Wonder if tr~deau jr was put on the backbench and freeland stepped up how things would go, could be like his father and have a 'return to the throne' idk. either way this pic rings true...

in china and japan i have friends who studied K-12 there and they do cleaning amd stuff, not hard labor and i'd imagine it is better than sitting a desk.

places will always need to be cleaned, fostering that in youth would be a great virtue to instill.

also as a guy i learned how to clean a bit in school bcuz i was keener and wanted to suck up to teachers

It's the extreme rigour with which they perceive themselves, and the sentiment I've always seen of, "I know how the world works, it's money"

I don't see the need for the condescension. My background was in biology, I spoke to another friend about how competition is inefficient and cooperation is more fruitful from an ecological (read: natural science) standpoint. And he started to debate me, my claims are empirical, they don't rely on axioms on what human nature is as argued by philosophers of old (not hating on them, it's the superficial interpretation some econfolk seem to have which is what I find erroneous) and what it means to be rational. I did not bother to try and explain, the Um, akshully they came at me with was so off-putting.

The history is revisionist and I'm convinced it's effective contemporary propaganda placating the founding fathers and American Revolutionary War. Providing a modern interpretation which folks can connect to with a veneer of progress.

The music is wonderful, as much as I dislike the content, the musical prowess, I think, needs to be commended.

How does everyone know this but me? If it wasn't the education system of a lower socioeconomic neighborhood in the imperial core then it must be due to slacking off a ton 🥲
