Assistant to the Vice Rep of the World
That’s very dismissive of the failures the former ruling party had. It’s hard to drum up votes for the guy considered responsible for tanking your county’s economy and spiking the poverty rate.
Like I agree, him winning is unfortunate and short sighted, but I think blaming the victims isn’t going to do anything other than help asshats like him win.
I feel like you didn’t read the opinion piece at all, and just ran with your feelings from the title. In the first two paragraphs the author talks about how I agreed with the strong initial response to the terrorist attack. It’s the wonton targeting of civilians and looking the other way as language of genocide is being used that the author, and every else that I know that isn’t blindly pro one side or the other takes.
It’s less than half, as can be seen by popular vote counts. Still higher than it should be, but if it wasn’t for voter suppression (as laid out in the article) the right would have significantly less power than it currently does.
But who is talking to the boys, but the manosphere?
I think you misread the headline: “[MasterCard] announced this week that it has instructed U.S. financial institutions to stop allowing customers to use its debit cards to purchase marijuana products at cannabis stores…”
I agree that the wording isn’t the best, as it does perpetuate the stereotypes you outlined, but at the same time the fact that it’s so heavily reliant on consent will give male victims a better shot at actually being treated fairly as now they won’t necessarily have to prove unwanted penetration happened.
I’m torn on this one. On one hand, fuck the money grubbing corporations that got themselves into this mess. On the other these closures are creating food deserts.
If Lemmy truly catches on we probably can’t totally prevent an Eternal September, but I do hope we go a long way to staving it off.
If voting didn’t matter the fascists wouldn’t be trying so hard to prevent it.
I definitely don’t want to excuse how ineffective a lot of Democrats have been, but not voting isn’t how you change that behavior; getting more involved is.
