Could someone correct me in responding to the "Diversity and Ethnocentrism Hate Facts"?
------------------
(Detrimental) Effects of Multiculturalism
What is being controlled for? I would guess that wealth and diversity are related and so diverse poor neighborhoods would indeed have lower social cohesion, but not due to their diversity.
This seems absurd on its face: I will have to read this carefully.
Very promising and enticing title.
What definition is being used for "civic health"?
Sure.
This seems very complex, and we will have to be careful with "X causes Y claims".
I'll have to read this, but: does "ethnocentrism" demonstrated here imply a preference? It seems also that we would have to see how it changes after: does it become somewhat "neutral" or does it become negative? It doesn't seem contradictory for one to start in associating oneself with those around them. Additionally: are there any non-white babies? Is it a comparison between white babies and non-white people, or are there non-white babies compared with non-whites, of their same race and of different races?
Sure.
I'll have to read this to see exactly what is being said, but this seems almost obvious: a dispersal from a dominant group to a spread of groups necessarily leaves them with less than they had. It seems almost tautological that it will affect most the largest group. I have to see what they meant by "hurt".
Is it that those who are able to cause change with their vocalization are instead occupied with their concern for the diversity, and that if they redirected their focus back to the environment that this reduction of concern would disappear?
This seems like a base human instinct that we should seek to overcome rather than fall victim to: there are many things that make humans feel in some way "negative" but that we would never suggest getting rid of.
What does "reduces" mean?
What controls are being made? Richer neighborhoods are more likely to be homogeneous when contrasted with poorer heterogeneous neighborhoods, and so better health may be due to the wealth rather than the homogeneity.
This is perhaps one of the only links here that seems to maybe hold some value (having not yet read it): why is it that diverse cities are also segregated cities?
I can accept this: race is a kind of extended family, but I would not say the only one. Additionally, ethnocentrism in a weak sense is genetically rational.
What is the definition of "friends"?
I could accept this: civil war is precisely war that is inward facing, and altruism in the context of a polity is similarly inward facing. It would seemingly follow then that less civil war and more altruism could be direct byproducts of homogeneity.
What definition is being used for "inequality"? "corruption"? "democracy"?
Sure.
Major Themes
More diverse neighborhoods have lower social cohesion.
A 10% increase in diversity doubles the chance of psychotic episodes. & Diversity increases psychotic experiences. & Diversity increases social adversity.
This is an increase in risk in the minority group. Moreover, it's precisely due to an exclusionary force from the majority. This effect can not only be mitigated by higher group cohesion within the minority group, but less exclusion by the majority force.
> In general, people living in areas of lower own-group density experienced greater social adversity that was in turn associated with reporting psychotic experiences.
> People resident in neighbourhoods of higher own-group density experience ‘buffering’ effects from the social risk factors for psychosis.
Diversity reduces voter registration, political efficacy, charity, and number of friendships. & Ethnic diversity reduces happiness and quality of life.
> In the long run, however, successful immigrant societies have overcome such fragmentation by creating new, cross-cutting forms of social solidarity and more encompassing identities. Illustrations of becoming comfortable with diversity are drawn from the US military, religious institutions, and earlier waves of American immigration.
(CONTINUED)
Great write up, and important things to remember going forward, and when addressing criticism of the system.
After reading this, I had some concerns and thoughts about the Federation, myself. I did a little write-up for my own self-reference, but I'm thinking it might be fruitful to share here.
Don't know whether it'd be considered off topic, but I think this kind of discussion is always useful.
Some of it is a little dated now, and perhaps not entirely relevant to this discussion, but here's what I wrote:
>Firstly, I must state that I found the book enlightening and informative. But particular issues have been playing on mind that I feel should be addressed in order to ensure the democratic confederalist system transcends the paradigm of the war itself, and becomes a legitimate entity in some kind of post-war Syria.
>I find it most appropriate to deal with the individual issues separately, as follows:
>The deification of Abdullah Ocalan - Reading the authors’ observations on democratic confederalism, one of my primary concerns was with the seeming deification of Abdullah Ocalan by Kurdish activists and, more significantly, the YPG/J. The personality cult that seems to exist around Ocalan, in Northern Syria, will only feed critics who denounce the Federation as a ‘Kurdish cult’. Holding Ocalan in such high esteem also contradicts democratic confederalist values of equality between people and a rejection of hierarchy. Even though Ocalan’s importance is primarily spiritual, and his thoughts on the dem-con ideology is inseparable from the project, it risks alienating non-Kurdish elements that might otherwise seek a dialogue with the Federation or see the benefits of entering into a similar confederation.
>PKK ties - Continuing on from my concerns about the deification of Ocalan, another significant obstacle to attracting a wider base of support for the Federation comes from its relationship with the PKK. It is inappropriate to label the YPG, or indeed the PYD (or indeed, TEV-DEM) an ‘arm’ or ‘offshoot’ of the PKK. But it is also impossible to deny that without the PKK the Federation would not exist. PKK affiliates (armed and political) provided logistical support to the early revolutionaries, and earlier councils models in Kurdish Turkey inspired the Syrian council system as it is today. Going forward, the ideal would be for the Federation to denounce all ties to the PKK or, failing that, to distinguish between the PKK’s armed and political wings. Though this is highly unlikely, more must be done to promote the Federations distinctly Syrian identity, to defer from criticism from (primarily) Turkey that the PKK and Federation are one in the same.
>Transparency - Another principle of democratic confederalism is transparency with the people. To this end, regular publication of the canton’s demographics and council makeups may help to dispel criticisms that the Federation is ‘Kurd-dominated’ or ‘Kurd-centric’. Furthermore, the Federation should go above and beyond to promote and publicise inclusion of Arabs within the council system. The Democratic Council might also do well to regularly restate its commitment to a unified Syria. This will help to detract criticisms that the Federations backers are separatists. Also linked to this is the need to be more transparent about actions taken against ENKS. Some inclusion of more Islamist-orientated political parties would also help win over some popular support, in this regard. The Federation's highly secular outlook might prove problematic going forward if it excludes genuinely popular, grassroots Islamist movements.
>Disband all military councils west of Euphrates (with exception of Raqah) - In another move to ease western (primarily Turkish) concern over SDF ‘aggression’, disbanding the Jarablus and al-Bab military councils, as a sign of goodwill, might go some way to improving the Federation’s relations with its neighbours.
>Disband/reorganise Asayish - Centre of most scandals within the Federation, the Asayish are difficult to independently oversee and regulate during wartime. Their arbitrary arrests and lack of transparency provide fertile opportunity for political opponents to claim discrimination. Human Rights Watch notes multiple war crimes accusations made against Asayish. In order to rebuild trust between communities and police, Asayish will need to be replaced, and all members re-organised. Those against whom accusations have been made should be handed over to international courts.
