Kids have a pure admiration for blue collar workers. Garbage truck drivers, construction workers, fire fighters, etc. They appreciate and respect these people more than grown ass adults do.
Cause kids see big trucks and machines and the awesome people that know how to use it. Their mentality is āParents donāt let me play in dirt and this guys gets PAID to play in dirtā
And thatās a good thing. We need to hold on to that and foster it in kids. That all labor is valuable and that there is no shame in doing it.

More than 7000 people have been detained. They started to release them slowly and all the prisoners talk about how they were tortured, beaten, bones and spines broken, they couldnāt get any food for days and so on. People donāt receive any medical treatment there and are dying in the hospitals after they are released from detainment. And of course, the government denies everything.
PLEASE HELP TO SPREAD THE INFO ITāS OUR ONLY HOPE
You can find more info here: 1 , 2, 3
Itās in russian, so feel free to attach any good articles in english on reblogs. The world must know about it.
Iām reblogging it again because some people think that everything is good now, but itās not and I canāt be silent about it. Yeah, today was a very calm day with huge peaceful protests, flowers, smiles. But it doesnāt change the fact that people were detained and tortured.Ā
Families and friends of these people still donāt know where they are and are they alive or not.
YOU CAN SUPPORT US BY DONATING HERE OR JUST SHARE THE INFO. TALK ABOUT IT. READ ABOUT IT.
Before launching his political career, Lukashenko worked as director of a collective farm (kolkhoz), and served in the Soviet Border Troops and in the Soviet Army. He was the only deputy of the Belarusian parliament to vote against the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union.
also the science is so iffy as to whether or not they even work in the first place. i donāt care for safety blankets, particularly if I AM being forced to put one on.

Can you point me to some of this āiffy scienceā? Iāve looked through two studies so far that show masks either directly reduce quantity of particles transmitted:
There's too many factors involved in various mask materials and people wearing them improperly etc for me to trust any data on the subject tbh. Not to mentions studies' data can be so easily skewed to represent whatever findings you'd prefer to find.
Does a bandana hanging under your nose help deter spread of disease? Maybe.
So I have to wear this shit 40+ hours a week until the end of time during the hottest summer since the 30's because it maybe might help? If that's not good enough for someone then I get it.

Minneapolis city council is trying to extort the owners of looted and destroyed businesses to pay property taxes before they're even allowed to rebuild. As in, they won't let them begin with repairs until they've paid up.
Lol between that and dismantling their police department, itās like they WANT anyone who can afford it to move away and never come back. Seems to me like the city is gonna be unlivable after all this.

Perhaps the biggest example of the Western mediaās inherent biases surrounding its coverage of Swedenās approach to tackling COVID-19. Plenty of media outlets decried the countryās āmassiveā fatality rate compared to its lockdown-favoring neighbors, but failed to add the context necessary to see that the difference was only a couple thousand deaths, and that Swedenās per capita mortality rate was still lower than Britainās, and other countries that favored lockdowns.
When Anders Tegnell, the architect of Swedenās strategy, said during an interview that he would have done things ādifferentlyā if given a second chance, the Western press, including the NYT, rushed to frame this as an admission of guilt for failing to order the types of restrictive lockdowns seen in other European countries. Tegnell later clarified that this isnāt what he meant at all.
Whatās more, in Sweden, deaths have declined nearly to zero. And since the countryās economy has remained open this whole time, thereās little risk of resurgence when whatever minimal restrictions are still in place are finally lifted.
In a column published Thursday, The Telegraphās Allister Heath argued that Swedenās success at fighting the virus while minimizing economic damage elucidates the depth of the British medical establishmentās incompetence, as it was Britainās health experts whose advice PM Johnson assiduously followed.
Read an excerpt from the column below (courtesy of the Telegraph):
So now we know: Sweden got it largely right, and the British establishment catastrophically wrong. Anders Tegnell, Stockholmās epidemiologist-king, has pulled off a remarkable triple whammy: far fewer deaths per capita than Britain, a maintenance of basic freedoms and opportunities, including schooling, and, most strikingly, a recession less than half as severe as our own.
Our arrogant quangocrats and state āexpertsā should hang their heads in shame: their reaction to coronavirus was one of the greatest public policy blunders in modern history, more severe even than Iraq, Afghanistan, the financial crisis, Suez or the ERM fiasco. Millions will lose their jobs when furlough ends; tens of thousands of small businesses are failing; schooling is in chaos, with A-level grades all over the place; vast numbers are likely to die from untreated or undetected illnesses; and we have seen the first exodus of foreigners in years, with the labour market survey suggesting a decline in non-UK born adults.
Pandemics always come with large economic and social costs, for reasons of altruism as well as of self-interest. The only way to contain the spread of a deadly, contagious disease, in the absence of a cure or vaccine, is to social distance; fear and panic inevitably kick in, as the public desperately seeks to avoid catching the virus. A āvoluntaryā recession is almost guaranteed.
But if a drop in GDP is unavoidable, governments can influence its size and scale. Politicians can react in one of three ways to a pandemic. They can do nothing, and allow the disease to rip until herd immunity is reached. Quite rightly, no government has pursued this policy, out of fear of mass deaths and total social and economic collapse.
The second approach involves imposing proportionate restrictions to facilitate social distancing, banning certain sorts of gatherings while encouraging and informing the public. The Swedes pursued a version of this centrist strategy: there was a fair bit of compulsion, but also a focus on retaining normal life and keeping schools open. The virus was taken very seriously, but there was no formal lockdown. Tegnell is one of the few genuine heroes of this crisis: he identified the correct trade-offs.
The third option is the full-on statist approach, which imposes a legally binding lockdown and shuts down society. Such a blunderbuss approach may be right under certain circumstances ā if a vaccine is imminent ā or for some viruses ā for example, if we are ever hit with one that targets children and comes with a much higher fatality rate ā but the latest economic and mortality statistics suggest this wasnāt so for Covid-19.
Almost all economists thought that Swedenās economy would suffer hugely from its idiosyncratic strategy. They were wrong. Swedenās GDP fell by just 8.6 per cent in the first half of the year, all in the second quarter, and its excess deaths jumped 24 per cent. A big part of Swedenās recession was caused by a slump in demand for its exports from its fully locked-down neighbours. One could speculate that had all countries pursued a Swedish-style strategy, the economic hit could have been worth no more than 3-4 per cent of GDP. That could be seen as the core cost of the virus under a sensible policy reaction.

So uhh today I was chastised by my sociology professor when I said that FGM and child marriage are inherently wrong and constitute human rights violations regardless of where/why theyāre practiced. He said IĀ ācanāt think like thatā and that I wasnāt using the sociological perspective of cultural relativism. Iām amazed that I managed to stop myself from screaming, but somehow I did and now my bloodās just been quietly boiling all day instead. And my doctor wonders why I have high blood pressure this youngā¦ Jesus FUCKING CHRIST
because the rape of children and mutilation of female bodies arenāt something that should be respected due to the blatant harm it causes to those populations!!!! westerners please fucking stop justifying the abuse and rape of female children just because itās not happening in a western country!!!!

Fun fact: It can involve 2-4 and still be Capitalism because in the absence of those things, a company (or multiple companies) seeking to maximize profit (which is all Capitalism cares about) would lobby governments to implement them.
i.e. Those policies are a byproduct of Capitalism.
Whatever bro, itās a natural result of the incentives inherent in Capitalism (i.e. maximum profits over all else). Whether you wanna call thatĀ āCapitalismā itself or not is really irrelevant because all Capitalism will lead back to the same situation.
