    Nowadays the umbrella is pretty broad, people like Mamdani are often indeed called or identify as socdems, and yet they’re also reformist socialists.

  • major powers including the US, China and India are not part of the talks.

    If you’re talking about the OP image, it’s actually inefficient as fuck. The houses depicted there house the same number of people as one or maybe two apartment blocks. And those apartment blocks can then have a bunch of greenery between them.

    On a very fundamental level, the scaffolding that makes words make sense is the neuron structures in your brain which fire when they recognize certain sounds/scribbles. Things like etymology and grammar are not necessary for a language to be used for communication (in fact, languages existed for much longer than the notions of etymology or grammar). Both of them help make the language more standardized and thus more understandable, but they are not required - you can totally make yourself understood without knowing about either of those things.
