✨Abolish Property✨

tell the rent extractors to fuck off

Yeah, until they flew over your house. If you think living near an airport is bad these days…. Concorde begs to differ

The tool measures distance with vocabulary. Afrikaans may be closer in vocabulary but pronounced very differently (since there’s way less cross talking since it’s so isolated), which would make it harder to understand to a Dutch speaker?

Yes. This is often true. But Flemish and Dutch are far far closer in linguistic distance than dutch and german.

And they are completely mutually intelligeble. Unlike Dutch and German, (which I prefer to call hochdeutsch, since german is a nationalist contruct that erases many other languages spoken by peoples living in Germany-Switzerland-Austria.)

Like here we get a distance between Flemish and Dutch of 5.6, that’s the lowest I’ve ever seen with this tool.

While 13.5 with Dutch and German.

Compare that to French and Occitan, Occitan is a Romance language in southern France, which got erased and often claimed it’s just “part of french”. The distance between them is 20.

Edit: Playing round a bit more with the tool, Your point is proven. The distance between Dutch and Afrikaans is lower. Only 2. Yet that’s considered different languages.

a traditional English term used to describe a political community as having been founded for the common good,

Ah yes, sure the indigenous peoples agree

Suprised no ones attacked you for calling Flemish Dutch ahhaha.

(They lowkey are the same language but many people in Flanders hate it being called dutch ahhaha)

The indigenous people were doinf controlled burns and had this all under control.

But then the colonisers took over and were more woried about protecting short term property value than long term sustainability so we got overzealous fire protection as a ticking time bomb.

Oh totally, wasnt saying they were the same. was just adding an interesting thing to the discussion.

It’s like Catholic Church vs Protestant Church. 😭

Although it’s technically not lice, this is called swimmer’s lice in many languages.

Or you know, abolish capitalism.

Totalitarist capitalism is not my cuppa tea, but suit yourself ;)

Probably lucky he didn’t get disappeared. Actually he lowkey did, but they released him after.

In any case, fuck Billionaires (but also fuck totalitarian governments like the CCP).

The KPD was shit. That doesn’t excuse what the SPD did. As always, just because two bad things happen doesn’t take away for the first thing being bad.

There were plenty of grassroots anarchist and communist riots (unaffiliated with the KPD) that did a lot of good.

Ah yes, good old “but we need peaceful protest”.

Like the social democrats in Nazi germany condemning those who rebelled in the street because they caused damage.

Massively oversimplified. But there gets a point, if enough people rise up, that the stronghold on power loosens.

Also Japan, India, Malaysia.

Even the UK has covert influence from politics on district drawing tho officially its “independent commission”.

Thanks. I now realise that the Gothard Base Tunnel was only completed after the book was released. Which explains why it wasn’t mentioned.

Interesting. Any particular reason the channel tunnel would last longer than say the Gotthard Base Tunnel?

I guess the gotthard is in the alps so landslides and rockfalls?

The concept for the book is such a cool one.
