Why do non-capitalists/corporatists seem to have such a hard time letting go of their capitalist lifestyles?
It seems if you reject capitalistic culture there should be a pride in living very minimalistic and cheaply, but most rather seem to flock to some sort of high-end version of Minimalism(TM) where it means you buy expensive well-advertised design minimalist furniture and American Apparel and shit. Not wearing some t-shirt with holes in you got from a second-hand store (Slavoj Zizek is the exception, of course), or owning a cheap but ugly-ass phone.
Does the non-capitalist lifestyle need to become more "sexy" to appeal to people? How do we make it more sexy, WITHOUT breaking principles?
Ha! You got me! Well done!
>making threads to prop up your sense of self worth about your pointless opinions that you got from someone else that never really mattered to anyone
Why do you even care at all what other people think of your little subculture

Because they're bound to that system, you bloody idiot. You HAVE to adapt to it to live. Doesn't mean you have to agree to it.
Where do I start with Labour Studies?
I'm looking to read anything from 'first year textbooks', to the classics in the field, to obscure highly theoretical philosophy, ethnologies, academic papers and novels. I kind of want to get a taste for all of it to see if i'd be interested in studying it at school.
thanks for any help!
1 bump for people up at the other hours of the day : -)

Labour studies?
People's History of the United States is probably a good place to start. It has a great deal of information concerning early labor unions, riots, strikes, activists, etc.
Might also want to read a history of slavery.
The main message of psychedelic drugs is that the mental/spiritual realm is only accessible by material means. This is heresy.
>>1605465
you're heresy
Whatever, kiddo. You're basically a heretic just by posting on this Vietnamese jungle guerilla forum
"Heresy" according to what even?
Fuck this humanities shit, you faggots just circlejerk all over each other's faces constantly with this pointless bullshit.
Post historical event's theme

I know this song is from a movie about a different event, but in my head I've always associated it with the Roman conquest and massacres in Judea. The "slavery" in this case is more of a metaphorical thing than literal slavery.

that was not his best friend, August Kubizek was
personally I find their story to be beautiful
He wanted the loyalty of the Reichswehr on his side
Not his friend, his gay lover

It doesn't permit lying, but it does permit refusing to answer.

anon has a point OP, I don't know what CatImp is exactly, I only know Kant made it, but if it's moral to prevent harm then it would be necessary to not answer questions when such questions would lead to harm or whatever
I'm badly articulated but you get the point
>>1605263
>anything but virtue ethics
Well there's your problem.
Is there such thing as a high paying job to do with history? I absolutely love the subject but I also want to make at least over 80k a year because I want to live the good life aka: Holidays, big house etc.
>inb4 money isnt everything
No lmao
>>1605119
Welp there's an answer
Write a really popular pop history book
Can somebody explain the importance and history in a nutshell?

>>1605104
Also, what would be a President Trump or a President Clinton's aims for American involvement?
Thanks y'all in advance
>>1605104

Clusterfuck
And it's all shades of gray.

does this mean perestroika was to slow down the economic growth and better the life of the soviet people?
>>1605042
?
Gorbachev's "perestroika" (rebuilding) had several directions, the most prominent being
Glasnost -- politcal goal to open up secrecy and allow more free press
Uskoreniye (acceleration) -- giving a boost to stagnating economy
>>1605079
well then doesn't that mean perestroika failed to accelerate the economy when you consider the GDP growth of -1.3% ?
>>1605091
of course
What Gorbachev PLANNED to do and what he ended up with are quite obviously different things.
Like take for example his anti-alcohol campaign. He personally considered alcoholism a shame on his nation. What it did is wrecked state budget ever further (alcohol production is frighteningly huge contributor to the budget of Russia). His dry law did saved million of lives in several years it was active though via reduction of alcohol related car accidents and crimes, less defective babies.
He meant well and but most of his enterprises end up in disasters until he was politically killed in the back by power-grabbing Eltsin.
This is Shannon Green... Wisest man and the best scientist ever, probably.
Here are some of his recent quotes:
"A bunch of words is your intelligence? Let's see it!"
"Gov's reality has a nice, serene level of excitement."
"I'm sure if I needed to be a rocket scientist in my life, I would be able to conquer that - but have never had the need."
"I can be anything!"
What do you think of this man? Is he right? Is he as smart as others claim him to be?
"I can be anything!"
>>1605004
Do you agree with (he or) him?
>>1605007
Yes but also no
If you can't feel, see, hear, taste or smell something - does it exist?
>>1604918
But what if you have heard of it?
Or what if it's a feeling or sensation?
Or an event that you believe may be a sign for something greater to come?
>>1604918
yes,
if it does.
>>1604918
Yes
It's called "will"

What sort of strategy to they teach at military colleges? Are they given accounts of ancient conquerors as well as modern tactics and the like? What might be in an officers course reading list?
Picture unrelated

Bump.

That's a state secret, pham. Is this a joke?
>>1604722
They of course continue to study Sun Tzu, because the man LITERALLY wrote the book on this whole affair. I imagine they might also read on Julius Caesar, George Washington, perhaps William the Conqueror and Jeanne D'Arc. Although their strategies are ancient and outdated, they can provide analogues for newer ones and be examples of innovation, outside-the-box thinking and creativity. They may also study their nation's military failures to learn what does NOT work.
