  • It came rather easily if not even a bit eagerly to you for an argument against it.

    I don't even know what that means.

    I was being aggressive by illustrating different situations to show that it's unacceptable to anyone to make sexist jokes. But when it's a sexist joke against men you don't seem to care.

    But what the hell am I derailing? The article said that suicides and overdoses are on the rise which cause early deaths disproportionately for men. Then the commenter said some dumb shit about health choices from Joe Rogan. There is no conversation here, OP just saw a chance to shit on meatheads but chose the wrong time and place.

    And most importantly:

    and despite how youre trying to sell it

    *You're

    So It misses the point your tying to argue it makes on so many levels.

    *You're

  • I just saw someone being unfair towards a group of people and no one calling them out. If someone were to also make a joke at any minority group/protected class without anyone calling them out I'd do the same thing.

    It's just kinda hard to find people being misogynistic, racist, homophobic or whatever and no one calling them out at least here on lemmy. Which is good.

  • Makes sense I guess but it still feels unfair. Like people can make jokes about men who are suicidal and overdosing but you can't make jokes about women's stereotypes?

    To me it should be one or the other

    1- You can make whatever jokes about any protected class or minority

    2- You can't ever make jokes at the expense of a protected class regardless of how privileged they are

  • Does this mean that I can also make jokes about the massive gaps in other situations against women?

    There are way more male than female politicians: Maybe if you stop bickering about emotional bullshit you'd be liked and voted for.

    There are way more men than women in the tech sector: I mean hey women know how to make a good dish and men know how to code a good porn site.

    There are more men holding executive positions in public companies: Listen, that's on you if your work goes to shit for a week every month.

    I could go on but you get the idea. Is that OK?

  • Sure I'll gladly admit that to have a government agency that tampers with elections and persecutes people for having political opinions is fucked up. The practices of the NIS are akin to that of an authoritarian government, which stand against the liberal values I like. That being said, it doesn't really hold a candle to what North Korea does with their "elections."

    I'll also admit that I am acting like a douchebag because I think it's fun. But you can't come here to morally grandstand while screeching at me to read. You say all that shit when you can't really give me any specific piece of information to bolster your arguments. You say that NK concedes stuff or whatever but you didn't give me anything. And from the little that I've read just now, it looks like NK is worse than I thought. I didn't even know anything about how they effectively force people to vote. I also thought that the food shortages might be overblown but apparently not. The best your lot could give me the inconsequential misinfo about NK and their hairstyles is not true or that SK also has human rights and democracy violations. It still doesn't justify supporting the tyrannical government of NK.

  • the opinion of the people regarding political entities is inconsequential and easily influenced Is this what you say every night to feel better about how your tankie ideology is lamented by any reasonable person in a democratic

    Now I can't say I am an expert in Korean history but it seems that NK wants the US out of SK not because they're afraid of US attacks but because they want to take over SK. But you know Kim is pretty smart keeping his people uninformed about the world outside his country since it's probably gonna be bad for him. If people really knew that he was not willing to give up his nuclear bullshit and keeping his people perpetually in the verge of famine while their southern counterparts are economically thriving, he probably would lose a lot of his popularity. He's not making the same mistake as East Berlin that's for sure.

    Also, I wouldn't say that Trump got concessions from NK. I was saying that the opinion of the SK people was swayed because they saw hope since the summit was between Moon and Kim would be fruitful. The poll was after the May/2018 inter korean summit not the disastrous september/2018 singapore summit. Honestly, I wasn't clear enough there I'll give you that (not being sarcastic).

  • The point is that I was criticizing Kim because he was being authoritarian and hostile towards the west. You said that the South Koreans love him though. But they liked him after he was trying to find peace and concede with the westerners. This shows that he was changing his ways. I'm assuming that you don't want that though.

    I thought I should give you the info and let you realize what's going on, but honestly that's on me. I should have realized you're a smooth-brain as soon as you parroted a headline without knowing what the fuck is going on.

  • That's crazy but true. Funny thing is that a month before the poll the guy had a 10% approval rating. It's only after the South Korean president was discussing demilitarization with Kim in the 2018 summit did people come to trust him.

    hmmm.... It's almost as if you would show some good faith that you are willing to concede and not be a nuclear crazy warmonger, people would look positively at you. Crazy isn't it?

  • Sure acheivements don't have inherent value, but the skins do. The idea of a captured flag or whatever is how good you are at the game and the fact that you had fun doing it. Skins are the same as clothes. You don't have to get the best, but people pay obscene amounts of money to get some bullshit they think looks good and shows off status. It's the same here. But you don't see people advocating for the shutting down of LV or Gucci or whatever.

    Not even the game itself has inherent value. Why would I pay $60 for a Mario game that I don't like and it lasts like 50 hours when I can play the $20 Binding of Isaac (masterpiece) that could easily last me hundreds of hours. Other people would say the opposite.
