does where I live now, your children are not YOUR responsibility, they are EVERYONE's responsibility.
If you read Winston Churchill's diaries you will find they are all about "duty" in 1890 to 1940, only when you get into the 50's does he start talking about personal responsibility.
Before Darwin, there was not even the theological framework for "personal responsibility" to exist in, cos we were ALL Gods creatures.
"If I own myself I'm also responsible for my own actions." Again - not really - the idea of free will is pretty murky on many levels from the quantum to the evolutionary biological. Mostly we act on evolutionary biological impulses and then retrospectively justify the action with a logical justification.
If you use F-MRI scans - people choose options BEFORE their brain has engaged the higher logic processes. In the amygdala and brain stem. When you question them they have a fully worked out justification, but we can see that they CHOSE the option and THEN thought of the reason they chose it.
Humans are communal spiritual creatures who behave on impulse, you don't own yourself, you can not survive by your self if left alone in the wilderness you die. You are part of a communal organism, behaving in a way moulded by millennia of evolution to keep that organism alive.

THIS WAS MY COMMENT: EVERY £100 YOU SPEND - 1p GOES TO JEFF BEZOS then the £99.99 is spent and 1p goes to JEFF BEZOS, then the £99.98 ... $35.64, £35.63 ... £0.03, £0.02, £0.01, £0.00
And the problem is - it STAYS THERE. Capitalism is a funnel that moves ALL money to the top, unless you TAX the top and move it to the bottom the system RUNS OUT OF MONEY. And that is where we have got to - quantitive easing - printing money to keep the system working - but that is NOT fixing the problem, it just migrates to the top. --->
We have tried the QE short-term fix and it just made the hyper-rich even richer, we now have a system totally owned by the people we allowed to get hyper-rich and they wont allow politicians to take their vast wealth so the system is literally collapsing.
It emptied out the poor, then the working class and now people care cos its emptying out the middle class. And Im sorry middle class but you didnt give a sh!t when it was working people going to the wall...
The ultimate fate of capitalism is the 2nd richest guy on earth giving his last 1p to the one man who has ALL the global money for some rice.
The time to act was 30 years ago - its too late now, the hyper-rich OWN the system.
----0----
We need a change. If I use the words the comment will get deleted.

@johnsmith8410 QUOTE "In administrative detention, a person is held without trial without having committed an offense, on the grounds that he or she plans to break the law in the future. As this measure is supposed to be preventive, it has no time limit. The person is detained without legal proceedings, by order of the regional military commander, based on classified evidence that is not revealed to them. This leaves the detainees helpless – facing unknown allegations with no way to disprove them, not knowing when they will be released, and without being charged, tried or convicted."
"Israel routinely uses administrative detention and has, over the years, placed thousands of Palestinians behind by bars for periods ranging from several months to several years, without charging them, without telling them what they are accused of, and without disclosing the alleged evidence to them or to their lawyers."

BREXIT DIVIDEND HAHAHAHhahahahahhahah Dude the "Brexit Dividend" is massive inflation, empty shelves, bankrupt businesses, bankrupt farms, bankrupt fishermen...
... Sh!t in the rivers, seas and lakes, rolling back of human rights, protesting being made illegal, MASSIVE corruption, reduced exports, reduced imports, corps rotting in the fields, I can go on and on and on. YOU need to have an election BEFORE more people feel the "Benefits of Brexit" and you NEVER see government again.

@andrewrao634 - This is the UK as an example:
"Since April 2006, judicial appointments have been the responsibility of an independent Judicial Appointments Commission.
Before this appointments were made on the recommendation of the Lord Chancellor, who was a Government Minister. The Lord Chancellor’s Department made its own enquiries as to the most eligible candidates. It was considered that the appointment process was open to the criticism that a member of the government should not have the sole responsibility for appointing judges. It was also considered that judges were appointed in the image of existing judges rather than solely on merit from a pool of widely drawn eligible candidates.
Despite the criticisms levelled at it the former method of appointment in fact worked rather well. Candidates were selected on merit, there was no question of any political consideration being involved, and the Lord Chancellor usually acted on the advice of the senior judiciary, who were in a position to identify able practitioners. Selection was, however as critics pointed out, from a rather narrow pool and this did nothing for the diversity of the judiciary.
It was considered that, while judges should be appointed on merit, if we are to have a judiciary that has the confidence of citizens, it must fairly reflect all sections of society that are in a position to provide candidates of the requisite ability. The new system of selection seeks to encourage such candidates to come forward. All appointments are made by open competition. The Commission recommends candidates to the Lord Chancellor, who has a very limited power of veto. The Commission also has a specific statutory duty to “encourage diversity in the range of persons available for selection for appointments”. In this way it seeks to widen the pool of candidates who are then appointed on merit. There are judges on the Judicial Appointments Commission, but they are not in the majority, do not act in a representative capacity, and the Commission is chaired by a layperson."
---§---
Even under the old system, the Lord Chancellors' role was largely symbolic.
Germany has a slightly more American system in that the appointments are by politicians, but the candidates are selected by an independent judicial body so Kavanagh would never be put forward in Germany. The Politicians get to choose from a selection of qualified vetted sane none alcoholics with no record of sexual assault.

