Than there is no reason to be against american imperialism as long as the countries are already capitalist which is pretty much all of them.

People justifying anything with whatever argument doesn’t make it true?

This did not happen in ukraine though so what are you talking about?

I am not trans but i get sooo frustrated with people even if they are “supportive”.

Like i had a huge fight with a friend bc he said that medical intervention should only be allowed for adults and i was like, the parents of the kids, the kids themselves, their physicians and psychologists says its good for them and statistics agree too and he just wouldn’t stop saying " its just my opinion its just my opinion, why can’t you accept my opinion" Because your fucking opinion is WRONG objectivly WRONG. You didn’t do the tiniest bit of research, you do not have a single argument, i layed it out step by step for you and you still come to the wrong conclusion just say i don’t know enough to have an opinion on this but if you form one and voice it you gotta defend it ESPECIALLY when this community is under threat and your stupid ass “opinion” based on nothing might make the differnce for trans people if they keep their rights or not.

It shouldn’t be controversial to expect that people base their opinion on more than a gut feeling. If you feel “passionate” enough stating your opinion out loud you should feel passionate enough to take like half an hour to get your facts straight. Fucking infuriating .

I am from Austria, “not everything was bad under hitler” was said a LOT by the older generations.

I don’t think a single individual viewpoint is giving a great picture about the overall situation of a country.

I also don’t see why people think they have to pick countries or ideologies like sportsteams. Just look at it with an open mind and take the good parts as inspiration and the bad parts as a warning.

How did they destabalize rusdia?

Klar ist das schwach aber fährst du deshalb nicht mehr mit dem Zug?

Das ist einfach falsch die Wahrscheinlichkeit dass die Praktikanten sinnvolle Bilder zurück bringen geht gegen null.

Ich mags auch nicht, aber wirtschaftlich gesehen ist das schlichtweg nicht behämmert. Den meisten Menschen fällt es nicht auf und wenn ist es ihnen wurscht.

This is just really highly subjective. The US is a huge outlier since your social safety net sucks ass. Your life literally depends of your employer giving you health insurance but the rest of the world is also not that much better.

With the end of the udssr capitalism lost all motivation to proof that it can give workers a better life than communism so it started to become what it was destined to.

A 9-5 regardless of sector was guaranteed to give you a life worth living, your own house, sending your kids to college, a good pension, enough food and some luxeries. Helping the company succeed directly benefitted the worker and the worker could also often be PROUD of what they made collectivly. (obviously not true for all of human history, and we can obviously discuss the ethics of any production across time but true enough for this discussion and the time 9-5 started to be a thing)

Now all the money is going to the top, while you can still have a decent life in some sectors it is much harder. The dream of owning your home is out of reach for many, it feels like just surviving and not living. There is zero loyalty towards workers.

So a 9-5 today means giving away your lifetime to a heartless coporation doing shit that benefits no one and still die off a preventable diseas in your 2000 dollar roach infested apartment OR you can do odd jobs with less “security” and at least live your life before you meet the same end.

There are a lot of jobs you can do though that pay good enough money and are still flexible where you don’t feed the orphan crushing machine too much and are almost always in demand. You can work and travel, work in the event sector, hospitality or do something in the art sector. I know people managing weed farms getting high every day, traveling yoga teachers, artists who do odd jobs on the side or people who build their own small businesses where they don’t have to work that much anymore and so on and so forth. But it shouldn’t be on us to find meaningful work, the economy should work for us not the other way around.

The comments here are WAY WAY off.

Against popular belief shooters are neither bullied nor are they from broken homes.

Most of them have a antisocial personality disorder come from middleclass homes that are not very involved and they are male without friends. If you are interested in the stats of it all please read up on it, it is interresting but they don’t really explain why there are more shooters in the us than elsewhere, we all have narcissists and uninvolved parents.

