I wonder why this isn’t a class action. Maybe they thought they could win more this way?

I wonder what’s gonna happen if other courts find different verdicts, or different compensation values…

It’s like they could create a socialist party, so that America actually has at least one left-leaning party.

No, the mainline Democratic party is nowhere near being left wing.

He’s much better at communicating and dealing with the present day republican tactics than most in the party, but we know that, at heart, they all have corporate greed as their master.

This is astonishing.

He’s hoarding the profits of automation for himself, while socializing the lost wages and poverty that will come from this.

But the issue is that we know full well that they’ll escape paying out their massive profits as taxes, which is what MUST happen for the model to work. Shareholder payouts need to be taxed at like 50+% rate or even more.

Boots be made for walking. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a place that’s not struggling with fascism nowadays, or free from patriarchal tendencies, but I assume you’re in the US, in which case many countries are indeed better.

“Highlight the danger and promise to destroy it” is absolutely useless. You’re letting the narrative be dictated by the other side, you’re jumping head first into a mud pool to fight a hog and not only do you expect to win, you think you won’t even get dirty.

Mamdani is winning because, thankfully, he’s much smarter than that. He’s throwing punches against stuff that people hate and personally affects them.

The left just doesn’t know how to react, and they’re not learning.

“That’s racist, that’s islamophobic, you can’t say that!!11!”, while absolutely true, is the wrong response.

They are baiting for this response, so that they can whip up their audience with the usual rhetoric of “calling it like it is, being cancelled, snowflakes” blablabla.

The correct response is “CUOMO’S DESPERATE”. “He’s getting destroyed so he’s grasping at straws!”, etc.

Don’t stoop down to fight a pig in the mud, you’re gonna lose.

That is the American approach to legislation: get in as many laws that favour you or your sponsors, and pray the courts let at least some of them through.

That’s not how this is meant to work. The courts shutting down a law is a last measure, when everything else has failed and hell’s about to break loose.

If that’s why you think they’re wankers, I have news for you.

Vance is a puppy, maga will tear itself apart.

That’s the correct approach. Keep calling out the obvious dementia, the guy’s barely a vegetable. Just look at the recent speech with the generals , the orange turd is unrecognisable, he barely moves.

Sir YES SIR.

Plus we were playing Mario Kart at the time. Where was Rittenhouse at that time though, huh?

This strategy is absolutely unviable in the West.

Instead, the dumbest idiots with a useful narrative are given massive megaphones and drown out everyone else.

Say what you want, but looks like a pick your poison kind of situation to me…

The report only covers Europe, but its conclusions do not mirror yours:

Intersex people are the only LGBTIQ group that has not experienced a drop in discrimination since an earlier survey in 2019.

To be honest, I’m confused about this too.

How are 40% of respondents being harassed at work for being intersex? How do people even find out?

Only about 30% of the people surveyed identify as cis, and around 15% describe their orientation as heterosexual, so I’m sure that they definitely face many of the same struggles that the LGBTQIA+ community faces as a whole.

But why would discrimination at large be decreasing, except for intersex people? Maybe they’re feeling more empowered to come out, and people don’t know how to react?
I would even expect, if anything, that bigots would be more understanding of someone for whom Nature made life “visibly” harder, but maybe I’m just naive.

In any case, it doesn’t seem like the study sheds enough light on this, hopefully more studies will follow so that we can find a way to do better.

I don’t think it’s related to patterns, it’s the methodology.

Sure, there’s some groundwork that needs to be memorized in different fields, but this is like learning your first words. These are necessary so that we can communicate with each other, and they serve as building blocks upon all rest is built upon.

Everything else we are mostly taught by learning how some old guy came up with an answer, making clever use of the tools that we also have.

After a while it sort of clicks that there’s a method to the madness, you build up and up until you get to the moon, and you get this feeling that anything can be explained logically - we might not know how yet, but surely it will be at some point.

Unless it’s quantum physics, fuck that.

It feels like there’s a lot of people who skipped these building steps, maybe they were just memorizing stuff to get by the exams without exercising their brains on the methods to reach those solutions, or were simply never taught, and now they just don’t have the tools to make sense of what’s around them, and will blindly follow a monster that assures them that they’ll be ok as long as they do this or that…

Absolutely not, this is not democracy. In a democracy, you would vote out the corrupt party and continue with your life.

This is a revolt, and it’s what happens when a government, of any kind, fails its people and also fails to provide them a means of legitimately changing the system.

Doubling down on repression to keep the current system is what leads to rebellion. Seems like the government has backed off, but the seeds are already there…

As is always the case, people don’t go out risking life and limb because they’re mildly inconvenienced, no matter how the broader media tries to paint it.

They do it because they’re being systematically deprived of the very last few footholds they have on survival, on an escape, on a way forward with their lives.

When you squeeze people so much, they have no option - if I’m going to starve to death as a slave, might as well cut out the long suffering and bring some of them down with me. That’s the general atmosphere here…

Nah it’s fine, the jobs are gone anyway because China used to buy monstrous quantities of soybeans from the US, and will buy 0 in the last trimester - here’s a link from Reuters. Brazil, Argentina, Chile have ramped up their production massively to accommodate the demand.

Since the jobs are now in other places, no point migrating to the US.

That’s one way of solving the migration issues - nuke the economy and destroy the jobs, so people no longer come.
