You would have to believe that people are willing to sacrifice to protect their communities but people aren’t even willing to look at windmills to protect their communities from climate change. Which does not mean they don’t want to keep their community as it is, they might just be to afraid and/or selfish to join themselves.
If people were guided by some intristic “goodness” we wouldn’t have such a shit society in the first place.
Meh people aren’t really known to do the “right” thing if they would we wouldn’t have had war in the first place. Also people might be fully supportive of a war but don’t want to get their hands dirty themselves.
The natural conclusion would be that any country forcing its people to fight will probably have an advantage over any country that doesn’t and if that country overtakes you you get conscripted anyway.
It really isn’t in my experience. They wouln’t be rightwingers if they truly cared for people.
No!
I am not one of the people who say you can’t possibly give consent while under the influence BUT everyone has the obligation to NOT DO anything to a person that they might not like.
If you fuck a drunk person and than that person says you raped them you did not make sure they were able to really consent.
For this specific case you don’t seem to have the empathy to understand, a person who is so drunk that they were not able to consent in the first place than them saying yes or no to specific acts has like no meaning at all.
If you have ever been blackout drunk you should be able to imagine that saying no or yes really loses all meaning in that situation.
Than you should know that if your daughter gets raped she will think about what you said about the thing she was doing at the time of her rape and she will feel guilty.
By questioning a victims choices you are legitamizing their rape, a message heard loud and clear by the perpetrater as well. No amount of “off course it is never okay” is going to change what message you are sending.
Could you please make a list for us dumb women so we can know what we can do without getting raped? We clearly need some help building our own prisons here.
Did it ever cross your mind that in order to live a free life we HAVE TO live with the risks that come with it?
If i look at the statistics the whole world is a fucking no go zone for us.
Maybe don’t call them assholes for that.
I am not from tge US but it’s so frustrating, we really shouldn’t support this infighting. Anyone still supporting Israel IS disgusting, people are rightfully pissed of about this.
I still believe that there is no way forward other than voting Dem but the infighting and namecalling and belitteling of each other is infuriating.
This really just feels like another devide method of the ruling class.
If you want to beat the Rep you need more solidarity in the left wing and this starts by communicating like adults.
Like most people in all of history we wouldn’t have opposed the normalized oppression of other people, yes this is a fact.
But you are saying people during slavery were wrong for voting in favor of less slavery because it didn’t start with full human rights for slaves so they shouldn’t have voted at all.
People aren’t spineless for believing in a different strategy and even if they where, you are not selling your point of view very well. The sucess of your strategy would mean conving enough people not to vote and just name calling is not doing much.
There is the obvious Problem of all democracies and especially the US System but i don’t really see how more power to republicans will ever come close solving this.
I am very open to all kinds of strategies but i have yet to see any kind of data that suggests even more fascism will lead to a better outcome.
I don’t think this means they are actually pulling out.
Its unclear to me if the 36% is bc they already have the tech so they don’t plan to invest further and new adoption don’t happen bc everyone who “needs” it already has it or if the ones who have it are planning to get rid of it.
To me it just sounds like the people at the top didn’t foresee the problems that actually arise in a real world setting and their overconfidence gets adjusted to a more reasonable outlook but the self checkout will not go anywhere, 36% is still a pretty big number, self checkout might just not be feasible for a lot of places in the first place.
I see it being implemented in more places not less, they are just finetuning it now.
The sexualization is not a problem on its own the objectification that often comes along with it is as well as the “unspoken” rule that only allows conventionally attractive people to be viewed in a sexual context.
People don’t lose their personhood by being, acting or shown in a sexual context but many do absolutely not view it that way.
The problem i see is that since this mostly happens in visual media without context all meaning it could have is more often than not lost. If sexual content was created with a positive attitude we would see much more diversity. It is very obvious that it caters to people objectifying the protagonists and therefore its not that easy to blatantly approve of it.
This should off course not translate to shaming people in general but it should trigger nuanced debate and action.
Which means no purity culture. BY NOT PUTTING ANY PRESSURE on the first time.
If YOU tell your kids it is special than YOU don’t let them experience it how they naturally would.
Its about the cult of virginity not about you.
Thats why you hammer safe sex into them and that casual encounters are worth your consideration as well. This isn’t a one time discussion, it should be ongoing. It helps if you treat sex like something normal so the kids don’t feel stupid putting on a condome and respect EVERYBODY not just the “good girls” that
Nobody is saying that and that you are still bringing it up lets me doubt your mental capabillities.
SOCIETY should not tell the RAPE VICTIM that the VICTIM is DAMAGED.
Dude you don’t decide if people are respecting their bodies the right way. This IS some puritanical shit.
If you are so fragile that the wrong vag will destroy you than please do your dew dilligence and don’t fuck anyone you haven’t vetted thouroughly. But don’t speak like you have any authority over the rest of us.
First no, my first time wasn’t that great and i sincerly do not care about it at all. I still don’t get why everyone makes such a fuss about it.
Second this is not even what the tweet is about, it speaks about the expectation of young women to guard their virginity like a treasure and if they “fail” to give their virginity (as if it was present), to the perfect partner they somehow “got taken advantage of” and people pretend it changes something fundemantal about the girl.
Rape victims who didn’t have sex before the rape suffer especially under this. On top of the trauma they also get the message that they lost something important, are fundamentally lesser because of a dick that was inside of them.
This tweet is saying men aren’t special enough to take anything important from you just because their dick was inside of you, you aren’t funamentally changed, you don’t need to stress too much about it.
Virginity is just a concept, its not that deep. Otherwise lesbians would be virgins forever.
Maybe because they weren’t actually shaming any class.
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?
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.
Sure, you will not get it to zero though and there really is no reason to put people in more danger than necessary.
