#Of you live in the western world that ought to be a minimum

[diocletianscabbagefarm]

I’m honestly living for the debate going on on Twitter rn that you ought to have at least heard of the Odyssey at some point in your life (like, not even read it or necessarily know the contents, just be aware of one of the foundational texts of human literature on par with things like the Bible, Journey to the west or the story of Troy) and how defensive some people are of their ignorance of it or that they didn’t know about it because knowing the Odyssey is supposedly “American-centric”. Truly the lowest bar experience to justified feelings of smug intellectual superiority like a cosy blanket.

I've interfaced enough with anime fans to know that watching anime comes from a place of weakness, of refusing to engage with media, to seek the absolute lowest denominator of storytelling where there's nothing challenging and every character only exists though the trope you can discern from a glance.

Anime as an industry degenerates art itself. Twitter is filled with artists putting their whole pussy into making spunky colourful character designs of the same female to exist only for users to briefly acknowledge then discard from their brain forever. Spot, like, scroll. Fulfillment.

Anything that doesn't give an immediate dopamine release at the moment of impact between visual stimuli and the interpretation cortex is thrown out for being too challenging. Anime is the new medium by which people who understand they understand very little and refuse to do something about it express the world; through total and complete rejection of complexity, depth, personality, passion or meaning. Through the endless consumption of colour and voice acting throw together into a slop and churned through the corporate grinder.

What remains is a deeply political, radicalised cell with no awareness of the social values they embody as they allow conservative corporate culture define what is and isn't, only to turn around on the burner account to ask why the fuck they feel like shit all the time, why the dysphoria is so bad, why it's so hard to live with what you have. The state of anime is a race to the bottom to hack the human mind and create consumers that become dependent on their media like addicts to heroin.

from this we get idol industries and the toxic parasocial nature of Vtubers and their community. To a person adjusted to deal with reality as is these entities are off putting because they emulate a more infantile moment of life, but to the people whose malfunction is the lack of synchronicity between real life and their favourite media these are safe spaces where they can be groomed into ideal whales, ideal citizens, defenders of slop and Catholic, the isolation of the make believe social structure they've come to depend on further alienating them from the world they've lost track of.

For money.

If Axis Infinity is capitalism in its most raw form for the digital era, bourgeois dividing the means labour between workers recieving the bare minimum to go on living, then the Anime Industry is the late capitalism of the digital era, a mind numbing anaesthetic for coping with the radicalising political reality, praising your passivity and rewarding you for never challenging yourself and your peers. It's the makings of fascism, of a loyal herd, of an environment where critical voices are unwelcome. We know this because Anime communities are the most welcoming of sexists, racists and other bigots. It appeals to losers who need online communities to validate their reactionary political beliefs because as an inherently and deeply conservative industry it consciously chooses to suppress the reality of whatever conservatives dislike.

It's a safe space for the world's biggest fucking losers.

Not to mention shit fucking forums like reddit's "anime circle jerk" where they consume the exact same garbage but with a wink to the camera, with the authenticity of an ex smoker going "drunk cigs don't count haha". I don't care if you're performatively leftist, if you have no standards, if you have no boundaries, if corporate anime still appeals to you despite how uncomfortable it ought to make you as a queer person, as a woman, as anything that Japanese and western conservative culture wishes was either dead or repressed, your leftism is for naught and you'll justify anything as long as it appeals to what you want to like.

So no, I'm not fucking watching Chainsaw Man. Stop calling things peak just because it's the last thing you watched.

@lolrider

The issue maybe, is the cost of life associated with that decline, which, truthfully, is not often part of the conversation, but is probably something that ought to be considered.  Like, yeah, it would be nice to just wake up and be at that point in society, but there's maybe some obligation to prevent it just purely in order to preserve life (if that's something you care about, of course).

What do you mean by “preserve life”? The thing about the demographic transition is that it doesn’t require anyone to die prematurely to alter demographic transitions in the long term; indeed, people are living longer than ever, and are in better health later in life, unlike say the post-Roman economic contraction in western Europe which was the result of warfare and political upheaval and was associated with both loss of life and decline in living standards (in some places, for some people).

