Not necessarily a psychology book but Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon does go into a psychoanalysis of the effects colonization has on people and nations as a whole.

This could be the whole thread right here. Great book that goes very in depth and really opened my eyes years ago when I read it.

You're not wrong at all but there's also the chance your kids turn out like Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg (both their fathers were/are Marxists).

Yeah, France is trying to expand voting rights to recent settlers because the indigenous community is getting closer and closer to passing a vote for independence. It's a desperate attempt to stop it. Fuck France

Can't help with Colombia specifically but on the wider topic of Latin America I highly recommend "Open Veins of Latin America".

I hate finding cockroaches in my home but I've definitely found an appreciation for them in general. They're pretty important to the world's ecosystem.

Tier lists originated in video game culture pretty much. It's a way to try to subjectively rank things within a game by its viability. The s tier thing comes from Japan I believe, where in some academic cases they give an S grade for excellent performance. In the context of tier lists the reason there might be a S+ tier is because some characters might be really really good and are in S tier but some characters are just way better than everyone else and are in a league of their own.

He loves the US intelligence agencies and works with them so him being a Zionist makes sense.

I'm not the commenter you replied to but it's most likely this one and this one.

To be fair, climbing up in trees isn't gonna save you from a bear.

 

TLDR:

  • “New quality productive forces” concept at center of Two Sessions 2024
  • Hong Kong passes its own national security law
  • China-Africa relationship moves towards industrialization and mineral development
  • China-Australia relations warming up
  • Gala 3.15, an annual TV show, exposes scams and false advertising of brands and companies

Glad to have you here. Since you're already reading some books I'd also recommend Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti.

Because they think they're in the right, won't lose, and are untouchable. They literally can't imagine that there will be consequences for themselves or these soldiers in the present or the future so they don't care what these guys do or show.

Yugopnik actually talked about this very thing in one of his videos.

 
 

I didn't realize Ben Norton moved to China recently, that's pretty cool.

 

As a Lithuanian, not surprised by this garbage decision.
