  • uh interesting. I think I like the setup of the joke in this one more but it is basically the same joke yes.

  • Man charged with attempted rape of person who died on New York subway

    Jump

  • Hmm okay I think I get your point but I don‘t know if I follow the premise that a narrow definition of rape is ultimately better for rape survivors/victims.

    I think I would argue that especially in public discourse opening up what sexual harassment is and how we define rape allows more victims to step forward and share their experiences.

    In the example for male rape survivors for example a common contention to not believe them is that they could physically overpower their abuser. And awareness work aims to show that even strong men can be forced and coerced. (The actor from Brooklyn 911 was an example for that discourse)

    So that’s why I would not feel its a disservice if we call it rape because as the others have mentioned, it hinges a lot on the fact that we have learnt that the victim was dead at that time.

    Just wanted to share my perspective but I feel I get yours a bit better now

  • Dem Senator Says Party Needs to Stop Attacking ‘Oligarchy’ and Focus on Losing ‘Woke’ Reputation

    Jump

  • I see yes. Thanks for giving more context.

    I do think they should actively start talking about candidates for sure yes. So I very much agree with her on this.

  • Dem Senator Says Party Needs to Stop Attacking ‘Oligarchy’ and Focus on Losing ‘Woke’ Reputation

  • I mean I can kinda see the point of using kings instead of oligarchy. But using oligarchy is a bigger stab at the billionaires in the room as well so I still think it captures a bigger part of the problem.

    Otherwise I think I‘m down for her saying that she wants to get stuff done but I mean is she? I‘m totally uninformed but being highly ignorant it reads a bit like a whatever statement. Like you mentioning it is also just a performative act so yeah shrug

    I do think the Dems have a problem in establishing words and totally losing the plot or narrative control over their words. Woke totally slipped into an insult and I don‘t think that was an unavoidable thing. I think if Dems would go for more public social policies they would get a lot of the votes back they have been shedding but I think their oligarchic interests are in their way. Like Harris could’ve just campaigned on getting SOME change done and I think more people could’ve warmed up to her but that particular ship has sailed.

    Thanks for linking the article and centring the discussion.

  • Happy birthday, Lenin!

    Jump

  • Yes I get that. I‘m looking forward to reading the comment and article you have linked and thanks for the insightful perspective. I hope you have a lovely day

  • Happy birthday, Lenin!

  • interesting, thanks for writing it down like this.

    If you allow the random question, is this persistence of class between communes also the reason you shifted from anarchism to Marxism? Because I think you do make a persuasive point and would like to know what changed your trajectory/mind.

  • If It Wasn't For "US" She'd Speak Empathy In German

    Jump

  • I think they are thinking of the statue of liberty because she was in the news recently that the one French politician asked for her back. But yes, totally not the same statue/person referenced

  • The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing, it really did feel like a sketch out of the movie.

    I guess I would also focus on the dog and the niece when they are more approachable and not as combative and so many people in your family are changing quite profoundly

    I hope you have a lovely day without phone calls!

  • Judith Butler, philosopher: ‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’

    Jump

  • In what way? As far as I know they have spoken out against TERFs and the like and are themselves not identifying as cis.

    Specifically I know they have always argued for a more open and inclusive perspective of womanhood so I‘m unfamiliar on how they would be problematic.

  • Inspired by another post

    Jump

  • yes I really liked it. Even the analysis/hypothesis that it really is the moment of „not getting pandered to“ that enrages that demographic. Any moment they do not feel like the target audience they take grave offense.