>Education boards - One of my main concerns when reading the book, was that education was too loosely regulated. Whilst it may not be a problem at the moment, without a centralised education system, the education system is vulnerable to subjective influence from a number of groups. The book focuses on the reclamation of ‘Kurdish’ education (Kurdish culture, Kurdish language) and brushes over the wishes of the Arab populations. To this end, more must be done to ensure the impartiality of the education system, and prevent it becoming too influenced by parents. In the west, at least, educational autonomy has proved dangerous as common narratives are allowed to creep into historical paradigms (we are taught what is commonly accepted, not what is necessarily true). Without a radical overhaul of the education system, I would feel the introduction of educational boards (who work with the educational committees) to be the best way of ensuring political neutrality prevails in schooling up to the age of 16.
>Economic agreements w/centralised body - To me, the book’s weakest point is in its assessment of the Federation’s economy. What kind of centralised body will take shape in post-war Syria is yet to be seen, but it will undoubtedly need to develop a relationship with the Federation in regards to oil distribution across the country. An area rich in oil, like Jazyra, again must co-ordinate with a centralised organisation in order to ensure the fair distribution of natural resources to as many civilians as possible. In order to ensure this, the Federation - in any future negotiations - must push for regulations, such as price-capping in future sales, in exchange for oil. This way, natural resources are distributed as evenly as possible, with a safeguard against exploitation by outside bodies.
>For all its strengths, the book fails to really look deeply into how successful the system of governance is. Instead, its authors are too preoccupied with saying how wonderful everything is, without giving us a clue as to how the actual civilians view it. Save for some examples of economic co-operatives (TEV-DEM’s spin on kibbutz, I suppose), the book fails to paint a real portrait of life in the Federation’s cities, aside from its descriptions of the governing system. It also fails to look critically at the system, instead painting opposition with one broad stroke - as though it were one big anti-PYD conspiracy.
If I was going to provide someone with a list of books that best expressed my current thinking on the Political Economy these would be my top ones:
There are, of course many more books that could go on this list. But the above list is a good sampling of my personal philosophy of political economy. It is not meant as a list of books to change your mind but simply as a list of books that are descriptive of my current belief that we should be orientated towards high (sustainable) economic growth & more decentralization.
Some honorable mentions:
As a self proclaimed "Libertarian Crunchy Con" I have to add The Quest for Community & Crunchy Cons
The book The Fourth Economy fundamentally changed my professional direction in life.
Anti-Fragile was another book full of mind blowing ideas and shifted my approach to many things.
The End of Jobs is a great combination of The Fourth Economy & Anti-Fragile (among other concepts) into a more real-world useful set of ideas.
Markets Not Capitalism is a powerful reminder that it is not Capitalism per se that is important but the transformational power of markets that need be unleashed.
You will note that I left out pure economic books, this was on purpose. There are tons of good intro to econ type books and any non-trained economist should read a bunch from a bunch of different perspectives. With that said I am currently working my way through the book Choice and if it stays as good as it has started that will probably get added to my core list.
So many more I could I list like The Left, The Right, & The State or The Problem of Political Authority and on it goes...
I am still looking for a "manifesto" of sorts for the broad movement towards decentralization (I have a few possibilities on my 'to read list') so if you know of any that might fit that description let me know.
Congrats you are doing race.
You carry many assumptions into this it kind of hard to know where to start. First off that those who do not get in with the current tests are lazy. Bam labeled, stored, done. The issue is much much bigger than that. Not to mention the forever long stereotype of lazy blacks/Hispanics and the slacker white boy who has oh so much "potential". The next assumption that is inherent much through all of reddit is that the top smartest people are the ones entitled to the top public education. The divergence is how do you test smart? You can't standardize critical reasoning which is why the standards boards proposed interviews. Back in the USSR they had interviews with professors before you could get into college but after you passed the standardized test. Anything was fair game and for the most part you were given problems you could never solve. The idea was to have a professor look and see at HOW you struggle, see where your brain moves and how fast it gets there as a predictor of possible success. Which yet again brings us to standardized tests that everyone loves to rally against. For the most part the test only measures how well you prepared for the test and in that it is valuable. It shows a student's commitment or ability for rote memorization. Given that k-12 education is nothing but an ever increasing staircase of rote memorization it would certainly seem that a test like that would be apropos. Yet again the issues with both interviews and standard tests lay in who is interpreting them and what they are looking for. Much like colleges it would seem from this article that those high schools that did interviews looked for intangibles that are quite frankly human resources level of bullshit.
Another interesting implication that could be made is that hard work IS merit. That if you work hard enough you deserve to be in these schools. That really ends up being a value call and to be honest when drawing upon such a large student body as that of NYC I would say it really shouldn't be. Hard work as merit is a last resort. Work you can teach, you can force it on the students if they actually want to be there. Merit as a test is something that sits perfectly well in Eastern cultures since the times of bureaucracy exams. Chinese immigrants grew up in a society that has favored exams as a tool for social mobility for longer than America has existed so when asked to take an exam for social mobility do you not think that it in some way favors them? Shit Chinese public school are even more competitive with even more rigorous exams and let's not even get started on the rigors of the Japanese college entrance exams.
This is what I feel you and the writer and a lot of people are missing in your definition of bias and something the city is trying to bring up. First off that everything is biased but that entrance exams are also very skewed not necessarily towards wealth but to certain cultures. In first generation immigrants like those described in this article I feel that this exam taking culture could still be very well alive depending on country of origin because honestly you can't just say Asian...it doesn't work at all to describe the multitude of different countries. Filipino and Vietnamese people are almost nothing like the Chinese in their culture and ways but yet you can throw them into one group and say they're good at ____.
Absolutely. Any time you want confirmation of a statement, just ask.
Harvard professor of political science Robert D. Putnam conducted a nearly decade long study how multiculturalism affects social trust. He surveyed 26,200 people in 40 American communities, finding that–when the data were adjusted for class income and other factors–the more racially diverse a community is, the greater the loss of trust. People in diverse communities “don’t trust the local mayor, they don't trust the local paper, they don't trust other people and they don’t trust institutions,” writes Putnam. In the presence of such ethnic diversity, Putnam maintains that “…we hunker down. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it’s not just that we don’t trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don’t trust people who do look like us.
Even Halyard knows this is all a pile of “feel good” shit. Like a religion, it relies on persecuting those who don’t agree to keep itself mainstream thought.
After the study was released, Putnam was intimidated and harassed because he was accused of helping racists. He later came out and gave a very vague statement saying diversity “had problems but was worth it in the long run” to keep these morons appeased. This statement gives no indication of the “long run” and, in fact, is not quantified by anything.

