That's what it's all about. Keeping the elite rich. Although the poor has seen a big rise in their incomes recently. And the economy did take a hit because the General barred women from working. They must be wives and mothers. But the poor's income increased by 5,000 after he sent women home.

I think Tangshan's civil rights and poor's income increased recently because the General abolished serfdom. He did it because the government is republican in nature. No concept of nobility anymore. Although I wonder if serfdom should be brought back. Thoughts?

Bring it back. Gives a sense of the natural hierarchical mentality and social construction of human nature.

incorporate women for the good of the economy but keep wages low so that corporate profit and therefore, accumulation of economic wealth can increase.

Bring back the serfdom.

The way to keep people from organizing and rebelling is to keep them disconnected from one another (for example, have your serfs stick within specific manors with no way of communicating with the other manors) and prevent them from having access to basic services like primary school. I forget who said it (maybe I just imagined it), but literacy is the enemy of any oppressive regime.

Thomas Paine says it best: "When men yield up the exclusive privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon."

And the way to keep men and women from thinking, is to remove their capacity to learn and communicate. Keep them ignorant, and they'll stay docile. Prevent them from discussing their abysmal conditions to one another, and they'll stay disorganized.

I do like to think Hegel's idea about the relationship between an oppressor and the oppressed (Master-Slave Dialectic) to be true, it is possible for an oppressor to stay an oppressor for a very, very long time by preventing the oppressed from knowing anything better.

Desert isn't exclusively for hot environments, just any area that receives very little rain and has a problem with sustaining life. So, the ice caps can be considered deserts too.

But, methinks he was talking about Celsius.

I think another issue is that Jeremy Corbyn is too far left for the majority of the UK and because we have a two-party system unfortunately he's just not going to cut it with the baby boomer generation. It's not because 'the English are too Tory', there's much more to it than that. And I highly disagree with the latter, that's like policing thought, it's not on - voting is a sacramental right to anyone and everyone, once you start taking votes away from people it just gets easier and easier.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say that she's wrong in that the EU is gonna gang up to beat the British.

Ignoring the statement from Merkel about how the EU/Germany won't let anyone take the EU away from them, you run into the fact that people are going to be watching these proceedings to determine exactly how leaving will be handled, which very quickly goes from "Amicable separation" (Which should be the goal, or else one wouldn't have an article for separation) to "I'm going to make you the whipping boy for all separatist sentiment".

Disregarding the semantics of the issue, I have no doubt that Britain will be harmed by this as a warning.

CONCORD!

Almost 4 hours since the polls closed, a quarter of the seats have been called and Labour is up by 7.

That's because the Tories up here are courting the hardcore unionist/Orange vote with the "no referendum" ticket.

It's not that the Tories are completely against a second referendum. It's just that they are against one without "public consent" and before the Brexit negotiations end. They're not courting hardcore unionists when they aren't completely against a second referendum.

Just a word to the wise:

Your military is severely and largely outdated technology, so you might want to revamp it.

The M-103 for example, has less than half the speed of the Leopard two, and is almost certainly much less protected (It's design was before the use of APFSDS) and will have a very weak round compared to more modern tanks due to the pressure rating being higher on more modern barrels and breeches.

I understand you may prefer a semi-retro military, however, the effectiveness of your military is hindered by your tech my dood.

Thank you. I know most of this, and the military is going to go under rapid changes soon.

[nation=short]Magnatronia[/nation] I don't think you should worry about a military response from Concord members, tbh we may only just come up to your borders with really big speakers and scream CONCORD! as loud as we can :D

They are against it. May has said "now is not the time" because she does not want Europeans in Scotland voting in a referendum. Plus, Ruth Davidson has pushed a hardline "no referendum" message and has been courting the Orange vote.

Furthermore, we have public consent. The Scottish Parliament passed the legislation necessary to hold a referendum and the First Minister sent a formal request for one to May but she has ignored the request.

That's intriguing. Sorry if I don't make much sense, but it's just that I don't follow Scottish politics at all.

At least the SNP still hold a majority of Scottish seats. Very disappointed by many Scots voting Tory though. Hope they are proud of themselves. C*nts.

I had heard that the SNP is in disarray now that they've suffered huge losses and lost more than a couple seats.

Alex Salmond says that the SNP will keep going despite the losses, and some articles are already popping up postulating about a Labour-SNP coalition now that it's becoming more and more likely that a hung parliament is going to become a reality.

I wouldn't say the SNP are in disarray. The SNP are the largest party in Scotland. They do have a majority although they did suffer bad losses tonight, including two great MPs (Salmond and Robertson) but they will keep going. And I'd love to see a Labour-SNP coalition or even supply and confidence arrangement to keep the Tories out.

Prime Minister Corbyn.

Has a good ring to it. :P

I really hope Labour forms a coalition with the Lib-Dems and SNP, because they're falling pretty far behind the Tories now. According to the PA, Labour is trailing 42 seats behind the Tories: 289 to 247.

I seriously doubt an SNP-Labour coalition would be realized, though, because Corbyn is really anti-EU, and SNP's Sturgeon has historically held views similar to those favoring Remain.

Labour wont do a coalition with the SNP but I can see some kind of informal agreement happening.

Fingers crossed. Whatever takes away majority/plurality from the Tories is best.
