The Leninist Grindset
In lefty circles such as most of Lemmy, “gender” refers to the social norms and expectations that are attached to sex.
Personally, I think choosing the word “gender” to describe gender roles was a mistake. A call to abolish gender norms seems pretty reasonable, but if you’re uninformed about this definition the call to abolish gender sounds utterly deranged.
The many-angled ones live at the bottom of the Mandelbrot Set.
One of the few times Reagan did something good
Comrade, the USA was founded by rich businessmen, and organized primarily to defend the class interests of that group.
The nation-state has at various points hunted down runaway slaves (Fugitive Slave Act of 1850), used the national guard to put down strikes (the Ludlow Massacre, the Lattimer massacre, the breaking of the Homestead Strike, the West Virginia Coal Wars…), fought violently against peaceful protesters (Kent State shootings, pretty much every protest of the Civil Rights Movement, the DNC protests of 1968, various incidents during the Floyd protests…), arrested and murdered people for ideology rather than proof of actually committing a crime (Sacco and Vanzetti, the Haymarket Martyrs…), drugged and murdered Fred Hampton as he slept next to his pregnant fiance, funded dozens of coups against democratically elected leaders because they were left-leaning, and done countless other things. This is aided by the permanent death grip that capital has on the country.
Even if the process of getting elected was completely untied to wealth (hahaha) and lobbying didn’t exist (lol), at the end of the day the economy is controlled by the capitalists and they can bring a country to its knees if it doesn’t obey. Capital strikes and the threat of disinvestments and layoffs are powerful.
It’s not a bug. It is a feature.
Sorry. Closest we’ve got is the John Brown Gun Club.
I am indeed aware that philosophers are not a monolith. They are, however, way more likely to like Freud.
There are counter-trends, but there is a lot of Freudian shenanigans about. The fact that they are a major force bothers and intrigues me.
Your psychologists are Lacanian? And I thought it couldn’t get any weirder after being told you fellows get blue dollars from caves.
Look up “penis envy”. Or “Oedipus complex”. Or some of his views on women.
I get that for the artists, but what about the philosophers? Are they not big dick academics who will lose their standing if their ideas are nonesense?
It takes just as little time to remove the .m. yourself, maybe even less.
I myself do indeed remove the .m.s from my links out of politeness, but it is impolite to demand that others do this.
One of the absolute best videos on the Internet is “The Alt-Right Playbook: Always a Bigger Fish” by Innuendo Studios.

It made things snap together and finally understand why conservatives are the way they are.
Relevant to this news story, they assume that libs and lefties are just like them and are doing the same things they are: pulling every dirty trick in the book to ensure the superiority of their guys and the screwing over everyone different.
Why is the biggest piece of Nazi scaremongering the alleged “fact” that white people are becoming a weak minority? Because they think the black folk will do exactly what they’ve been up to.
One of the big points was that even the rich wives had a horrendous life. Indeed, even the men.
Serena Joy hated her situation, did she not?
Can you please define what you view as “populism”? For whatever reason every time someone says it they either mean a definition so vague and broad that it means almost any mass movement or definition different from any other I’ve heard.
I have spent the past few weeks constantly getting more and more confused.
In my country they’re anti-death-penalty, courtesy of Catholicism. I hate how they made ectopic pregnancies into death sentences but props to them for consistency I guess.

FPTP tends towards a two-party system. CGP Grey made a video about it.
Extremists tend to have anime pfps. Conservatives listen to the radio way more often, and are pretty much the only audience of radio talk shows. Progressives have a tendency to consider the implications of the media they consume way more than conservatives. Liberals tend to play tabletop games more often than other political groups. Socialists (of all variations) are the most likely group to have taken unconventional lifestyle choices (i.e. they’re vegan, live in a commune, make their own clothes, etc.). Authoritarians are obsessed with “the natural order”. This tends to shine through in the justificationns they give for their political beliefs. Anarchists/Libertarians shy away from the mainstream of literally anything (punk rock is a shining example, as is their prevalence here).
“Cincinnatus was an opponent of the rights of the plebeians (the common citizens) who fell into poverty because of his son Caeso Quinctius’s violent opposition to their desire for a written code of equally enforced laws”
Hey, he had at least one thing in common with The Cheeto Man.
