About this item

Safeguard your home with the powerful protection of Heimdall, guardian deity and protector of the hearth. Just as ancient people sought his blessing to shield their homes from enemies and wild beasts, you too can invoke his power to create a sanctuary of safety and security.

This ritual goes beyond mere words; it weaves a potent energy field, an impenetrable barrier around your home. I utilize crystal talismans, possessing strength rivaling that of a diamond, to fortify your walls and enhance Heimdall's protective embrace. By combining Heimdall's might with the ancient energy of crystals, we create a powerful fusion, ensuring not only the safety of your property but also shielding it from any hardship. Imagine an unwavering guardian, deflecting all threats and dangers, ensuring your well-being and peace of mind at all times.

This ritual also harnesses the unique properties of tiger's eye, red jasper, and carnelian, amplifying the protective barrier and infusing your home with additional beneficial energies. Tiger's eye is renowned for its ability to deflect negativity and enhance resilience, instilling confidence within you and your home. Red jasper, symbolizing strength and protection, creates an energetic shield, empowering you with the determination to overcome any challenge. Carnelian cultivates an atmosphere of comfort and safety, dispelling anxieties and attracting positive energies to ensure tranquility within your dwelling.

In a world where security is paramount, this ritual addresses the need for reliable protection against potential dangers. It establishes a resilient shield, reflecting negativity and providing you with peace of mind and confidence.

Allow me to forge this impenetrable shield around your home, protecting it from external threats and creating a sanctuary of peace and security. Don't miss this opportunity to secure the well-being of your home and yourself. 🛡️

TL;DR: actions that society considers morally reprehensible and "corrupt" when carried out by public institutions, are seen as normal and acceptable when it comes to private institutions, so traditional comparisons of "corruption" between capitalism and socialism put socialism at a disadvantage by definition.

1- Let us imagine that I'm a business owner, and I decide to carry out some renovations in my building. I decide that, since I have a reliable friend who owns a renovations company, I will simply carry out the renovation with their company. We sign a contract, the renovation is carried out, the work gets done, the other company gets paid. Nothing out of the norm here.

Now let us imagine the case in which this first business, instead of being owned by me privately, is socialized and owned by the state: a public entity. Some renovations are necessary, so I, as a public administrator, decide to order the renovation to be carried out by a friend... except that's corruption! I need to organize an auction and order impartially from a variety of firms, by lowest expense and by highest level of satisfaction! What is normal and approved in capitalism, is unthinkable and in most instances illegal under the principles of public ownership!

2- Another example: I'm a worker in a private company. One year, the CEO that is put in place by the stockholders, happens to be a former employer of mine, and because they know me and my performance, I get promoted. Meritocracy! Some people even call that "networking", which is a necessary social skill in capitalism and highly regarded in wealthy circles.

Now let us imagine the case of a soviet workplace, in which I'm a worker with excellent performance. The union-approved party member in charge at this time, sees my performance and my contributions and involvement with the union and party, and decides to offer me a promotion. Oh, what a blatant case of dictatorial bureaucracies, in which only party members giving each other favours get to rise to the top! What an unfair and corrupt system!

Whenever we hear these claims of "corruption", "bureaucracy" and such from socialism, please make it a point to compare these events with similar instances in capitalism, and how normalized and approved by the social majority they are. Why do we only expect transparency, efficiency and impartiality from public institutions, but normalize the opposite behaviours in capitalist enterprises?

example: selecting "kelly" is a needless chore, because you have to sift through a bunch of kelly emojis to find the one named kelly. similar things happen with "slammer" and several others.

the canonical name of an emoji should always have precedence over keywords in the picker

we start with a paean to historical idealism

Wars end long before armistices are signed. A war's end, after all, is a matter of will, of spirit—and popular will is only haltingly, grudgingly reflected in the political machinery of peace talks.

"it's not a contest of production and material resources, it's just a Triumph of The Will."

it only gets worse from there, as the author argues that Ukrainian morale is "nearly euphoria" while Russian morale is in the gutter, as evidenced by their civilians' failure to dig in and fight regular troops:

Its citizens in Kursk fled the Ukrainian advance like smoke in the wind, leaving homes and possessions without so much as a whimper.
