@moriah_bridges I recognize the exact type of kid this produces, and I find that the focus on protecting their self-image tends to produce pro-social narcissists that become estranged from their peers trying to balance self-image and conformity. Liable to cry and get homesick, common in scouting
@hardest_my Paglia correctly understood that women must redefine womanhood by adopting masculine traits of aggression and assertiveness if they want power. Dworkin was just critiquer on the sideline, while Paglia was creating an Over Woman, which would later kil her (Le Wokeisme)
@ContraPoints@adamlumly 2023 strangely recontextualized nazi paraphenalia as anti-semitic instead of generic white supremacists hate symbols. It really reveals where leftists draw the line.
@FakeTaxedBrass Reading descriptions of British battles during the Opium Wars is incredible. Qing troops would show up to pitched battles with 5 mile long fronts against a few thousand Englishmen, suffer one barrage of Western artillery and then surrender.

@fractal_friend A lot of post-Vietnan cases of veteran reported PTSD is probably caused by soldiers coming back from combat with nothing to do, getting depressed, then blaming PTSD because depression is considered a feminine psychiatric disorder.
@MariGO2thepolls It feels like a desperate attempt to place the blame of all the worlds evils and especially Brexit/Trump on a neoliberal boogeyman.
The world has always been held together by kind lies, because its how you get things done. The fake world was there all along.
@BuffUdyr@lionel_trolling How meaningfully different are the Hadiths in Shia and Sunni Islam, and do Shias and Sunnis interpret the overlapping Hadiths the same?
Catholics and Protestants read the same book, but just interpret it differently.
@bigseb31213@Miyhnea It's essentially a modern day slave plantation. Nearly all the greenhouse workers are illegal migrants that don't have any labor rights or pay taxes, but the government tolerates it because its a large export.
@KirkegaardEmil They were not forcefully inserted as you imply, and it had nothing do with finances. It was an independt decision by the health commissar of Greenland to heavily promote contraceptives as a response to an epidemic of rape and incest, in at a time where abortions were dangerous.