If by “preserve life” you mean “people dying early who don’t want to is bad,” I agree, but that’s not the scenario I’m envisioning. If by “preserve life” you mean “preserve population levels,” I don’t see that as inherent good. People should only have kids if they want to have kids. Having more people in the world is, all else being equal, morally neutral to me: I’m not a kneejerk pro-natalist. And while I would be sad to imagine humans going extinct, if humanity went extinct due to the aggregate free choices of individuals, and the last of our descendants lived out their lives happily before willingly kicking the bucket, I would have a hard time arguing that my desire for humanity not to go extinct outweights their right to live their lives as they choose long after I’m gone.

And if you simply mean that an economy which has a larger share of older people in it is going to have new and different challenges than present economies, which assume a degree of minimum year-on-year growth, I agree! But those challenges don’t seem prima facie insurmountable to me. In fact, it seems likely that as that new reality becomes unavoidable, we’ll find a way to reach a new economic equilibrium, and that living standards will continue to rise as technology continues to improve.

More Hard Hitting Words From The Dalai Lama About The Mass Brainwashing Of Society

The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet is passed by a Dalai Lama for no factor, and also it is apparent that he is garnering whole lots of interest. After the November 2015 Attacks in Paris, he straigh-forwardly told the world that hoping simply is not a service for what have actually occurred, along with other similar wrongs that show up to constantly happen all around the world. He stated that events of the similarity bomb assaults at airports as well as city sites is a problem developed by people, and also asking God to solve it out makes no sense. We should be the ones responsible for the mess that has been produced. His comments went viral as they resonated throughout the world, to everybody who understand that activities on a mass range is needed at this time, to alter the instructions our planet shows up to be going on for many individuals.

Read also: Meditation is Essential. Schools Replacing Apprehension with Meditation is the Future We Want to See

Intertwined with the Paris attacks are the truths of war, and also there's a superb item composed on the Dalai Lama's website site pertaining to the mass indoctrination of humans. We carefully pertaining to this subject right here at Reflection Talks as well, specifically in concerns to war, incidents of terrorism, as well as the growth of these groups that are executing such strikes all over the globe. For this reason, an expert from the Dalai Lama's declaration with which we highly agree with:

Of program, war and also the big army establishments are the best resources of physical violence on the planet. Whether their purpose is defensive or offensive, these large effective companies exist solely to kill humans. We ought to believe thoroughly concerning the truth of battle. The majority of us have actually been conditioned to relate to army combat as exciting and also attractive - a chance for guys to verify their proficiency and courage. Considering that armies are legal, we really feel that battle is acceptable, generally, no one feels that war is criminal or that accepting it is criminal attitude. Actually, we have actually been brainwashed. War is neither glamorous neither appealing. It is impressive. Its very nature is one of disaster as well as suffering. (source)

The above declaration is an item of reality without a doubt. If you consider it, the armed forces in general, as well as the so referred solid organizations only exist to eliminate humans. As the Dalai Lama tackles the mass brainwashing on this issue, we are conditioned to believe that armed forces solution is something to take pride in. Certain, males and females who are going into the service, choose the purpose to offer the country. They choose a boatload of bravery as well as good-hearted objectives, but what they miss to recognize is that this international battle on terrorism is an entire fabrication.

The enemy they consider are shielding their nation from, is really A Item of their very own country. As Dr. Michel Choissudovsky, College of Otawa's Emeritus Professor of Economics informs us, the worldwide war on terrorism is entirely bogus, as well as based upon replica presumptions. Soldiers are taught right into believing that they are pursuing a genuine enemy, which they are securing their own state. In the really exact same time, that exact same enemy is entirely supported and funded by the western armed forces alliance, and also as the Dalai Lama further recommends in his message:

War is like a fire in the human community, one whose gas is living beings. I discover this example specifically appropriate as well as beneficial. Modern warfare waged primarily with different types of fire, yet we are so conditioned to see it as thrilling that we discuss this or that marvelous tool as a remarkable piece of modern technology without keeping in mind that, if it is really used, it will certainly shed living people.

