I think part of it is also the arguably preordained trip all of them are taking to Ba Sing Se, which for Iroh is more humbling than for any other character, the site where he lost his son and where he doesn’t want to lose his nephew. He gave up his prior post; it’s a transformation long coming.
How's the joke go—between Lupita Nyong'o and Helen of Troy, one is so beautiful she drove whole hordes of men mad, and the other is the fictional daughter of Zeus
Their desire for massive rollback of right to access care is just being executed in small increments; it's a ratchet effect. They argued for unethical restrictions of access to trial settings, and now that they got that, the pretense is expectedly dropped and they want to quash access that way too.
That feels more correct than any other name I had come up with, but I’m thinking of comments related to like dreaming about Jews or something like that. Could be a complete mental fabrication on my part.
Who was the non-Jewish public figure who made comments like that a while back? Like getting almost sappy about how much she loved Jewish people? I don’t think it was her but you’ve reminded me of that.
All this power vested in one (1) man and their chosen man is a schmuck, a codger famous around the world for being dim and manipulable. UET in shambles, just grift top to bottom.
It’s a little more accurate then to say that capitalism and feudalism both have, at some level, ownership which is not placed in the hands of workers. But this does not subsume one under the other or even make them comparable. I think even Marx lauded capitalism vis-a-vis feudalism.
The absurd thing too is we have plenty of circumstantial evidence China tried to cover up the natural origins theory, by denying health agencies access to test bat populations IIRC northeast of Wuhan, where a SARS-Cov-2 predecessor was thought to exist. Because they failed to regulate wet markets!
I also suppose this would be more an example of this phenomenon, rather than an analogy! He does mention slavery in the subsequent post so I was a little quick, but I think it’s even more straightforward than whether certain didactic articulations had been made before.
Nick is also obsessed with the alpha male aesthetics of eating at Hooters. It’s probably the strongest “is this a bit?” I’ve felt watching him, just pure TikTok form adolescence.
Going by the figures above, it’s seeing a single bear, then several generations of town residents live their lives as otherwise, and only then they go way overboard to protect against future bear sightings.
