I don't buy the rural security argument in general, nostly because there's a lot of people in cities who also, to put it mildly, cannot count on prompt and effective protection from police. but at the very least people who may run into bears, wolves, etc., should be able to have rifles.

Bored As gently caress posted:Sure, compare apples to grapefruits if you want. But they're different cultures who are way less violent than we are because they have 1) largely homogeneous populations, 2) univeral healthcare, 3) way better access to mental healthcare, 4) maternity leave, 5) way less economic inequality, 6) more hope for a career or upward mobility, or hope for a decent life, 7) almost all of them offer free college or university, and 8) on average, all of them have better education systems than we do (K-12). many of us are working on programs to address these points, unfortunately many in power are stuck on the first

i never know when establishing someone else's ancestry is supposed to come up in conversation. one time i was talking to a nice lady visiting the city where i lived, and something we were talking about prompted her to say she had noticed i hadn't ever asked her where she was from, and i said one of the first things she had told me was that she was from Toronto, and she said yeah but obviously her family wasn't from there, and i said well, i was guessing that your last name was Vietnamese, but my last name is Polish, and that has gently caress-all to do with where I'm from, and anyway that was the first time i slept with someone the same day i met them, subscribe to my patreon for my complete BLT® system of romantic success via Being Less Terrible

Don't hang out with weirdos. oh, right, sorry wait, maybe I was just describing it strangely: you really have never seen or heard of someone all of a sudden, mid-conversation, deciding that they need to know the ethnicity of someone they're talking to? often with the questions:
if so, that's cool, but it's very common. sadly we are the weird ones for thinking it's weird.

psydude posted:the overwhelming majority are obviously victims deserving of compassion and help, but it's really hard to excuse those who rise to the ranks of leadership in those organizations and then orchestrate crimes against humanity. as i understand it restorative justice was invented for situations like this. put the victims at the center and work towards what can be done, including by perpetrators, to help them.

Ghislaine also introduced Epstein to Trump! and the Clintons Trump bought a boat from Ghislaine's father that he named after her, and before you say it sounds weird that a rich old pervert would name a pleasure yacht after his daughter, yeah, many people have though there was something going on there

Was it not in this thread that I learned about special programs where people convicted of crimes go to work in assorted sweatshops for poo poo wages with horrific injury rates and if they quit, fire, or are unable to work due said injuries they get sent to jail, so they're desperate to do whatever their hosed-up poo poo supervisors say and hide the conditions of the job site? It's all a blur.

there was a matrix mmo that continued the plot from the movies for a while, as directed by the wachowskis. iirc the machines tell the humans that neo died but refuse to give back his body and morpheus (leading one in-game faction) keeps demanding to know what they're hiding. i assume the game shut down before anything was really developed or resolved, but i guess i shouldn't say more, lest it get used in a new film.

bird cooch posted:Noooooooooooo. The level of vitriol or thinnly cloaked (if at all) racism, classisem, nationalism and other horrible -isems isnt even comparible. i summarize it as a difference between punching up and punching down. i agree that both sides are using violent rhetoric for a kind of emotional group therapy, but the targets of one side are the people already facing the full violence and oppression of society, while the other side (e: which i consider myself on) bays for the blood of people who famously are at no risk of suffering consequences for anything. for now, it's as much a joke and as little a serious threat to call for some billionaire be guillotined as it is to loudly hope they get hit by a falling meteorite. e: not every leftist is only punching up, of course, you get plenty of people in this thread and every other one making GBS threads on poor and rural trump voters Doc Hawkins fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Aug 21, 2019 |

Defenestrategy posted:To be clear. They get poo poo on because they're voting red in TYOOL 2019 and directly electing officials who are propping up the above billionaire class, not because they're poor/rural. i get it, but these people didn't spring up from the ground to torment us, they've been betrayed by liberals and abusively miseducated by our hosed up culture. as an american i feel responsible for other americans, including ones that disgust me. let me put it this way: the only purpose talking poo poo about them serves is making ourselves feel better by getting anger out. i don't criticize people for doing that, and i have done it myself, but we all grew up in a classist society and we all have stored away in our minds the classist insults we can use to spice up what we say about the people we hate for loving up our country, and i've seen them used plenty on SA. the same is true for race and gender and i bet some other poo poo i forgot. it's a sickness we all have.

the long term solution to poaching is to eliminate poverty in the effected countries, but in the meantime i guess put sanctions on countries that buy the products? I recently learned that later drafts of the TPP had provisions about human trafficking removed because Malaysia has over a hundred thousand slaves and the straights of Malacca are right there, gotta break a few eggs to make sure capitalism can keep saving the world. As a result my view of sanctions, treaties, etc has further dimmed.
