Chinahand Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Olga is an account on Flickr. She colourises old photos, especially from Russia/Soviet Union, but also from the world wars. She is bringing history to life, and reminding us; things are bad, but have been far far worse. https://www.flickr.com/photos/22155693@N04/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Fascinating talk explaining how Westerners are WIERD: Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. ... and how that is advantageous for social development.

doc.fixit Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Democracy, a fascinating subject. Just finished a recent book that suggests that there are no true democracies in the world, they are principally elective dictatorships with the exception of Germany with it's version of proportional representation. although I suppose the chancellor could be called a dictator. First past the post can never be called true democracy. Suppose as always the conclusions depend on one's definition of the word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 I don't know if it is a theological question but the stereotypes, biases, presumptions, politics, sociology and much else that could be pulled from and put into this image are legion. I know I'm long winded but I suspect entire PhDs could be written on it from multiple points of view. I don't really know where to start and am cautious of even starting as it could result in a minefield of misunderstandings, offence and claims as a white male I cannot have the experience to meaningfully comment ... But in saying that I've started. C'est la vie. Goodness racial politics make my head hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
