The success of the 9/11 attacks cannot be understated (see Jean Baudrillard's The Spirit of Terrorism).

After a supposed victory over an ideological opponent (USSR), the US engaged in building the "rules based international order" and, after a frenzy of neoliberal export (Bosnia), began to show rot. The cultural angst of the late 90's - unintentionally enunciated in Fukiyama's "End of History" - reflected the hollow promise of the capitalist vision.

The 9/11 attacks forced the contradictions of this aimless and self-destructive impulse into overdrive and spawned an unfocused frenzy of jingoism which served to mask the profound disquiet festering at the core of the American psyche.

That ideological bankruptcy has forced into focus the fundamental inability of capitalism to build a resonant faith in structural stability and justice.

You can definitely tell they they went ... whoops and tacked on the last 30 minutes of the movie to make him seem like the bad guy. The entire film goes into a severe tonal shift.

So I'm relying on more knowledgeable bears here, but this is basically a manifestation of unions without theory right?

Without state support unions will be assaulted by capitalistic mentalities and turn into gangs?

Liberalism is in the spinal cord - this move excises liberalism.

Amazing. Incredible.

How could you deny this perfect pokemon? Are you stupid?

EDIT: You're not stupid, I just like it so much - so cute.

I mean, the "Tiananmen Square" that Americans think of is just one picture on one day, but there were student protests for at least three months right? So he could have just said he was there during the student movement of '89? Daddy football was pretty garsh darn flustered tonight for sure.

Ohhhhh, okay - well mine was just saucy tofu. But that sauce could have been chicken broth based ... boo.

I ate the same thing but ... what's the meat???? Please don't tell me there's fish/oyster sauce in there???? It didn't taste like it....

Edit: So the sauce is usually made with chicken broth? :-(

 

Are you kidding me? This 'mon is a workhorse of hp absorb and dealing damage.

In Violet they wreck the opposition. Hidden OP.

Yes, I have a foil cardboard copy.

EDIT: Okay, Grass Flying type??? But in Violet they get Dragon type moves ... interesting

 

The Grass pokemon are the cutest, what are your favorite grass pokemon?

Also, is Grass competitive in the current meta?

 

Very sleek stuff, but reading the analysis gives bad vibes - what is their deal? Trot stuff? Can someone give me a good workup (I'm lazy)?

A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture.

It goes without saying that a nation, like every historical phenomenon, is subject to the law of change, has its history, its beginning and end.
