Right, wasn't on tiktok lol. I agree, we are losing important global and historical perspective due to overemphasizing very recent events and only a niche segment of those too

I agree, it cannot be true even after several adjustments. That was my point too. I agree with your correction to the historically unprecedented part as well

The post was about the current year/present though

So idk, maybe child murder by military operations would work. But this is getting very niche very fast

However, when distributed across the global timeline and compared to endemic violence in regions like Latin America and parts of Africa, the total numbers, while tragic, do not constitute the primary cause of child murders worldwide.

The concentration of child deaths in Gaza over an 18-month period is historically unprecedented for a single conflict zone.

Russia must be freed from Putin, Hungary must be freed from Orban etc

There's also a need to develop positive visions that we can stand behind. Positive freedom to be implemented once extreme oppression is removed.

so deeply (and saddeningly) ironic + such a straight face. Almost funny. The icing on the cake, total lack of empathy ruins your sense of humor too, it's a serious disability

They should wear name tags

Kind of agreed. Except who are you calling an aristocrat here? I guess, you mean the cleptocrats who play mind games on millions of amygdalae!?

Senate Republicans beat back a resolution to overturn Trump’s tariffs Wednesday, exploiting the absences of Sens. Mitch McConnell and Sheldon Whitehouse and using Vice President JD Vance’s tiebreaker to shelve it.
Whitehouse’s attendance at an overseas oceans conference was nonetheless glaring.

Not Voting - 2
McConnell (R-KY)
Whitehouse (D-RI)

Why didn't they vote? Absence? (Honest question, I don't know)

It operates in the borderland of
unpredictability, considering values and facts. It seeks to understand
the world as it is and to bend it toward the way it should be. 3/3
#unpredictability #values #freedom #toward

It does not waste its energy rationalizing the existing state of affairs or its own weakness. It reasons instead, with the help of values and others, toward better futures. 2/3
#values #together #freedom

I think it's also interesting that people rely more on 'moral' dimension for 'orher' compared to 'self' condition. And vice versa for aesthetic/intellectual pursuits.
