Yeah, saw that. Just think it’s funny they have it in the footer but not in the graph

Still no lemmy lol

Wow. I got the 4 at launch and honestly never had any problems except calls get fucked up more frequently recently. Didn’t know they stopped selling parts, what’s the point?

Hate everything about this. Hate that the notorious “I’m fine with Nazis” JKR is getting new attention, hate that people are already making racist jokes about the cast like it’s 2016 and Ghostbusters just got released, hate that it’s going to be the sloppiest slop. Fuck

all i can say is i agree

please don’t call women “females”

You know that just because gender is a social construct, it doesn’t mean we should or even can just ignore it? You took step one on the awareness ladder but stopped before step two

In Germany there’s a word for the strategy you’re proposing: in der Regierung “entzaubern” - “demystifying” them in government.

As someone has said, the Nazis were lifted into a coalition government which was the last step before their takeover of the country. I agree that this was bad, but it’s a bit simple to compare this to the current situation.

A better comparison is Austria. Austria did exactly what you proposed - the establishment conservatives went into coalition with the extremist right, and after one election, they were able to ditch them. Cool. But the effect of this was permanently legitimizing the right. In the last election the FPÖ, a party founded by actual old nazis, won a plurality of votes. It took a grand coalition of three parties to keep them out of government.

What else is there to do? In Germany and Austria, the right is much more extreme than in Finland. Germany is also a lynchpin in european politics, which the right wants to destroy. In Finland, even the right is anti-russia. In Germany, it’s the conservatives who traditionally dominate. When they compete with the extremist right, they’re not on the other side of the political spectrum, just a little to the center. In Finland, when the social democrats point out the mistakes of the right, they’re more believable and persuasive, because they’re actually markedly different from the party they’re criticizing.

There is another way to combat the right. When the center holds, and is able to agree on certain principles, they can “quarantine” the right. If they don’t, they’ll be unable to compete with other democratic parties, and have to compete only with the right. If they do quarantine, they can ignore the right, while focusing on their actual bread-and-butter issues while avoiding being pulled into a bullshit spiral. This is the current strategy of the german democratic parties (CDU/CSU, SPD, Greens, Linke). It remains to be seen if the strategy will survive the next four years. If it doesn’t, I prophesy dark trouble for germany.

Same reason womens magazines are more popular than mens magazines and womens subreddits and websites are more popular than mens.

Maybe one day we’ll have full equality and it’ll be weird to think of “women’s spaces” as something that’s necessary. But it’s very much so today.

Why should they want to do that? That’s not how most sites for women work!

reddit has /r/TwoXChromosomes which is one of my favorite subs. It’s a general womens subreddit, and though it obviously leans feminist it’s not its main purpose. It welcomes all genders, but remains a womens space.

The fediverse could really use that energy.

Holy shit, you’re not lying. The literal first Post on his Twitter
