ParticipantNo I didn’t. Google banker. It is now the term also for a bank clerk, and they all call themselves bankers.
In the days of Chaplin workers knew they were workers. They may have sheepishly followed warmongers and idolised monarchs, but they knew they were working class.
The workers were the good guys in movies. The underdog was championed.
Now, the underdog is a criminal whom the heroic cops deal with, and the regular fare for workers are “reality” shows and idolisation of the parasitic super-rich.
Now, if you tell someone they are working class, or tell a bank clerk he isn’t a banker, you’ll be shunned.
Just like telling someone the biological fact that they are an animal!Thomas_More
ParticipantSo you go along with the Western media’s narrative that it was “unprovoked” and that it is “Putin’s war”, the personal choice of an evil ruler of an evil empire (and so presumably you can’t blame the US, NATO and Britain)?
You know better than to make this crass assumption, ALB.
This is like the dinosaur-denying conspiraloons who retort to evolutionists: “So you believe Jurassic Park, do you?”-

ParticipantYes. Thank you. The main point is made in The Shallows.
I think ALB should view it.

Appears Pyongyang is sending troops after all.

ParticipantSo will Russia accept a truncated Ukraine joining NATO, if Russia keeps Crimea and the Donbas?

ParticipantWill the US allow Taiwan to declare independence?

ParticipantHow will China vs Philippines cold war be ended without China taking military action, bringing in the US? Can it remain as it is indefinitely, without triggering war?

I still don’t understand why the EU member states as a whole want to continue the war and to keep giving billions to Kiev, when, in 2021, Germany especially was so excited about Nordstream and not so happy about Biden’s interference leading it to be scrapped and pushing Europe back into the Cold War. Now the EU is almost totally gung-ho with NATO.
And we see the leftist parties are the pro-war parties; the rightist ones calling for a ceasefire.

ParticipantI see the “separatist” president of Taiwan is in fact reinforcing the Republic of China motif and flying the KMT sun logo, not the Taiwan independence one, for all his rhetoric against Beijing.

Participant“No, painters’ oil is not the same as petrol:
Composition
Painters’ oil is made from natural oils and pigments, while petrol is a petroleum product.No matter what you may have heard, artists’ oil colors are made using vegetable oil as a vehicle and binder. This has been true from the very beginning.”

ParticipantAnd is this the Socialist response, comrades?
1. Throwing food about when people are starving.
2. Choosing the artworks of proletarians like Van Gogh as targets.
Guess if you saw a down-and-out street artist being pelted with muck, you’d join in?
