If there's one moderate critique, it doesn't say much when it comes to political bias ratings, which are often U.Sian centric
Like here are the 3 axes of politics to me
Economic Policy (Base)
{Domestic} Culture and Government Structure Policy (Superstructure)
Foreign Policy (Western or Eastern Alignment
But I can't understand anything when it merely comes to left and right, like in what way are they leftist or rightist, are they economically socialist/capitalist and anti-western/pro-western in foreign policy in such way too, or merely when it comes to culture and gov't policy?
MFW when Japan decides to give a middle-finger to the U.S ~~execution~~ justice system
Yeah, Ik, Ik ("what about the corrupt justice system? The more prevalent use of solitary confinement? The roughly similar rates of death penality in both countries") but frankly, just consider it a rare W for Japan's criminal system, in comparison to the Marcellus Williams case...
The illegality makes the whole thing more kinkier...
No, that's the best response I've ever heard to such
"So, per rental unit, this is much cheaper than the average one in Canada?"
Ok I'm an idiot, for thinking of this in the first place... lmao, I stand corrected.
Our existence is rigged
Let's see here
Bourgeoisie:
includes grande (big) and moyenne (medium) bourgeoisie, but essentially they are medium (regional/national) and large (global) capitalists, that mainly rely on industrial profit, if not landed rend, and financial interest, based around growing industrial and financial productionThough I consider bourgeoisie in its western context, to specifically refer to the first modern form in Europe, birthed from the Medieval period
Bourg-eois --> Bourg derives from the medieval German term for "city", as they derived from the growing cities of their era
Petty-bourgeoisie:
a small business owner (only a handful of businesses directly owned by them)Proletariat:
wage/salaried laborers who depend heavily on their wage/salary, lest a few days/weeks leave em destitute and homelessThey are historically converted from the destruction of peasants, yeomanry, guild craftsmen, apprentices and mentors, during the progressive bourgeois revolution against feudalism.
Originally, in Rome, such term was derived from those citizens who made offspring to serve the Roman slave mode of production
Lumpenproletariat
despite its name, it is a similarly newly-created class of capitalism, more destitute and ruined than the proletariat, defined by a lack of official joblessness and stability, which include people from the simply unemployed and unhoused to criminals, strike-breakers, prostitutes, and gangstersThey are a wild card that can ally with either bourgeois or proletariat forces
Lumpen (rabble) + proletariat