@vintageman9353 1) its a joke 2) kids should go hungry, not be starved - that was a JOKE - but everyone, including kids, should go hungry at least part of the day. And this is partly what is wrong with America, the food is scientifically created to not produce satiation and to endlessly trigger Ghrelin production.
Americans do not know what hunger feels like and their system panics. You are supposed to have a hormonal balance around eating. You have a Ghrelin response to hunger, you eat, you have a satiation response, you digest, you become HUNGRY and that triggers the ghrelin production that triggers hunger.
QUOTE: "Ghrelin - This is a natural response by your body, which tries to protect you from starvation" this has been hijacked by the food companies. So much so that you go on YouTube comments and with no irony say " No kid should ever have to go hungry for any reason"
Healthy kids should go hungry every day. In a normal human, you will NOT eat unless you are hungry.

@Alltime2050 - NOW WE ARE IN 100% ABSOLUTE TOTAL AGREEMENT "What passes for conservatism today is an ancient way of processing thought that helped our species survive..."
ABSOLUTELY and its even deeper than that - everything about them is designed for survival in a very primitive dangerous environment - here is an example from Bejing University:
The Child In The Well Experiment
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.
---§---
These are the conservatives and from an anthropological evolutionary stand point they were useful - they were the ones that ran away when the village got attacked and wiped out 1 in 5 times. they were the ones that stole and hoarded food in the famine so THEY survived. Evolution had a PURPOSE for conservative right wing sociopaths, but technology and human advancement have surpassed the usefulness of the right-wing.
In modern advanced societies they are just HORRIBLE people who don't fit in - and they KNOW they don't fit in and they KNOW we all dislike them and they have no morals so they turn to violence.

@Alltime2050 "Unfortunately, they think their system of belief is the glue holding civilization together. " YEP - I totally agree
"Conservatism might very well have once been a useful tool for human survival but now, it's the greatest threat to the survival of our species in human history." YEP - totally agree...
I wrote this earleir to a guy asking about life in an ex-communist country - it may be interesting in light of this conversation:
I am English LOL. I live in Bulgaria, have done for 14 years. I know a lot of people in Romania.
These two countries are really interesting for the study of communism cos they are the polar opposite - Bulgaria had it very good under communism, on the whole. Romania had the worst of it with the dictator Nicholi Chaushesku. My friend used to get a pigs ear at Christmas to chew on as a treat...
Before Covis I was compiling a book of stories of ordinary people's lives under communism - we only ever hear about the people who left of the people who were persecuted. You never hear the story of Ivan who worked in a radio factory and had 3 kids, a Trabant, a house with no mortgage, food and great health service.
The main thing to know about communism is it was DIFFERENT to the story we are told in the west. We concentrate on the lack of shiny consumer goods, bt thats not the society they were creating, thats the society WE were creating. Its like judging a fish by the length of its legs.
They were genuinely trying to create a society where everyone had what they needed and it was sustainable environmentally and economically. They were NOT trying to build a consumer society cos they KNEW that was unsustainable cos Karl Marx showed that 150 years ago.
The Bulgarian word for stress is стрес - "stress" - they didn't HAVE a word for stress until capitalism so they just used the English word - that tells you a lot I feel.
In the last general election, 75% of people over 65 years old voted for the communist party. Even my friend's in Romania do kind of miss the communist times, everyone was incredibly poor but EVERYONE was incredibly poor and they looked after each other and they miss that... They like the luxuries of the now western life, but they don't like the inequality of the social isolation and stress it brings.
Bulgaria and Romania have the lowest levels of mental health problems in the EU - I firmly believe this is a hang over from the communist days - the way society is structured here is very family / child centric. NOT work or consumer goods centric. The GOOD father is the one who is home ASAP and in the par playing with his kids. The neglectful father is the one working late to pay for the new BMW whilst his kid is with child care.
I hope this gives you a small insight.

