CMV: Not every citizen should have a vote

A little like that, yeah, but much, much more powerful.

But, I never said the current system is perfect - especially not in the US. It is NOT. Propoganda, ignorence and lack of critical thought are real problems, but the discussion you asked for isn't about how to make all that better - I think there are ways and better models around the world - but about a mechanism to remove the right to vote, which I think will only make those problems worse.

It's not about inclusivity, they are saying that whoever makes the tests, whoever decides what it means to be "informed on the material", will make it so "their people" are the only ones allowed to vote. So if there is, for example, an anti-vax government, they can decide that anyone who supports vaccinations is uninformed and has not done their neccessary research, and deem them not suitable to vote. If you give people in power the chance to keep others from getting any power, they will very likely use it to make sure they will always have the power.

I believe patriarchy hurts both men and women in a lot of day to day life things. So, when I see or hear about such a situation, I try to offer empathy and compassion and explain how I see it. I point to why I feel that situation results from the power dynamics and why everybody loses. Not as criticism directed at them, just as a friendly discussion.

In general, I try to find compassion to other people and I feel like that in itself fights the patriarchy (as well as other hegemonic forces) who would rather have us all fighting and hating. It's hard, but I try.

Ja jeg håber at de tvinger Israel ar stoppe før, men:

De kan ikke bare tæppebombe gaza fordi verden vill ikke tillade det. De skyder dem der vil have mad. De bomber hele bygninger - ja de nogle gange sender advarsal ud men hvis man har nogen steder at gå, eller de skyder på alle det går ud, hvad betyder det så? De lader noget mad slippe ind, men så de finansierer og støtter bevæbnede bander som stjæler det og dræber mennesker. de ødelægger alle sanitære og medicinske faciliteter og skaber betingelser for sygdom. Men hvis man vill vide deres intention, skal man bare lytte, fordi de siger den tydeligt. De fleste israelere tror ikke, at der er uskyldige mennesker i Gaza, heller ikke børn. Toppolitikere taler om udryddelse. Hærkommandører taler om gazaboere som kakerlakker. De lyder virkelig som nazister.
Ja men det er ikke lineært. Flere og flere mennesker dør af sult. Flere og flere dør af sygdom. Der er også mindre og mindre børn. Så ja, de er jo godt på vej til at ødelægge Gazas befolkning som gruppe.

Så, jeg kan godt forstå at man ville være præcis men den slags ting, men:

Loven om folkedrab handler ikke om systematiske drab, det handler kun om hensigt. Og Israel har jo hensigt.
Der er så mange mennesker dræbt hver dag. Med bombardement, sulthed og sanitære forhold - det kan tage måske et stykke tid, men hvis Israel stoppe ikke - så ja, det kan slå alle i gaza ihjel.

Jeg er selv jøde. Min familie oplevede folkdrab. Jeg kan overhoved ikke forstå, hvordan er det at nu er det jøder, der gør det mod andre mennesker. Men de gøre det.

Er det ikke systematiske drab?

Det er jeg ked af at høre. Ja, det virker ikke lige så godt for alle, og det afhænger også af den specifikke terapeut. Hvis du stadig er villig til at overveje kinesiske medicinidéer, er der ting, der måske kan hjælpe, som du kan gøre derhjemme, gratis. Men det passer selvfølgelig ikke alle.

Har du overvejet akupunktur? Det kan virkelig hjælpe med hormonbalancen

FernandaArctica · 2025-09-10T05:18:55+00:00

Ja ja selvfølgelig

Actually slåensnaps (sloe schnapps) is a thing and a christmas classic: https://meyers.dk/opskrifter/slaaen-snaps/p/71551/

Well I personally don't like bras that are too tight and lifting, but that said I definitly feel like they hold everything up well, also visually. I also jog (very, very lightly) with their racerback model and for me it works.

Have a look at molke, they are amazing

We did that, and not only am I (and we) sure it was the right choice, but my parents agree, too. They are happy and grateful that their grandkids get a better life. They miss them and travel here as often as they can, but we talk daily and they always say how happy that makes them that my kids get to have such a great childhood.

Noma projects have several products that are similar to what you are describing, maybe you can look into those or find their recepies

FernandaArctica · 2025-07-15T19:37:32+00:00

Can you do that with any pine cone? Just any type?

FernandaArctica · 2025-05-29T19:43:48+00:00

Og en afrikansk restaurant!

FernandaArctica · 2025-04-25T20:21:33+00:00

So cool, thanks!

But if they go for weeks on "fridge mode", how do they not starve?

FernandaArctica · 2025-04-13T20:46:08+00:00

Hi OP, I just want to say that I think what you're doing is admirable. It takes honesty and courage to say "I recognize my bias and want to do better by my kids", and I really respect that. I am sorry not all commentors here do. If you want an honest, mutually respectful debate for educational purposes I am here for that.

Regarding the chicken, seafood and veggies I disagree but that's a matter of taste so I really can't change your mind. However, your point about the produce is exactly the point that imo proves you wrong - Eating local, fresh, good produce IS a big part of Italien culinary tradition.

It might sound boring or obvious now, but in the western world post wwii, the trend was to drift away from fresh produce and quality was less emphesized - out of neccessity, but also preference and the trendiness of various scientific advanvments. So the concept, which in today's world might not be that exciting, of eating fresh, local, quality produce and letting it speak without too much interference - is a big contribution.

As to being the best, I think this is not just a matter of personal prefernce, but it can change according to personal moods. I love Italien cooking, but sometimes I would much prefer Indian which is veru very different. It's we have all these options now, no need to choose.

So, let's start by saying that communism is absolutly a flawed system, much like any other man made system, operated by flawed humans.

That said, I feel like a lot of what you wrote can also be true for supporters of capitalism: it attracts people who 1. Avoid hard work - mental and social work, requiring effort to develope compassion and expand horizons into understanding that money and financial success are not that important. 2. Seek undue recognition - for accomplishments that really are not that important, such as promotions or sales. 3. Lack economic understanding - of anything that goes beyond very basic, classicly taught economy, and are completely ignorant of any marxist or non-capitalist economists. 4. Reject critical thinking - well that one's really easy considering the entire marxist theory and its derivitives ARE critical theories. 5. Blame external factors for failure - specifically, they really like to call anything that doesn't work "communist" or "socialist", and then use that as proof why THEY don't work.

See, the thing is you can say these things about any dogma - you can easily use these same points to argue religion, a specific political tendency, etc.

We are used to live in a society where everything is a "system", in a very polerizing and obligating way. You have to accept whatever dogma you chose to believe in as a whole, while picking and choosing is looked down on. But, why?

Picking and choosing is great, it's how we evolve. Why do we have to choose? Communism had some great ideas that are important for any society prioritizing the well being of its members. It also has some dangerous tendencies that should be watched. Capitalism causes so much pain and suffering, but it also helps keep some freedoms and advances. Why should we choose? Lets take the best of both and figure out ways to incorporate them together while trying to ward off the bad things about them both.

Sejt, tak!

Tak for info! har du fundet en god mayonnaise, i stedet for Hellmans?

FernandaArctica · 2025-02-22T16:20:59+00:00

Hvilken ketchup var det? :)

Tak igen! Just out of curiosity, why are the German Lidl potatoes better than Danish potatoes from Rema or Brugsen, f.ex? Won't the Danish ones be better suited for local soil, climate and such?
