Who do you think runs the fucking world already…its us, men.
I hope you realize how alienating a sentence like this is, for someone who is as stomped by society as many women are.
This narrative is exactly what prevents any form of class solidarity, and I really can’t understand how someone can write it in the same comment where class struggle is raised.
There are 2 issues here that are being mixed.
One is women not being allowed to positions of power. The other is with women being underrepresented in certain fields (e.g., stem).
The second issue is what I am talking about and I don’t think at all that men “choose” not to try certain careers in the same way women don’t “choose” not to study stem and pursue stem careers. For both, social pressure and expectations, an existing field dominated by the other sex with all its implications are factors of discrimination. Strict gender roles are damaging for both men and women, and this is a perfect example.
Like another comment stated about Germany, even in Italy medicine faculties have a majority of women today as well.
I agree that in general teacher jobs are not glamorous or high-paying, but it’s still a very important role in society and we can still discuss how it’s a problem that there is an effective (social, mostly) barrier for males accessing (lower level) education jobs.
I do believe that this is essentially another symptom of a wider problem related to gender roles.
Not OP, but positions like nurses or teachers are very female dominated. It’s not like males cannot reach those positions, but there are social obstacles to that. To make an example from my country, in Italy primary school teachers are > 90% female. I believe in kindergarten they reach 97 or 98%. This is also partially the result of strict gender roles than discriminate both men and women in terms of caring for children (I.e., women are de facto forced to do that, men are pushed away), which then reinforces the social practice of women doing all the caring jobs.
This is IMHO a problem for both men and women, but probably it’s not from the same perspective as what OP meant…
There is Brassic episode about stealing bull sperm (although from a farm, not a bank).
I think it’s S3e01
How is this even a conversation… Imagine this level of CW on a newspaper. You basically would have 30 CW per article.
I think this is way overcompensating. There is a difference between putting generally disturbing content being a CW and putting anything remotely upsetting behind a CW. The latter is an overcompensation that leads to people avoiding any chance of being uncomfortable.
Yep, i have mentioned that here coincidentally. But as you probably know the region where this happens has a special status in Italy (it’s not the only one) and German is officially equal to Italian there (despite Italian being the ultimately legal language for disputes etc.). French is also an official language of Valle d’Aosta, I think.
As far as I am aware, anywhere else in Italy (where German is indeed not an official language) there are no (public) schools that teach in German. For example, despite almost a million of Romanian-speakers in Italy, nobody has a right of education in Romanian in Italy. This pretty much sums up my point, no state offers public education in a language different from their official language(s).
Interesting, I didn’t look at it. Tbh it sounds ridiculous in general to claim a government is Nazi for trying to make the official language survive (especially in the case of Estonian). It also shows how clueless some people are, as if they actually knew what they were talking about they would know that in Estonia for example Russian is very used in Tallinn, local newspapers are printed in both languages, etc. While in Ukraine you actually needed Russian to study in certain universities even (like in Odesa).
Either way, I doubt any argument would work for tankies, that’s a cult.
Open that post:
Ukraine is literally using israel as an example and btw the donbass uprising happens because azov started killing russophone ukrainians.
36 upvotes. Tons of Azov members were russophones, and the original battalion (to be cleat, fuck them, they were in most cases actual Nazis) spoke russian as their communication language. Also timelines don’t add up, and geographically doesn’t make any sense.
Absolutely their rules are bullshit performative stuff.
Good data, there are some similar cases with remote communities in Northern Italy, but very different situations indeed.
Keep Tuscany, Rome, Milan, Naples and Venice and you are done for Italy.
Not to worry, the mainline of hexbear and .ml regarding Ukraine is completely messed up. They have a completely west-centric view and lack any serious context whatsoever.
Unfortunately stalinists can’t accept that the Soviet Union had plenty of flaws and oppressed people, including workers, in many ways. Instead of learning the lesson to avoid repeating past mistakes they just double-down.
I had a conversation once when someone called all the baltics “Nazi hotbeds” and to support this claim they linked a law that is gradually removing Russian schools in favour of having Russian as a foreign language. Someone was telling me that “people have a right to have education in Russian” and failing to provide that is a human rights violation. I asked to show me a country in which education in foreign language is a right, but sadly didn’t get any answer. I have also then linked soviet laws that forbid teaching in Ukrainian, and surprisingly I didn’t get any answer either.
I have also provided some interesting sources from Ukrainian leftists, one specifically was from a historian. But obviously the American fella on Lemmy - who doesn’t speak a word of any language which is not English, never read anything from a non-western source, lacks cultural context etc. - knows better.
I think life is too short to deal with silly things, and even shorter to deal with idiots. I - a communist from Western Europe - ended up blocking both instances because I have no interests in being associated with zealots of a Stalinist cult.
Pizza a taglio is actually something almost exclusively found in and around Rome.
BTW even regular pizzas have various toppings, they just need to make sense (for example tuna and onions is a possibility).
Tbh, I have been to Iceland twice and I have managed to eat very well! (Italian here)
There is no much variety, but I have eaten very good lamb (as you are saying), stews (both mean and fish), even baked goods (there was a tiny house with very good cakes in the middle of nowhere in Westfjords).
My favorite probably was a fusion sushi place (I.e. sushi with local fish) in Seydisfiordur (the town where Ben Stiller arrives to in the Walter Mitty movie BTW). I don’t think the place exists anymore (that was in 2018) but it was very good.
Sometimes you can find very good food in unexpected places (for example, I have never eaten better Mexican food than in Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland!).
Looking at how this started, it’s even more depressing.
I understood what you meant, not sure why you would assume otherwise. My point is that there is no need to invent new business models. Your proposal is similar to “pay with your data”, a new business model that has negative consequences for the collectivity.
In case of these types of games, a flat rate for the game and potentially a pay-per-use without margin to cover hosting (minimal, can be factored in the initial price) and API calls (gMaps) could be an option. Or none of this, and they factor in the cost already in the initial purchase. Either way, to come back to the topic of discussion, asking a one year subscription for a game sold for free (to lure people in) is IMHO predatory behavior with no excuse.
Anyway, tl;dr money already exists and people can pay for that, we don’t need to waste more computing power to find an alternative. The use of crypto incentives the overall crypto market which causes even more people (or companies) to waste energy for nothing.
This feels like a technical approach for a solution to a political problem. We shouldn’t normalize a solution to a predatory approach that companies have, we should regulate so that the approach can’t be taken by companies on the first place, we should foster competition so that those who do are going to be outcompeted etc.
Wasting even more electricity to compute numbers used in an unstable speculative market with no clear future is IMHO a completely wrong approach to the problem.
Objdct storage is anyway something I prefer over their app. Restic(/rustic) does the backup client side. B2 or any other storage to just save the data. This way you also have no vendor lock.
Saying “it’s us, men” (to rule the world) is inherently a narrative that avoid discussing the class division, because being a man is not being part of a social class.
I might have misunderstood what you meant, but this argument is put forward quite often by certain groups that lost completely touch with the class struggle, hence my remark.
