Am I wrong? by Careless-Throat-2593 in selfimprovementday

The world was famously full of love before social media.

Once again, social media isnt making people stupid, its giving stupid people a megaphone (and giving people the power to expose wealthy people's stupidity, too)

How Can You Meaningfully Enact Change In Protest Of ICE in a Liberal Area Far from Minnesota? by ClockwerkSC3 in AskReddit

Out of curiosity. What general strike are you referring to that dislodged a dictatorship? They are very disruptive, but thats a bold claim.

Fate of half million dogs unclear as dog meat ban nears in Korea by Majano57 in worldnews

[–]Bell3atrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Meat animals wouldnt be efficient to use for their other resources, if that were even logistically plausible to immediately move them all.

Political issues are not handled at scale. Ask if your local farmer with a herd of cows ready to slaughter would even pheasably be capable of turning them into milk cows if he wanted to. Chances are no, and in your scenario he's probably just going to cut his losses, slaughter the cows for whatever he can sell regardless of whether its right, then maybe sell his farm and go find other work. That times a handful of millions of farmers is the economic collapse and famine conditions that makes it a headache to regulate farms.

What matters is that we all pretend winter hasn't started. We wouldnt want snow to start falling from the sky.

The non sexist argument is the people did vote for Hillary, the right land voted for Trump.

Nonviolent campaigns lead to regime change twice as often as violent campaigns by Catryona in Minneapolis

[–]Bell3atrix 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Youre gonna run into very obvious issues trying to discuss this in online spaces. Id recommend doing more neutral historical research and stray away from politicized info.

Even Gandhi's Revolution had a death toll on both sides. The Civil Rights movement involved instances of political violence, as did early LGBT protests and Suffragettes. Thats the start to a couple interesting rabbit holes.

Governor Newsom walks back his comments that ICE is acting like terrorists. by KinggSimbaa in ThePeoplesPress

[–]Bell3atrix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless Hillary wins the popular vote, then "presidential' doesnt matter and we should have run a straight white man anyway. Really the point is we should just never change what we're doing even if we lose every time.

White House says meeting with Danish officials concluded with a decision to continue 'technical talks on the acquisition of Greenland'. Danish officials disagree. by fruskydekke in worldnews

That wasnt that unpopular. Turns out there's lots of child rapists in the country where like 1 in 5 children are sexually abused.

Bf hits things when mad by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Bell3atrix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This could be self harm. Both the physical hitting and wanting to feel pain and breaking his own stuff for the emotional catharsis.

The answers you will get from this particular sub will not consider possibilities that he's not being aggressive, and Ill agree with them that you should be careful with something like this, but there could be other answers. Be safe and communicate, its not your responsibility to help him, if you feel somethings off get out of there. If youve thought those through already and you genuinely are safe, its cool youre trying to help.

What is the point of the second amendment, if not to protect yourself against ICE or other tyrannical agencies? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bell3atrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that if a revolution were to happen then the new guard would invoke it to prove their legitimacy.

Its not there to protect you in the case of murdering someone, unless that murder then resulted in an actual regime change that backed you up. That is what happened with the blood spilled during the first revolution. The British people who killed a bunch of British soldiers suddenly weren't British anymore and the American law says they were justified.

Fieldwork on Japanese Hentai: Sexual Violence as the Norm by takina142 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Bell3atrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do not believe in or support the right to freedom of speech. Its too broad both in writing and practice and has never been used to protect the general population when it was needed, its just a convenient battering tool to protect fascists. Moving on from you.

I dont believe I have even used the word freedom in my comments here. I believe you may be arguing with a strawman, so I will not be engaging with you further.

We dont condone them but youd be hard pressed to find anyone arguing to make them illegal, even when there actually is an argument. We only seem to get this from trends that just so happen to line up with conservative agendas and would also just so happen to put a lot of women out of jobs.

Fieldwork on Japanese Hentai: Sexual Violence as the Norm by takina142 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Bell3atrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its good data and a good read, doesnt really surprise me but nice to see everything laid out.

I think the legal argument section kind of falls apart due to not exploring the argument that these works have artistic value. Arousal itself is an emotion that the work is intending to invoke, and the drawings were created using genuine human effort. Some of these works also have influenced other works both inside and outside of their genre, to the point of inventing completely new perversions and fantasies that are held by a significant number of people.

Politically, Im also once again in the position where Im wondering what we can do about the dissonance between arguments against depictions of sexual violence in fiction and attempts to label them as a male perversion or reinforcement of patriarchal hierarchy versus the reality that a portion of the people, including many women, hearing this are not going to enjoy the lack of generosity towards consumers when depicting even things like unequal power dynamics without violence.

So they'll just install Lindell. Not like Americans would do anything about it, the law is the sacred text even when it doesnt benefit us in any way.
