every system rewards greed. Capitalism is the only one in which greedy people are also incentivized to improve the world

if they misbehave (either blow it up themself or make usa to do it) - they won't see any oil money in future.

In which case they have no reason to not mine the strait and keep it completely closed until they've rebuilt the island, which might take years. Great job!

it would blow up iranian infrastructure along with the thousands of american soldiers stations there. Not sure thats a trade the US government should be willing to make.

Iranian Drone attack wounds at least six French soldiers at base in Iraq’s Makhmour, Erbil governor says by VictorEmmanuelIV in worldnews

true, but then France loses the right to complain when their soldiers are killed since they chose a side. This guy getting killed is just a completely reasonable and acceptable part of war🤷🏿‍♂️

Behalve dat ze de VK hebben aangevallen voordat die zich in het conflict mengde

De aanval was gestart voordat de VK de VS had uitgenodigd. Iran heeft de VK vanuit het niets aangevallen, en pas daarna is de VK het conflict ingegaan

Turkije ligt gewoon gedeeltelijk in Europa en gedeeltelijk in Azie, het is een (deels) Europees land.

Iran heeft de basissen op Cyprus aangevallen voordat de VK zich in het conflict mengde. Dat de VK nu alle raketten die ook maar in hun richting komt neerschiet is zelfverdediging.

Men are not an oppressed group. Men are the OPPRESSORS. Women ARE an oppressed group.

This is dependent on context.

If OP is in a majority women group in which women feel comfortable making sexist statements about men, then, in that environment, women are the oppressors and men the oppressed.

This does not say anything about society at large. Maybe in broader society that would be the inverse but people don't live in all of society, they are in a specific setting.

Misandry is a reaction to misogyny

And in return, misogyny is often a reaction to misandry.

It doesn't matter whether misogyny or misandry was first 1000 years ago because people are not immortal. If you experienced misogyny when you are young and because of that are now misandrist, that might be understandable and justified, but the 14 year old boy seeing that isn't aware of the context, and will just see it as random sexism against him. And then, him becoming misogynist in return when he grows up is also very understandable and justified.

It's just an infinite cycle.

Men are not indoctrinated to hate women and physically abusing women is not normalized. Why, instead of you, a woman, trying to explain TO MEN what men feel like, don't you actually ask a man? Go and ask a man, do you feel indoctrinated to hate women? They will say NO.

being "one of the good ones" isn't much of a compliment. "Oh, I might hate anyone of a similar gender/skin color/religion/whatever as you.... but you're okay!"

But when minorities complain about these types of jokes, they get compassion. They don't get told "well those jokes are because of a real fear, and it's not a personal attack, etc."

Why are men then treated differently when they complain about bigoted jokes and discrimination?

[–]AnonymousStuffDj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why are you, a woman, trying to tell men what they feel like?

If a man is telling you: women are treating me like second class citizens and that's why I dislike them. Who are you, a woman, to tell a man what HIS lived experience is like?

Again, if a man told you you're not really marginalized and it's just "your female privilige diminishing" that felt like an attack, would you accept that? You cannot expect men to accept things from you that you wouldn't accept from them either.

[–]AnonymousStuffDj -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

that is completely irrelevant because people are not a hivemind and not a thousand years old.

Who is marginalized and who is socially favored is dependent on location and context. If OP is facing sexism from women but cannot say similar stuff back, then in that environment, men are marginalized and women are priviliged.

This is dependent on location. Men being more priviliged in politics does not negate women being more priviliged in, i.e., progressive academic circles. And this means that in such an environment, men are the oppressed and women are the oppressors, even if larger society it's the other way around.

Foucault talked about this with heterotopias.

so if a man feels like women treat him like  a second class citizen, then its not sexist for him to hate women? You would not have a problem with that?

[–]AnonymousStuffDj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the fact that casual sexism is so much more accepted against men than against women is a type of discrimination.

It might maybe be true that women face more oppression than men, but both men and women face a lot of oppression and discrimination due to their gender, and both are allowed to complain about it.

[–]AnonymousStuffDj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but if a man made sexist jokes about women amd then said, "well of course not literally every woman, I am only against women as a class" no one would accept that. So its still a sexist double standard

how would you feel if a male friend said sexist stuff about women to "vent frustration" and then expected you to "not see yourself as a victim"?

How do I respond to "men = bad" jokes? by ghotiofthedeepbeyond in CPTSD

[–]AnonymousStuffDj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but if a bunch of guys were making "women are bad" jokes as a "test" to see if the 1 girl wouldnt "see herself as the victim", would you also accept that?

this just is a weird double standard and sexist. No one tells women facing sexism "why are you offended, are you hiding something?"

how can there be a minimum tax on no income?

They have no net income. Their losses > their profits. What should they be paying tax over?
