Balkan Odyssey is a weird (weird in the idk what to think about them sense) one imo. They’ve got some good videos but I remember watching their “What do we do with former socialism” video and they had some bad opinions. The one I remember off the top of my head was that they said
“Marxists-Leninists, or Stalinists, for the lack of a better term […]”
Not necessarily a psychology book but Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon does go into a psychoanalysis of the effects colonization has on people and nations as a whole.
I definitely agree with you but also think that while Elden Ring can be difficult to learn, it’s just like any other skill or hobby where you put a bit of time and effort and you can beat it no problem (a person’s goldfish beat some bosses). The game also has ways to make it easier by summoning other players or summoning NPCs to help you. Don’t get me wrong though, there should be more accessibility options to help people.
This could be the whole thread right here. Great book that goes very in depth and really opened my eyes years ago when I read it.
You’re not wrong at all but there’s also the chance your kids turn out like Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg (both their fathers were/are Marxists).
Yeah, France is trying to expand voting rights to recent settlers because the indigenous community is getting closer and closer to passing a vote for independence. It’s a desperate attempt to stop it. Fuck France
Send to device should be sending it to the memory of your Kindle. I have a Kobo and that’s how it is for me at least and I don’t think it’d be that different for Kindles from what I understand.
Can’t help with Colombia specifically but on the wider topic of Latin America I highly recommend “Open Veins of Latin America”.
I hate finding cockroaches in my home but I’ve definitely found an appreciation for them in general. They’re pretty important to the world’s ecosystem.
Tier lists originated in video game culture pretty much. It’s a way to try to subjectively rank things within a game by its viability. The s tier thing comes from Japan I believe, where in some academic cases they give an S grade for excellent performance. In the context of tier lists the reason there might be a S+ tier is because some characters might be really really good and are in S tier but some characters are just way better than everyone else and are in a league of their own.
He loves the US intelligence agencies and works with them so him being a Zionist makes sense.
To be fair, climbing up in trees isn’t gonna save you from a bear.
Glad to have you here. Since you’re already reading some books I’d also recommend Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti.
Because they think they’re in the right, won’t lose, and are untouchable. They literally can’t imagine that there will be consequences for themselves or these soldiers in the present or the future so they don’t care what these guys do or show.
Yugopnik actually talked about this very thing in one of his videos.
No, I would say that in recent memory it was just that book that was like that for me. Without spoiling anything I think it had to do with the book being kind of grounded (within the sci-fi setting it set) and then it just wasn’t.
And yeah I could definitely understand losing interest in that way. You just kind of lose the connection to the book through lack of interaction with it. Not sure if it would work but it could help to go back a couple of chapters and start reading from there to kind of remember what you were reading and feeling earlier.
What’d you think of it? I read it last year cuz it was recommended and I enjoyed the beginning but as the book progressed I got less and less interested.
You can also capture and sell human NPCs.
Patriots, Traitors and Empires: The Story of Korea’s Fight for Freedom by Stephen Gowans is a pretty good book. Been a while since I read it but it was very eye opening and a good read.
Hoping he’s a good leader but his recent meetings with the US Pacific fleet admiral and then a USAID administrator is highly questionable.
