Also that scene was so low energy? These are supposed to be tough speeder tuner punks and instead they look like teenagers dicking around on the scooters at Walmart.

Smoke and fucking mirrors. I hate the people selling the planet.

Wish them a very painful die

I always smile at young kids if they meet my eye in public. Feeling loved and like you’re in a safe stable community is an invaluable part of growing up and I hope that all kids can feel a small amount of that from me.

I just mean it’ll give them access to this block. I don’t think liberals in Japan will jump ship with the west

Japan should just try communism. I hear it works great and then you can cozy up with your neighbors of Russia and China.

I’m a gen-z-er and I remember those. Relatively poorer area though so it may be related

But Trump would be worse!

I have a one plus 9 that I got for like 400. It’s a great device.

Who’s posting this style of propaganda here? Also this is exactly how my Chinese friends write in English. In a webspace that is mostly American it really doesn’t seem that abnormal to contextualize your differing perspective.

Anything is better than nothing comrade. Do your best and be proud of that. Be open to positives and find someone to help you through what’s hard.

Wish you the best,

Means tested genocide!

No necessarily half but that’s the logical result. theoretically there could be some weird group that doesn’t believe in genocide (part of the 69%) but would still support a pro Palestine candidate. Furthermore, as bad as the destruction of Palestine is many people only consider genocide to literally be the Holocaust and that style of commiting it. I could conceive of some pedants saying there isn’t a genocide but to stop the violence.

Though, I unfortunately think you might be right.

The US shooting itself in the foot by making the neocolonialist brain drain strategy fall apart because they’re too racist and paranoid is somewhat funny. Shitty for these people though.

Right, the only value and purpose of arts and literature, it’s creation and enjoyment, is to make a product to sell or consume a story. What a foolish opinion.

Another nation’s airspace

When has China invaded anyone?

Sure, but what about the 500,000 people facing genocide and famine conditions in Gaza while the world just sends ships right on by into Israeli ports? It’s not great. I’m sure there’s food and medicine that’s really needed not getting to the people who do. However, foreign aid hasn’t fixed any of the issues in these regions and it’s wrong to assume that will change in the future.

Furthermore, westerners will always pour out sympathies now that it’s a problem for them. In the past decade we’ve seen the Saudis ruthlessly murder the yemeni people at the behest of the United States. I’m not saying yours are, but most of this is crocodile tears and to pretend otherwise is deliberately ignorant or dangerously naive.

Actually, pissing off the United States is a clear demonstration that it is working.

Israel gets their guns from whom? Whom suffers the most from this situation? Sure it didn’t end the bombing of Gaza because israel is a fascist State. Punching the wealthy in the purse might be the only thing they actually care about. Telling the ghouls that supporting genocide is going to cost you is actually good. Fuck you for saying it’s not.

Intersectionality is the idea that various forms of privilege and circumstance interact with each other to make an individual. Certain influences are more impactful upon a particular person’s circumstances, and thus influence privilege to a much greater extent. The non-linear nature that DinosaurThussy is talking about can better be shown with examples.

If you’re homeless and white it’s clear that you’re in a worse off situation than a billionaire who is black. Class status has a far greater influence on this situation. It would be fair to say that the black billionaire has more privilege due to his class status but not his ethnic identity. That being said, it’s unlikely that the white man was denied a job due to his race in a way a homeless black person may be. Being poor and white and poor and black have many commonalities, but intersectional analysis allows us to understand the different ways and avenues that particular characteristics influences the ways that a person may end up in a particular circumstance.

The idea continues on. A person who is a billionaire may be significantly shielded from a lot of racism, or face it in a less extreme way. For example, that proverbial black billionaire likely wouldn’t have many run ins with racist cops in impoverished neighborhoods. However, he still might face the unifying characteristic of being called a slur by his peers in the way that a poor black person might. His privilege of wealth may not complete inoculate him facing racism at all, even if he faces it in a less extreme way.

In essence, this situation is viewing individuals dialectic-ly. It seeks to understand how all of a person’s identity and circumstances relate to the struggles and oppression certain groups or people may face in society.

Also with the space and cost that’s saved from not having cars you could have completely covered bike lanes