Then he continues to say that:

War likewise strongly resembles a fire in the method it spreads out. If one location gets weak, the commander sends in reinforcements. This is tossing online individuals onto a fire. Since we have actually been brainwashed to think this way, we do not consider the suffering of private soldiers. No soldiers want to be wounded or die. None of his loved ones wants any kind of injury to find to him. If one soldier is killed, or incapacitated permanently, a minimum of another 5 or 10 people - his relatives and good friends - endure as well. We ought to all be alarmed by the extent of this disaster, but we are too confused. (source)

The extend of this brainwashing is rather significant. It is that brainwashed soldiers ought to roll out if we are mosting likely to stop war in basic, along with the substantial murders of various other humans. It is the belief of people that they are doing something great, providing the orders, and shooting that moves the entire equipment of battle. We are the reasons that war exists in the first place. It was created by us, and also as long as we equally take part in one way or another, we extend it. Just picture in your mind what would happen if each as well as every human getting on the planet refused to join war? This is the reason we say change must come from within, and as more soldiers awaken to this call, to comprehend what is really taking place, there will certainly be increasingly more individuals refusing to head to war.

But no matter how sinister or bad are the lots of murderous tyrants that can presently suppress their nations and also create global problems, it is evident that they can not hurt others or destroy countless human lives if they do not have a military organisation approved as well as pardoned by society.

Several of those soldiers that are used by corporate/bank creature masters are beginning to stir up and also talk out the truth.

The Dalai Lama takes place to mention exactly how costly war is. That is something that many people consider, as it is truth that entirely money is gathered billions into the military, along with the Department of Defense in America. Those quantities are able to fully relieve hardship and cravings on our world. Money is made out of slim air, typed on a computer screen and printed by the powerful elite at will.

We're talking about, as X Canadian Protection Minister Paul Hellyer states, trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars which were invested on work which both the congress and the commander-in-chief do absolutely nothing around. Invite to, what head of state Eisenhower called, the armed forces commercial complex, where, as we were cautioned by him, the surge for lost power exists and will proceed. What would he say today concerning what has happened?

The objective is, if we're going to make use of cash money as a tool, why not allocate it to provide food, sanctuary and garments for everyone in the world and also take that lots of? The shield expenses of a few states can do this no issue.

We need to feel fed up with the physical violence as well as eliminating taking place around us. If a pet kills a human, its miserable, but if a human being is eliminated by one more human being its unbelievable. We require to make a certain attempt to think about each other as fellow human beings, as sisters and our siblings.

Thank you Dalai Lama for saying things which you have said within recent months.

How to Purchase an Oriental Rug

Exactly what is an Oriental rug?

This is constantly a good area to start if one is considering a purchase as simply these details alone will certainly offer one clarification and insight right into what one is seeking. As the nations in the East have constantly been thought about the Orient, a handwoven rug, made from woolen, silk or cotton, from this part of the world is the real write-up. A little further delineation could be made if one also added in Western Europe, Northern Africa, and also Russia. I have seen lovely handmade rugs from Romania, Uzbekistan, and Egypt along with the Caucasus region in between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea above Iran. One of the most well-known rug weaving countries is Iran, Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, India, and Turkey. This is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years. you may also interesting in large quality rugs www.xlargerugs.co.uk

You will certainly discover it depicted in front of nearly any rug book in living color. The rug scholars are still saying as to where it was woven however the very same weaving methods are still in usage today.

Oriental rugs are not made in the United States although we do create numerous industrial copies. These would certainly be identified as "Oriental layout" rugs.

An ordinary 9 x 12 handwoven rug takes a minimum of 3000 hours of weaving, to say nothing of the moment spent on the design, color preparation, spinning of the woolen and the establishing of the impending.

A Persian rug is an Oriental rug but specifically woven in the nation of Iran or if an antique (100 years old or a lot more) woven in the former Persian Realm.

