u/Sycopathy

So can you quote for me what sweeping generalisation I made about what people that offended you? Instead of making up your own quote and laughing to yourself about it.

Bro why are you taking this so personally, I'm not saying there is no good food in the US. I'm just saying your mass produced food is made with lower quality standards than Europe as a whole. That's not an opinion that's a fact of legislation, go Google it and be mad at someone else, I didn't write either set of laws.

It's funny because I've never met an American in the UK who hates our food but every American who's never been here will jump to this idea because it's all you know and it's based on stories from soldiers in WW2 when we were literally rationing.

You're clearly triggered by a strawman you've invented.

Bro this screen shot is literally from a fight where Vision gets punched so hard he turns back into his human form. There is no reality where it's better writing for a robot to be punched into it's human disguise, than for aliens and robots hiding amongst humans to look like humans.

Oh sorry, I didn't realise I was seeing a hardened veteran Redditor at work, please carry on.

Bruh you seem to be very snarky without actually having the confidence to state your opinion clearly and cogently.

Bro grow up you are in your late 30s and you have a chip on your shoulder about ties in the workplace, this is literally a verbatim complaint from a school child.

If you're aware that the punk and metal scenes have a long history of being anti fascist why are you confused by the reminder? You literally know it's not a retcon but a reference to a pre-existing sentiment.

The current Emperor has a driver's license and so do many of his family, you gotta lessen the caricature in your mind. Sure they won't be driving down to the corner shop for some fried chicken but they drive on their own private grounds.

Bro no one is getting thanked for paying their taxes, if they wanna get thanked actually choose to spend some money on helping people rather than doing so because the law compels them.

While I'm sure you are sincere you are engaging in a rhetoric of whataboutism. It doesn't add nuance to the conversation to say every time a woman's scheme comes up that the wider context is one where men's schemes are few and far between. Women are disproportionately victims of sex crimes compared to men, who knows maybe when they get women's numbers down to what men's are they may stop dedicating specific resources to women's cases too.

If you want a scheme for men or more eyes on schemes for men and boys the solution isn't to go to places where they are talking about other things and try to divert the conversation it's to create the spaces for discourse yourself or helping the topic at hand reach a resolution where they can divert resources towards the other issues you care about.

If you are patching a leaky ship you don't patch all the holes of a specific shape first you patch the big holes first.

I suggest you read up on the history of peaceful protest movements. Raising awareness only works if the majority you're appealing to aren't apathetic. If they are then disruption is the more successful strategy because then the apathetic people have a reason to go complain to their MPs and for MP the question becomes what's easier, stop people protesting or appease the protesters.

She blockaded King's Landing, one of the most impactful actions in the show and Rhaenyra has spurned nearly every ally she has ever had (Corly, Alyn, Addam, Hugh, Ulf, loyal lords, the people). None of this is to say Aegon has done much better but the point isn't that one is superior but that they both have always been shit candidates for the throne and this entire exercise is an exercise in vanity, something both Aegon and Rhaenyra inherited from Viserys.

It is very sad but the cause is also because the Wachowski's so wonderfully adapted and engaged with many older philosophical concepts like Plato's Cave for the modern audience.

They did it to in no small part translate their personal journey but the nature of the discourse was pulled from sources that are not inherently transaligned.

Like Plato also believed in a caste system where Philosophers were in charge and everyone else stayed in their lane. He also thought women were capable of rational thought but naturally inferior in their ability to contribute compared to men.

My point is if you don't know anything about the Wachowski's the Matrix is still hyper dense and full of rabbit holes that will lead you insane places in philosophy that have nothing to do with the trans experience or the creative context that led to the film's getting made.

Bruh your comment is more black and white than theirs, they just just gave an opinion and you've decided it's a definitive critique and a subpar one at that. Seemingly because it reinforces your worldview.

Ironymaxxing.

It's funny how protective you are of calling people gay, is your vocabulary really so limited that you need to die on a gay hill?

Can you explain why a phrase calling for genocide is somehow less of a disgrace than the genocide they are opposing?

This discourse really seems to be a race to the bottom.

Accidentally rolling over someone's shoes is an act of negligence accidental or not though, being wheelchair bound doesn't necessitate as a fact of reality that they will roll over people's toes.

