As He died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap
respect, kindness and have principles that I apply uniformly
Not actions that he applies uniformly. Obviously you meet people with different actions. But you can remain constant in principles.
Its possible to respect both your mother and your partner, yet only have sex with one of them. Weirdo.
Yeah, I got what you meant - it’s a word that takes on a billion different meanings. I just find it to be important to push back against the strawman whenever I see it, as I’m not gonna let a bunch of dumb kids raised by a social media algorithm ruin feminism for me. Get off my lawn etc.
In feminist scholarship it tends more towards the “we are all victims of patriarchy” stance. Most my friends are academics so they tend to lean the same direction, though not always.
It’s worth emphasising that concerns about male mental health in large part comes from feminism. Feminism is not inherently man hating, and research of gender dynamics through the lense of feminism is what made it possible to observe how patriarchal structures in society harm not only women, but also men.
It’s kinda like how a marxist will tell you that even rich people are happier in egalitarian societies: Capitalism hurts everyone, including the ones seemingly profiting from it. In the same way, feminism gave way to the insight that patriarchy hurts everyone, including men.
That said, you’re not wrong that here is a (perhaps more popular rather than scholarly) feminist critique of male grievances. Feminism is a bunch of different things, and there’s a bunch of contradictions between different understandings of feminism.
Not too weird then that people end up hating the whole issue. Some feminists hate it because it’s sympathising with the oppressor or whatever, while anti-feminists hate it because they see it as soft feminist bullshit or whatever. Having a nuanced opinion about anything these days is difficult.
Thanks!
I’d consider trading my ThinkPad T14s haha.
What exactly are you unhappy about? I’m thinking of getting one soon-ish and would love to hear which negative experiences I could expect to bump into.
How about getting a portable monitor?
Pros:
Cons:
The entire sky is a carpet of stars. There’s not an empty spot - there’s always a smaller, fainter star to see. It’s crazy.
Lol, no, “the movement” is frowned upon by some because they want to finish up their genocide in peace.
America will soon be the only country in the security council not to recognize Palestine. This is America’s genocide, not only Israel’s. So of course some folks in America will be a bit touchy about people criticizing it.
Some red paint on a building is pretty mild compared to, I don’t know, genocide? Whoever is more upset by this than by every single truck refused entry to or bomb dropped in Gaza needs to take a long hard look at themselves.
I grew up in a green-ish area of this map in Norway, and in Winger it gets pitch black. If theres even faint aurora in tje North we can see it behind the house.
For sure there is some light pollution - we don’t draw the curtains in the evening - but it’s pitch black by any standard observable by humans.
Kinda similar to how right wing Germans don’t support Israel because they love Jews all of a sudden, but because they consider it to be the new final solution to the Jewish question in Germany.
Useful to keep in mind whenever people think Netanyahu represents jews. He’s actually much closer to representing the interest of white American evangelicals. Which should honestly not surprise anyone.
They’re a they, not a he. As in it’s a duo, I’m not even arguing about pronouns.
“And by the way, which one’s Pink”
There’s no real difference, content flows freely between the two platforms.
I’m writing this in piefed - does it make my comment “piefed content”, while your comment is “Lemmy content”?
The distinction makes no sense. And that’s the point - use whatever platform you prefer, enjoy the same content anywhere you go. There is no “piefed content” or “lemmy content”, only content. :)

Piefed.social used to be open for all, but I suspect it needed to be restricted due to AI scrapers. Not sure exactly what the reasoning is though.

Before the war, Europeans were obsessed with the Jewish question. The question was basically what to do with the jews who refuse to assimilate. The Germans came up with what they coined as the final solution to the Jewish question, which was of course the Holocaust.
Then, after the war, what do Europeans do? Do they accept that Jews can live among them as equals, even though they are different? Do we manage to leave this fucking Jewish question behind us?
Nah, we give them land where other people already live, so that they can have their own state and not bother us.
It’s just another solution to the Jewish question, and it’s rooted in the same fucked up belief that we simply cannot afford to coexist.
Israel was not founded against the Holocaust, it was founded with a basis in the same type of fucked up thinking as the Holocaust itself.
Both need to be taxed. And more. If not they’ll find loopholes.
If we want to let common people off the hook, it’s as easy as progressive taxing. The first million is free (or not heavily taxed) kinda thing works with income as well. Above a certain limit 100% tax makes all the sense in the world.
European legal systems are largely built around the idea that courts are apolitical, and that judges make their decisions neutrally based on the word of the law and the facts of the case.
This is of course impossible, but some people—especially judges themselves—are afraid that the system would collapse if the public learned how political the work of courts really is. So when France started publishing all the judgments of their courts to the public, they also forbade the public from studying individual judges.
It’s pretty funky.
Of course, studying the performance of individual judges is criminalized in France, so we have very limited ability to know about their individual performance. :)
It’s a huge lie that judges are neutral, but some argue it’s a necessary lie.
But at least he’s self aware! That places him in an intellectual capacity at least somewhere between a giant panda and a house mouse. Not bad for a troll.