All Persian rugs ARE Oriental rugs but not all Oriental rugs are Persian rugs. Possibly the factor for this category is the reality that the Persian weavers of the past were constantly leaders in design and quality.

Allow us to speak about the basics. All Oriental rugs are woven on a loom by hand. If made in a small town the impend is normally created of timber and not perfectly straight yet if made in an expert workshop the impend would certainly most likely be metal and more specifically designed.

The impend is strung with upright threads, which would certainly be the beginning point of any rug. These threads are called warps as well as can be of cotton, wool or silk. Tying loops around a pair of the warps develop the design of the rug. Each knot is linked and also separately cut by hand. One at a time, variously colored hairs of woolen are made use of to develop the layout, one row each time. After one row of knots has been finished, the weft is then placed in between the just-completed row as well as the following one to be done. The wefts work to protect the knots in position as well as hold the rug together. Some weavers place just one row of wefts in between the rows of knots, others 2, 3, 4 and also more.

A lot of weavers are shown to weave at a very early age by a member of the family as well as the selection of the number of wefts or what kind of knot to tie is influenced generally by the heritage and place of the weavers. Many of the previous nomadic (pastoral) weavers now reside in villages their rugs are extra frequently than not a reflection of patterns woven for several generations in their location, each design motif is dedicated to memory.

In rug workshops, the weaving is very carefully monitored by a master weaver that is responsible for every impend under his careful eye. Tribal or village rugs are usually woven in the residence with several of the style elements committed to memory. Tribal rugs commonly are woven on a woolen or cotton structure.

The age wonderfully works sympathetically together as well as the indigo dye, which creates all the arrays of blue, also protects the wool. Normally with vegetable dyes, one will see a slight or not so minor (depending on the ability of the dyer) variant in the color itself.

Handspun woolen, being much less flawlessly rotated will accept the colors of the dyes at various depths of the very same color and also will certainly show more variant in color than machine-spun woolen. Deeply saturated wool will also reveal much less color variation which will only appear after the rug begins to age.

Extra lately, brand-new production utilizing vegetable dyes as well as hand-spun wool has started to show up in various areas. Started in Turkey in the 1980s by a government-sponsored program, Iran quickly adhered to and also now there are several locations where these fantastic dyes, excellent quality hand-spun wool, and traditional layouts are being used to produce brand-new rugs or even more specifically, brand-new artworks!

These rugs can easily be the "vintages" of tomorrow as the weaver's creative thinking and also ability is wonderfully brought to fruition.

Also, there is an additional weaving strategy, which is similar to a Navajo rug called a kelim. This rug is virtually all warps and wefts as there is no heap. This also is an Oriental rug yet not as time-consuming to weave. The patterns on kelims are normally geometric based layouts using big locations of shade. These rugs work rather well in contemporary insides and also are commonly utilized as wall surface hangings. Numerous are unique and also lovely although not as hard wearing as a knotted rug. In the past, most of these kelims were woven for the weaver's use as well as have only recently become extra common in the industry.

What is important in evaluating an Oriental Rug? One of the most important aspects of a rug is the shades used and also their mixes. Does the rug enhance as one looks at it?

Rugs woven with this kind of woolen do not put on well and are often sold for following to absolutely nothing which is exactly what they are worth. A rug woven with exceptional wool can quickly make it through 50 years or even more with extremely little wear if cared for properly.

Top-quality woolen will certainly improve the extra it is walked on and also will certainly create antique aging or sheen that is very searched for by rug collectors. The moral of the tale is to touch the wool, rub the palm of your hand across the face of the rugs. Compare it to one more rug. It ought to not feel extremely completely dry or rigid. Choose the rug up by the edge and see how much it weighs! A hard-wearing rug will have some "body" to it. This, of course, would certainly not relate to silk as the weight of a silk rug is much lighter. Silk will certainly feel cool to the touch and also will have a distinct luster! Check out the rug very carefully by walking it and seeing it from every possible angle.

Glossy wool usually mirrors light and often on rugs woven with handspun wool you will certainly have a dark and a light side. If the rug is old, one would certainly look for any kind of signs of moth damage where the heap has been consumed away.

