carpet bagging phony

to discuss how these things happen in other parts of the world with similar roots of anglocentric patriarchy. i'm not trying to drive the conversation, just provide "here's what happens in another part of the world, maybe it will help analyze your systems"

i don't know how things are in Australia, but i do know how misogyny is so common in American schools. you can't think of it as being individual failures on behalf of the teachers. you have to think of this as entire system of patriarchy that selects for individuals who are less likely to resist it.

firstly are the weed out systems:

1. a school teacher needs 4-6 years worth of higher education to be eligible to teach meaning a school teacher is more likely to come from a wealthier, more conservative background
2. a school teacher is paid poverty wages, making them more reliant on spousal support, creating a soft reinforcement of traditional gender roles
3. teachers are hired by administrators who are usually men, men who can have unaudited privilege in the system of patriarchy, creating bias in what they consider "professional" for a teacher towards someone who will fit into this overall system

then there's the reinforcement systems

1. you are genuinely correct that most teachers are more progressive when it comes to social issues, but they are also making poverty wages meaning they're more reliant on the job. they're more desperate and therefore less likely to upset the apple cart
2. teachers are not the only people who interact with kids. administrators are usually who operate the punishment system in a school. this punishment system creates an interplay between the nurturing mother stock character and the disciplinary father stock character. the disciplinary father stock character in his role will often hand children mysogynistic views very directly.

we're under galactic quarantine until we get over this whole fascism thing we've been doing the last 20k years

just your reminder that christofascism has very little to do with christianity

is this how contacts get sucked in according to our former national security director?

there were other options that didn't obviously support a nazi. by the time they started shipping it was clear who this person was. you had other options from ford, rivian, and gm. you chose not to take them for some reason

also 40 other states as well through indirect processes

all of that is because gender is socially derived. we don't need to attach any aspect of our personality to our gender, or any of our gender to our personality. given this, we can understand all gender to be either contrived or performative. if gender is performative, we can contrive associations that are positive and hopefully raise a new generation of decently well adjusted men who get us closer to living in a post gender-coded society

fuckin'. WHAT!?

like i absolutely believe you, but this sounds completely insane

that's the craziest part to me! fuckin' tankies acting like a hyperfascist regime is their ally is bonkers

it's so much not a stretch that it simply just is. it's the kinda stretch you get sleeping in a perfectly neutral resting position for 8 hours

my objection to snaps came before i knew they were proprietary. they actually factually run worse

thank you alduous huxley for the warning. maybe with the next rise of fascism we'll be better equipped to listen to the story tellers warning us about the dangers we're in

bandcamp gets the crown for "most least worst." i've even met a few artists who say they prefer fans to stream on bandcamp to spotify or qobuz because they make enough more money per purchase than per stream, and enough streams convert to purchases, that they get paid more the more people are listening on bandcamp

Christ. most of them.

George Washington got to be in charge of a country that enshrined chattel slavery in its constitution for 20 years. Thomas Jefferson provided military aid to France's efforts to quash a slave revolt in Haiti. Andrew Jackson personally orchestrated a genocide against the Cherokee, Creek, and Choctaw (all of whom were aligned with american interests). Zachary Taylor put a bounty on bison, in an effort to starve the native Americans of the great plains. Abraham Lincoln allowed his western military expeditions to do basically whatever to the native Americans. Andrew Johnson started the process of letting confederate leadership be who directed reconstruction rather than being punished for it.

And here we reach Ulysses S Grant. one of America's favorite punching bag presidents because he got scammed rather frequently, but when you dig into why he was prone to getting scammed, it's because he thought it was America's duty to use its economic power to help the lowest people in society. it's hard to be mad at a guy who was trying so hard to help people that sometimes he let someone con him into thinking they deserved help.

i can keep going on how a ton of our historical presidents have sucked. i'm still personally willing to say the top 3 are Andrew Jackson, Ronald Reagan, and Donald trump

Adam Smith: you gotta bust up monopolies because competition drive's innovation

the rich: you heard the man! all the wealth has to be consolidated with us! greed is good!

they're fediverse mascots. i'm not sure about the middle two, but the far left one represents Sharkey (a transfriendly misskey fork) and the far right one represents Pleroma (a fediverse platform written by far right chuds that's been forked into akkoma about it)

i hope someone working on KDE sees this and says "well this is unacceptable. we have to figure out why this is causing so much frame lag" and the ability to enhugen your cursor remains forever.