According to conflict theory, distrust between ethnic groups rises with diversity, but not within a group. Putnam describes people of all races and socioeconomic statuses, ages, and both sexes as “hunkering down,” avoiding engagement with their local community–both among different ethnic groups and within their own ethnic group. Even when controlling for income inequality and crime rates–two factors which conflict theory states should be the prime causal factors in declining interethnic group trust–more diversity is still associated with less communal trust.
Putnam’s study was published in 2001. Genetic cluster analysis of the micro satellite markers produced four major clusters, which showed near perfect correspondence with the four self-reported race/ethnicity categories. Of 3636 subjects, only 5 (0.14%) showed genetic cluster membership different from their self-identified race/ethnicity. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15625622

Good Fences: The Importance of Setting Boundaries for Peaceful Coexistence
Alex Rutherford, Dion Harmon, Justin Werfel, Shlomiya Bar-Yam, Alexander Gard-Murray, Andreas Gros, Yaneer Bar-Yam
We consider the conditions of peace and violence among ethnic groups, testing a theory designed to predict the locations of violence and interventions that can promote peace. Characterizing the model’s success in predicting peace requires examples where peace prevails despite diversity. Switzerland is recognized as a country of peace, stability, and prosperity. This is surprising because of its linguistic and religious diversity that in other parts of the world lead to conflict and violence. Here we analyze how peaceful stability is maintained. Our analysis shows that peace does not depend on integrated coexistence, but rather on well-defined topographical and political boundaries separating groups. Mountains and lakes are an important part of the boundaries between sharply defined linguistic areas. Political canton and circle (sub-canton) boundaries often separate religious groups.
Where such boundaries do not appear to be sufficient, we find that specific aspects of the population distribution either guarantee sufficient separation or sufficient mixing to inhibit intergroup violence according to the quantitative theory of conflict. In exactly one region, a porous mountain range does not adequately separate linguistic groups and violent conflict has led to the recent creation of the canton of Jura. Our analysis supports the hypothesis that violence between groups can be inhibited by physical and political boundaries. A similar analysis of the area of the former Yugoslavia shows that during widespread ethnic violence, existing political boundaries did not coincide with the boundaries of distinct groups, but the peace prevailed in specific areas where they did coincide. The success of peace in Switzerland may serve as a model to resolve conflict in other ethnically diverse countries and regions of the world.

Good Fences: The Importance of Setting Boundaries for Peaceful Coexistence
Alex Rutherford, Dion Harmon, Justin Werfel, Shlomiya Bar-Yam, Alexander Gard-Murray, Andreas Gros, Yaneer Bar-Yam
We consider the conditions of peace and violence among ethnic groups, testing a theory designed to predict the locations of violence and interventions that can promote peace. Characterizing the model’s success in predicting peace requires examples where peace prevails despite diversity. Switzerland is recognized as a country of peace, stability, and prosperity. This is surprising because of its linguistic and religious diversity that in other parts of the world lead to conflict and violence. Here we analyze how peaceful stability is maintained. Our analysis shows that peace does not depend on integrated coexistence, but rather on well-defined topographical and political boundaries separating groups. Mountains and lakes are an important part of the boundaries between sharply defined linguistic areas. Political canton and circle (sub-canton) boundaries often separate religious groups.
Where such boundaries do not appear to be sufficient, we find that specific aspects of the population distribution either guarantee sufficient separation or sufficient mixing to inhibit intergroup violence according to the quantitative theory of conflict. In exactly one region, a porous mountain range does not adequately separate linguistic groups and violent conflict has led to the recent creation of the canton of Jura. Our analysis supports the hypothesis that violence between groups can be inhibited by physical and political boundaries. A similar analysis of the area of the former Yugoslavia shows that during widespread ethnic violence, existing political boundaries did not coincide with the boundaries of distinct groups, but the peace prevailed in specific areas where they did coincide. The success of peace in Switzerland may serve as a model to resolve conflict in other ethnically diverse countries and regions of the world.

They’re elsewhere in the thread, reposted here now.

Of course they are. That’s why you lash out at unquestionable fact.