@richardc861 This is my guess, and it is a guess. In the last 40 years CNN did 30 articles on industrial automation taking jobs. In the 3 months after Chat GPT launched CNN did 220 articles on AI taking jobs. Because THIS TIME ITS IMPORTANT PEOPLES JOBS, the journalists, the writers, the bankers, the accountants, the solicitors.
AI will render 30% of the population unemployed in 15 years, but its the important 30%, the ones who write the news and enact the legislation so we WILL have some form of UBI.
The cost of doing business will be next to zero for many corporations, we will have to tax them at 80% and pay people a UBI just to make the economy work, let alone the social implications.
And something WILL happen - every revolution in history is started by the lawyers, the solicitors. And AI means they are out of a job.
Im hopeful that the realisation that change is needed will proceed the revolution - but either way - change will come. We wont live in a capitalist society in 25 years, not in the way we know it.

@Captaincool07 I have friends in Am3ric4, they are good people, very down to earth, but they are quite wealthy mostly because they happen to be older. These people are not snobs not out of tough boomers but they just DONT have the problems that I have seen people on the Red Note reaction videos having.
For people under 45 it seems ASTONISHINGLY hard in a way that its just not here. The minimum wage in my city is ~ 1200 leva a month for an 18 year old. A studio apartment is 350 leva, a 3 room apartment is 500, 500Mbps internet is 10 lv, water 10lv, electric 40lv, Unlimited public transport 35 lv. So 600lv you have your accommodation, bills and transport covered. I eat quite expensive food that costs me 280 a month, your income tax will be 120 [10% flat rate] 1000lv leaving you 200 leva for other stuff on minimum wage at 18 OR 350 if you live in a studio apartment.

THE BOOK is called "Restruct" - its on a list of banned books by the Russians - this is the translation of the "OFICIAL" book review I kid you not...
Hello my little extremism lovers! I know roughly what you expect to see in this book. And I'm sure you will see it. But I hasten to assure you, in fact, there is nothing of this in it. The entire book is written from start to finish. Any coincidences with real people and events are either accidental or are the fruit of your mind inflamed by extremism. The author does not agree with a single word written in the book. Moreover, he, just in case, deeply condemns her. She apologizes to everyone whom she will certainly offend. Wouldn't recommend anyone to read the book. Especially - to aggressively minded groups of citizens, including minors. I hope you don't go crazy reading it the way the author went crazy writing it. Living for an Idea is stupidity. You have to live for pleasure. In order to earn more money, buy a car, an apartment, a cottage. Marry and raise a son. Please take this into account before reading further. You must also remember that all people are equal. Prison corrects people and makes them better... What else is there? In short, go to your mother and ask her what is good. That's all and remember. Try not to forget while reading. And then get it out of your head. If it doesn't work, take it as a joke. Do not discuss with anyone - this is a dangerous occupation for the nerves. Appetite may be lost and some antisocial desire may appear. Believe me, life will be much easier for you. The less you know - you sleep better, the less you think - you live longer! what is good. That's all and remember. Try not to forget while reading. And then get it out of your head. If it doesn't work, take it as a joke. Do not discuss with anyone - this is a dangerous occupation for the nerves. Appetite may be lost and some antisocial desire may appear. Believe me, life will be much easier for you. The less you know - you sleep better, the less you think - you live longer! what is good. That's all and remember. Try not to forget while reading. And then get it out of your head. If it doesn't work, take it as a joke. Do not discuss with anyone - this is a dangerous occupation for the nerves. Appetite may be lost and some antisocial desire may appear. Believe me, life will be much easier for you. The less you know - you sleep better, the less you think - you live longer!

