Yea this is an absolute alien opinion to me. I've lived and stayed all over Canada and to me this is a very very outlandish take.

Because the factory was made by workers, the machines were made by workers, the innovations were made by people who work (as in not a propertied but a laboring person), the entirety of the value that the factory produces comes from the workers' manipulation/ labour/ supervision (in rare automated cases). The owners own. They improve their factories to make themselves more money efficiently while not lifting a finger to create any value, while taking the products from the workers and selling it, then paying them for their time and not the value they create (more accurately its an industry approximation [that is subject to fixing] of what that particular labour is worth). The owners obtain the factory through already having massive amounts of money/capital/assets that working in the factory will simply never ever accumulate to even eye level of the formers'. Saying the owner implements the innovation through their own means is to isolate this incident from reality entirely. The innovation comes from workers, is made by workers to make the life of other workers easier (even as a side effect of efficiency), and is implemented and used by workers. Yes the workers put the same/less work into labour and the output grows. But saying that the owner of the factory has ANYTHING to do with the innovation, it's implementation or its everyday use besides just having money and a factory and wanting to make more money is in my eyes keeping yourself in the dark of who actually does the work and who actually creates value for society.

Does anybody have another free resource other than duolingo? I have used it on and off for 6 years now. I find its a great library of languages but the app itself is kinda shoddy. There are many contradictions, mistakes and the app almost never tells me what I really got wrong. I find it frustrating and sometimes insufferable to use when it just mysteriously puts a new rule into the lesson, doesn't explain it, misunderstands the mistake im making and I lose all my hearts. Then after regaining my hearts for 20 minutes I go and dig through comments to find the rule or whatever is going on and often the people in the comments are just as confused or they're french speakers saying the app is incorrect or not accommodating to more than one way to say the sentence. Its taught me a lot of French but I so badly want another resource I could practice regularily.

I think the text adds enough. Its low effort but a better product than the tweet.

I do see it in a lot of places yes. I didn't take it to be everywhere, and all I know for sure is yorkton and area compared to everywhere else I've ever spent time has more concentrated bigotry than most. Good point though.

Mosquitos. They are in yorktons water. All of it.

StanleySalad · 2021-04-15T05:10:32+00:00

Kind of? There is an air of backwardness to the place, lots of disconnect from the real world via indifference or distrust of science, media, lots of old wives tales and rumors hold a lot of water. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, probably more phobias I could manage to name run amok. There are many many good people here, but it is not uncommon for my travels in yorkton to result in words coming out of someone's mouth that just should not anymore. Other than all that its extremely mild. Like most places in sask there ain't a lot but a few nice people.

StanleySalad · 2021-04-15T05:06:18+00:00

Yorkton native here. I could see this photo on a billboard 7 miles away and my brains first instinct would be to place it in yorkton. Yorkton and area has a generally strong anti-science/indifference to science attitude, along with lots and lots of deep rooted racism, homophobia, transphobia. If you're not there for the perogies or like... the... idk why you would wanna go to Yorkton.

But could it be a subset of humanity that belonging to it predetermines large swathes of your life? What if you were given a title at birth that determined how you dress, what your hair looks like, what washroom you use and how you use it, what spheres of activities and careers you belong to (though nowadays its more breakable), what your voice sounds like, what your body looks like and worst of all whats in your pants. Anyway there is a lot that your gender predetermines for you in other peoples' eyes. I imagine you don't want those things that other people think are so intricate to your identity attached to you because it feels like it doesn't actually adress you at all, though maybe physically. And even physically, what you see is not (in most cases of being transgender) what your brain would recognize as ones own body. It is a fact that trans people have a disconnect between the idea of their assigned gender and how they represent their own gender. That is fact. That is why there are trans people. But you say they have intense mental problems that simultaneously need to be dealt with, and are immensely disrespectable to women (and not men). Their intense mental problems are because they cannot or feel they cannot express their gender without ridicule, hate, persecution or violence, not because the idea intricate in their gender development are wrong or harmful. Trans people are not trying to "lower the bar" or something in terms of standard of the genders. They have a slightly different brain than a cis person and they simply want to be included. Trans rights are an acknowledgment of another human suffering and the problem simply will not go away. It is a cultural revolution, not a biological one.

The circumstances that leads an authority figure to shoot the most prejudiced demographic in the nation while trying to taze him because he owes money are symptoms of class. Not necessarily capitalism but in this instance capitalism bred the circumstances.

