Democracy is non-negotiable

No clue about the constitution, since I am not american, but it would be logical to think that the religous can rule as long as they don’t break other human rights.
I mean it kinda does with the whole “freedom of expression” thing it has.
I could be wrong on this, but that’s how I interperted it.
Because of those pesky human rights that mandate “freedom of religion” or whatever.
Could you elaborate, since I have absolutely no clue what connections significant enough you are making to say this.
Before agriculture people were like that, but as people settled down it created a class system. Then people got more powerful and such and states began to be created.
During this time (Around 4000bce and 400ce) feudalism wasn’t really a thing, but after the Western Roman Empire fell around 400ce the power vacuum it created lead to the creation of feudalism. This was because of several factors, but I can’t remember them all right now.
But money did exist even before the creation feudalism, since the Romans and the Egyptians did have money. Even in Mesopotamia currency was used. And even if money didn’t exist trade was still being done with valueable things like resources and other commodities, which lead to those things becoming a de-facto currency.
So basically pre-agriculture was like tribes that shared their stuff and such, but after agriculture not so much. Of course this isn’t a one-answer-fits-all thing, since there are always exceptions.
Sorry for the long ramble. I just got really into writing this thing. Also I could be wrong on some things, since I am writing from memory.
Mainly mercantilism which just means that everyone wants to only export and importing stuff is literally the worst thing in the world. Mercantilism also had a lot more state restrictions on it compared to capitalism.
Feudalism mainly died out in the 1400’s when more of the power was centralised to the king instead of their vassals.
Not that I know of, but it should be added in for those who don’t want to interact with people from Hexbear. If people have the freedom to block an instance for themselves it would expand the decentralization that Lemmy is built on, since people don’t have to move to those instances to block out Hexbear.
I’ve read that blocking the Hexbear domain is a solution to this, but that isn’t a proper solution, since those who aren’t tech-literate would have a pretty hard time doing that, so a first-party solution would be the best.
That’s what Big Non-Dino-Oil wants you to think, so they can get all of the moneys from everyone.
The modern way of doing this would involve reversing the process of dinosaur bones turning into oil. So you just put into the oil-to-bone-inator and bury those bones back into the ground where they originally came from.
If this happens they’ll do the “A person who swears to tell the truth and nothing but the truth says what” ordeal. If that doesn’t work they will just let you leave
I would say I lean towards not believing, but I am open to other ideas. And if god did exist it really wouldn’t change anything for me. I would just live as I normaly do
I couldn’t find a single mention of a fascist movement in the uprising. So either it was neglible in size, or you are just lying.
“Insufficiently oppressive”. What? Hungary was a really oppressive nation during that time, and you wanted it to be more oppressive?
And opressive to who? Fascist? They can just lie about not being a fascist. That leaves out to just guess who is a fascist and that sounds like a wonderful time for the citizens.
Patton really was correct about the Soviet Union.
Let’s take a look what started that “fascist” uprising. Years of economic mismanagement, opression, and being forced to pay a big chunk of their gdp to the Soviets for war reperations were all factors that lead to the Hungarian Revolution.
And who did these “fascist” pick as their leader? Imre Nagy, the man who was ousted from power by the soviets for having the audacity to be a more moderate communist than hardline stallinists.
The US doing something bad doesn’t justify someone else doing bad. Think about a nazi who uses that reasoning, they would sound like a nazi apologist.
Yes, the US did some bad stuff, but I still view them as the lesser evil when compared to the USSR or China.
Also Hungary doing something 65 years later doesn’t justify the actions of the Soviets.
I would’ve, but finnish law requires you to get permits for receiving donations, and Wikipedia doesn’t have them.
But wouldn’t that invalidate the usage of that word in the circles that use it wrong, and not for those who use it properly.
Like if there was a hypothetical town where the word “good” was used to describe bad things, would that town invalidate the word “good” for every single town? Of course it wouldn’t, it would only invalidate the usage of that word by the ones who use the word in question wrong.
But that wasn’t said in your original message, was it? In your original message you were implying that by the USA spending more money in their military to spread their influence, would make the US government a tankie(?), thus invalidating everyone who uses the word tankie.
Also if your point was that the word tankie lost its meaning by usage in invalid contexts, why did you mention the USA? Wouldn’t it have been more appropriate to explain that it lost its meaning by the usage of it, and not by the actions of the US government, since the US is not the only nation who has people who use the word tankie?
Either you are willingly redefining a word, or you don’t even know what it means
Tankie means a person who supports an authoratian communist state.
The word comes from the Tianamen Square Massacre, where tanks were used to silence and kill protester, which some people think didn’t happen.
I saw the video about Python from Life Of Boris and thought it looked fun, so I just decided to learn programming.
