0 sats \ 0 replies \ @398ja 1 Apr \ on: Even the socialists say that Stopping Marine Le Pen From Running Is a Bad Idea Politics_And_Law
This is not surprising. The FN/RN political party is a creation of the French socialist party, to consolidate its grip on power. Le Pen, father and daughter, have always been used by the establishment to the point where some people think that there is a tacit agreement between both parties. The RN now becoming more centrist under Marine's leadership makes it more dangerous to the establishment, which probably justifies her sentence...

53 sats \ 1 reply \ @398ja 28 Mar \ on: An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth culture
Interesting because I was recently listening to a thought provoking philosopher's take on this specific subject.
If I have understood the argument correctly, he states that "turning the other cheek" is a way of avoiding unnecessary escalation in a conflict, since, as the interpretation goes, finding "the right measure" can be tricky/difficult (there are so many ways we can misjudge the situation, the intentions of the aggressor, or the degree of the offence committed). "An eye for an eye" is only necessary when there is no doubt about the intention and the degree of the offence committed.
Thought it was interesting, and wanted to share...

I don't think I currently donate to charities. However, I donate regularly (monthly/yearly) to online content creators that I appreciate, e.g mises online, freedomain, tocsin, rgnr, The Duran, and I probably forget one or two more...

It has happened once, or maybe twice, that a stacker was inappropriately rude in their reply. I just ignore them, and don't engage. I think I downzapped once...
I try to remind myself that I don't need to have an opinion on everything, and should not engage online when I'm tired or stressed. When I forget this maxim, I write "dumb" unintelligible stuff. I'm getting better at it with age, though. 😅

On a related note — I have in the past made the argument that the CFA Franc is, in relative terms, one of the best currencies in Africa, despite its bad reputation among bitcoiners and on the continent
Before Zim's currency collapse, it was in Zaire's (now DRC), back in the 80s. Ghana's currency is also pretty much fucked nowadays. Nigeria's and Egypt's too, but to a lesser degree...
Don't get me wrong, the CFA is not perfect, but it's much more immune to collapses than many other African currencies...
