Looks more like a few hours of cramping body and soul followed by 3 days of emotional hangover

So close to not denormalizing gay men, yet...

Oh god please no, please don't escalate this war by adding the killer kind of weapons to it

1. Tiniest fraction of single use plastic
2. Could be recycled or reused/resterilized
3. What flavour of skepticism are you trying to perform rn?

The magic about collective action is that the everyday-normal-coorperation of humans comes up with solutions for everyone. The pointer to individual decision-making in lack of collective action thus doesn't work as a measure of how serious people are.

Also seen in episodes like

"Oh, you are wearing shoes made under unfair conditions?!"

And

"Oh there is fossil fuel in your energy consumption?"

Or

"Oh if you like democracy so much, why do you exist in a not-so-democratic-country?"

100k drones a month?!

This is a surprisingly hight number :o. Then again saying this already feels stupid since the answer is probaby just industrial warfare or smth.

This is a week analogy.. french only works as a means of communication because it has internal rules that are objective (as in different people understand the same/very similar thing when hearing/seeing a symbol/word).

Singularity of experience is cool, but anything social requires communication/synchronization.

Even though gender is used as a box or definition people are forced to fit into (and this is bad), reducing human experience to a blackbox kind of singularity is a highly individualist take.

You can work on understanding each other without forcing anyone to fit into your definition..

I don't know which one is actually worse.

A nostalgia themed glamourizing of brutality right next to "unwanted people". No explanation of how those two things connect, so all that stays is the association.

Kind of on a neuro-marketing like level of discours (just strenghtening your associations by creating emotions or atmosphere) he is mobilizing violence against immigrants. (And normalizing violence as a means of governing in general)

Grind'em down with tiny progress

Whats going on ITT?

You fluffin find out where that insecurity comes from and help them build themselves up.

Constructive and empathic (self)critique is how transformation works

I was gonna add "these days" but didn't

And "helping" is still a major understatement

The fight for hegemony is always a cultural one. Cultural workers positioning themselves in political conflicts, IS struggle for ethical-moral leadership. Here society fights out what interpretation of the social world is leading, and thus on the long run, which political alliance will be able to lead society.

Even though this is true for like 90% of my thinking (that I can see when I try), so far I'm concinced this ist because I am a predominantly language-and-normal-grammar-rules thinker.

There are people that mostly think via associations of words that don't have to be formulated/ cast into grammar.

And then there supposedly people mainly thinking in pictures or smth, without words.

Anyways for some people rubber duck mode reoresents a change in thinking method, I think

... they fine just a few people. But most apples are bad cops.

Turns out cringe was life all along

I get the epic of marking climate change as a general human issue by doing stonehenge. Doing, let's say, the wall street bulls statue or smth in London marking climate change as a capital issue would have been smarter thou

Seems rather like he didn't invent it

Can't tell if you're joking or ate the anti-communism-propaganda a donald trump would feed you with

Regarding how rushed international policy-making for the environment and against profitability is not at all a problem has never been and won't be anytime soone, that "scepticism" seems to be the product of "looking for superiority" here, imho

And they live in a filmstudio white house in one continious sitcom and voting is replaced by how many stars you give each episode. A commission of reaction-video-youtubers intetpret the episode to forge the ratings into political policy making

If the 3 are associated, thus inclined to push their narrative it doesn't change much that there are 3 of them, I'd say.

I only read the wiki article and it seems more plausible this (as most things?) was invented by countless little remixes.

Of course an "origin story" is also the more attractive narrative on the recieving side, since you know, people are used to and like stories with clear protagonists

Nah but a fresh tick bite. This means I'm from the future

Oh I see

Oops wrong pic. But I think it also shows how far from this study the claim "30% support putin" is

Paywall at the real article... Why would they?

This is not how you strenghthen solidarity. In case anyone ever gave you warmth when you were struggling to be a nice person: ponder that situation :)

How often did ruling actors of any historic social constellation give up ruling by themselves?

May it be - just spontaneous thoughts here - that those beeing ruled over have to do the emancipation?

Means.tv has a weekly good news thing. Check it out!

Support seems to plainly be the wrong word. "Not as an enemy, as a competitor" is definetly not "support". In my opinion calling it that is more than misleading

So relatable

Objective and socially constructed isn't a 'hard' contradiction.

Yes of course language evolves and so on, but in a given time(period) it needs to be interpretable more or less independently from the specific actor (a dictionary ensures this, even though it needs to be updated regularly).

In other words yeah sometimes language comes up with new stuff. If it would do it all the time, it wouldn't function

Random wrong place I know, but dont wanna bother more people then necessary: Why cant i see upvotes/downvotes?

"I imply therefore I comply"

Wait.. so is it an implication or a complication?

It is not. If it was consensual it might be. If it's real it's not.

Surpressing your empathy in face of dire news is your right. We all have to in order to psychologically survive these times.

I think you shouldn't act out that surpression as a funny joke in public. This adds to the brutalization of the public, wich we can't really afford in these times, if we want them to become more human, more bearable

Lots of points for gryffindor

I understand and totally support that in general. I'm gonna try to explain my point of view.

In this case we don't exactly look at policy-making. Between stating that a majority supports governmental action to ban one use plastics and actual policy is a process.

This process will "forge" the outcome. In it, several conflicting interests will meet/clash and according to the power relations between them, they will be able to enforce their respective will.

Since the power relations are, let's say, fucked up, we are constantly seeing how profit of few overrule need of many and overall rational solutions.

Thats why the criterion "clearness" seems out of place for me at this point. Certanly, before it comes to the actual policy-making, things like the washabillity of surgical equipment will be processed. You will certanly not end up with a dirty scalpel in your body.

That's why the scepticism of your initial comment seemed odd to me.

Don't know if this should be seen as a given standard, or if we ("average lemmy users") should disclaim it more often, but I don't mean to be offensive (even though this format of short message discourse provoces a certain sass). I mean to have meaningful conversation about each others POV's. That's somewhat the point of lemmy, imo.

Okay newsflash +++ It also happend when I click the dots on my own comments, in situations like I forgot to put blank limes betweens my text lines so it doesn't fuck it all up

Ok. Thanks!

I mean so I can't edit