@Kaikaikaiaramri dude - stop you are embarrassing yourself - it is infinitely nicer than where you live, sorry, that's just a fact. I live in a medieval / early modern city on a peninsula surrounded by an azure blue sea and golden sandy beaches on 3 sides, Between the sea and the city is the "sea gardens" a 0.5 mile wide park of manicured gardens that encircles the city, the city is entirely walkable and cycalable with no cars in the centre and battery electric busses throuought the city. On hot summer days [100f] the lampposts mist you with water as you walk by, there is free city wide Wifi, a 2 year waiting list for a shop in the city centre
Youtubers come to my city to make hour long walking tour videos...!!!
Our public toilets are like 5* hotel toilets in Am3ric4 - every toilet has its own attendant there all day long to ensure it is spotlessly clean, to look after your bads and coat as you use it.
Our busses have a driver and a conductor who looks after the customers, helps people and and off with bags or baby stroller etc.
The hospitals are distributed so they are convenient - we have 27 hospitals in this city of 250k people and they are ALL FREE.
Im sorry - I don't normally rub it in to Am3ric4ns how and their lives are, its impolite, but you asked for it.

@brucewayneissober6915 You are so DUM8 its astonishing. Cambridge university was founded in 1209AD and literally pre-dates modern English.
YOU could not speak to a person at Cambridge University in 1209
Etimology of the word "woman"
Comes from the early Old English (OE) wif – from the Proto-Germanic wibam – originally denoted a female, and later became the Middle English (ME) wif, wiif, wyf. By 1175 it was starting to be used to mean a married female, with the two meanings coexisting until the late 16th century Another meaning of market trader or saleswoman emerged in the late 14th century, which survives in such sayings as “to swear like a fishwife”.
An OE word for a man was wer – we still see this today in werewolf; wer + wulf (wolf). The word mann, from the Proto-Indo-European root man, tended to be gender neutral, meaning “someone, one, human”. Only after the Norman conquest, in the 11th century, did mann start narrowing to be used more for males, replacing wer by around the late 13th century.
With wif acquiring more specific meanings, the word “woman” was formed by compounding wif + mann. in the 16th century.

Unlike most people you actually ask a good question - why the rush? Cos in the same time this vaccine had been being pushed approximately 30,000 Americans have died from opiate overdoses, approximately 25,000 have talked their own lives and crickets... NOTHING... So it is a very fair question.
The answer is - the economy. The above people are not preventing the economy from working whereas unvaccinated people infecting everyone and making them ill IS hampering the economy. The other one is hospitals - my friend is a manager at the hospital system in Utah, they are at 97% capacity and they are turning away people who are needing help for other things - people are dying of heart attacks, car accidents, other diseases all because people won't get vaccinated. And that is in its self bad, but again these people anot getting treatment - and there are hundreds of thousands of them, they are clogging up the economy.
Now 2 things can be trua at the same time - and this is the case here.
1) the government care way more about the economy that your life
2) the vaccine works, its saves lives [96% of people in ICE in Utah are NOT vaccinated - most will die and 25% are children.
The US govt don't care about your life, but if YOU DO you should go get vaccinated - I would not have even answered an idiotic question, but yours was valid so you have a brain on your shoulders... so go get vaccinated cos I can tell you from personal experience - thinking after covid is very difficult.

Why Is Elon Musk Like That? let me explain: “My Laws Of New Technology”
Law 1) EVERY new technology allows the worst people in the world to maximise profit and power by destroying humanity - be that ship-building tech, gunpowder, nuclear bombs, prescription pain killers, the internet, social media or AI
Law 2) GOOD people will never profit as much as bad people from new tech as they are bound by morals not to destroy humanity
Law 3) THE TITANS of any new technology/industry are, therefore, axiomatically evil and the very people who should NOT have control of it
Law 4) THEY WILL spend a significant % of their wealth convincing you they are good/cool/socially responsible/caring, and that tech is good, and progress is, by its very definition - a good thing
Law 5) THE MORE technologically advanced the technology and the more ubiquitous its adoption, the harder it is to stop them destroying humanity

@fakename45 - The thing is, Im 100% in favour of everything except " digital ID, a cashless society" - the tragedy for me is they are spamming bollox
"a one world government, the end of all privately owned property, mandatory multiple💉 , universal basic income, the end of private transport, owning cars, the end of private farms and grazing livestock, the end of single family homes."
All of that I am totally up for, its literally the only way we save the planet for human habitation.

