It has nothing to do with us.

I think you will find that the liberal-capitalist world order with some semblance of norms like national self determination and resistance to overt nationalistic annexation does benefit the US.

Note that I’m not saying I like this world order, or the US politic. But your assertion looks false to my eyes. Even if there was no moral issue of enabling Ukrainian self defense because Ukrainian self defense is a moral good, the USA benefits from preventing authoritarian regimes from using military force to swallow up their neighbors. And so do the European countries.

Hey, I don’t agree with you, but I also don’t agree with others here putting words into your mouth. But just like I’m asking others to take a breath, I’m going to ask you the same.

I think you could have been better served here by disengaging instead of escalating. Or maybe, by answering the question posed, and re-starting your view without being argumentative. You’re falling into the trap of generalizing the same way a few of the comments below you did.

I don’t necessarily think you’re wrong in asserting that this is a behavior of the groups you mentioned, but it’s important as far as we can to remember the person. In this specific case I don’t see conclusively that @whelmer@beehaw.org is expressing any of that.

I understand your emotion, but another time, please try to remember to respond to each person like a person. We’re trying to talk to each other here and not take turns stating positions to a crowd. You know? This isn’t a warning or anything like that, but I am asking you to try to avoid generalizing when you’re responding in conversations with specific people. Before we can assume bad faith we do have to actually establish that the specific individual is acting in bad faith. It’s one thing that can help make this community different to reddit.

I’m not falling over myself to clap, but it is still Ukraine’s choice whether to use this or not.

Sounds like it’s time to destabilize the government and overthrow the presidency.

Maybe the Assembly can’t do it, but the people sure could.

I’ll take this down since it’s on the wrong place.

I would rather give them a higher amount of higher-cost and more accurate weapons. I know why the US wouldn’t, and why Ukraine accepts this. It’s their choice in the end.

I don’t think we particularly need to celebrate this though.

Almost every historical culture has had at least 3 gender roles, third gender usually being ‘effeminate male’

two clearly gay women

Or perhaps, to phrase it like a historian - roommates accidentally buried together

“In the past, it was not uncommon for an archaeologist to find (remains) and say, ‘OK, this individual has a sword and a shield. Therefore, he’s a man.’ Of course, deeply mistaken, because it assumes that in the past gender roles were the way we conceive them today,” García Sanjuán said.

Just to put it out there, but no serious archeologist has believed this for a while.

Consider the two clearly gay women burried together in an Old Norse tomb, with their cannabis seeds and Swastika-engraved Buddha statue. The idea that male dominance and disarming of women is universal is not something anyone can believe after making a serious study of history.

Just consider the Albanian women who took up male identities to become warriors. Note that I’m still referring to them here as women since arguably these historical practices are less about trans identity and more about social positions.

Just as a mod note, since this is about spreading environment harms, it seems to fit with "News that is American but has an international facet " to my eyes. I don’t see a reason to move this to usnews exclusively.

Sounds pretty authoritarian if you ask me

So what this probably means in practice is that this power is assured to be abused to target activists and civil disobedience.

As is tradition, whenever a repression institution is created, it’ll be used almost exclusively on the left with a few token Nazis thrown in if they get a little too terroristic for the current tastes of the powers that be.

There are many examples of riots working, and many examples of strikes that don’t.

The English language article includes the wording delinquency. You’d say this is a false description, based on the French article?

Le Pen, yes.

There needs to be an alternative to both Macron and Le Pen. I would love to see Macron forced to retire, though considering his authoritarian impulses, it seems unlikely without a vote of misconfidence from parliament.

Note that I’m not super familiar with French political process, so I’m not totally sure how that’d need to play out.

Another time, don’t forget to set the language to English rather than Undetermined! It’ll give your post a broader reach.

To my eyes, Macron clearly has some egotistical and authoritarian impulses.

He clearly seems to believe that he knows better than other people, and has little patience for what they want or say.

I don’t think I understand what you mean. Are you asking about the origin of patriarchy and rape culture?

I think that this would be better suited for a tech news community, but, I’m not going to remove it at this point.

It did seem like they were speedrunning towards getting people to ignore twitter links.

Very fair point.

Seems like these great powers - USA and China - are both increasingly operating outside their national borders.

For sure, improvements to law are likely to also benefit male-assigned victims. It’s mostly the wording I have a problem with- Believing that they can do better.

Unfortunately, it even used to be law and not just culture, that consent was not required within marriages.

It’s been a long and uphill struggle but this seems like an important step.

I do find it frustrating that in these discussions, the assumption is often implicit that women are raped, and men are perpetrators. Which is extremely false and carries harms to men and boys who are victimized, or anyone including girls and women who are victimized by women. The MEP’s could stand to use more broad wording here I think.

We can pay for it by eating just a few of the rich.

You can see on their profiles I believe

Can’t blame em for trying to win the cat/mouse game of adblocking.

IDK; I blame them.

YouTube has become part of the world’s social infrastructure. In a way, it is the town square.

Frankly it should be publicly owned.

Honestly, could we ignore him? He’s a fringe candidate with a near-zero chance of reaching nomination. What impact does he have on the race other than to act as a potential spoiler and distraction candidate?

Lula’s new regime has been a very hopeful thing for me to observe.

Even the steps taken so far to protect the Amazon look very positive.

We are all there with you.

Long before Peterson went into his Russian meat coma, he abandoned his patients and left them with a message to harass his detractors.

Maybe you’re not one to talk Jordan.

Can always wheatpaste some anti capitalist propaganda, that’s productive, nonviolent, and due to ease of removal may have lower fines if caught.

It happens

No, I mean that I trust them to want to keep selling me Linux games :)

It would have been the end of democracy in the USA, effectively. If “independent legislature” had passed, republican states would have never accepted an election result again.

I trust that they want my money

Best of luck to her!

Wouldn’t she be the first federal congressperson elected, but not the first in a state jurisdiction? I’m not fully with the state of American politics but I thought there was another transperson in a state legislature.

It’s almost like this guy Putin isn’t that trustworthy, and might not have everyone’s best interests at heart.

Shocking, I know.
