This strikes me more as the raw hate of continuous war. If you’re american, read the later events of the civil war as it dragged on; the civility wore away and mass slaughter became the norm.
This is the genocide call as well. Crimea was under Russian control for over 10 years. People both in Russia and Ukraine receive passports on their 14th birthday. So you are calling to kill all crimeans between 14 and 24.
And no, if you think that they should’ve received their Ukrainian passport, you’re still wrong. Ukraine set a massive bureaucratic wall that is easy on paper, but is hard in reality
That is clearly not what I said but feel free to put words in my mouth. Russian soldiers have invaded this country and should be killed and removed from this country. I will add the word soldiers to my comment above so it is even clearer.
IDK why this should be clarified… but yeah that’s basically the objective of war, or you can establish a proxy government like the US do and get tons of money and resources out of it.
You’re not getting a lot of useful resources immediately out of a war torn region with destroyed infrastructure. It’s not like Ukraine has a ton of money sitting around. Russia is already like 10x the size of Ukraine anyway. What could they possibly get out of such a tiny region?
It is relevant for the intended audience of the article as the way it is written purposefully makes it seem as if this is a new and unacceptable form of punishment for the crime in the West’s eyes.
Independence isn’t considered treason in America; Puerto Rico is currently in a political position of considering independence vs statehood (vs status quo)
I don’t know if I’m really on board with the idea that a pre-genus homo hominid who existed before the concept of clothing existed teaches something about modern human clothing and shame.
As a philosopher, I’m interested in how modern culture influences representations of the past. And the way Lucy has been depicted in newspapers, textbooks and museums may reveal more about us than it says about her.
Those living people I was talking about have been depicted the same ways. They mostly show such people clothed because showing what they actually look like is too much. Even the link I gave, there is one photo where you can see a penis. Every other photo is taken in ways where penises are hidden.
We don’t need to go to a non-human to show examples of this when it’s done to humans who eschew clothing already.
Lucy is a good choice. How scientific renderings of a famous subject show off social shame bleeding into research is more approachable than doing the same thing with relatively obscure modern research subjects.
For the shame aspect you need look no further than religion. Shame is just another in a long line of social constructs designed to allow people who don’t produce anything of value to survive off the labor of those who do.
We started wearing clothes as we evolved to have less hair and expanded across the planet into more varied climates. It’s that simple.
The whole point is that we still don’t know what Lucy actually looked like, and therefore whenever we depict her we are “filling in the blanks” with our own interpretations. In the past, we didn’t know whether she was likely to be covered in hair or not, but almost every depiction showed her covered.
The author of the article, who has a PhD and is the chair of a college’s interdisciplinary humanities department, makes the point that when we exclusively depicted her covered in hair when we didn’t know whether or not she was covered in hair, we were projecting our standards of modesty onto her. We also idealized her as a mother, as exemplifed by her depiction with protective and warm body language toward fictional children and male partners. These are aspects that various artists, researchers, and journalists projected onto a skeleton, not truths about Lucy as an individual.
When it was revealed that Lucy, in fact, was likely not covered in hair, and instead likely walked around naked and uncovered, we did not immediately revise these depictions. They disrupt the previously held projections and interfere with the narrative of Lucy as a “perfect mother” by modern standards-- not because she can’t be both naked and a good mother in an absolute sense, but because these are disparate and conflicting signifiers in our modern society. In essence, it’s harder to solidifiy her illustration as “the mother of all humans” to an audience of modern Westerners if she can’t be depicted with “chastity and modesty”, because we strongly associate those characteristics with good motherhood.
It is, therefore, a media analysis of the depictions of Lucy, it’s not about Lucy herself. It’s about how we project onto Lucy, and what that says about the people doing the projecting.
Of course, humans societies that are alive today are also valuable examples in the process of self reflection. But ignoring the observations made by the author and other researchers is like saying we don’t need to analyze media (books, movies, TV shows) that depict society, because real society is right there!
After a small bidding war Moore won the cloth fragment for $1,300. He decided not to reveal that fact to his wife, Susan Bowen.
“I didn’t want to tell her because then she’s going to ask me, ‘Where’d you get that and how much did you pay for it?’” he said. “It’s hard for me to lie about that.”
Even after the fragment was delivered, he kept it under wraps until his wife’s son was home.
“He thought it was safer to show me when there was somebody else around,” Bowen said.
As someone previously in an abusive relationship, it’s nothing like a sure sign he’s in one but it’s a red flag.
Tell you what it certainly is a "special" military operation considering that it's taken over a year, and at this point requires conscription... An awful lot like if Russia had started a war
