  • Sure, but what about the 500,000 people facing genocide and famine conditions in Gaza while the world just sends ships right on by into Israeli ports? It's not great. I'm sure there's food and medicine that's really needed not getting to the people who do. However, foreign aid hasn't fixed any of the issues in these regions and it's wrong to assume that will change in the future.

    Furthermore, westerners will always pour out sympathies now that it's a problem for them. In the past decade we've seen the Saudis ruthlessly murder the yemeni people at the behest of the United States. I'm not saying yours are, but most of this is crocodile tears and to pretend otherwise is deliberately ignorant or dangerously naive.

  • Actually, pissing off the United States is a clear demonstration that it is working.

    Israel gets their guns from whom? Whom suffers the most from this situation? Sure it didn't end the bombing of Gaza because israel is a fascist State. Punching the wealthy in the purse might be the only thing they actually care about. Telling the ghouls that supporting genocide is going to cost you is actually good. Fuck you for saying it's not.

  • Intersectionality is the idea that various forms of privilege and circumstance interact with each other to make an individual. Certain influences are more impactful upon a particular person's circumstances, and thus influence privilege to a much greater extent. The non-linear nature that DinosaurThussy is talking about can better be shown with examples.

    If you're homeless and white it's clear that you're in a worse off situation than a billionaire who is black. Class status has a far greater influence on this situation. It would be fair to say that the black billionaire has more privilege due to his class status but not his ethnic identity. That being said, it's unlikely that the white man was denied a job due to his race in a way a homeless black person may be. Being poor and white and poor and black have many commonalities, but intersectional analysis allows us to understand the different ways and avenues that particular characteristics influences the ways that a person may end up in a particular circumstance.

    The idea continues on. A person who is a billionaire may be significantly shielded from a lot of racism, or face it in a less extreme way. For example, that proverbial black billionaire likely wouldn't have many run ins with racist cops in impoverished neighborhoods. However, he still might face the unifying characteristic of being called a slur by his peers in the way that a poor black person might. His privilege of wealth may not complete inoculate him facing racism at all, even if he faces it in a less extreme way.

    In essence, this situation is viewing individuals dialectic-ly. It seeks to understand how all of a person's identity and circumstances relate to the struggles and oppression certain groups or people may face in society.

  • Also with the space and cost that's saved from not having cars you could have completely covered bike lanes

  • Pu'er is my favorite. Strong aromatic earthy flavors are my jam. Love the stuff

  • You rn

    Chai tea in English refers to a generally similar blend of spiced tea. Stop pretending to be an idiot and not understanding that. You're not smarter than other people for knowing trivial information about the origin of an adopted word.

  • I believe so. I think there was a big thing about European settlers introducing beavers to Peru or northern Chile and causing ecological havoc

  • Squirrel is tasty and the bastards should be eaten more often

  • No rednecks in here bringing up eating squirrel? For shame.

    It's not exotic in the traditional sense, it's a pretty universal animal, but it's not commonly eaten so I'll share. It's pretty gamey and lean but the flavor is still pretty good. I think it's rather tasty pan fried and served with biscuits and gravy.

  • It's pretty hilarious that you're so smug and up your own ass you pretend to not understand that other political ideologies exist that may differ from your own. So full of yourself and your own self aggrandizement that you can't type a sentence without presenting it in such a way as though the other person is so stupid for not seeing things your way. Take your smarmy ass back to reddit. No one likes nor wants you around on their forums

  • But isn't the whole message that the windmills are an imagined problem not a real one like cars? Or am I missing a layer of this?
