Nixon easily would have won the election without cheating. Such a waste.

No.
even his resignation was honourable.
and compared to the events of today, watergate was nothing.

>>People are more likely to be vicious over messages since they can hide behind anonymity and there are no repercussions.
>>Political discourse on the internet is just circle-jerking, strawmanning, conspiracy theories, and insults because people mostly join groups where that sort of hostility to outside thought is encouraged.

All of these can be avoided by simply not using the internet.

>>no repercussions.

Leftie detected.
Awww, boohooo, someone called you name? Go fucking cry about it.
You have to be clinically insane to think somebody should face repercussions for saying something you don't like.

Do you even get what my post is about? I'm talking about its effect on people, I'm not looking for advice.

Calm your autism, I was comparing it to saying shit to people in real life. If you tell someone to kill themselves in person you probably aren't going to be walking away without someone at least calling you out or it devolving into some egotistical faggot busting you up. No one is attacking your shitposting.

On a utilitarian level i'd say no. On an individual level i'd say yes. For me personally and many others.

pretty much

Gives me hope knowing that I can make a living by bullshitting while liberal arts students think I'm on another level

Because Jordan memerson is the actual greatest.

It's probably one of the motivations. There's a similar trend in theatre like with the introduction of "OP" in Shakespeare.

I think it's a push back against minimalist productions and non-traditional productions, but it's also an attempt at recapturing what has been lost from those ballets over the past 100+ years. In the case of Sleeping Beauty, for instance, almost all modern productions (even those that don't deviate from the traditional set-up) have lost the extensive mime choreography from the original versions. The Ratmansky Sleeping Beauty restored almost all of it, resulting in a more narrative-based Sleeping Beauty compared to what normally appears on stage.

In addition to the loss of most mime, modern productions of classic ballets often use different endings and characters than they did in the past, which can radically change the tone of the story and erase or alter various themes and meanings that used to be there. To use Sleeping Beauty as an example again: in many modern productions, Carabosse is either killed/destroyed by the breaking of the curse, or otherwise punished by the king, queen or Lilac Fairy, or doesn't factor into the story after Act I at all. In the original production, Carabosse is invited to the wedding as a gesture of forgiveness, and she pays her respects to the family who pay her respect in turn. Ratmansky restored this ending which brought something new... err well, technically something old, but new for most audiences.

There's also the lavish factor. Most ballet companies, especially American companies, no longer do productions with incredibly lavish sets and costumes and huge casts. The Ratmansky Sleeping Beauty had incredibly lush, detailed costumes, expensive and historically based sets, and huge casts that required bringing in dozens of local dancers in addition to the ABT dancers.

And it's also bringing back a different style of ballet that is rarely seen on stage anymore, and restoring the original steps intended for the music.

The video from the actual production is gone from Youtube sadly, but compare this preview of the Ratmansky reconstruction of the Jewel fairies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVQTJFPqvjE

Because it's not evil and is objectively the best thing to happen to humanity.

It turns out an image board for sharing anime pictures isn't the height of intellectual discourse and isn't really representative of anything outside of other image boards for sharing anime, who knew.

That growth isn't due to globalism, it is due to Chinese people achieving civil liberties. While China suffered from tyranny and oppression at the national level under Mao, soon we will see tyranny and oppression emerge at the global level. The TPIP mixes up free trade (good) with dubious laws to control the internet, among other things. That is the jist of it, but "globalism" is a politicized term nowadays.

Replace "Christianity" with "Judaism" and you would be right. Sharia is virtually indistinguishable from halakha.

Muslims don't agree with the trinity stuff and they want christian to recognize that Jesus was one of the prophets and Muhammad was the last one. They also don't like depictions of anything.

But it definitely didn't began in any western waters, that's for sure!
