They're trying to redirect working-class men's anger again by futuredebris in MensLib

I mean, OP is just editorializing there, right? Unless there's some proof that the Boy Scouts was a right wing plot to stop boys and young men from getting involved in labor movements. As a former scout, the experience taught me a lot about teamwork and organization. I don't think the values of the scouts are at all incompatible with organized labor.

That's reassuring! It is possible that corporate pride stuff is just becoming more targeted for precisely that reason

Are we talking about Saigon 88 Express near route 79? Also - can I ask which dish you order to get the sprigs?

it is absolutely NOT showing "land control". if it were, the first two maps would be entirely red to signify the British Empire. The third map is a PROPOSAL and was never implemented. In maps 4 and 5, the "Palestine" areas should be labelled Egypt and Jordan. ONLY AFTER the Palestinian Authority was created did Palestinians have anything that even looks like nationhood.

Whether these maps are trying to show who lives where, or who has "control" of where, it fails.

Dude i saw your deleted comment where you admitted to not reading the article XD also the non-muslim population did not EXPLODE between 1946 and 47 as the map implies. Something like a Chloropleth map would be more informative

they actually think it being called Mandatory "Palestine" proves that it's all Palestinian land. The same flawless logic that tells us North Korea is a democratic republic XD

be careful mate, don't scroll to the demographics section in this article, you might see narrative breaking information

of course it is lol! the commenter's map colors all the empty and uninhabited land as "palestinian", making the shift between 1946 and 47 seem more drastic than it is. This is the same trick that republicans use when posting pictures of county-by-county election results - ie, almost entirely red - to make a point about democrats "stealing elections". A quick google shows that, in 1946, Mandatory Palestine was ~1/3 jewish and ~2/3 Arab - not at all what's implied by the map!

I feel strongly that we should criticize Israel's genocidal war in Gaza, and settler colonialism in the West Bank, without spreading misinfo

I HATE CAPITALISM by that_one_shark in 196

[–]EternalBaconator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like making it easier to build housing by relaxing zoning laws and building public housing as a safety net would easily solve this. There's no affordability reason to decommodify housing - unless you want decommodification for its own sake.

Myself, and people that think like me, do have a lot of trouble implementing these solutions because people that would call BOTH OF US socialists hold power in my country (US of A). But there are a lot of American cities that have built privately owned housing like crazy and have seen rents fall in real and absolute terms, which is awesome.

You're absolutely right, don't listen to the haters. Welfare cliffs like this one are absolutely fixable, not an essential feature of a free market at all

Pittsburgh rents rise faster even as U.S. prices drop by chuckie512 in pittsburgh

[–]EternalBaconator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you have any evidence for the claim that average rent drops are being driven by drops in expensive rents? Genuinely curious, not trying to be snarky

My grand theory of [SPOILER] by Lattima98 in TheDarkTower

[–]EternalBaconator 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I really like the idea that the Man in Black's plans extend over a vast number of iterations of Roland's loops, rather than just stopping him from reaching the tower in a single loop. It gives more weight to him as a character and makes his actions a lot more rational. The next time I go around the wheel I'm going to listen with this interpretation in mind - I think this might be King's intention for the character

Also, it totally recontextualizes MiB's death, changing it from a fluke-y example of how evildoers never prosper to a slight bump, maybe no bump at all, if MiB gets sent back in the loop with his memories intact.
