    Society/Culture Japan population crisis

    That wasn't my assumption. Go argue with a mirror somewhere, then do a course in reading comprehension.

    Yeah, its a feedback loop that has serious economic consequences.

    I found out the other day that reddit allows AI training. Dunning Kruger AI on the way then.

    Society/Culture Japan population crisis

    My understanding is China has a similar demographic problem that's starting to rear its head and will as bad or worse for them as what will happen in Japan (and other places, like here.)

    The Law Australian Police brutality thread.

    Obviously a police officer murdering people with a police issue firearm is not in any way brutality.

    Politics Aussie Fascists and (neo)Nazis

    He's a lunatic but he's trying to maintain an organisation that has little relevance (and his own power) at the expense of his people. Yeah that's my point. Its a pretty important point and most likely a foundational one in terms of black nationalism. IE If black people hadn't been...

    Society/Culture The seemingly growing anti 'western' sentiment in 'western' societies.

    Seeds completely missed the point of what I was saying. Even without GHG emissions economic growth will cause planetary warming, simply because economic growth is proportional to the energy used in that economy and all energy use results in waste heat. Add that to the lag between the planet...

    They're not mutually exclusive. Young people are more strident but experience provides perspective, then as you age more you are more likely to have alot more invested in the status quo. Free from and free of... its an important difference. Its not just colonialism. Its the ongoing proxy...

    Politics Aussie Fascists and (neo)Nazis

    Black and white are European constructions. In Africa people refer to their actual heritage using the traditional names of their people. One of the real issues with "white" as a construct is it denies Europeans their actual cultural heritage (ie Irish, Scandanavian or whatever) and replaces it...

    Yep, altho I would say "black" isn't an ethnicity the way "German/Aryan" was in Hitler's use of the word and that one of the main reasons Garvey, the NoI and other black nationalists favoured black nationalism is because it provides them with a safe haven from oppression not because of...

    So? Firstly as a black American in the pre civil rights era who could blame him. Secondly, and the only real point I was making, he never appeared on stage with the KKK.

    The Law Australian Police brutality thread.

    I used to coach a kid in u14s whose family I'm good friends with, even made him captain. he was great too, a fantastic muso who was incredibly talented. he went to Qld became a cop and joined their equivalent of the TRG. I genuinely thought he'd be the good sort of cop (I'm sure they exist)...

    The Law Australian Police brutality thread.

    That was shocking. Its been well established that cops have higher rates of DV than the general public, will support colleagues rather than bust them and as result have a culture of relative impunity. Its just tragic for their families.

    I like how you've repeated what I posted a post later and yet still claim he appeared onstage with the KKK. When everything you posted clearly indicates he didn't. Unless you're talking about the QLD tobacconist cos if that guy was in the klan I wouldn't be surprised.

    You said you could see him on stage with them. Which you can't. Its not the same as being ordered to a secret meeting that pissed him off and probably led to him leaving the NoI.

    Awesome. I think the head of the US neo nazi movement, George Lincoln Rockwell did actually appear onstage with Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad (Head of the Nation of Islam.) He even expressed admiration for EM and called him "the Black Hitler." In support of the NoI repatriating black people...

    Its a generalisation but... Communist revolutions gain power when the working class peasants have nothing, fascist ones when the middle class have lost something, maybe everything. So its not looking good right now.

    Society/Culture The seemingly growing anti 'western' sentiment in 'western' societies.

    Higher energy probably means cooking the planet. Even if AGW wasn't a thing eventually economic growth would cause runaway global warming because the waste heat from all that economic activity would not escape the planet faster than it was created. Various physicicsts have done the maths and...

    I might give that a miss. I dunno what to say? Women don't enjoy sex? With him maybe. I know he's pretty *en out there but Wilhelm Reich was right about guys like him and fascism in general.

    I have it on excellent authority they don't. (At least with those people.) I meant his comments. Surely that wasn't actually what he said was it? Whenever someone says something that reinforces my own preconceptions so perfectly I always wonder if its bullshit.

    Yeah, resistance. I'm not just talking about Hamas. I'm talking about all of it, from social media posts to kids throwing rocks at IDF soldiers and settlers in the West Bank, ordinary Palestinians fighting cops at Al-Aqsa cos they're not allowed into their church. All the stuff you're...