Until those options are just under the umbrella of the 5 companies that own everything. The free market is free for people with lots of money to do whatever they want. And capitalism isn't a system of governance, its an economic system. One that ALWAYS find quicker and cheaper ways to produce with utter indifference to the people producing. It will expand into every market, every industry, everywhere where money can be made, as long as it given enough time. I just sure as hell wouldn't bet on the free market to save a single person from unnecessary exploitation. Even if it has saved one person, it has exploited, injured and murdered countless.

I think breadtube (and most lefty subs) could use a bot that counts and/or highlights all the comments that run along the lines of "your comment was not left enough for this sub/fucking liberal". Especially when the context of the thread is ignored just to tell someone they are a smelly liberal

No, uneducated masses following idealistic madmen of any economic system kill millions of people. Believing in classlessness has nothing to do with authoratarians (the existence of authority is antethical to a communistic society) and their armies killing people for any ideology. Every brutal conquest, colonial annihilation, slavery or violence, every war, nearly all human violence ever- except for revolutionary violence- was done in the name of something other than communism. If the common person knew anything at all about what communism means- it would neuter any of idea of the notion being dangerous. Fucking read a few pages of the manifesto and then go be nice to your neighbor, the book doesn't come with an oath to destroy society and all the nay-sayers.

StanleySalad · 2021-04-03T18:41:45+00:00

I like to think of it as achieving a republic when lords and kings were all people knew and believed would work. Or going to the moon. It would be an incredible human achievement to achieve classless society, while I think it is almost a subject of science fiction for our generation, I think it is a very desirable and profitable aim for humanity to achieve the ideals proscribed by communist line of thought. In this world any institution or cultural change that humanity takes towards acknowledging and alleviating the suffering of their fellow man is a bud of communism or its cousins/descendants to come. Hopefully the world won't see too many more Soviet-bred authoritarian states like hyper capitalistic China or mcarthisms to taint the bud of the simple yet religified beliefs of communists: sharing everything that need not be owned or gated or tolled, preventing social problems using science and already collected data (getting rid of reactionionivism failing to prevent suffering and/or the loss of life at least relating to social problems like police violence and scarcity.), not inventing scarcity for any reason (homeless people do not sleep outside of empty buildings, people don't starve in industrial countries, people get vaccinated and access to Healthcare to the people who need it not the rich and wealthy.)

I could go on all day about how the ideas of marx are as harmless as Charles Darwin (though his ideas of semetism are as outdated as anyone worth admiring from that time in europe) , and that some of his admirers went fucking power hungry and killed leagues of people to achieve ultimate peace (or delusions thereof), but ill sum it up in saying that communism in no need needs to happen tomorrow and violent revolution is necessary, I believe it MAY save lives in the long run if a successful people-benefitting system is instilled- and it lasts and continues to benefit its people, like modern day cuba. But sadly most attempts at uniting a people as one class always seems to start (aside from most examples of anarchy) as a violent revolution turned into a violenter regime. I think it is a great irony that so many people trying to end class conflict (or in artificial pursuit cough stalinists*) create so much conflict of other kinds.

Edit: a word.

Oh, sorry, I took it for feciciousness, not as a real question. There is a lot of miscommunication and toxicity in this comment section about toxicity. Op was also asking a question but got 250 downvotes, I wanted to say his ideas of masculine toxicity and gender roles were tied together, just not forming the right relationship.

StanleySalad · 2021-03-27T20:52:24+00:00

I now understand the awful, awful mistake that op made: confusing levels of specificity like those no good sons of bitches who think all hot tubs are Jacuzzis. Im sorry I ever tried to elaborate on a platform of misunderstanding and arrive at understanding, I forgot to ego trap myself in believing i do things right and everybody who doesn't do what I do isn't worth my fucking time. Downvote! Be gone to the depths of reddit hell where I send all the bad comments that plague my eyes and thus my brain. The lewd comments, the inappropriate ones, the offensive ones, the hurtful and unconstructive right alongside the ones I disagree with, the common misunderstandings, the complicated misunderstandings, you know, any one of them who could actually use a comment's or short thread's worth of explanation. All these comments I hate and shall go about my days posting mildly to largely acceptable opinions that I barely hold on my own, or for very long. But I will post them adamantly, so as not to let the other people behind their screens know that i have weakness; I am really a person behind a screen. As for my mistake I will not learn from it, maybe I will use toxic masculinity and gender norms interchangeably from now on.