On older rugs, one would additionally try to find indicators of fixings, such as a patch sewn in to change a worn location or holes. Also, inspect the rug in the very best feasible light to ensure the stack is complete as some careless conservators simply paint in the shade on used locations as well as the rug will have little life left in it. If the rug is a large amount, as well as these realities, have been indicated ahead of time, then great, yet if found by your examination as well as not indicated, simply pass on the purchase.

As the Democratic primaries start to heat up, it’s become clear that Bernie Sanders wants to hit Joe Biden hard on trade:

When people take a look at my record versus Vice-President Biden’s record, I helped lead the fight against NAFTA—he voted for NAFTA. I helped lead the fight against permanent normal trade relations with China—he voted for it. I strongly opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership—he supported it.

Since 2016, American politics has focused quite heavily on immigration. It’s a much more visible issue than trade. Immigrants and refugees are physical people you can see, or even interview. The border is a place you can go, a wall is a physical thing that either gets built or it doesn’t. Some of us are friends of immigrants, some of us are immigrants, but all of us are descended from people who came over here at some point. Trade is different. The effects of trade are hard to see and hard to measure. You can see stuff in your local big box store stamped with “Made in China,” but otherwise trade doesn’t make itself obvious to you unless you’re one of the people who loses a job to outsourcing. So the mainstream press doesn���t write about trade very much, unless it’s implying that President Trump is going to visit unspeakable horrors on us through a trade war with China. Even the left press is typically quiet about it. This is a shame, because trade has much larger impacts on ordinary American workers than immigration does.

Many economists love free trade. They love to point out that free trade means that goods are made in the places where it’s cheapest and most efficient to make them. That drives down consumer prices and it increases headline economic growth rates. If you want GDP growth, free trade is great. The trouble is that this “efficiency” is all too often achieved by lowering labor costs and offering firms tax breaks and loose regulations. An American worker is expensive compared to a worker from a poor country. If we recklessly remove trade barriers, our workers lose negotiating leverage with their employers. Some Americans lose their jobs and others see their wage growth decrease, halt, or reverse. And in the meantime, the race to the bottom on taxes and regulations means less money for public services and infrastructure. It often means poorer quality goods, unsafe working conditions, and all manner of abuses great and small.

But not every job is tradeable. You’d be hard-pressed to outsource teachers, or doctors, or the waiter at your local diner. Trade now accounts for about 27 percent of U.S. GDP:

If you’re in a non-tradeable sector, initially trade just lowers the cost of your consumer goods. It’s only when the people who are laid off in tradeable sectors begin competing for jobs with you that you start to see trade erode your negotiating leverage. It’s only when the state lowers taxes and regulations to compete to hold onto jobs that you notice budget cuts to public programs and sliding standards. If you’re not thinking about it, it’s easy to not even recognize these things as related to trade.

Trade also inhibits investment in labor-saving technology. If you can reduce labor costs by outsourcing, you don’t need to make more expensive investments in automation to get costs down. So while trade increases economic growth rates and makes consumer goods cheaper, it also reduces the bargaining power of workers and slows technological development. The short-run growth comes at a long-run productivity cost. It’s difficult to predict or measure how much technological development and worker bargaining power we give up when we sign free trade agreements, and this makes it very hard for economists to account for these things when estimating the consequences of trade deals. It’s much easier to focus on headline growth increases and drops in consumer prices.

At the same time, if we refused to trade with other states, we’d make it much harder for their economies to develop. Many countries are able to goose development by exporting goods to the United States. Their workers are paid inhumane and substandard wages by our standards, but even these meagre wages are often more than they would have been paid for the subsistence agricultural jobs that often predated the arrival of American firms. The right loves to point out that workers in sweatshops are still often paid more than they were paid when they were peasant farmers. But this wage increase doesn’t necessarily make these workers happier. As countries industrialize, there are massive increases in the number of hours expected from workers, especially in places where labor laws are weak. This is visible in the history of western industry. British and American workers saw their hours increase dramatically before labor laws intervened:

Industrialization was so miserable for most workers that they were compelled to organize to a degree never before seen. Medieval peasants didn’t build trade unions, and neither did the rural peasants of today’s developing states. So while sweat shops might put more money in peasants’ pockets, they’re not necessarily make their lives better, at least not in the short to medium-term.

