If this person doesn’t trust you, you probably can’t get deep-seated beliefs out of them.

If they trust you, you have to make the slowly nudge them towards making the conclusions themselves. Ask a lot of questions, talk about how reigning in the corporations rather than unshackling them would be better at ending corporatism, and over time move towards more fundamental questions.

The ability to persuade someone of a viewpoint depends on how many assumptions, previously arrived at conclusions, and morals you share.

Conserva means tinned food in Russian. This would work too given the stereotypes of the sort who would eat tinned food.

A bit of classism involved, but meh.

Besides the hamsickle and its unfortunate connotations, there’s the red flag and, if we count them in the same group, the various bits of symbolism anarchists use.

Rights are not given, they’re taken.

The article you sent does not say that anyone can do it with 15 min. of training. It speaks of different levels of activity in different parts of the brain in an MRI scan. I myself do not have an MD, but I’m pretty sure reading an MRI to look at brain activity takes a little bit more effort.

I may have misinterpreted your previous message a bit as well, but as I understood it you implied that the way your amygdala is determines your political leanings. The article says it may be the other way around, like with London cab drivers having their brains change as they study the layout of the city. I’m sorry if I misunderstood you there.

Have a good day and thanks for sending this :)

Trump himself said the migrants are poisoning the blood of the country.

Is that the one where you roll for anal circumference?

I already started adapting my old joke repertoire!

Two federal agents are patrolling Washington DC. After a period of silence, one asks the other what he thinks of the current leadership.

After pondering what to answer for a bit, the second guy answers. “Same as you,” he says.

“Well, in that case I’m afraid I must arrest you.”

Thought crimes are very often retroactive.

During Soviet times figures drifted in and out of favour. An old joke:

Three men are sitting in a jail cell. “How did you end up here?” asks one the other. “I criticized Karl Radek,” he says. “No way!” replies the first man. “I got here for supporting Karl Radek!”

They turn over to the third guy in the corner and ask him why he got there. He sighs heavily and answers: “I’m Karl Radek.”

Gap in 2025 could also mean being in prison

Fair play to you :)

No idea if you already know these places (you probably do) but The Cobblestone, Peader Brown’s, and McDowells are all great pubs that are perfectly happy serving a drink to anyone of any orientation.

Sorry for the bother if you already know.

The French Revolution was done by the predecessors of the rich of today. On the other hand there was this one German economist who predicted that the ever increasing economic crises would lead to the workers rising up.

One remembers the “refrigerator mothers” idea

“Graham says the post was intended humanize [sic] the badge.”

By dehumanizing those that the badge fucks over, huh?