@nobodythenobody9779 OK - this is so painful - I did not say CLEAN the house I said KEEP the house. They means cooking, washing, gardening, shopping, feeding the kids, changing the kids, entertaining as hostess, polishing shoes, pressing suits, mending jumpers, sewing clothes, finding lost socks, walking the dog, helping with homework - YOU are going to be doing EVERYTHING that is not "going to work and earning money"
AND IF YOU are not then thats fine - but stop commenting on "TRAD WIFE" life cos you are not living the "TRAD WIFE" life you are living a slightly more traditional life than is the norm today.
And even then its NOT the "Trad Wife" life cos you have all the modern conveniences that make it MUCH easier and you have the psychological freedom that knowing its OPTIONAL gives you!!! Its YOUR CHOICE you can walk away any time you want - and that is NOT TRAD WIFE. Trad wife is having NO CHOICE in the issue at all.

@jamescooke7243 - You are both absolutely correct and slightly wrong. Politics - fundamentally makes no one happy, lets face it - it is the literally study of what is wrong with the world according to your beliefs. But that aside people do not choose their politics based on rational assessment. Your core disposition as a human being dictates your political beliefs. And your core disposition as a human being is governed by your physical brain makeup and your childhood.
If you do an MRI on someone's brain you can predict with astonishing accuracy their political beliefs.
If you count the taste receptor density on someone's tongue, you can tell with astonishing accuracy their political beliefs. The right wing have 20% to 30% higher density and overall number so they don't like strong flavours [I don't like eating that foreign muck].
The disgust reflex is incredibly strong in the right wing, in fact disgust is what drives most of their beliefs - this is why you will hear words like dirty, diseases, filthy, nasty, parasites, scum used all the time - adjectives that encapsulate the feeling of disgust.
And no, I don't have any papers on this, this is not my field - I deal with recovery from narcissistic abuse. But there are many papers and studies out there on this, this is where I get my information - its just a passing interest for me.
But in summary - the core motivations of the right wing are pretty much all negatives, they are motivated by stopping bad things happen. Whereas the left wing are motivated by making good things happen - as a generalization.
Oh and also - the right wing commits suicide a lot more than the left. But this is likely cos they need to live up to a macho self sufficient image and therefore cant ask for help. They also have more guns so its way easier.

@kazykamakaze131 - Yeah - you need to look up the definition of communism and the definition of dictatorship - you are conflating the two. . You also need to stop believing this 200m number, which is not quoted by anyone. The number you are looking for is 100m which was quoted by one guy in a book and his maths is utter bunk - he included 20 million people who were not yet born, but as their parents were dead they would not live so should be included. He was just a nutter.
Communism is an economic model, it has absolutely nothing to do with killing people in any way shape or form, quite the opposite, it is about looking after people.
Dictators are bad, they kill people, millions of people.
Correlation is NOT causation.
What you think you know as a westerner about communism has almost nothing to do with communism. and this is NOT your fault, none of us have any idea about the realities of communism in the west - yeah, shocker. We were lied to, it was nothing like we were told, at all.
The dictatorship bit was WAY worse than you would ever imagine.
And the living conditions and standards of living etc as well as the general level of happiness etc were WAY higher.

@Lee0568 - HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA yeah until the Australian / NZ trade deals start to happen and then they will not be able to even think of competing and will go bankrupt.
Inheriting a farm is not the same as inheriting intelligence and many farmers are thick AF. My cousin is about to inherit £25 million of farm land and he is literally the thickest person I know. On the other hand, my sister has a PhD and wrote the pig and poultry legislation for the EU, which is why the pig industry is now collapsing since we left the EU - cos it was cleverly written to ensure the UK industry benefited to the max...
IM AN AUTHOR on psychology and the collapse of civilisations - I wrote this the other day:
The balance has been tipped; there is no money left in the working class, they are in debt up to their eyeballs so now it is time for the elites to start eating the middle class. The lower value houses are to go to repossession auction at a bargain price and be gifted to the grandchildren of the Etonians as rental income properties and the smaller farmers are to be bought at bankruptcy auction to enlarge the estates of the landowners and Tory donors.
To do this you are hacking into your voter base, but it must be done to keep funnelling money and assets to the top. You can lie to the red wall - that will get you so far. But ultimately "democracy" has to go. You CAN NOT continue to win elections, no matter how twisted the system, when Tory voters are losing houses and farms.
So "democracy" has to go - or the system can no longer FEED.
And the ONLY purpose of the Tory party is to FEED the system. And the system has one purpose, funnel ever-increasing wealth to the top.
Brexit is a vehicle to move assets from the middle class to the elites. They dont care if the economy crashes, they have more money than they can ever spend - they are insulated. A nice BIG CRASH that devalues property and bankrupts farms is GREAT...! They can snap them up. Cos the thing the elites of the UK know is money is meaningless when you have enough of it - CAPITAL ASSETS is what builds and maintains generational wealth. That is why the price of houses and land are so high right now, they are converting cash money into capital assets at a rate never seen in history.
So they NEED a crash to bring the price down whilst they snap it all up...
---§---
This is the purpose of Brexit and the purpose of the Australia trade deal - devalue capital assets for the rich to buy them cheap, and they have their eyes on the FARM LAND...

