I paid for half of the trip with the wages I earned over the last two years, my dad paid for the other half. I am 19, I guess that is normal starting college and all. (Before that I worked for my dad's company part time, so I guess you could say he paid for all of it, lol).

The worst thing that would have happened would be to send him away to cool off and eat a souvlaki or two next door at Kavouras. XD

She might have a point. A little after you visited this started happening. Another of the squats attacked is right outside my house btw (not in Exarcheia, but Koukaki, my neighborhood). I managed to gently caress off just in the nick of time, and we retook the building a couple of weeks later. Others were not so lucky. Especially the refugees we were helping there. Things are a lot worse now unfortunately, with Covid and all added in the mix. T_T

First of all...  Jesus loving Christ.Second... This is one of those cases of the assholes being 'technically correct'. Which is to say, yes, agricultural jobs were - and in large parts of the world still are - absolute loving drudgery that makes just about any alternative seem good and like a step up. In a lot of cases, a sweatshop honestly still is a step up. However, and here's the trick: Unlike the implication that the opinion-piece makes, the fact that a sweatshop is a step up from, and a better alternative to, conditions similar to mideval peasantry, does not by any stretch of the imagination mean that labor-conditions in sweatshops are by any means okay. gently caress this disingenuous bullshit right in the ear.

What if someone in the farmhouse tries to steal some of your property before it burns, without paying for it? Better barricade the doors from the outside to be safe

crossposting from the internet culture warriors who self-own thread:quote:Lim exists in a singularly odd corner of the business world. He says he’s not an extremist, just an entrepreneur with a maximalist view of free speech. “There needs to be a me, right?” he says, while eating pho at a Vietnamese restaurant near his headquarters. “Once you get to the point where you look at whether content is safe or unsafe, as soon as you do that, you’ve opened a can of worms.” At best, his apolitical framing comes across as naive; at worst, as preposterous gaslighting. In interviews with Bloomberg Businessweek early in 2020, Lim said he didn’t really know what QAnon was and had no opinion about Donald Trump. quote:Lim attributes his entrepreneurial streak to a need to “put food on the table” during an underprivileged childhood, even though classmates remember him driving other kids around in his dad’s Lamborghini and posting videos of the rides to YouTube." quote:When asked why he wanted to do business with one of the U.S.’s most notorious White supremacists, Lim shrugs: “They were censored, so that’s what was interesting about them.”  more at the link: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-04-14/qanon-daily-stormer-far-right-have-been-kept-online-by-nick-lim-s-vanwatech

As somebody who likes Orwell and just finished reading "Such, Such Were The Joys" about an hour ago, Orwell would probably have some pretty sharp things to say about all the feminists, homosexuals, nudists, perverts, sandal-wearers, and bearded fruit juice drinkers infiltrating the modern Left.

And after that most of his left-wing advocacy was making GBS threads on every other socialist group even as they kissed his rear end. Orwell's net score is still positive, but he could be a real poo poo when it came to women, irish folk, and actual praxis.

ALOT of that seems to be traced back to experiencing firsthand the Soviet-aligned Spanish Communists persecuting and then violently eliminating the other socialist factions on the Republican side and actively working to stop attempts at carrying out a revolution in the Republican areas. Dude became pretty disillusioned.

The Right also kisses Orwell's rear end, though I don't think they started doing it while he was alive. 1984 is stridently anti-Soviet, and every right-winger trying to cast themselves as a bold intellectual underdog invokes Orwell. Like, Richard Spencer said he left academia to pursue a "life of thoughtcrime." Asimov absolutely skewered 1984 in a review, pointing out that it's as much about left factionalist grievances as anything else.

Oh, granted. And hopefully he'd have recovered a bit of nuance and stopped using his clout to stomp on british union defenders and dem-socialists, most of which were quite close to the Republican ideas he defended, for the benefit of crusty Tories, if he had lived longer. But still.