What about the long-run? In the long-run, developing countries might hope that by sacrificing the lives of their peasants to the corporate behemoths they can one day achieve prosperity comparable to what the rich states experience. For them, free trade with the western states is a form of indentured service—they hope that by turning their people into slaves for the west, eventually enough western investment will trickle in to enable them to make “the leap” and become rich themselves.

What right do we have to deny them that choice? We might point out that given the reality of climate change, the choice is suicidal—it’s not possible for everyone to live like Americans. But this doesn’t stop developing countries from trying. India’s carbon emissions increased by 6.3 percent in 2018. A few weeks ago I discussed this with a couple Indians who support the Modi government, and they made the understandable point that India faces crippling poverty today, poverty it can erase with economic development. They say they’ll worry about the environment later. Can we blame them for feeling that way?

Yet at the same time, we are socialists and that means we’re meant to care about American workers. Our workers face job loss, wage stagnation, and austerity if we trade with countries without making any provision for the race to the bottom on wages, taxes, and regulations. Eventually, they face the consequences of climate change too. If we won’t defend them from these forces, why should we expect them to support us? And what good is a socialist movement that doesn’t care enough about its workers to defend them?

This is what the right wants—a false binary choice between helping poor people in developing countries and defending poor and working people at home. It wants to frame trade as a dichotomy between free trade policies that lift poor countries out of poverty while making consumer goods cheap for us and protectionist policies that defend American jobs while keeping poor countries poor and expensive goods expensive. The right wants to use your compassion for postcolonial peoples to make you stab your neighbors in the back. And before too long, it won’t just be your neighbors who suffer—you too will end up afflicted with the consequences of austerity, poor quality products, and chronic under-investment in infrastructure and productivity. It’s already happening. Look around you.

So what is to be done? We don’t have to accept this false choice. We can trade with other countries on terms that protect our workers and force other states to treat their workers better than we treated ours in the 19th century. Rich states should demand, as a condition of trade agreements, adjustments in wages, taxes, and regulations to reduce or eliminate disparities in the treatment of rich workers and poor workers. It’s one thing if we import stuff from a foreign state because that state has real productive advantages in making the stuff. It’s quite another if we’re importing stuff from a foreign state because that state is treating its workers like meat.

Right now, free trade agreements are being used to run down workers in rich states while giving workers in poor states far too little compensation for far too much hardship. The USA and the EU command access to gigantic consumer markets, and they have a lot of leverage over governments in developing countries. Instead of using that leverage to push these governments to offer up their workers on a platter for transnational corporations to devour at their leisure, we ought to use our leverage to secure workers around the world fairer deals. Beyond this, we ought to demand that developing states take action to ensure they fight poverty in a clean, sustainable way—and supply them with the investment and extra help, where necessary, to do this.

This is what a socialist trade policy looks like—not unadulterated protectionism, but trade deals that put workers first by creating strong international minimum standards on wages, taxes, and regulations. This must be led by the USA and EU, because only they command enough market share to successfully push governments in poor countries to adopt more humane and sustainable models of development.

TOEFL VS IELTS

Not that way back, the division was clearer. Foreign students seeking admission to 'Western' universities took the TOEFL examination to allow admissions officers a numerical rating of their West Germanic language skills if they planned to travel to yankee universities, and people seeking admission to universities within the kingdom, Australia and sometimes North American country took the IELTS (International West Germanic language Testing Service) examination.

Now, increasing numbers of yank universities ar} fain acceptive IELTS "band" scores because the measure of their applicants' English-language skills. There square measure variety of attainable reasons, a number of them factual, others a lot of supposititious.

