Say what you want about Zuckerberg, but most people with enough intelligence don’t hate trans people
Eh... intelligence is helpful, but in the end does not inoculate one against BS opinions. Musk is (supposedly) intelligent and toxic as hell, Richard Dawkins is (definitely) intelligent and a fucking TERF. fuck, Jordan Peterson (for all his faults) is a demonstrative intelligent man... he's just also an asshole and wrong about a multitude of things.
Every coalition will involve the CDU/CSU (our conservatives) as the senior party. And their candidate for chancellor is already copying Trump talking points about closing the borders, getting rid of immigrants and cutting social services.
Even without the extremist right it's going to be an absolute shit show.
Looking ahead, most of the respondents expect current risks to persist, in particular the frequency of extreme weather events, and the unpredictability of how the Russian invasion of Ukraine will
evolve. Concerning the latter, risks are not only linked to the availability of imports, but also to ongoing price volatility both for
inputs and commodities and to potential logistical restrictions in place. Several respondents anticipate no decline in food inflation in the coming months, as input and production costs are expected to
stay up, thus keeping consumer prices high due to delayed price transmission between different stages of the food chain
So there are concerns about the invasion and it's driving food inflation.
christians in particular like to imagine that god blesses those who are "good" with wealth, and that therefore wealthy people must be "good" because otherwise they wouldn't be wealthy.
It's just Calvinism (if you are rich, that means god loves you), and Calvinism is baked into most protestant denominations.
Really Calvin and his beloved "Protestant work ethic" are behind the rise of capitalism. Look it up. Max Weber wrote about it in "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism"
I really hated that episode of Skip Intro's copaganda because it was just so well argued... it's a really good episode but man does it get my blood boiling!
Those immigrants are basically being worked as indentured slaves whose only way to remain in the US is to accept whatever bad deal the corpos throw at them. IF the immigrants were guaranteed the same wages with no dependency on their employers to stay in the US and look for fair work, he would have far less of a problem with it. On a level playing field immigration is okay, but if the corpos basically import slave labor it's not.
Right now H-1B visas are being used to play the foreign working class against the domestic working class, this is precisely what he argues against.
How is "women are also perpetuating and engaging in the patriarchy, this is a problem" blaming it on men? "The Patriarchy" is not blaming stuff on men, it's a descriptor of the gender-roles-system we live in and people of all genders can be perpetuators of its toxic aspects.