You’re running away without substantiating your claims. You think that “NUH UH YOU RACIST I SAY SO LOL I WIN NOW” is an argument.
FREE YOURSELF FROM YOUR MADNESS. Read what I have posted. Ask ANY questions you like. Give it to your coworkers; repost any of THEIR questions.
You MUST see this. You will see it or you will be MADE to see it, and I don’t want you to be MADE to see it. You should come to it of your own volition.
The Soul of Man Under Socialism by Oscar Wilde -- an introduction to libertarian socialism, a foreign topic to most people ("isn't that, like, an oxymoron?") but pretty rewarding and interesting once you get into it.
If you care about current events (and this one is highly important), you can read about what's going on in Rojava, in Northern Syria. To understand the character of what they're doing there and their social revolution you can read Murray Bookchin and Abdullah Ocalan. They've both written a lot but it doesn't take much to understand the gist of their ideas and, more importantly, how they're being applied right now in Rojava. Democratic confederalism is the name of the specific system at work in Rojava.
Books I can recommend that have to do with the above:
A Small Key Can Open A Large Door: Rojava Revolution
Rojava: An Alternative to Imperialism, Nationalism, and Islamism in the Middle East
To Dare Imagining: Rojava Revolution
Revolution in Rojava: Democratic Autonomy and Women's Liberation in Syrian Kurdistan
Most everything on this list
War and Peace in Kurdistan
Democratic Confederalism
Obviously that's a fairly dense list. You don't have to read all those. But I do suggest you at least look into Rojava and the ideology behind it on a basic level, as in my opinion it's one of the most important developments in the world right now and it's fascinating to see the application of democratic confederalism, autonomous self-organization, ethnic and religious plurality, and women's liberation on such an impressive scale.
On the topic of movies, it just so happens that there are a number of Rojava documentaries which might help you gain a basic understanding of what it's like there. You can find plenty by looking up "Rojava documentary". Here's a good one. This is the most recent, I believe.
Good studies!
I'll preface this by saying you're not actually arguing against what I'm saying as opposed to what you wish I was saying, it is a bit frustrating.
I never said Europe was multi-racial before the 19th century, simply that race wasn't a factor as much, and that the concept of whiteness didn't exist. Take for example Spain. Spaniards were considered both Spaniards and Christians, that was how they were defined. It didn't really matter that they had a duskier skin tone. Same thing with Sicilians and Neapolitans.
>Your point about these few that served in leadership positions (name one after the collapse of Rome and before the 19th century) once again does not dispprove my point at all. They were exceptions, not the norms. They were a tiny percentage of the population.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas-Alexandre_Dumas
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Petrovich_Gannibal (Pushkin's ancestor to boot)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_de%27_Medici,_Duke_of_Florence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estevanico
There's more. Of course they weren't the majority, they're nowhere close to be even today, and it's unlikely it'll change for some time yet. But the fact is that physical appearance wasn't that big of a deal if you had skills and ideas to offer.
>The idea that a shared identity wasn't facilitated by a shared appearance is ridiculous. Our whole system in Europe between the fall of Rome and the modern era had one of its most basic pillars on the concept of continuity of generations. From King to peasant, the idea of family and inheritance was central. [...]
I never argued against this, merely that religion, origin and allegiance were far more important determinants. If you were black or moorish back then, sure you got some odd looks and you'd always be apart and special, but there wasn't that racialist bent you find in the 19th century. You weren't considered necessarily "inferior" and generally monarchs welcomed strangers to their court, using their skills and cultural innovations to improve their realm. Examples could be Peter the Great travelling around Europe to learn shipbuilding, the Austrians adopting (or at least popularising) coffee after the Battle of Vienna, where large Ottoman stocks were seized and so on and so forth. And this is just in a European context, there's many more examples elsewhere of successful cultural integration.
>[...] To put it down to what you say would deny the existence of nations in the first place. We would all become some generic and bland culture, with no heart or sole, no sense of inclusiveness that builds the nation.
If you're interested in how nations form, I strongly suggest reading the following:
Benedict Anderson, Imagined Communities
Ernest Gellner, Nations and Nationalism
*Anthony D. Smith, Ethno-Symbolism and Nationalism: A cultural approach
Please don't think I'm just title dropping, but nations and nationalism happen to be topics close to my heart, and in academia, the essentialist approach has been largely discredited. The three authors above present a range of opinions that could interest you. I personally prefer Anthony Smith combined with a conflict driven approach to the formation of nations (basically, nations form because they encounter other nations and thus define themselves in comparison to them. I can expand more on this in another post.)
>No, it is well established amongst the elite in Europe. The majority of people in Europe want reduced immigration. Wanting immigration is really at this point an extremist idea.
I'm not saying that people do not debate whether or not there should be less or more immigrants, merely that almost no one is advocating closing the borders and taking in no immigrants at all. After all, unless natality rates rise across the West, we will have to keep "importing" immigrants.
>And if we accept mass non-white immigration, then we can say good bye to that. Any invasion breaks the continuity of generation (as I noted, there remains an issue with the British identity as a result of the Anglo-Saxon invasion), but one which leaves such a visible break is bound to bring an end to nations.
I disagree, it merely means that the British identity will change. Strangely enough in Canada we don't seem to have half the issues you have with your ethnic immigration, and we are basically a nation of immigrants, many of which are non-white.
>As I say, the biological fact of race is irrelevant. It is the pysical appearance. Europe has always been white. We might be about to see a huge upheaval in the demographics of our continent, and with that will come and end to our continuous and historic culture, just as happened with the collapse of Rome.
And this is the thing. You don't actually disagree with this point. You know this will change culture, to the point at which it is unrecognisable. It will be something new. The difference is, I don't want this to happen, and you do.
Okay, this is the point where I explain my actual position, which I've alluded to in my earlier posts. Having discussed Rome, I think I clearly highlighted the difference between taking small bits of culture from different people here and there and using them to enhance your own culture (Republic-Early Empire) versus uncontrolled hordes of migrants rampaging through your territory (late empire). One does not lead necessarily to the other.
The original topic was about small enclaves (Chinatowns) and the integration of small parts of other cultures to enhance the dominant culture.
This is what I support: Limited immigration with an open-minded policy, in order to create the best culture possible, while maintaining the historical and cultural heritage (especially the language) of the dominant culture.
I never said mass immigration was desirable. On the other hand I did take a historical perspective by saying that given the current rates of immigration and the increase of mixed marriages, the British culture in a few decades/centuries will look very different than it does now, and might even not be majority white as opposed to mixed. It's just how things are, as our world becomes more inter-connected, boundaries become more malleable, especially with communication technologies.
Finally, we should see other cultures as potential sources of wealth. Take what is good for us, then leave the rest. We're already doing it daily. Look at all the sushi shops around, hell, Manchester even has a Curry Mile (though I believe Curry was invented in Britain by Indian immigrants, correct me if I'm wrong there). Shisha bars, alcohols from everywhere around the world, world litterature etc...
I am not very knowledgeable about Argentina but as a Venezuelan that's currently researching my country's history in depth, in particular economic history, I may be able to answer about it.
To understand Venezuela, you must understand its oil industry. By the turn of the 20th century, Venezuela was politically unstable and heavily indebted. A civil war and skirmishes with local caudillos made the country a hot mess to rule over, and political and economical growth was going slowly.
Enter Juan Vicente Gomez. Second-in-command for President Cipriano Castro, he seized power from him in 1908 as the latter went abroad for surgery. And until his death in 1935, he oversaw the change from a crop-based economy to an oil-exporting one, and it would remain as such till today. He was the first one to direct the oil revenues to modernization and infrastructure development, while taking a large cut for himself and his cronies. The concession-based model for mining and oil extraction that would last until the 1970s, along with minuscule taxation, allowed the foreign companies to take abroad most of the profits from the oil.
Although the Natives and Spaniards knew about the presence of oil beneath the surface thanks to oil seeps, industrial drilling did not take place until the 1910s, due to an increased demand from industrialization and the advent of the internal combustion engine. And in 1922, the oil well Barroso II blew out, spewing a hundred thousand barrels of oil per day for nine days into the air, which was a wonderful PR move by the oil to announce its bountiful presence, and a beacon for foreign companies (i.e. Shell, Esso, British Petroleum) to start large-scale drilling and, soon, refining. In less than a decade, Venezuela would become the third largest oil producer, and largest exporter, in the world.
As mentioned before, the State did not really partake on this bonanza, making most of its income by selling concessions to drill. Political pressures towards democracy and a fair share of the revenues had to wait until Gomez's death in 1935. The country began a slow transition towards democracy and in 1943, it was codified into Law that the State would receive half of the profits from the oil industry. An even bigger share meant larger projects, and with the advent of the first truly democratic government of Romulo Gallegos in 1948, the country was already planning or working on massive public projects: Caracas' University City, housing and government offices, industrial development, bridges...
Around this time, a military government by Marcos Perez Jimenez took hold, ruling between 1952-1958. Oil revenue was essentially unchanged, but modernization and development became a matter of prestige and national security. Also around this time, there was a serious discussion on what to do with the oil revenue. Ultimately the "Sowing the Oil" concept, developed by Arturo Uslar Pietri, dominated. That means that the best way to invest the oil revenue was to invest in the people and the country; via the aforementioned massive public projects but also funding public education, healthcare, and culture, as well as working to export refined goods and not crude oil, and invest on other industries (most notably steel).
By 1961, with democracy properly restored, the country was prosperous.
A few years before, the Venezuelan Bolivar was the highest valued currency in the world.^^1 A welfare state was in place, ensuring the oil revenues were distributed among the people. Politically, a two-party system took hold, which did not allow for much change. And collusion between the parties, as well as the ridiculous amount of state revenue, allowed corruption and inefficiency to flourish. But as long as the oil kept flowing, this could be maintained, and the people were happy.In 1976, oil was fully nationalized, and PDVSA, the State's oil company, began operations. Venezuela was known at this time as the "Saudi Venezuela", with a high quality of life and an enviable position in Latin America. But shortly thereafter, in the 1980s oil glut, coupled with mismanagement, inefficiency, and corruption, as well as a political desire to keep the welfare state in place, led to bad fiscal and economic policies such as devaluing and fixing an exchange price for the Bolivar and ballooning public debt. The system was unsustainable, and the situation worsened until the nation required a bailout from the IMF. This proved wildly unpopular, and led to massive protests, two coup attempts and an impeachment and, ultimately, inflation and worsening economic conditions that led to the rise of Hugo Chavez in 1998.
This basically covers 20th century Venezuela. I highly recommend watching the three-part El Reventon documentary about the Venezuelan oil history, if you can find it in English. For a more general Latin American woes, including Argentina, Open Veins of Latin America is great for history, but... iffy on economic theory. For a more economic view, Guide for the Perfect Latin American Idiot is a direct counter for the economic theory on that book, and I believe the two ought to be read together.
I am a white, feminist, woman artist/academic who does activist art in solidarity with social movements, including Black Lives Matter and immigration activists in my city. For me the key is solidarity. Solidarity is based on mutuality and accountability across difference, on disrupting the idea that you (as a white person) know best, challenging power dynamics that influence knowledge (and art) production and reception, and so on. As a primer, I'd recommend reading a little bit about how feminists of color think about solidarity. This body of writing has really important insights about the do's and don't's of white feminists when representing, or working with communities of color, and it'd likely be very relevant to your concerns about doing art that is meaningful and not appropriative (or worse, violent). One recommendation is Chandra Mohanty's writings on solidarity (e.g. her book "Feminism Beyond Borders"). \
Anyway, if I am doing art that is not speaking to political issues, or that isn't about racism/colonialism or that isn't borrowing stylistically from other cultural groups, I generally feel fairly free to do/make/sell what I want. However, if I am doing art that is about race, state violence, colonialism, etc, I feel there is a very different ethical imperative to avoid the harms you're concerned about. Here are a few key things I'd recommend thinking about when doing that work:
I know that was a long answer. The point is, there are ways to do this, but do your homework, be thoughtful, be careful, and do the work in solidarity with communities of color whose stories are implicated in your work. Feel free to PM me if you want to know more about the specific way I've navigated this--it's something I've written about, but I don't want to share the full article here.
> We build section 8 homes and they simply produce more crime in good neighborhoods.
Much like how a nation is not created by its land or borders, but the people with a shared heritage and culture who inhabit it, it's not the section 8 homes: it's the people living in them.
And this is where I diverge with the rest of /r/the_donald, so please excuse me.
You'll also notice that the crime in Chicago, like anywhere else, heavily corresponds with race. I can't access sources right now, but if you removed non-whites from Chicago, something like 90% of murders would disappear overnight. Being a minority of the population, yet committing a super majority of violent crime, is damning to say the least.
Oh btw I actually did find some source material in my comment history you may find interesting:

