    edit: fix similarities typo

    Awesome to see the similarities between: Newtonian Mechanics and Quantum mechanics

    Coulomb’s law was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism and maybe even its starting point, as it allowed meaningful discussions of the amount of electric charge in a particle.

    Here, ke is a constant, q1 and q2 are the quantit>ies of each charge, and the scalar r is the distance between the charges.

    Being an inverse-square law, the law is similar to Isaac Newton’s inverse-square law of universal gravitation, but gravitational forces always make things attract, while electrostatic forces make charges attract or repel. Also, gravitational forces are much weaker than electrostatic forces. Coulomb’s law can be used to derive Gauss’s law, and vice versa. In the case of a single point charge at rest, the two laws are equivalent, expressing the same physical law in different ways. The law has been tested extensively, and observations have upheld the law on the scale from 10−16 m to 108 m.

    Many different types of communism though, looking at countries with communist pasts.

    Unions were started by them, not by liberals and the like.

    Compared to today, unions are not that radical. More strikes are coming but both dems and reds stop them.

    Looking at Biden breaking the rail road strike.

    I think communists would be for gun rights and much more libertarian left polices, to a certain point.

    The first international efforts at organizing workers were established by Marx himself. Marx led the International Working Men’s Association (IWA), which was a coalition founded by union leaders in 1864, aimed at uniting various leftist groups, including socialists, communists, and anarchists, to join in the common goal of defeating capitalism.

    In 1872, the IWA focused its efforts on the United States, moving its headquarters to New York City. After it disbanded in 1876, the Workingmen’s Party of the United States (WPUS) was founded in its place. The WPUS organized railroad workers in the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, which started in West Virginia and spread across several states, leading to deadly riots. Over one hundred people were killed as a result, and in Philadelphia, rioters burned down 39 buildings and dozens of trains, as well as over 1,200 freight cars.

    Unionization continued along Marxist lines, as did the violence. In 1886, after a confrontation between striking employees, strikebreakers, and police, a group of labor radicals (including anarchists and communists) held a rally in Chicago, now referred to as the Haymarket Riot. When one of the speakers at the rally shouted “Exterminate the capitalists!” police intervened, and things became violent. One rioter threw a stick of dynamite at police and shooting broke out; seven police officers and at least one civilian died.

    As Weingarten noted in a recent interview, “80% of parents, most parents, want teachers to teach honest history.” That’s exactly what should be taught—honest history. Kids should know about the historical accomplishments of organized labor, and how employees came together to improve their workplaces. They should also know that unionization in America was driven by revolutionary Marxist organizations, and that unions often instigated and participated in rioting and violence.

  • [Verse 1]

    Next phase, next craze, next “nothing new”

    Got the pretty boy, beat him up black and blue

    Broke the sissy boy’s teeny toy heart in two

    Turned him into a video kid like you


    [Chorus]

    I know we’re just pretending

    There’s no window for mistakes

    I know you see right through me

    There’s no promise left to break


    [Verse 2]

    Shot the pretty boy, killed him on commodore

    Need a new game, need a new “something more”

    Got a new face, got a new way to score

    Got a voice like something I’ve heard before


    [Chorus]

    I know we’re just pretending

    There’s no window for mistakes

    I know you see right through me

    There’s no promise left to break


    [Bridge]

    The message misleading

    We’re lying, we’re cheating

    We’re only repeating

    The motions preceding


    [Outro]

    I know we’re just pretending

    There’s no window for mistakes

    I know you see right through me

    There’s no promise left to break

    This is the one I was thinking of sharing, from Violet (2005) album :

    Play Dead - The Birthday Massacre

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAMritvqfRw


    [Verse 1]

    And boys are so cold; they speak without meaning

    The only time they talk is in their sleep

    And girls are a bore; their touch without feeling

    Their secrets always far too grim to keep

    And up until now, you’ve lived in their shadows

    Trying hard to please them

    But they’ll never change as long as they’re breathing


    [Chorus]

    Thinking hurts and thoughts don’t rhyme

    To those of us who’ve never tried

    To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

    And as our pretty faces die

    Our broken hearts will wonder why

    The makeup just won’t hide the scars of time


    [Verse 2]

    And boys are so cruel; so don’t let them find you tonight

    And girls are so vain; so put them behind you tonight

    I’ll cast you a spell, a magic where everyone plays dead forever

    And after tonight they’ll never remind you


    [Outro]

    Thinking hurts and thoughts don’t rhyme

    To those of us who’ve never tried

    To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

    And as our pretty faces die

    Our broken hearts will wonder why

    The makeup just won’t hide the scars of time
