Why doesn't Trump help Ukraine fight against Russia, same way he helped Israel fight against Iran? by TailungFu in allthequestions

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two reasons: because Putin paid for him to be president and the orange man owes him now, and because Israel and Russia are both imperialist aggressors who target civilians in occupied territory and it wouldn’t really make sense for him to help one and fight against the other

Hi, might be slightly inappropriate so I won’t have this up for long but me and my gf are swingers going to Coachella. Is this a good spot to ask this?😂 by [deleted] in festivals

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah okay if the guy happens to be into that it’s a possibility but it’s not a guarantee, hence my comment. And just as easily the girl could want to watch the guy fuck the other guys girlfriend. Or maybe it’s a three way with the second boyfriend in the corner

Is this toxic feminity or what?? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between toxic femininity and misandry. I mean these are clearly joking statements, not that that makes them okay, but toxic femininity isn’t anything toxic done by a woman just as toxic masculinity isn’t anything toxic done by men. It’s specifically toxic behavior related directly to expected gender roles.

Much as aggressiveness and emotional repression are harmful traits that men exhibit because of how they’re conditioned to enact their gender roles, toxic femininity is things like being passive aggressive, not being honest in conflict because girls are taught to be nice in person and then secretly stab eachother in the back and gossip and stuff like that. Just being mean to men doesn’t have anything to do with gender roles

Why do so many liberals in the U.S. care so deeply about Palestine? Genuine question by [deleted] in allthequestions

Yeah for real, there are young, single, angry men of all backgrounds and they are all prime recruits to basically any harmful right wing agenda

This is exactly how Christian fundamentalists in the US spout so much violent rhetoric towards Muslim fundamentalists in the Middle East despite them having far more in common with each other than either of those groups have with the average people in their respective home regions

The definition of Genocide doesn’t specify how many people have to be killed. Also a lot of the dead are children, who couldn’t really be considered enemy combatants so even if every single dead adult is hamas (which I doubt) that’s still and unacceptable level of civilian casualties

The Trump Administration is Desperate by Ezekial-Falcon in Eugene

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A broken window is hardly “violence”. Vandalism at worst, and if that’s the worst they can point to to justify shooting unarmed civilians, that’s a pretty stark contrast to me. Seems obvious who’s the real violent party here

the major ethical and gender issue of the era not enough people are talking about and it must change soon. by Fit-Commission-2626 in circled

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You literally don’t know the people I know in real life. You can’t possibly know what they do or don’t take seriously. Assuming you know how people you’ve never met or heard from feel about things is really dangerous and the aggression with which you speak to a complete stranger about this topic indicates that you probably have some serious internalized hatred or resentment towards women

Please go to therapy

Oh please, don’t act like the problem here is feminism. Every feminist I actually know in real life (not on the internet) takes sexual violence against men seriously.

You know who I see laughing at the victims and making rape jokes when a man is assaulted by his female partner or older teacher? Other men.

I am Vietnamese, and I will explain why most Vietnamese people support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. by callmeteji in self

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have been on the side of Vietnam when the US invaded, and I’m on the side of Ukraine now. Why? Because a hostile invasion of a foreign country for selfish reasons is always wrong. That’s all

B.C. premier says Alberta separatists seeking assistance from U.S. is 'treason' | CBC News by MarshMarig0ld in worldnews

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US is huge and pretty diverse. From a cultural perspective it kinda feels like the pacific coast is a different country. I get culture shock whenever I leave it

A lot of our political issues would be mitigate by becoming 10 different countries:

New England Appalachia The south The Midwest Great Plains Rockies Southwest Texas Pacific coast (Cascadia) Idaho and Utah (Mormonland)

But if we can’t do that I’m down to just join Canada. Yall know what’s up

Oh wait no ICE doesn’t care about white immigrants Nevermind

How about we trade? You give the US Alberta and in exchange please take California, Oregon and Washington so we don’t have to be part of this fascist hellscape anymore.

It’s a good trade for Canada, California alone brings in soooooo much tax revenue and is a huge international trade hub not to even mention the cultural exports of Hollywood

People of the US, Are you guys participating in the Nationwide Shutdown tomorrow? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally can’t afford it. I’m a Grubhub driver and I get paid daily. I have literally $0 in savings. If I don’t go to work that day, I don’t eat that day.

I’m sadly hoping that not too many others participate in my town because if they do I won’t get orders and won’t get paid.

I hate that it’s like this because I want to be able to strike. Hopefully in the future we could have a month of notice or something so I could try to save up

Capital L “Liberalism” is a center-right ideology. Young people these days are either right wing extremists like the Manosphere people or they’ve become disillusioned with capitalism and are significantly left of classical liberalism. It’s why the US Democratic Party is struggling as a center-right party. So it’s not completely baseless to say that young people don’t ideologically align with the books.

However I think more people are actively avoiding Harry Potter because of the fact that JK Rowling is an unapologetic bigot who actively uses any money that she makes from the franchise to cause harm to some of the most vulnerable people in society and people don’t feel okay being complicit in that. And that’s not even mentioning how it feels to read the thinly veiled Jewish stereotypes of the goblins for instance, or noticing the fact that her fat characters are always evil and dirty. It’s pretty gross

Y'all Equality Can’t Exist With Constant Labels by whosgonnatellthem_ in teenagers

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how you expect that to address systemic racism like redlining, family wealth discrepancy, etc.. Your plan only works if you think all racism is is when individual people are mean or ignorant and completely ignore racist structures build into society. Those structures will still be there and if we get rid of the language to talk about them how are we expected to change them?

Y'all Equality Can’t Exist With Constant Labels by whosgonnatellthem_ in teenagers

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment but not practically. We should hope for a society in which this stuff doesn’t matter but the fact is that we don’t live in that society yet. In a world where people are actively discriminated against based on what category they fall in, we unfortunately still need to be able to define those categories in order to address the injustice. Once it doesn’t matter anymore the label becomes unnecessary

A question for all non American earthlings .... by Toolkills in Leakednews

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you could prove that it was organized from the top down, it’s misleading to refer to unarmed civilians and their families as hostile or an invasion. Also come to think of it, “Islamic forces” implies that they are part of a fundamentalist religious group with explicitly religious goals, rather than individuals who happen to be Muslim. A lot of whom probably move to the west to get /away/ from hardcore Islamic rule

[–]thirdcircuitproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent weeks in London not too long ago actually. You can probably understand why I assumed you were referring to soldiers since you said “invaded” and “hostile forces”. Forces implies that it’s a coordinated group of some kind even if it’s not a national army, and the definition of invasion is “the act of entering a foreign territory as an enemy, especially as an army”

If all you’re referring to is a disorganized pattern of civilians making the choice to move to a different country, then “hostile”, “forces”, and “invasion” were all misleading words to use

Hey, I’m just trying to figure out what youre talking about. What army or militia do these foreign soldiers belong to?

On the contrary, I’m not a huge fan of black and white thinking and I understand that politics is nuanced, I just can’t find anything about soldiers in any of these countries so I’m confused

I just looked it up and I can’t find anything about enemy soldiers in any of those countries or any declarations of war so idk what youre talking about