Having Tourette's makes saying horrendous and hurtful things to anything and anyone a fact of reality for some people. If those people are forced to apologise every moment of every day they spend around others for the crime of having Tourette's and it causing them to say bad things then we are literally victim blaming and having someone apologise for something they have no autonomy over.

Plus in this case it would be teaching or reinforcing upon society the idea that people who suffer Tourette's are accountable for what their ticks make them say. This is inaccurate to reality and we shouldn't demand this guy sublimate himself to a bunch of people who by being angry and offended and demanding he apologise only show they are ignorant of his condition.

A better example using your template would be if a wheelchair bound person was invited to the BAFTAs and they had to bring out a ramp and it made a loud noise during a speech and people got mad. This kinda highlights the actual issue is that the people who angry are angry because they heard a racist slur because if it was a different disability it'd be a non issue. The thing is though is that this is a disability, it's not a choice it's not malice or hatred it's a man who has to suffer the kinda vitriol he is getting thrown at him now for most of his life because people neither care nor understand and would rather feel vindicated by punishing him.

This is what I mean like, no one is making a biological claim, you're so ignorant of the conversation that you're sitting here inventing enemies and thrashing about violently.

NO ONE CLAIMS TRANS WOMEN ARE BIOLOGICALLY FEMALE.

That's literally a fabrication of your mind because you have no idea what you're talking about. You could better argue your position if you understood the debate but your refusal just proves you are not a reliable source because you won't even do research. You hear something, misunderstand its meaning and then start digging in. Completely wasting your energy and mine.

If you can't be bothered to Google the words you use I can't be bothered to try and have a reasonable conversation with you.

Bro literally go Google the difference between gender and sex, like your personally made up definitions don't mean anything in the context of society. You need to understand what words mean before you can meaningfully opine.

It's the same point as with India, there have been thousands of years of Indian history yet the nation of a unified India is only as old as the end of British colonialism.

The difference is based on the social contract, India became independent and thus gained a new social contract that is distinct from the Raj and the Indian states before.

In the same way the CCP created a new social contract, the mandate of the Chinese state is not founded on the same principles as the thousands of years of Chinese history and thus it is a distinct country and state to historic China.

Another example is the UK, the reason it can be said the UK is a nation with a 1000 years of history is because the Conquest of William the Conqueror in 1066 began the establishment of British Common Law and the creation of the Magna Carta further institutionalised this. To this day the government is a Constitutional Monarchy headed by a descendant of William the Conqueror with a legal system that has been an evolving corpus since then.

Do you see now how the CCPs China has more in common with modern India than modern Britain in terms of the continuity of it's nationhood. No one disputes China has millenia of cultural history and if the argument is one of Chinese civilisation sure, but the nation of China today is not affiliated with Chinese governments of old it replaced them.

I don't see how he's going to get mineral rights in Greenland at no cost, even if Denmark gave it to him for free which will never happen, the cost of extracting the resources are insanely high, it's some of hardest rare earth materials to acquire on the planet.

Plus the 1951 Defence Agreement with Greenland already allows the US to put as many bases as it needs for strategic defence on the island.

Basically a nothing statement until there are actual details on anything.

The concept and even the work can obviously have good immediate effects for partner nations, however the larger strategic purpose is one sided and somewhat nefarious depending on your perspective.

It's something to complain about as Neo Colonialism in the same way the US and other Western countries provide military arms for wars and then get paid to help rebuild and exploit the resources people fought over.

I know your current guy sucks but damn Obama is kinda famous for popularising drone attacks.

You have a bunch of past presidents that actually bettered your democracy and you pick one of the guys who normalised killing kids with joysticks and calling it collateral as the best?

Do you honestly think horse owners in this country need hunts as an excuse to take their animals out?

There's one thing to be dreaming or daydreaming or just visualising something actively even and not quite realising you're lost in the sauce it's another thing to be incapable of differentiating reality from figments of your imagination, that is literally a psychosomatic symptom.

I can imagine grand, vibrant and alive scenes and dream of insane experiences but it is fundamentally not the same thing as being incapable of distinguishing reality from imagination.

It's kinda crazy to me that the same people claiming they have the best imaginations can't imagine that there is actually something that scales higher in acuity and it's not some fun quirk you'd be calmly talking about online it'd destroy your life and sense of reality if it was true.