Over the years, the IELTS communication has become steady a lot of revered as AN examination. TOEFL VS IELTS celebrated - some would say ill-famed - for its issue (some would say trickiness), it's a a lot of complicated communication that measures a lot of specific skills than the TOEFL communication will. above all, they're the Speaking Task - tired the corporate of a 'live' examiner - that measures a candidate's ability to use the spoke language over a variety of levels, from the a lot of habitually informal to the a lot of formally display. the opposite is that the report that constitutes IELTS' Writing Task one, which needs a candidate to require information given in an exceedingly graphic kind and write the data given in words (and, once acceptable, rigorously hand-picked numbers and/or alternative sorts of data).

Both of those further components square measure ones that mirror specific skills most graduate students - finding out in any country - can really need to succeed, each in their work and in daily living (not inaccurately named by the IETLS administration as 'survival skills').

This is to not say that IELTS could be a higher take a look at than TOEFL. it's criticized for alternative short-comings, distinguished among them the slowness with that it's developed its computer-based take a look at. Still, there's increasing proof that its reliableness as a live of English-language skills is a minimum of nearly as good as TOEFL's (even if its use of synchronic linguistics and writing system is predicated on nation instead of the yankee norms).

American universities - on the average still the foremost valuable anyplace within the world, to not mention the price of living within the United States whereas finding out - square measure, more and more, as inquisitive about attracting foreign students, for reasons of student-population diversity still as revenue, as their 'Commonwealth' counterparts a lot of magnificently square measure. So, AN increasing variety of them - starting with a number of the simplest, most celebrated and most sought-after by foreign students - currently settle for IELTS scores in function of TOEFL scores.

While this is often a bonus for foreign students with easier access to IETLS testing sites than to TOEFL ones, it may doubtless cause issues for any candidate presumptuous that IELTS is an appropriate substitute for TOEFL. In fact, it's currently an extra factor foreign students ought to make sure regarding. Before you assume that the yankee university to that you're applying accepts IETLS band scores rather than TOEFL scores, do the analysis you wish to make sure.

@hm-ha-hm-hm-hm-ha

Hi! Thanks a lot for this contribution. I’ve written this three times now because I don’t save my work, and I’m an actual dumbass despite my writing all of this, so bear with me history buffs!!!

This response is a very popular method of washing the west’s hands of Russia: point at Stalin. A high school debate team might scream “ad hominem” if he didn’t so damn well deserve it. Perhaps I should have been more explicit in my original post about Stalin’s acts of barbarism, but I wasn’t for the same reason I wasn’t more explicit with Hitler’s: we know. The west ensures that we are well aware (although perhaps not very well informed) about the atrocities of the USSR and before. Detailing them would have contributed nothing meaningful to my post imo, but for future reference: Hitler: bad. Stalin: bad. Moving on, I believe it is a fundamental misunderstanding of history to call the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop pact “allying” the USSR to Germany, and it is most certainly fallacious to say that they ready to invade each other anyway.  To say this pact made them “allies” is as misleading as calling the USSR and the U.S. “allies” during the Cold War.

Stalin knew before anyone else that Hitler was planning military expansion. It was a very rough time to live next door to fascists; people have some difficulty distinguishing this, but fascism is not the same thing as communism. Fascism is usually considered the far right and communism is usually considered the far left, but being radical doesn’t make them equivalent ideologies, or “just as bad,” as some put it. They are, by nature, incompatible ideologies. So it’s hard to understand why history remembers them as allies, even hesitant ones.

When Hitler entered power in 1933, he was already intending to invade both Russia and Poland over Lebensraum. He described this concept as land that rightfully belonged to Germans, land they were meant to have by right of destiny. It included pretty much all workable land in the world. Slavic people were also “undesireables” to him, and his original goals included exterminating all Slavic people, which at the time was around 180 million in the USSR alone. Though he wasn’t often a pragmatic man, he did ultimately settle for just taking all of Russia’s land and resources, which at the time was a good one sixth of the earth’s surface. That’s a lot of Lebensraum.

