I don’t contest any of this. It doesn’t negate the main point I was making. You’re really invested in digging down

I think the men on this platform struggle with any topic relating to the other gender. Case in point: needing to frame every problem exclusively through the lens of class struggle, even if it means demeaning the strugge of women or minorities. It’s weird

You didn’t disprove anything though. The perpetrators were predominantly male. Before you start screeching Gisslaine stop and reflect

Tin hat contd: in other words, by keeping the discourse in the abstract birds eye view of theory and never addressing concrete issues (such as gender inequality), the conversation can self replicate endlessly without an exit path towards actionable items.

Tin hat off

Once again, Lemmy proving that tunnel vision and framing Every.Single.Issue through class struggle exclusively betrays a fundamental sense of empathy and understanding of any other topic whatsoever

I get it. You guys are experts on leninist theory. There are other issues happening concurrently. We can work to solve class inequality without dismissing the struggle of women or those faced by minorities. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Tin hat on: I am starting to think this dismissive strategy is intentional. There feels like an undercurrent of self sabotage intended to dilute the efforts of building a movement around class consciousness by deliberately undermining others struggles. I can’t prove this of course. The more likely reality is Lemmy is overwhelmingly men, and men in tech. Their frame of reference is… Not the greatest when it comes gender issues

Why do you think they are mutually exclusive? I hate Lemmy sometimes. So incredibly myopic and laser focused one particular perspective.

Asking people to provide case examples of something so basic is not “having a discussion”. It’s a deliberate attempt to put the onus - again- on women to defend their position. Because you can’t extend any grace to their point of view. Some self reflection is warranted

I don’t understand people who dismiss an entire gender’s lived experience. How can you be so patronizing

It can be both. Both things can exist simultaneously. They are not mutually exclusive. I hope you understand that

“but don’t you know it’s just the duopoly behaving as designed; wake up man”. I’ve heard all the arguments.

So just curious, what does the DINUM do exactly?

I swear if she runs I’m writing in Trump for a third term. I swear to god. Please. No. Kamala, go home. You’re drunk.

In this case it’s the entire government top-down. It’s not just a jurisdiction. They have probably weighed the cost benefits of transitioning vs throwing money at Microsoft forever

Yea Ok, but Hassan only cares about clout. That’s it. He found his grift on the left and has capitalized on it. Any attempt to build coalitions, lift up the left or acquire power for the movement is undercut by his need for more clout. He’s not the ally the movement needs, but a peak representation of superficial rhetoric that the left seems to be drawn to these days. The medium is the message or whatever

Man, destiny sure lives rent free in your heads holy shit.

What does Gimp do that Krita (or other FOSS projects) can’t?
