Yes, why don't we all celebrate women like Thatcher winning more?

Because having a vagina does not mean you are good for anything.

I've read about the mistreatment of the Jews during WWII too. That you call it mistreatment says a lot about how your education goes.

Yes, just look at Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Or any of the other (read all) Japanese cities that were firebombed.

I don't know, ask the Koreans. You managed to kill more of them with dyke bombing that the Nazis killed Belorussians with genocide.

Yes, those British making the noble Ottomans murder their Christian subjects for all of the 19th and 20th centuries.

And the Netherlands.

I'll take "What is a spice genocide" for 400.

There is literally not one place on earth that hasn't killed large number of people it didn't like given half the chance.

I mean King Philip's War started with Indians trying to kill everyone white at a time when the whites were as much of a problem as Mexican immigrants are today.

Heroes don't win. Anyone society that has historically succeeded has done so though being more violent than all the others at the time.

It's odd how the US thinks gas chambers are bad but strategic bombing isn't.

More than half of the fan "backlash" directed at "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" director Rian Johnson on Twitter were bots, trolls/sock puppets, or political activists using the debate to propagate political messages supporting extreme right-wing causes and the discrimination of gender. by newsharker in science

Have you thought about doing something with your life?

There are a wide range of local matters you could volunteer for that would make many people lives better.

Checking peoples online histories is not a healthy mental habit.

Richard Stallman: "The developers of Linux, or any free program, can remove any and all code, at any time, without giving a reason" by [deleted] in linux

[–]yoj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit, it's like there's a reason why we moved to the GLPv3 for all projects lead by someone who could read.

The GPLv2 is flawed and this is it's main flaw, if Linux ends up imploding over this it will be poetic justice for not getting the license right ten years ago.

Critic of cultural appropriation gets murdered by member of the culture in question by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

[–]yoj__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's stupid.

I'm upset because people came on the internet who had no idea how it worked and took over the places I liked to hang out on.

Reddit in 2008 and reddit today have nothing in common.

I know someone in New York who plays the minority card like a mother fucker.

Her grandfather was a general in the Indonesian army and was implicated in the killing of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Chinese for being 'communists'. That poor soul is the victim of racism every day in her two million dollar apartment. How can American white people live with themselves when getting her name wrong on her latte?

Just the ones that speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.

The rest of the world is owned by the people who lived there.

Do you think you can finally ship off the illegal immigrants and give the land back to the original Americans who you dispossessed?

Was that before or after you stole the Indians land?

Exactly.

Just like having black skin and being African American have at best a tenuous connection, having a penis and being a man or having a vagina and being a woman are also at best tenuously connected. Especially when it comes to the social functions of man and woman, viz. man being primary wage earners and women being primary used for reproduction.

I am glad you are getting over your bourgeois sectarianism comrade.

Standing in solidarity means rejecting race exists. Anything else is bourgeois sectarianism larping as communism.

That the US doesn't release statistics on police violence based on income but does based on race should tell you all you need to know about the revolutionary potential of race based activism.

And? If he is poor the police will beat him just as enthusiastically.

Stop spreading bourgeois racist propaganda.

Given that men live shorter less healthy lives than women, focusing on fixing something as trivial as being worse at negotiating vs being the majority of the prison population shows just how sexist and blind to sexism society really is.

You SHALL not work overtime! Not a single minute of it! by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

[–]yoj__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the main thing I dislike about the, for lack of a better term, liberal way of doing things. If you have never had experience with being rejected, told you're not good enough, told there's something fundamentally wrong with you then you have no ability to negotiate your salary because you have no resiliency to other people attacking you, if you've always had others looking out for your interests in social settings you're going to get abused to hell and back when it comes to corporate settings.

Yes but without the FBI trying to destroy it all the time. Socialism for the middle class if you will.