Stalin, by contrast, was far too busy murdering millions of his own people to start carrying out world domination. When people speak of Hitler’s world domination, they mean it literally -- his “master race” and Final Solution and Lebensraum -- his actual plans to wipe out the majority of the earth. When people speak of Stalin’s world domination, they’re usually referring to his efforts towards the “popular front,” an global ideological effort toward educating the masses about leftism at a time when merely being suspected of being a communist was grounds for a life sentence or worse. The ultimate end goal was to end capitalism, but it is a very different thing to stage a war against an economic ideology than on people. If you’re the U.S. and Great Britain --  countries whose rule dangerously toed the line of fascism -- this was tantamount to world conquest. The people were already more aware of the corrupted parts of capitalism than they were in WWI, largely thanks to the Great Depression, and were discovering communism on their own. Unions were beginning to hold real power in the U.S., (you know...regular old unions...the things that gave us the “40 hour work week,” child labor laws, weekends, OSHA, minimum wage, etc) and these and workers’ strikes (along with other efforts for social reform like the Suffragette movement) were the examples provided as “proof” that Soviet spies were invading. America was liberalizing and giving power to the people; that was the domination.

Stalin also intended to assist in liberating conquered, colonized, and annexed countries in the western empire, which if you’re keeping track is all of them lol British France German American and even Dutch empires were being criticized and threatened, for Stalin was an anti-imperialist and unlike Hitler, he did not admire Churchill’s endeavors in India or the U.S.’s “kill every person over the age of 10″ dealings in the Philippines. Depending on who you ask, one might argue that wanting to free indigenous people brutally colonized by western forces was a good thing, but perhaps not so if they were your colonies and your entire nation’s economy depended on you stealing their resources.

Anyway, this gave all of the allies really good reasons to not want to help Stalin even before there was evidence of his many victims when there was evidence of Nazi expansion. Don’t confuse the past and the present; the west did not hate Stalin because he was a monster, (or else it would hate itself a lot more) but because he was trying to spread communism and liberate their colonies. So, again, in 1933 when Hitler took office and was all but announcing his intent to eventually conquer Poland and Russia, the USSR was left without allies. In 1936, Germany broke the Treaty of Versailles and had military forces occupy neighboring Rhineland. This invasion, not Poland, was the beginning of Hitler’s global conquest, and it went completely unchallenged by allies, despite the USSR’s protest. When the west failed to stop him, Stalin grew convinced that Germany and Great Britain (whose ideologies were much more compatible) would become allies, and Churchill would keep good on his word to “strangle Bolshevism in its cradle.”

By 1939, Stalin faced the fact that the German war machine was outside Russia’s door and they had no allies who would help if they were invaded. Russia by this point was gearing up for a defensive war, but had no intent to invade Germany, particularly because by 1939 Stalin had his hands full just trying to kill everyone in his own government. So at last, the USSR and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, not a treaty of alliance. The two promised not to commit acts of aggression against each other for the next ten years, to not invade each other, to keep their military forces away from each other. It was the political equivalent of two countries saying “please don’t declare war on me.”

Two weeks after this pact was signed and with no threat of Russian rebuff, Germany invaded Poland, with whom they had signed a non-aggression pact in 1936, and WWII began. The timing was terrible; Stalin and Hitler were the two most evil people the world could imagine, and now they were working together to destroy the world. Germany would break its non-aggression pact (again) with the USSR in 1941, and Russia would not merely “bear the brunt” of the fighting but the overwhelming majority of it. The death toll of its soldiers alone was ten and a half million people. In Moscow, eight and a half million. In Stalingrad, a million people. In Leningrad, one million. All of these civilians and Red Army home defenders with large populations of women and children. In response to Hitler’s invasion of Russia, future president Harry Truman said:  “If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances.” The tagged on line at the end is woefully inadequate compensation for the rest of the statement: that the brutalized citizens of the USSR were no better than the Nazis invading them.

By historical aspects, Stalin was responsible for the deaths of about twenty million Russians. Conversely, Hitler was responsible for the deaths of about sixty million Russians on top of the many millions of other deaths we all know he was responsible for. Russia lost more lives than all off the other nations in WWII combined. It would be a massive historical disservice to those victims to say they deserved it because both sides were equally bad.
