    When you describe sociology as a science which was a mistake committed by Comte, you have to adhere to the same principles which are adopted in Natural or Physical Sciences. That creates a methodological problem.

    Excellent video. A life in a bottle: confused, fearful and stressed, manufactured to be divided. With this kind of ignorance breeding we miss the vital roll cooperation has played in the rise of China. Everyone has benefited from cooperation. Passing on good practice. Without it, we simply can't move forward, progress or evolve.

    Do you truly believe that despotic, tyrannical, neopatrimonial dictatorships have the freedom of their people - whom, let's face it, they treat as the patrimony of the state - when they make their tyrannical, utterly illegitimate "laws"? No law is legitimate, unless it's been made by the people (through their democratically-elected representatives).

    The global south are not 'migrating' to escape 'climate.' What an absurd statement -- as though the 'climate' had *suddenly* become unlivable in the southern hemisphere at some point during the past 20 years. Utter nonsense.They are being brought to Europe and America deliberately by Western governments. The US population did not become majority Mexican in a generation by accident, or as a result of 'climate' (Mexico is no warmer than Arizona). It was done deliberately and maliciously. As an anthropologist/environmentalist, perhaps you have some objective thoughts on this obvious coordinated destruction of the Northern European race and its habitat in Europe and North America. Or are you too cowardly to say the truth. Disgraceful. Your fascination with all things exotic and foreign and with trendy political platitudes has made you a nihilist where the survival of your own culture and people are concerned.
