So much. I mean that’s what the book burning was all about. There’s blacklisted authors. There’s state secrets. It might be information that’s legal only for certain people. I mean, if we’re being pedantic, it’s illegal for you to have information about me if I’m not giving it to you.

Hm I’d say not necessarily. That depends on your situation I guess. The question comes down to “would you give up your property for other people to live in?” If you own 1-2 small properties, that’s not being a greedy landlord. And it would make it possible for you to give people housing they could afford (while still profitable for you, if you needed it to be).

If you charge insane rents, then you’re not only a hypocrite but maybe also schizophrenic. That just sounds like a disconnect.

But it’s very possible to “change the system from within”, even if that’s not my political opinion. If you can buy property, maybe you should. And then rent it to people for an affordable price.

I’m sometimes thinking people should get together and buy mansions to convert into shelters

How have I only now put together that that means the matches are impregnated as in water resistant or something.

Get an accent coach. I guess you’re talking about mid-atlantic.

Yeah…we are so well connected and socialised. The old ways have really proved themselves…

It’s also an issue to have this form of generation fight. We as older men, also have an obligation to question the old ways and listen to the young people. Because yes, a lot of it is a problem. And refusing to see the problem doesn’t make it not a problem. It just makes you part of it. Doesn’t make you evil to consume certain things. But it doesn’t help if you’re not compassionate with the current views and the emotions of the younger people around you. Most people don’t even want to make anyone stop doing something, but they’d be happy to know that you’re questioning it.

Thanks! There’s not that many answers here to my question, just a lot of comments on the thing itself not about the criticism. So thanks for those sources.

Interesting. I’m not sure if that really answers my question. That is you saying it’s their fault for being lonely, yes? And yes, I agree, we men should definitely educate ourselves and better ourselves wherever possible. But would that mean that there’s no systemic issue and it’s “just” men being dumb?

I feel like that’s a easy statement for people to upvote. But I don’t really see an answer to the question. What is the course? Change what? And what established progressive policy?

Not trying to antagonise you at all. Just trying to dig deeper

Ah that last part makes sense as a criticism. Yes, I guess incels have taken this term to defend their sexism

Auto tune you still have to be able to sing to make it sound good. Sampling can be an art form.

The difference here is that you could pay musicians if you don’t play an instrument. Using AI shit just means you’re taking art away from artists

Why not? Or at least if people are choosing a browser they might not see the benefits of Firefox and just see that chromium is more spread and thus more compatible and “user friendly” (whatever that means). If Firefox isn’t better than chrome, why not switch over to the bigger one…(?)

I’m so sorry, Americans. I’m not sure who is even able to liberate your country. You and the Russians liberated the camps in Europe at the end of WW2, but who’s there for you? I think you might need to liberate yourself. Again. I’m sorry. Good luck

i read this and nobody wrote about Shutter Island? it was so so bad i hated it. I hated how people said it was so clever. it was one of the only movies that I spotted continuity errors and mistakes on the first watch in the theatre. and I do NOT believe those mistakes were intentional. the movie was so obvious is the “clever bits” that it tried to do that these mistakes were just not in the same lane. the movie tried to be an Aranovsky movie, but Scorcese is not that director.

No you don’t understand, all of them people were Hamas. As soon as a Palestine civilian dies, they’re automatically promoted to Hamas terrorist

don’t. be angry. show your anger. let it out in productive, constructive ways to support those who can’t

Because we have to acknowledge the systemic privilege of white people. I’m so very white. I have my problems and my concerns, but none of them are for my looks. Black people do not have that luxury.

Yeah it’s not about that. It’s about culture, history, systemic racism, discrimination, found family, community…

This “I don’t see colour” argument is an old blind argument that ignores all of the above.