I've noticed several people ITT wondering at why an African woman would make a film that seemingly offers no advantage to her (or even puts her and other African women at a disadvantage) dating-wise.
It's also possible this documentary may not have been made with the intention of promoting black men with asian women, but it happened anyway because quite a few of these men do end up with locals.
But this phenomenon being described - women of other groups recommending non-asian men to find asian women, definitely happens too.
If you look on Lily Petals World's videos (A Korean youtuber now married to an African man from Kenya), especially the ones about why she loves black men, you'll see even a few black american women in the comments encouraging her and saying how cute it is.
Maybe such women just have a very low mateguarding instinct; either they are simply used to seeing men dating out (I hear this is a common experience for African-American women) and accept it, or don't see it as a threat to themselves, like if they were also desired due to a racial fetish (As could be the case with the filmmaker).
A lot of people (not referring to you guys ofc) tend to assume that Africa is home to a monolithic entity of black people. Even some black americans think this way (usually afrocentrists) but this is most assuredly not the case. There is division and even tension amongst Africa's various nations, racial and ethnic groups.
The creator of this film is an East African Somali. Apparently East African women fetishise West African men (Particularly Nigerians) and vice versa. Who knows, she could even be seeing a West African man in China. This may be of help explaining why she made such a documentary.
Nigerian forum discussing dating Somalis. The general consensus seems to be that Somali men with Nigerian women is not as common for cultural reasons, yet the opposite happens frequently in places where the two populations intermingle (e.g. The US). One poster remarks that Somalis and other Horn Africans are like the "Asians of Africa" (because apparently their penises are tiny):

This also happens with women from neighbouring Ethiopia. Usually it's Ethiopian women who are praised for their lighter features:

Some Somalis also have creation myths about Arab men coming to Somalia from the Gulf and starting local clans by intermarrying with Somali women.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habr_Awal
>Sheikh Isaaq Bin Ahmed was one of the Arabian scholars that crossed the sea from Arabia to the Horn of Africa to spread Islam around 12th to 13th century. He is said to have been descended from Prophet Mohammed's daughter Fatimah. Hence the Sheikh belonged to the Ashraf or Sada, titles given to the descendants of the prophet. He married two local women in Somalia that left him eight sons, one of them being Abdirahman (Awal). The descendants of those eight sons are the what is known as Isaaq clan today.

There's even more where that came from, but you should probably just take the L and move on.

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that there are significant biological differences depending on one's race. If you can get a sample of someone's DNA, it is relatively easy to determine their race using principal component analysis. If you were to sample the DNA of numerous individuals, and then make a PCA chart, you'll see significant clustering consistent with biological races. Below is a chart from an extensive study of biological differences that arose from geographical separation. The further apart the colored dots appear, the more disparate the genetic differences are.

As a bonus, here's another study done that analyzed the genetic data of 3,636 people. Similar results were found within the statistics. Link
Race is definitely not just a social construct. It exists within a person's genes and shows within their biology. If you give a skilled forensic anthropologist a skeleton, they are able to determine that person's race fairly easily. Even relatively loose racial associations, such as Hispanics can be determined with above average accuracy.
The biological differences extend further than just the skin or even just the skeletons and genetic makeup. Scientists have found significant differences within biological processes, such as the nervous system, between different races. In the chart I am about to show you, the races that there primarily studied were Africans, Europeans, East Asians. There was much variation that was found within their nervous systems.

If we used the taxonomic standards that we use for animals, Homo Sapiens would have multiple subspecies. Regardless of whether or not humans can reproduce across racial boundaries, there subspecies of animals, such as different subspecies of lions and bears that can do such a thing to.

Now a common myth that you may have heard is that people have more differences within their own race than outside their own race. This is a common mistake that is known as Lewontin's Fallacy, also known as Lewontin's Paradox. Basically, such a statement is only accurate when you examine the frequency of different alleles at an individual locus, which gives one a very inaccurate picture of true differences between any sort of genetic populations. When scientists analyze different races while accounting for and analyzing many loci, the results are entirely different.
Chart
Link to official scientific study
Another frequently perpetuated myth is that IQ and crime can be better associated with social class than race. This is another common myth, understandably so. However, several studies across the decades, even some of the more recent ones still suggest that even when one accounts for economic factors, social factors, educational factors, parenting factors, etc. there are still is a gap that persists. There is quite a bit of scientific data to back it up, I will post additional charts and the studies that back them up.

