Culture is what you do when you stop thinking. When everyone in a group does the same thing when they stop thinking you have a nation.

Give it another 60 years and Macedonians will be on par with Israelis for a made up nation that is now real. We aren't there yet because there are people alive and well in their 40s who know just how made up it all is, since they were the ones that made it up.

This is a very hard concept to explain to liberal americans because they have no culture or nation. Thinking the wrong thoughts gets you excommunicated and what those wrong thoughts are changes constantly. So they have to constantly think about what acceptable behaviour is.

There is a difference between larping and culture. If you can't understand that you're probably larping thinking its culture.

Or maybe I'm a communist and want to follow the example of the USSR when dealing with mental illness.

Yes, but this didn't happen centuries ago, this happened in the 1960s to 1990s.

Fresh food preparation is a full time job.

I outsource mine to someone who does it for a living, it costs more than the majority of people can afford. The idea that you can work a full time job, have time to cook, clean and eat and also have enough money to buy ingredients that aren't sugar by another name is laughable.

>from what our ancestors usually ate

Whatever they could find so not to starve.

The idea that people in the past had a diet they could keep to is completely laughable the second you start reading the accounts of the number of famines _in the 19th century_. This gets progressively worse the further back you go.

Ones right to liberty ends when they start throwing feces at me.

I want to watch this mini-series.

Macedonia is particularly egregious because its genesis as an ethnic group is still within living memory and would make as much sense as Pennsylvanians declaring themselves the last true Vikings, erecting statues with horned helmets and talking about retaking their true homelands.

All other major ethnic groups in the Balkans have at least two or more generations from their creation, either synthetic or organic, and as such are as easy to take seriously as any other ethnicity, be it Han or English.

The only people who call it a balancing act are the ones who have never seen disruptive mental illness first hand. It's not cute, quirky or a choice. It's one step away from murder at the best of times. You're welcome to move to an insane asylum if you want to prove me wrong, you're not welcome to turn my back yard into one to make yourself feel better.

Mental illness denial is the lefts version of climate change denial.

My house has been broken into fewer times than the number of bankruns in the last week.

The majority of people don't need daily bank accounts. The only reason why we are using them is because to dollar notes have not kept up with inflation. A $500 bill from 1900 would be a $17,500 note today. Two of those notes provide more liquidity than the majority of bank accounts in the US.
