Lula Brazil is very different from bolsonaro Brazil

You can’t possibly make a reasonable argument that Kamala Harris is a fascist lmao

• Authoritarian: no
• Ultra-nationalist: no
• Forcible suppression of opposition: no
• Militarisation of society: no
• State controlled economy: no

If they’re exclusively supporting the right wing candidate, they’re not a centrist, then

Why are you unwilling to enlighten us?

This list isn’t by percentage with a home - it excludes people who rent, so all this shows is that nobody rents their home in China

Imo the second season gets even better, I’m obsessed rn

I clearly said: it’s not targeted at you specifically, but at that fact that women are disproportionately more likely to be harassed or assaulted, and when that happens, the aggressor is almost exclusively men.

They’re not scared of you because you’re personally scary, they’re scared of you because there’s an ingrained culture of sexual harassment of women by men. So when you say “that’s a nice dress” to a woman you don’t know, she’s not thinking “aww cute”, she’s thinking “is this guy being nice, or will they threaten me if I turn them down?”

Seriously, ask literally any woman you know if they’ve ever been sexually harassed, and the answer is almost guaranteed to be yes.

I would 100% pick a Catholic priest

Yes, I know that, that’s how hyperbole works. My point is that such a statement shouldn’t be interpreted as “every priest is a child molester” but as “there’s a concerningly high rate of them, and they’re probably not a good option for childcare.”

You are accusing everyone

When did I say “all men are <whatever you’re saying I’m accusing all men of>?” Stop making this about you, and actually try to understand why interactions with men can be terrifying for women.

But it doesn’t say you personally are unsafe, it says that the odds that a man chosen at random is unsafe is high enough that women - understandably - fear being left alone with a random stranger to a level at least comparable with being left alone with a bear.

An enormous number of men fail to understand just how common and how terrifying it is for women to be harassed, assaulted and raped by men. And that is exactly what the bear/man hyperbole is pointing out.

And the reason people with takes like yours get chewed out for it is because you could do some reflection and consider

what is this systemic issue, what behaviours might make women around me scared, what can we as a society do to change this, and what can I do to avoid women around me fearing I may be unsafe?

But instead, they take it as a personal attack, and so respond

why am I being attacked for someone else’s behaviour?

Edit: here’s another example in a similar format to demonstrate how the meme is being misinterpreted, note how your first response wouldn’t be “why are you accusing all priests?!”

“Who would you rather babysit your child, a bear or a Catholic priest?”

NPR & BBC are probably the closest we’ve got so far - they’re both state funded, but editorially independent (theoretically). There’s still some influence from the government, but it works pretty well.

Edit: public-funded news outlets definitely work best when they’re part of a larger system including other models of governance (like independent non-profits) as well.

Downvoted for using the r-slur

Why is that interesting?

Jeez, who shat in your cereal?

Sir this is a meme

Won’t somebody please think about the gif mispronouncers!

Depends what you’re measuring. Also our imperial units are slightly different, and lots have variations depending on what’s being measured.

Get britished

Because he asked you for a source that one time?

And he’s the thin-skinned one 💀

Eh, I think there’s definitely some legitimacy to doing a virus scan for applications with unrecognised signatures

Not everyone knows how to (or even can for many apps) manually verify the authenticity of their apks

And plenty of non-technical people will just install random shit from the internet without thinking

Pack it up lads, the internet is complete

Thank you

Alrighty bud