You're a clever guy. Being of mixed race can be very confusing in the US because race itself is such a complex subject. This book helped me a bit, but there's a lot of stuff to disagree with in it: http://www.amazon.com/American-Mixed-Race-Culture-Microdiversity/dp/0847680134
I especially disliked the last article, but I felt some of the earlier articles were very useful in deconstructing race as a whole.
When it comes to race/ethnicity, it's kinda a personal thing, but it's also a how strangers react thing. white people tend to treat is as an heirloom thing.
note: I am not a black lady, so my opinion is not the one you're looking for. I'm just here because this is the best forum on reddit. everyone is really super nice and really insightful and it's really the only truly safe space I've found on reddit.
Usually with enthnographies, the academic either lives among the communities and makes observations or keeps asking questions until someone talks to them. It helps them tremendously to make friends and gain people's trust.
That board also brings into question if the island was real, which this Wikipedia article clears up. The island's true name was Inisheer, stylized as "Inis Beag" for the resident's privacy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inis_Beag
I haven't read the actual ethnography essay, which is 34 pages long and don't know who he cites for his info, but it does come with 2 pages of references. It would be pretty rare to publish an ethnography without any evidence whatsoever. Considering the number of sexual health and sexology books that reference it, I have to assume there must be some merit. I would be very interested to read it, but it's hard to find a digital copy without paying.
http://ehrafworldcultures.yale.edu/ehrafe/citation.do?method=citation&forward=browseAuthorsFullContext&id=er06-017
He also did a longer study of the island that was 136 pages.
https://www.amazon.com/Inis-Beag-John-C-Messenger/dp/0881330515/ref=pd_sim_14_1/145-2609404-5587267?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0881330515&pd_rd_r=1CZWPNFV2T0ARQF8N47G&pd_rd_w=okO2G&pd_rd_wg=zmLDd&psc=1&refRID=1CZWPNFV2T0ARQF8N47G
All it takes is 5-10 people of different statuses/ages to accurately describe the cultural practices of a homogeneous 300. It's essentially a large tribe.
Also, this was in the 1950s/60s before the island had electricity or running water. No idea what it's like now, it'd be great to have an AMA from someone who lives there currently.
I believe it.
Hey buddy, thx for the tip about dictionaries, I'm glad you know how to use them.
But to try to burst my bubble (and maybe learn something about the concepts of ethnicity and/or ethnic groups), you should check out some of these other small books first:
-https://books.google.pt/books/about/Ethnicity.html?id=jYsYJSDXflYC&redir_esc=y
-https://www.amazon.co.uk/Race-Ethnicity-Basics-Peter-Kivisto/dp/0415773741
-https://www.amazon.com/Ethnicity-Oxford-Readers-John-Hutchinson/dp/0192892746
-https://books.google.pt/books/about/The_Ethnicity_Reader.html?id=9yBQtExDppkC&redir_esc=y
To jumpstart, and I'm not even kidding, just try to read the introduction to "ethnic groups and boundaries", by Frederick Barth: the text is from 1969, and it's absolutely seminal on nowadays' understanding of ethnic group formation and, above all, ethnic group persistence in time. (link to pdf: http://www.bylany.com/kvetina/kvetina_etnoarcheologie/literatura_eseje/2_literatura.pdf)
If you wanna go further down this road, check "ethnicity without groups", by Rogers Brubaker: the best modern critical thinking around ethnicity and group formation, IMO. (link to pdf: https://is.muni.cz/el/1423/podzim2015/SOC587/um/Brubaker_Ethnicity_without_Groups.pdf)
Now, lets move on to the next part of your comment. I did love the end of it. The part where you assume I have a bachelor's degree (IF I even managed to graduate yet, ofc - 'cause I'm so dumb) is nice.
But the best part is that amazing scientific lesson you gave us all: "Since the beginning of life animals have had hunting grounds they fought for, later evolved to humans with specific racial, social traits with country borders."
Seriously, I am thinking about printing this and framing it.
Thx a bunch, bud. I should start making calls, because entire academic fields will disappear and universities will close down: you just solved social science AND evolutionary science in a single sentence!
Finally, I just want to clear this up for ya, buddy: I do not have any spanish comments, and the fact that you think that I'm mexican (and that what I wrote in my reddit's history is spanish) says a lot more about your ignorance than it says about me.
Cheers
Sure, friend

Missed this one. I'm curious now, but his right and decision not to keep it up. Guessing he judged it as having a bit too much Id once he cooled off.
He seems to really want this adversarial collaboration with Robinson, but why not in the interest of charity also check out some more disparate thinkers, especially on racial questions he's engaging with anyway?
I know he's recently reviewed Chomsky and Foucault, but maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to read some non-white male leftist theorists like Robinson recommends. I hate to go totally racial-gender-identity-quota, but the only nonfiction book written by a woman I remember him reviewing was Elizabeth Warren's almost four years ago. He wrote this about getting older late last year:
>3. Less trust in any specific system, more resignation to the idea that anything useful requires a grab bag of intuitions, heuristics, and almost-unteachable skills.
>4. More willingness to assume that other people are competent in aggregate in certain ways, eg that academic fields aren’t making incredibly stupid mistakes or pointlessly circlejerking in ways I can easily detect.
> 5. More willingness to believe that power (as in “power structures” or “speak truth to power”) matters and infects everything.
And to me that suggests he might be more amenable than he used to be to reading and reviewing something like Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race?
Edit: he reviewed Hannah Arendt, too.
I'd say it's not an inherently leftist value at all, but the left definitely does a better job at mobilizing and implementing new urbanism ideas.
I've seen quite a bit of pushback against the neoconservative suburb-loving mainstream figures on the right, and lots of academics (such as writers at First Things, various authors at the Front Porch Republic and the signatories behind "Against the Dead Consensus") have worked to make the right more friendly to the conservative benefits that come from well planned cities.
Robert Nesbit is a great resource for this. He began as a leftist but eventually came to intellectual conservatism, specializing in human sociology. This is key.
His book "Quest for Community " argues that the rise of the powerful modern state has eroded the sources of community—the family, the neighborhood, the church, the guild. Alienation and loneliness inevitably resulted. One of his solutions to this alienation is for things simply be done on a human scale. Neighborhoods, streets, towns, all need to consider first and foremost the necessity of human connection and localism, and the goods that come from them. This could mean having wider sidewalks, taking the car out of the city, etc.
Same goes for Leon Krier. Began as a modernist with liberal tendencies and saw that a traditional urban setting was far more conducive to human flourishing than modernism or suburbia.
The list goes on and on. One of the key trends I've noticed amongst pro-New Urbanism individuals on the right is the split between conservatism and traditionalism. You are much more likely to find the oil money, suburb loving, trickle down/anti-urbanism economics amongst neoconservatives and other mainstream republicans.
They are acceptable, but the marriages themselves are arranged. About the extramarital sex thing, in the book I read about them it was definitely not acceptable (and only practiced in secret) after marriage, but common and freely practiced before marriage.
Anyway, the !Kung are really interesting because they led this lifestyle up until the 70s and were researched by several anthropologists who lived with them for years.
If you're interested this book offers an amazing insight into the lives and society of a hunter gatherer people.
Here's a slightly different article on gender, too.
>do you have any book recommendations
To be honest, I'm not much of a book person. I have far more online resources than print ones, though I'm still pretty bad at remembering to bookmark things after I read them.
Tim Wise generally does a good job describing racial privilege, and he's got a couple speeches available on youtube (for example) and a book out (which I admittedly haven't read, but I'd expect it to be fairly okay based on his speeches that I've seen), but he doesn't specifically tackle intersectionality as far as I know.
This question would probably make a very good selfpost, since it's unlikely that many people will follow this conversation the whole way, and other subscribers will likely have better book lists handy.

The rest, blah blah, Trump voters are le stupid and Clinton voters enlightened, as posted in liberal rags. Neat. I wonder why Clinton won handily with illiterates and Trump with higher income groups? I guess because obviously getting a bunch of useless degrees means you're smarter and so much better than the people actually making money.
Also what's interesting is all these sooper smart college kids who say the right things about race are secretly as racist as anyone else:

>Promoting diversity if only for the sake of promoting diversity is recognized objectively as an inherent good. Being exposed to a diversity of people and ideas helps widen your own perspective and in general be a more aware and thoughtful citizen.

