@BenjaminHouy@IKEA Because we live in... Germany? And bought the couch at Ikea DE. And the customer service reps and delivery personnel were all German. Take your pick
@BenjaminHouy Bought a couch from @IKEA last year and 3 times they scheduled an 8-hour delivery slot and all 3 times they just never showed up. No notifications either. And the middle-aged German customer helpline rep literally just said "Well, there are no guarantees in life" 🤦♂️
Do not underestimate the social effect of naming things to pathologize general male living conditions. This is how they create issues out of imagined oppression and build heavily funded movements and laws for social control.
Man has discomfort sitting with legs together for obvious groin reasons - manspreading.
Man has a natural (and quite honestly innocently helpful) enthusiasm in explaining things he really likes to a person he likes or would love to impress - mansplaining.
Man has a different perspective on life that sounds or feels even mildly inconvenient for women - misogyny.
Man expects care and basic decency (reciprocal) from girlfriend/wife - mankeeping.
Man gets served food in his own house - unpaid domestic labour.
Naming is a very subtle preamble to the subjugation of modern man. It starts with creating a narrative that everyone can say, "aaahh, I've also faced this." And it's always generalised things like, "every woman understands the pressure that comes with caring for a partner they love"
Bloody genius, who doesn't??
Then they either legislate, or enforce socially, any traits associated with said named problem.
You walk into an office for an interview and sit in a groin-breathability posture, they decide instantly you're going to be a problem.
You're asked a question about a niche interest on a date and explain with the enthusiasm of a 4 year old, your eyes lighting up. She texts the group chat that you're a mansplainer.
And any of these named issues come heavily coded as "abuse-adjacent". Anything they can name about your life, they can draw a direct link to you as a potential societal threat, and try to take it from you, legally or sub-legally.
Even when you finally give up on a world that won't stop spitting in your face and decide to focus on your niche hobbies and interests, totally unplugged from the drama, they will still label you "an incel", a potential "threat to the society" (women's feelings) that needs government intervention.
This pressure cooker you're putting military aged men into will not end well. For anyone.
I was in Extinction Rebellion for several years. I produced over 60 videos for them and helped with several protests.
I can tell you directly: It was never about the climate. It was about controlling you.
Specifically, it was about mobilising 3.5% of the population into permanent revolutionary protest in order to trigger a Communist revolution. (Per Trotsky, Sharp, Hallam, Mao)
This was told to me directly by some of the leaders of the organisation. I tried to organise some programs to help businesses lower their carbon footprints without lowering profit margins or impacting the GDP, and I was told in no uncertain terms that *solutions* were counter to the goals of the movement and that I should stop.
It was then that I started to realise their true motives, and understand that perhaps I was being taken for a ride.
I learned that Communist countries have had some of the WORST environmental records in existence. What XR was proposing - degrowth, agitation, "decolonisation", post-capitalism and every other agitprop buzzword - would effectively drop civilisation back to a pre-renewable era and force developing nations into a protracted industrial age, leading to ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more carbon emissions than the incremental improvements found by market innovations.
Population density is a critical function of renewable energy infrastructure. You don't have a factory. You have a market ecosystem. That's how technology works. It blew my mind that they didn't understand this.
After years of pushing against fossil fuels, they were suddenly vehemently opposed to Elon Musk and his EVs. It was mind boggling to witness.
I realised that Musk had singlehandedly done more to reduce emissions than the entire climate activist movement combined. And it's not close. Mentioning this, I was met with bewilderment and anger.
It was very hard to come away from that experience with much sympathy for the activist left movement. At their best they were devoid of ideas and completely incapable of making meaningful technological or engineering innovations. At their worst, they were actively working against their own stated goals in order to maximise agitation and mobilise discontent toward a destructive revolutionary movement that would ultimately lead to measurably worse outcomes.
Applying Occam's Razor, it became apparent to me that the goal is Communist revolution, and all these random causes - climate, gender relativism, immigration, BLM, defunding police, Islamisation etc etc etc weren't about triumphing over injustices, but about agitating blocs of useful idiots into a perpetual state of protest in order to seize power and control in the name of Marxist Revolution.
I thought they were creators and visionaries. I was wrong.
True change comes from the builders.
Yes there are problems on this earth, but they'll only be solved by you tackling those problems, building useful things and helping to push the species forward.
If you're smart enough to contribute, you belong amongst the builders.
@ama_a93 Used to an @Etsy power shopper but moved away from due to stories like these. Builders deserve better. That company is leading the charge for #enshitification in e-commerce 👎
GERMANY: EU regulators think it is too dangerous to simply break a bottle across the bow of a new ship, instead they insist on the use of this contraption. This is why the EU is failing. This is Economy Minister Habeck flailing.
