They’re helping now cause it’s so close to home, but they let it get this bad.

Man, so did we. In any given moment, there are a thousand international crises, and just as many domestic ones. I'm not gonna fault Europe for not being on top of things any more than I'd fault us.

Women vote Dem more often than men, so it's become an increasing and concerningly earnestly expressed talking point on the far-right that repealing women's right to vote would be Good, Actually

That's the meme's point. The "both sides" argument is asinine at its core.

PugJesus,
@PugJesus@kbin.social avatar

The "both sides" argument isn't asinine because it equates the two major players, its asinine because it accepts their premise that they're the only ones that matter.

Can't it be asinine for both reasons?

Many have criticised her for "hijacking feminism", to the extent that the feminist movement became subservient to the ministry.

"She followed a pattern that sounds like enlightened despotism. The ministry said: 'This is what really protects women. This is what we should really do with transgender people. This is what is authentic, this is what is progressive and this is what we are going to impose," Fernando Vallespín, professor of political science at the Autonomous University of Madrid, told Euronews.

"It wasn't necessary for Irene Montero to be there for feminist advances to be consolidated under a progressive government. It seems to me very questionable that she was so fundamental for women's rights".

"But what she has really worked for is the inclusion of all LGTBI people, especially transsexuals, as part of feminist rights. A qualitative leap that is not without risk," he adds.

Ah, the "We even tolerate some of you!" argument.

Not everyone is convinced. Crystal Semaganis, a Plains Cree activist from Saskatchewan who now lives in Temagami, Ont., was among those questioning the group when the Place d'Orléans announced the opening on Facebook on Sept. 5.

"Just because you all have money and bought a laminator doesn't make you remotely Indigenous, and you're certainly NOT Metis," she wrote on Facebook. "Y'all are delusional! FRAUDS!"

Dumont replied: "No, little girl, YOU are the ones taking all the money, including our hard-earned tax money to get everything for free. You are the fraud … not us."

In an interview, Semaganis said the comment struck her as racist. It is a stereotype that First Nations don't pay taxes and "get everything for free" in Canada, and Dumont acknowledged that to CBC Indigenous.

"It is," said Dumont. "It's not my best time. I admit it."

Jesus Christ. I highly encourage people to read the article. It's fucking wild. Looks like a grift, and a grift run by disingenuous racists at that, from top to bottom, at the expense of the indigenous.

If they want to cosplay, that's disrespectful, but it's whatever at the end of the day; they only humiliate themselves. But making money from it? That's fucking scumbag behavior of the lowest sort.

In addition to the blatant racism displayed by their prominent members.

A very good article. US military doctrine has been oriented around air power for some 80 years now, but that's not always viable for other countries (especially when politicians try to avoid 'escalation' by not sending much-needed aircraft). Listening to Ukrainian soldiers about what they need, not the 'proper' way to fight a NATO war, is essential.

Probably it is that US doctrine is much more efficient - but there's no use for a screwdriver when you don't have any screws. You work with the tools you have, not the ones you wish you had.

Alternatively, give Ukraine the tools it needs and just clear the fucking skies already, Libya style. Fuck Russia.

The Finnished product

PugJesus,
@PugJesus@kbin.social avatar

The chart is all technically true. Finland was united in a crown union with the Russian crown, when the tsar abdicated, the decision was made for the Finnish parliament to take up sovereignty in his abscence. Thus, in a sense, you could say that Finland maintained the claims of the Russian crown in that the same instrument of government was continued and responsible for the transition to a republican and independent Finnish government, while the Russians overthrew the old regime entirely and replaced it with the shiny new Soviet system.

No one takes it seriously though, it's really just a kind of historical joke, and as the chart alludes to, there are more claimants to the Roman Empire than residents of the city.

PugJesus,
@PugJesus@kbin.social avatar

And calling the Western Roman Empire illegitimate (even though it contained Rome) and then the Ottomans too, but calling the Russian Empire (which never had anything to do with the Roman Empire) legitimate is more than questionable.

I mean, obviously it's a joke chart so it stretches interpretations to get the conclusion/punchline, but it might mean 'illegitimate' because, as it notes, the West was 'reunited' (extremely temporarily) with the Eastern Roman Empire, and the ERE always claimed to be the 'one' true legitimate Roman Empire.

To those genuinely interested in moderating (kbin.social)

@Ernest has pushed an update which allows users to request ownership/moderation of abandoned magazines. Ghost/abandoned magazines were fairly prevalent after the initial wave of hype due to users either squatting magazine names or becoming inactive for other reasons. Now is your chance to get involved, if you were waiting to do...
