Huh, that’s actually surprisingly slow to me. With a bit of training anyone under forty with a bit of an active lifestyle should be able to do sub 4h00 (=5:41 min/km or 9:09 min/mi). Then again, I know that running a marathon at all is a goal for quite some people, but still.
I’m European too, and our left wing parties have all started sliding towards the right. Which ones of them are actually proposing anything outside of the current neoliberal framework?
The far right is the logical conclusion to the centrist rhetoric of the last few decades. It’s underpinned by the same ideas, whereas leftist ideology is fundamentally different. That’s to say, far right ideology isn’t more inviting only to young men, but also to everyone else who has internalised capitalist ideology.
Instantly became toxic? I’m shocked, shocked I say!
Yeah, I agree. It’s not like I disagree with any of the specific points made in the post, but when you put it together it seems very, idk, complacent? Sure, not everything needs to be a challenge, but I also think it’s important to challenge yourself in some things.
Like you alluded to, it means that you’ll fail from time to time, but to me that’s better than never succeeding. Failure is more of an achievement than not trying at all.