Disclaimer, I dislike Identity Politics and I think white Identity Politics is the most pernicious. I was kind of hesitant to share this as I didn't want people to think its some sort of nod of approval of Identity politics... But this bit of research is pretty interesting Hope you find it so as well.
>Ashley Jardina is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Duke University. Her research explores the nature of racial attitudes, the development of group identities, and the way in which these factors influence political preferences and behavior. She is primarily interested in how Americans are responding to increasing diversity, and her current project explores the conditions under which white racial identification and white consciousness among white Americans is a salient and significant predictor of policies, candidates, and attitudes toward racial and ethnic groups. She is also interested in the study of gender and politics. Her dissertation won the 2015 American Political Science Association award for the best dissertation in race and ethnic politics.
>
>Ashley recently published a new book, White Identity Politics, that “offers a landmark analysis of emerging patterns of white identity and collective political behavior, drawing on sweeping data.” In this episode Ashley speaks with Chris about her book, and how she found contrasting attitudes between white people in America who identify with their race and white people who don’t. She also explains how previous generations of political scientists have been mistaken in conflating the issue of racial prejudice and the issue of identity when explaining the politics of white Americans.

Lol I don't have to engage every internet stranger asshole who condescends to me. I'd never get work done. The fact you're quoting the UN at me is concerning though. I know they position themselves as a neutral global mediator, but in practice they function to advance the interests of powerful capitalist countries and their policies. Fuck the United Nations. You have to be a lot more critical of the info coming out of Rojava. It's a warzone, they are communists, and almost every global power has an interest in spinning any news on the conflict. Here's an article that shows an example of the disinfo I'm talking about.
In addition, your understanding of the political power structure is highly reductive. This book is a good place to start (used to be a free version to pirate but I can't find it now). The governing system there is complex and the dynamics are fluid. It's also complicated by an ongoing wartime situation. Democratic Confederalism is a theoretical system being implemented for the first time, and they acknowledge the struggle of transitioning from traditional culture to a progressive one under these conditions. That doesn't mean I'm/they're wrong, it certainly doesn't mean you're right.
Anyway cut that "drink the kool aid / i'm here to teach you something" attitude. There's clearly so much on this situation you don't know, and you're so up your own ass that you thought UN and Wikipedia made you look smart. And then telling me I'm whacking off to party rhetoric when you're endorsing info from the mouthpiece of our global ruling class. Thoughtless.
Thank you for linking this. The parent comment to yours was at the top of this thread when I started reading the comments, so your link to the transcript of the NPR interview with Daryl Davis was the first information about him that I had ever consumed. What a story! My jaw dropped a couple times, I said "Wow," out loud at least three times, and I almost cried at one point.
This man's story deserves to be heard around the world. It makes me want to be a better person, and attempt to be even a little bit as brave and respectful of other human beings whose viewpoints clash with mine, as this man is. I'm definitely going to check out his book, "Klan-Destine Relationships," and the Netflix documentary that was linked in the parent comment.
*Edit: Well, I guess I won't be reading "Klan-Destine Relationships" any time soon, if the cheapest version (paperback, used) is $99!
Enlightening read! Thanks. FYI this author has a good book if y'all are interested. Moral Combat: Black Atheists, Gender Politics, and the Values Wars. :D
I took the Duolingo Russian course for shits and giggles and cleared it in a couple of days via those 'take a shortcut' options. It's an OK introduction to the language but unfortunately won't get you very far. The problem with apps like these is that they only give you a narrow peak into the language and test what you've learned in a very discrete and limited way. That, and the quality of their limited material kind of sucks sometimes.
I'd start with a basic textbook, this is the one I used in college. You can probably find a used one for a reasonable price. Though I used it in conjunction with a class professor, It's formatted incredibly well and comes with a CD, so self-use shouldn't be too difficult. If you're looking to spend zero money, I stumbled upon this youtube channel with some decent instruction. If you want to stay mobile, I'd recommend the app Memsize over duolingo due to the shear volume of content they have available in comparison.
You can also, of course, ask for help in this sub. There user base here is incredibly kind and helpful. Feel free to ask me anything of you want as well.
SPOILERS: When you complete the Duolingo course all the app gives you is a crappy bird medal on the bottom of your lessons list.
Here are some examples of how diversity lowers quality of life for everyone. "Diversity is a strength" is a lie and an empty platitude that's been pushed on the country for the last couple decades and people now regurgitate it mindlessly because they've heard it so many times. In reality, homogeneity is strength, diversity is a weakening agent.

If you want to understand racists, read one of the really great critical scholarly histories of their movement, some of the rich political psychology work on white identity and racial attitudes, or work on the politics of ethnocentrism. All of these will help you understand real white bigotry and white nationalism in the world, and crucially none of them is white-nationalist propaganda that claims something wild like that white nationalism is some kind of perfectly valid alternative interpretive frame for looking at consensus reality.
There are two questions in play here. First, what is the worth of culture? Second, should the state institute policies which assist cultural minorities with preserving their cultural particularity? This second issue is the issue of multiculturalism. Defenses of multiculturalism will always point to the value of culture. So, learning more about the second issue will help you address the first as well. If you are serious about learning more about multiculturalism, I highly recommend that you start with Will Kymlicka's [Multicultural Citizenship] (http://www.amazon.com/Multicultural-Citizenship-Liberal-Minority-Political/dp/0198290918/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333746069&sr=8-1). This book will give you an idea of why it may be important to institute policies which help to preserve culture, but it will also clearly identify the limits of multiculturalism.
Edit: I'd also recommend Okin's ["Is Multiculturalism Bad for Women?"] (http://www.bostonreview.net/BR22.5/okin.html). [Here] (http://www.bostonreview.net/BR22.5/kymlicka.html) is Kymlicka's response to Okin.
I started to make one a while back but didn't get too far. There are just too many great books to choose from.

Per Nisbet and Deneen, it does logically follow that a hyper-liberal view of immigration (it is immoral to bar people from moving across states, open-borders), would require an expansion of the state to uphold order and replace the stability and social trust original communities had a priori the effective dissolution of them via widespread immigration. Individualism and the state march hand in hand.
But this political compass is fucking absurd, on that I think we can all agree.
I read this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Racism-without-Racists-Color-Blind-Persistence/dp/0742516334
I know the ideas you are speaking of. That said, I thought book was complete garbage. I cannot overstate how bad I thought the book was.
I do not want people to assimilate to the "dominant culture." I want people to assimilate to norms that promote human flourishing. Cultures differ in ways other than the superficial: food, music, and dress. Communities can differ in their beliefs about honor, purity, violence, sexual freedom, masculinity, etc.. I consider it a duty to critique ideas and values that hinder human well-being.
Also, I hold the parochial tribalism of "their culture" and "our culture" thinking to be unimaginative at best and immoral at worst. The world is getting smaller everyday. I can communicate with people all over the globe. Is anyone suggesting that I shouldn't engage in a dialogue with my fellow human being where we try to persuade each other of the merits of our ideas?
P.S.
If you say that I shouldn't critique another culture's values, then you are not in my culture. My culture is one of robust scrutiny of all ideas. And because you are not in my culture, by the logic of non-intercultural criticism, you cannot critique me.