I think it is very likely that the culture plays a bigger role than the access to guns. The US shitty gun laws are a symptom of a shitty culture towards violence as a whole. You have this glorification of the individualistic male violent archetype with guns, may it be the military, media or real life people and people with certain mental disorders will latch unto that and internalize this as powerful. (videogames STILL don’t cause real life violence i am talking about the lived culture not media as the scapegoat)

My guess is they feel towards their victims like normal people feel towards inanimate objects who fail them. We don’t function like they want us to or better they didn’t get what they feel like they DESERVE from us and since they are the individualistic, strong main character, we deserve whats coming.

I strongly believe its a mix of specific mental disorders and toxic cultures with a bad understanding of mental health.

Honestly me too. And YES i am biased as hell here. I don’t like people in general and my objective opinion is that power will attract the wrong people regardless of gender.

BUUUT my subjective experience will not let me believe that women in charge would not change things for the better overall. From a purely curious place i would really like to see how it would work out, a failure would be just as interresting to me as a success.

I want to add that i also believe the main problem of patriachy is not the oppression of women but the oppression of “female” coded traits. What i would really like to see is a society that favors empathy and collaboration, i don’t need women in charge for that and i certainly don’t base my support for anyone on their genitals, that would be crazy.

You mean the propaganda against feminism, worked on you?

When you say “Solution” your endgoal would have to be that the ad creep ends and this isn’t done through personal consumption fir various reasons.

I start by telling you i am already participating in ethical consumption for decades you know what changed? Nothing.

1. The adcreep isn’t the main problem our economy rewards cut throught capitalism.There are already enough reasons to stop buying shit but people keep doing it.
2. Second Hand, i already by almost exclusivly second hand and so many others do that so second hand prices where raised so much that it often isn’t cheaper anymore. If second hand became so popular that the industry needs to react they will just addcreep for “second hand”
3. Repairing things is easier said than done, things aren’t made to last long, repairing them is very timeconsuming if you have no idea how it is done. Spending money and freetime on something that you can just buy new for cheap is unrealistic on a bigger scale.
4. buying from smaller brands from where? Any supermarket belongs to a megacorp. Just research what brands belongs to which supercorp. You almost can’t escape it. And even if you buy from small unifiliated brands once they get too popular big corp is just scooping them up.

I could go on and on but the main problem is that you would need a critical amount of people doing the same as you and they will not people will take the easiest way and you can be mad about it but you shouldn’t blame them. The crux of the issue is how the economy works. We need regulation that forces companies to act responsible anything else is doomed to fail. I am not saying don’t consume ethical where you can but if you want to really have an impact you need to focus on politics.

I am very sorry to tell you but no, people will not stop contributing once they know.

1. People don’t really care about anything not effecting them directly and immidiatly. Thats just the truth look around.
2. Don’t tell your neighbors to change, they will react hostile and you will probably drive them away further. ALWAYS talk about how these companies are mistreating THEM.

Personal responsibility is a brainwashing tactic from big corp to blame yourself and your neighbour for systematic Problems they created. Don’t fall for it.

They don’t think they have anything to hide because they think of it as “evil activity”

Reframe it, like sure you are not doing anything bad but these companies don’t care about criminal or evil behaviour. For them you are like livestock you only serve one purpose: making them money, there are no morals involved. They would sell your data to absolutely anyone for any reason! YOU can’t think of anything bad they could do with your data because YOU are not evil but THEY absolutely are. If an evil person wants your data you shouldn’t give it to them because they WILL find a way to use it against us, its a law of nature just like gravity.

Bei einer Rave Party würde ein Rechter der die “linken gutmenschen” nicht mag genausogut passen.

Rechte Gewalt schaut aber sehr oft anders aus und findet viel weniger mediale beachtung. Rechte und Islamisten sind sich zwar sehr ähnlich aber aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten beider Gruppen machen sie sich schlichtweg anders bemerkbar.

Wir sollten alle keine voreiligen Schlüsse ziehen.
