The bit that these people don't understand is pretty much everyone has done and taken part in the gift economy. But capitalism has brainwashed people to slave over pieces of paper. But if you've ever explained the rules to a board game, helped family members with tech support, helped a roommate learn how to cook a dish then people have partaken in the gift economy. I could list a thousand more examples. Even leaving internet comments is part of a gift economy if you leave a comment, you're not expecting anything in return and many internet comments are helping people asking about stuff they need help for. The gift economy is so engrained in everyday life yet capitalism just has decades of propaganda.
We need society to go back to our earliest economy. The gift economy, just sharing things expecting nothing in return. I wonder what life would be like if that was our main economy.
I know a trans male that knew they were male when they were in primary school. Trans kids exist
Just out of curiosity, how do you go about seeing who downvoted what? It would make a nice block list.
You know what they say. third time lucky.
Doing the thing people are shaming the students are doing in comments. We can't just judge someone based on their family tree. For any son of a president they're not going to fit in nicely at a university due to being the son of a president. Hate the president all you want but don't diss people just because they happen to be related to them.
The internet allows every village idiot to say to the other idiots "No you're not the idiot."
Honestly seeing this problem makes me thankful I went to a very small school. Like there was only 200 students in the whole school. Which meant everyone knew everyone so if you were being a dick, 199 people would know about it. It helped bullying go away honestly so small schools are the way to go. Shame there's a teacher shortage.
Depends how long the ride is.
The life expectancy being shorter before modern medicine is missing context. People were more likely to die as infants, but if you made it to age 5, you would most likely live a modern life span of about 80 years, so infant mortality was greater, but if you were to survive past infancy, life expectancy is about the same as it is now.
Honestly ceasing to exist sounds like my heaven, good thing I'm gay. Will miss out on the gay orgy but at least I won't be here.
It's like how Saint Nicholas really existed but wasn't Santa Claus. My go to rebuttal whenever someone tries to bring up historal evidence as existence of Jesus. If you believe in the mythological version of Jesus, then you must also believe in Santa Claus
May just be the neurospicy in me, but who likes people unannounced? Like, people can go about their day, knowing anyone could come at any time and they're ok with that?
Sounds like not the onion
Brainwashing from the moment they were born
I mean it's pretty much youtuber boxing, only a matter of time until regular people do it