Don't bother going with Rosetta Stone. It will be pretty much 95% useless to you, as you already understand everything. Rosetta Stone puts next to no emphasis on grammar.
You may find this book useful. It was used in a first year Russian course I took back in university and has plenty of exercises to get you learning grammar, the alphabet and even how to read/write cyrillic cursive. There were many students in that class in pretty much exactly the same situation as you who seemed to find it helpful.
Looks like an interesting read, luckily it is only $300 on amazon.
My recs for someone who is just getting into Feminism:
I hope this thread will get more support behind making our FAQ HERE.
/r/atheism has an FAQ that features recommended book titles
In the context of /r/BlackAtheism there are a few titles:

I haven't read all of those but its just what I saw from a short search.
Every single "person with similar views as nolimitsoldier" I have encountered has always fallen into 1 of the following groups.
To learn more about feminism you can read or watch the following websites,books, or videos:

Books:
You’ll find that this subreddit is a roughly even mix of (1) half-baked 1st year undergraduates who had a really interesting thought while on shrooms and want to share it with everyone, and (2) bitter PhD students who have 0 patience for the uninitiated.
As for citizenship theory, if you want to read more, I suggest this book (also by Kymlicka). If you happen to be Canadian, you might also be interested in this report (large PDF) on the accommodation of minorities in Quebec, which was coauthored by philosopher Charles Taylor.
Why do people insist of maintaining their ignorance?
Racism Without Racists by Eduardo Bonilla Silva is a fascinating read and would help some of the people in this thread educate themselves.
At least the aspect of total work hours has been debunked. Richard B. Lee eventually concluded that the !Kung work approx. 40 hours a week in a later publication (well, it's a book really).

>those shipments aren't anything new
if you can find me an example of the US shipping Armored vehicles and Howitzers to the SDF prior to 2017, I'll concede the point.
>Al Qaeda
Al Qaeda has always been an insurgency. ISIS is an unrecognized state. they'll go underground, like the Taliban has gone underground, but we will have total victory over them in the field very shortly, in Iraq and Syria. If you want to move the goalposts from the defeat of ISIS to eliminating absolutely all resistence from Islamic Extremism, then I wont argue with you. Victory in that context will only come from empowering broad coalitions of different ethnicities and creeds, and embracing alternative political and power structures, like the work being undertaken in Rojava, and other parts of Syria and Turkey. for reading, check out Revolution in Rojava
Jag tycker det är okej att betala så mycket till fattiga länder så att vår välfärd försvinner, men jag tycker inte det är okej att betala ineffektivt. Dvs att hjälpa de som kommit till västvärlden, istället för att hjälpa i närområdet.
Etnisk heterogenitet inom ett område sänker det sociala kapitalet.
Inte ens genom att i teorin kombinera alla kända insatser lyckas man i genomsnitt åtstadkomma den etniska homogenitetens höga sociala sammanhållning (Neal & Neal 2013)
Andra effekter av ökad etnisk heterogenitet inom ett område är att de försämrar ekonomi, demokrati (Vanhanen, 1999), altruism (Salter, 2004), villighet att investera i det allmänna (Alesina, Glaeser & Sacerdote, 2001; Salter, 1999; Schubert & Tweed, 1999) och ökar korruption (Easterly & Levine, 1997).
Desstuom ökar risken dramatiskt för för etniska konflikter (Vanhanen, 2012) samt (Van Der Bergh, 1987)
Dessa problem, bl a brist på trygghet och tillit skapar en störande skolmiljö som försämrar de nya generationernas möjligheter att utbilda sig till de exceptionella nivåer som ett toppland bland kunskapsländer kräver.
Kom ihåg att de vetenskapliga och teknologiska framsteg som världens främsta åtstadkommer kommer så småninom hela världen till nytta. Så när man sackar den globala spjutspetsmotorn så får Eritrea färre nya hjälpmedel att resa sig ur fattigdom med.

>but not with multiple different books.
You're out of luck then, your only hope at getting a solid basic understanding is reading at the bare minimum a few. I'd suggest reading one focusing on the Islamic State/AQI, one focusing on the Kurdish situation including Turkey and the PKK, one on the civil war (rebels vs regime), and one about the conflict in general.
Couple of recommendations
The Battle for Syria: International Rivalry in the New Middle East
Revolution in Rojava: Democratic Autonomy and Women's Liberation in the Syrian Kurdistan
The Syrian Jihad: Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and the Evolution of an Insurgency
No problem, man.
If you don’t know about what’s going on in Rojava, I understand how you wouldn’t see the significance of the fight in Rojava.
It’s not just about some individuals fighting for their lives. It’s about a progressive model for how to organize society along anarchist thinking, living equally and ecologically. And out of all the places in the world, this begins in war-torn Syria!
I recommend you do your own research. But here’s a Rolling Stone article about the the western anarchists who joined the fight , which explains a bit of the context. I recall it was an easy read.
If you’re looking for a more academic account and
a more thorough analysis from a societal perspective, I can recommend Revolution in Rojava: Democratic Autonomy and Women's Liberation in Syrian Kurdistan.
Edit: Wanted to add that these people are fighting an important fight, probably the most important fight in the world right now.
Here are a couple of readings on the topic that explain the problem:
The Crisis of American Lonliness
The Quest for Community
Europe is able to have such a massive welfare state because we pay for their defense budgets. And destructive "fuck you, I'll do what I want" individualism is a result of the state. [Society is emergent, people cooperate to reach common goals without government and through the market] (http://www.amazon.com/Quest-Community-Background-Essential-Conservative/dp/1935191500/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377371743&sr=1-1&keywords=the+quest+for+community). [After the welfare state was expanded in the 60's, people could engage in destructive behavior that most people disproved of (out of wedlock pregnancy, divorce, promiscousnous, addiction) because that behavior was subsidized by the government] (http://www.amazon.com/Losing-Ground-American-1950-1980-Anniversary/dp/0465042333/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377371787&sr=1-1&keywords=losing+ground). Libertarians are the greatest friends of poor minorities. Even after desegregation, [the war on drugs] (http://www.amazon.com/The-New-Crow-Incarceration-Colorblindness/dp/1595586431), [occupational licensing laws] (http://www.amazon.com/State-Against-Blacks-Walter-Williams/dp/0070703787/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377371682&sr=1-1&keywords=state+against+blacks), and the lack of school choice are institutional barriers that have kept minorities poor. [Public institutions have always been erected to take care of the poor, whether there is government involvement or not] (http://www.amazon.com/Mutual-Aid-Welfare-State-Fraternal/dp/0807848417/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1377371988&sr=1-1&keywords=david+beito).
Klingt für mich wie eine Wunschwelt.
"Es soll allen gut gehen".
"Jeder soll freie Bildung haben!"
Und wie will man so etwas machen?
"Keine Ahnung"
Wenn jeder Bildung umsonst kriegt, gibt es keine gute Bildung mehr. Es gibt keine millionen von Top-Professoren, die einer Hand voll von Superbegabten zur zukünftigen Intellektuellen Elite die etwas erreichen wird und das Volk bereichert, die magischerweise jeden unterrichten können.
Alles, absolut alles, auch gute Bildung, wird mit Blut und Schweiß erkämpft und über Jahrzehnte aufgebaut. Schau mal wie schnell wir alles zerstört haben. Die heutige Bildung ist ein absoluter Witz im vergleich zu den 30ern, unsere Frauen von heute sind schlechter gebildet als unsere Töchter im Mittelalter, sowie davor.
Klingt nach einem erfolgreichem Weltbild, muss man aber durch um die Realität zu sehen, schaffste schon haben wir auch gepackt.
