my parents are straight-down-the-line liberal democrats and i raised this question a few weeks ago while talking about china (my dad worked in hong kong back in the day) and they both went "hell yeah!" so watch out for the liberals. they might do it.

well it seems you can radicalize them

There is no way the US politicians will try to put a leash on the capitalists, it's antithesis to the core value of the Anglo saxon west.

you know how the corporate raiders of the 80s and 90s justified coring out all american industrial capacity by recasting all the damage they were doing as the invisible hand of the market simply reallocating existing capital to where it would be most productive? well maybe, in a way, they were right

from the way that picture is framed, those people are just far enough that the eruption isn't going to immediately hit them, but the ashfall is going to gently caress everything up within the next 12 to 48 hours

an eruption is a slow-rolling disaster because the material spewed goes straight up, THEN comes back down

well, this doesn’t seem great

quote:

Homosexuality can be called a mental disorder, Chinese court rules; LGBT community disappointed

A Chinese court has upheld a ruling that a textbook description of homosexuality as “a psychological disorder” was not a factual error but merely an “academic view”.

The Chinese LGBT community, and the 24-year-old woman who filed the lawsuit, have expressed disappointment at the decision, handed down last week by the Suqian Intermediate People’s Court in the eastern province of Jiangsu.

Ou Jiayong, who also uses the name Xixi, said the court’s decision about what constituted a “factual error” was “random and baseless”.

yeaaah, I was going to comment on that being queer and all

it's a primary court decision that a judge disagrees that the content of certain education textbooks should be considered homophobic per the plaintiff, but the judge has ruled that the quality of the material was inadequate and not up to the required standard due to the misinterpretation of the psychological and clinical factors quoted

so it is even more nuanced than that: the point of matter was addressed (the books had bad and misleading content) but the case for the publisher being responsible for homophobia was dismissed for lack of evidence, which - I presume - would require more than a specific situation of editorial negligence to argue for. However, the judge is clearly a homophobe given his previous mentioned decisions and by refusing to consider the government's own references on the matter, so it is pretty much a case of a personalist idiot trying to force lovely jurisprudence just to clog the pipes because the gay

(it's almost like that clerk or something from somewhere in the USA refusing to certificate the marriage between two men iirc)

I get that it’s nowhere near as bad as it looked initially (due to lovely reporting), but the book called homosexuality mental illness in 2013 iirc, there should be some consequences for publishing that 12 years after the government said that was incorrect. they clearly hosed up and should be held accountable. not with a personal payout imo, but something