@ramirorodriguez9671 - I 100% agree. I commented this to a guy who said he could not understand HOW Trump got elected:
Im an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations living in Europe. There is absolutely NO mystery why Trump was elected. The working people of America were TOTALLY betrayed by both the GOP and the Dems for 40 years, their jobs sent overseas, their towns abandoned to opium and rust.
Berni Sanders was very clearly the winner of the primary and the corporate POS Dems chated and served up HRC and 50 million forgotten Americans who had got their hopes up for change though F-UK YOU.
Trump lied to them, but at least he did not IGNORE THEM.
He spoke to the working class, HE SPOKE TO THEM, literally, he went and talked to them, it was lies but ti was ATTENTION for the first time in 40 years someone was paying them attention.
There is no mystery at all.
100,000 people in the heart of America died of opium overdoses last year, is it on the news every night "the Opium debate"? like the "Gun debate" NO - cos their lives DONT MATTER to anyone.
Trump supporters are the loneliest people in America BEFORE they became Trump supporters.
The life expectancy of a white male in the Missippie Delta is lower than that of a male in Bangladesh - the poorest part of the Indian subcontinent.
As a country, you have utterly abandoned these people to literally die. The fact "will always be the most perplexing question to me [how Trump got elected]" for you shows that you have NEVER considered their plight.
The fact you have never considered their plight IS WHY TRUMP WON.

@davidabrinton As an author on psychology let me explain, this is what the right wing simply don't get. They do not possess the right connections in the brain necessary to understand this and that is just factual not me being nasty. I know that you are going to think I am lying - because YOU would be lying if you said it, so you cant accept that I am not lying.
"NO WE DONT HATE YOU - we want the best for you, we want good things to happen for everyone, even the people who fight against us and vote for the con artists and the psychopaths because they prey on your inbuilt fear to get you to vote for them! We want you to have good jobs with protections, we want you to have free healthcare, to not be worried about your bills or unemployment and YES we get very angry with you - because you are so easy to manipulate into voting for psychopaths who literally TAKE all of this away from you and me and everyone."
Now I know you dont believe that that is true, cos you dont want that for us and you cant believe that we would truly want that for you - but our brains are different, quite literally we have different brains. Evolutionarily it was advantageous to have a group of people who would steal the last of the food as the village starved - and survive the famine. It was advantageous to have people who would run away and abandon the village when it was attacked, and survive. It was advantageous to have people who would leave their tired and exhausted fellow hunters behind to get eaten, and survive. The genes of the village lived on and the village rebuilt - and that is YOU.
We are the ones who tendered the sick, fetched in the harvest, shared the food equally in a famine, and stayed and fought as a group. 75% of the time we got through - 25% of the time we got wiped out and you survived - that's why there is about 25% right-wing in any civilisation.
NO WE DONT HATE YOU, we feed you when you are sick, we carry you to safety, even though we know you would not do it for us, cos we are just built that way.

Maybe you should read the research papers that clearly show that people told "if you donate to Trump for this you will be added to the list of special advisors" 100% they believe it. They have added it to their resumes, they have had business cards made up, they have added it to their Facebook profile "Special Advisor to The President"
The GOP may be hateful people, but they employ good analysts who know what they are doing. There is NO trolling going on, if they include the word "banana" it is cos they have researched that "banana" increases donations and attention.
The only getting trolled here is the one that believes fantasies about trolls that fit their own narrative, instead of reading the vast amount of published literature on the subject.
All of this, every strategy, every advert gets analysed by universities, undergraduates, PhD's, professors - its all there for anyone willing to read.
Thats why you talk rubbish about "trolling", cos you don't take the time to read.

