Thanks. I'm worried who is speaking may not be obvious from the text alone.

The power of the industrial working class was destroyed. That used to be the most "progressive" force in society. Then politics switched from leftism to centrism for a few decades until growth slowed down for the non-rich: I happen to know many industrial workers and they certainly don't ...

Capitalism triggers the effects of Terror Management Theory. Sure but capitalism has existed for generations without the far right taking over. What would you say has changed over the past decade to make it suddenly trigger this terror management theory? The power of the industrial working class wa...

What really baffles me is the global nature of this reactionary onslaught. If only certain countries were falling to reactionary politics, we could reasonably ascribe this to specific reactionaries having considerable skill at propaganda or the failure of specific liberal and leftist politicians. T...

(I also happen to know a nine-year-old who could probably rakt , not that I want them to become an imn-anθ .) Wow. Our hope for the future. My main question is how the guilds have preserved the numerological (and philosophical) aspects of the formal register Tlalok? I understand that this is a ritu...

I do think there are a bunch of writing implements that would manage something like this beyond those bradrn mentioned: pencils, styluses in wax(?) or perhaps, depending on the leaf, on leaves... And perhaps this form of Laulai is written with flexible metal nibs or ballpoint pens, after all. Just ...

The first line is still confusing me. It says something like: Her brow's bow gets furrowed, body's scimitar... I think it's a reference to lightning. How to translate this? I really enjoyed listening to this song facilitated by the translation on your blog. Thanks. Can you explain the lightning ref...

তার ভুরুর ধনুক বেঁকে ওঠে তনুর তলোয়ার, Furrowing the bow above her eyes, her body a scimitar, সে যেতে যেতে ছড়ায় পথে পাথর-কুচির হার। While dancing by she scatters over the path a necklace of sharpened pebbles. The first line is still confusing me. It says something like: Her brow's bow gets furrow...

I'm truly struggling right now. I lost my job recently and it's not been easy to find a new one. If anyone wants to help me out, i can DM a Gofundme, but it's not a demand from me or anything. I guess this whole situation has depressed me a lot. When you're broke, you're just not a complete person....

There have been and are plenty of peoples and religions who have believed that gods are not inherently good, or all powerful, or all knowing. Or at least if some god is one of these, they are not all of these. Or they might believe the gods have different sides that can be appealed to in different ...

I haven't fully checked it for mistakes yet.

you can explain at length how leftism would make people's lives better and people won't believe you. We should list the reasons and address them. For example, fascist voters are often under the impression that leftist politics is sappy and that economic success requires hardnosed right-wing politic...
