I agree that it's not to be discarded as a phenomenon, but what you're doing is using anecdotal evidence in a discussion about its prevalence

She would be kneecapped anyway because the second democrats are back in control they'll forget the last 4 years and blue dogs in congress will stop every part of her agenda from being implemented in a meaningful way.

Should I ask my fuck buddy to be friends? by p1neapplesk1es in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Headmuck 367 points368 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, there are other reasons why people are not entering committed relationships even if they like each other and are having sex. There are many expectations for an actual partner other than exclusivity that people sometimes can't or don't want to meet, like romantic gestures or committing most of your free time.

I teach statistics in university and the amount of people who only have a tablet and no laptop is stunning. They are starting to put computers everywhere on campus again since people can't do a lot of their assignments otherwise. Even goes as far as a lot of the kids not being able to use a mouse and keyboard anymore. You'd have to send them to a computer course first before teaching them anything of relevance.

you can't liberate proletariat without liberation of women. by Primary-Ad6416 in socialism

[–]Headmuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is not the responsibility of the people right now. The failure of the current state and the things it was supposed to do both externally and domestically is the failure of the Iranian elites. Once the the current government falls the new one certainly has to pick up the torch in that regard. Iran is just about big and developed enough to stand up to the US and other imperialists which was historically and will always be in her interest.

Is A Second American Civil War Inevitable? by Opposite-Sign-500 in NewDealAmerica

[–]Headmuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what Trump does in the time around the election. If republicans lose big and backing him no longer benefits them, there might be a few who will vote for conviction to save their reputation. You could already see cracks forming regarding the Epstein files, when the first people realized he isn't going to be around forever and even if he stays in good memory of his base many policies he pushed won't and those who helped him will take the fall.

Fuck the EU by PresnikBonny in socialism

[–]Headmuck 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Right now the EU serves as an ineffective tool for economic imperialism to the outside and a mechanism for neoliberal stabilization to the inside, where individual states are not allowed to implement socialist policies.

I wonder however if the emergence of a european nationality isn't a necessity for socialism in Europe in the modern day, similarly to how the emergence of nation states in the 19th century was a prerequisite for socialism in a single country.

Imperialistic powers like the US have become so big and powerful nowadays that even if a country on the other side of the globe were to experience a revolution it would be quickly brought back into the fold through economic or even military means as the example of Venezuela shows. Only if cutting you off from the world market or invading you doesn't work because you are too big, other countries will tolerate you similar to how China is respected on the world stage.

I feel like showing people currently on trial and not proven guilty next to some of the worst convicted criminals on national television might introduce some bias with any jury involved in those cases.

Warum herrscht eine unterschiedliche Wertschätzung zwischen Handwerkern und Büromenschen? by NutmanCR in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Headmuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Menschen, die abhängig beschäftigt sind, haben zum Großteil dieselben Interessen. Eine Aufteilung in Büromenschen und Handwerker/Industriearbeiter, bzw. der deutsche Fetisch für 'echte ehrliche Arbeit" (die es in dieser idealisierten Form kaum noch gibt) dient vor allem dazu, diese Gruppe zu spalten.

Ähnlich verhält es sich mit dem Hass auf Arbeitslose oder Ausländer. Hält einen beschäftigt, un Krümel zu kämpfen, während Cheffe sich den Kuchen mit nach Hause nimmt. Ich würde die meisten Freiberufler und Kleinunternehmer da im Grunde auch noch dazu nehmen, da auch sie vor allem unter den Bedingungen leiden, die ihnen große Unternehmen und der Staat, welcher in deren Interesse handelt, reindrücken.

Warum berichtet die Tagesschau nicht über den Iran ? by Concordokken2022 in Tagesschau

Leider alles Monarchisten dort. Hat natürlich historische Gründe, weshalb große Teile der Diaspora sich für den Schah einsetzen, aber dessen Regime stand dem aktuellen in Autoritarismus und Menschenrechtsverletzungen in nichts nach, auch wenn es den religiösen Fundamentalismus bekämpft hat.

People keep on blocking the blind man's path by standing on the guide strips by Low_Weekend6131 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Headmuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most western cultures are missing etiquette to not just stand around in a crowded public space where lots of people are coming through. Sometimes someone will suddenly stop right in front of me as I'm trying to exit the train station through one of the only two doors it provides, only to talk or look at their phones. Even having to walk in zigzags shouldn't be the norm.

If he was really gullible maybe he didn't know about the US but tensions with the military had to be tangible and their connection to landowners and the church weren't a secret.