As a European its easy to be smug about Americans - but in all honesty you have a totally different level of idiot to us.
For starters, about 25% of our population are idiots, its about 35% in the USA, and thats worrying cos they can swing elections. But its the quality of the idiot you have, they are simply ASTONISHING, if there was an Olympics for idiots you guys would take every single medal. They are so astonishingly dum8 and so incredibly proud of their idiocy.
And then - the other 65% of you are TOTALLY normal, rational, intelligent people. It's like you took a normal country of 300 million and added 30 million incredibly confident IQ80 people to it.
"The Great Replacement Theory"is correct, you are being replace, but not with immigrants, with idiots

@russellharrell2747 Hi - well obviously nothing like what they make in the US. But you would have to look at quality of life/standard of living. I looked up paramedics' salaries for you and its about 2,400 leva a month to 4,100 leva a month - which is $1,350 to $2,300 [this is probably out of date, its probably gone up 20%]
But my rent on a 1 bedroomed beachside apartment is 300 leva a month. 1,000 leva a month will get you a 4-bedroomed luxury villa with a pool. and this is an expensive city.
Remember that you dont have to pay for medical, you get 2 years off if you have a kid, school meals are free, the tax is 10% flat rate, my weeks shopping for 1 person is 70 leva and I eat high quality locally grown food. We also have amazing public transport so you dont need to run a car [cars] its $16 a month flat rate for unlimited usage, everywhere is walkable or bikeable.
I live a very modest life but very good life on 1,400 leva a month. Its nothing like as materialistic here, so you have your housing costs, utility bills, food, eating out, entertainment - beer is 2 leva [$1] coffee 1.5 leva [80 cents], clothing and that's about it.
Where you would really look out is if you can have a consultancy or teaching income from the US online - so if you could do courses or something that brought in $1k a month cos that is going to ass 1800 leva to your salary for maybe 5 hours work.
Its also a much MUCH slower pace of life. When I first moved here from the Uk I used to say its not a different country - its a different planet.

This was my comment - I think you will approve: BESPOKE TAILOR HERE this is what you do - BUY SECOND HAND - it is self-selecting for quality. IF a garment is good enough to be sold after being worn and washed several times - its quality. literally everyone I know, every client I have buys second hand.
2nd thing - get ALL your clothes altered to fit you perfectly be a local seamstress they exist you just have to find them. Rich people don't look rich cos their clothes are expensive - they look rich cos their clothes FIT. BTW - its way easier to make a too large fit than a too small fit so buy oversised
3rd thing - NATURAL FIBERS - wool, linen, silk, cotton, and I would include viscose / rayon. Two reasons - synthetic fibres are PLASTIC you are wrapping your body in PLASTIC and it leaches hormone-mimicking chemicals into your body which is BAD. But it is not as durable, it does not breathe with your body, its just bad.
4th thing - buys style not fashion - fashion changes, style is eternal. I have 50 year old jackets that get compliments every time I wear them.
5th thing - REPAIR YOUR CLOTHES - or get your seamstress to repair them - if they are altering your clothes to fit there will be a little extra fabric in the seams they have taken in - this can be used for repairs...!!!
6th thing - You. want to get to a point where your annual spending on clothes is NILL - you have everything, its well maintained, its quality so when you come to buy a new pair of trousers you CAN spend $800 having them made by a tailor cos that's the only thing you are buying this year. Or $500 on a nad knitted sweater, or $1,100 on a Rick Owens peace you love.
Hope this was helpful
PLEASE STOP buying fast fashion. PLEASE.

@psychedelicpiper999 - Now that I 100% agree with. All media is just theatre, politics is just theatre, the idea of left and right is manufactured BS. Its rich V poor like it has been for centuries, I don't believe any of them, politicians or media, believe a word they say...
Lindsy Graham got Covid on Joe Manchen's yacht - why are they don't the same yacht on holiday - they should HATE each other, its ALL A PANTOMIME...
But vaccinations are one of the truly great discoveries of the human race, they have irradiated terrible diseases and saved the lives of millions of people.
I had measles as a child, I had mumps as a child, I had tetanus as a child. I am 5' 7" because my height was stunted by these diseases!!!
These are things of the past, people today are taller partly cos they DONT suffer these terrible debilitating diseases in childhood, because of vaccinations. Vaccinations should NOT be politicised.
I bet you were vaccinated against these things as a child, and even if you were not they are almost extinct due to herd immunity from vaccines - how would you like to live your life 3" shorter than you are today due to childhood illness, would you give up that hight to be unvaccinated???
