Goodish news… You wouldn’t be eating the poop. It’d be thrown in a blender until it reached an enema appropriate viscosity.

The Moravian church was kind of radical, I’m not religious but imo it’s the closest thing to actual Christianity we’ve ever gotten. Overseas b there were Moravian church members who would sell themselves into slavery so they could preach to other slaves.

Before some of my family were sent off with the Cherokee on the trail of tears, half of them went up north to Pennsylvania and Ohio and were killed in the Gnadenhutten massacre during the revolutionary war. The survivors fled to Canada and would later be attacked after the battle of the Thames by the US cavalry expedition that killed Tecumseh during the war of 1812.

Yeap… It’s how some of my family ended up in Oklahoma. My dad’s side of the family were some of the early founders of the Moravian church in the US. They got kicked out of Georgia for being too friendly with the natives and attempting to sneak slaves away to attend their sermons.

You have plenty of non-profit newspapers. ProPublica. The Guardian. The Colorado Sun. The Salt Lake Tribune. Mother Jones. Le Devoir. La Presse. Mediapart

And how much of the market do these networks control? Just because there are non profits available doesn’t negate their claim.

Also, if a journalist writes total bullshit, they lose their job. It’s career suicide. Their articles follow them for their entire career. So they have to be careful.

Depending on what network they are submitting their work to… It’s not like “journalists” on Fox News are being shamed for submitting fake stories.

Yeah, give me the “I want to see your manager” in the front and “I am the fire starter” in the back. Thanks.

This is the only reason I own a pair of cut resistant gloves. Makes the mandoline actually a useful and safe kitchen tool.

I think that it’s more that we’ve commoditized all aspects of community, and at the same time have stopped offering any sense of financial opportunities to young people.

Social groups are now built around expensive hobbies or membership subscriptions. There aren’t even really any free spaces for people to organize around. Even the alt right groups preying on lonely people are usually just trying to sell supplements or merch.

would love their ideology to be accepted common sense rather than current one

The crazy thing is that the current economic system we utilize isn’t considered nonsensical.

I guess an economic system that requires infinite growth made a bit more sense during the age of discovery, when people were actively finding new continents to exploit. One would think that now we’ve definitively concluded we inhabit a closed system with a finite amount of natural resources, maybe just maybe we could evolve our economic system to reflect that?

It’s so weird seeing people making poor interpretations of another ethnicity’s culture their entire identity. I wonder if there are weirdos in India rocking lederhosen or milkmaid outfits at random music festivals and ranting to strangers about Calvinism?

In that scenario it’s safest to split payment, 400 in Bitcoin and 400 in meth. You gotta diversify your portfolio.

An easier way to avoid taxes while I collect my bribes…don’t mind if I do!

The rats are stealing the cargo as they abandon ship, what a bunch of enterprising rodents we have.
