One of the funniest things about American car culture is that Americans probably walk the same distance from their parking spot to the store as I walk from my home.
I forgot about that episode. TOG was still more difficult for me to watch though due to the way Kirk talks about women when they’re not present and the way he watches them when they walk away. But it’s not a race, kirk and Picard can both be gross.
Both are gross towards women but Picard is a little bit less gross.
Israel has put great effort into tying judaism with zionism. The people that went to school in Israel (but also some jewish people abroad through jewish educational programs sponsored by Israel) learn that any attack on Israel is an attack on jews akin to the holocaust, and that all Palestinians want to kill all jews. Israel as an apartheid state has also been very attractive to racist people who do not care and even welcome a genocide of the people they consider to be ‘lesser’. Israel used that to advertise to such alt right people so that they can continue to violently colonise more Palestinian land. The people that do not condone apartheid and genocide were more likely to leave in the last decades (if they were able to) leaving those still there as a minority.
Netanyahu’s popularity rose with the invasion and large scale bombings of civilian targets in Libanon. That should tell you enough about what most Israeli’s think of the genocide.
Not true. It might be that people with illnesses that cause a higher risk of heart attacks can also make it more difficult for them to go out and meet people due to low mobility or chronic pain or fatigue.
While agree with the sentiment, electorialism will never end capitalism because of the power imbalance where capitalists will spend all their money if they need to for heavy propaganda campaigns in favour of capitalism.
Your energy is better spent on small scale organising your workplace, to make sure that you and your coworkers can actually use the only leverage you have through strikes.
The word world is literally in the name… When I joined lemmy I started there because I assumed it would be a general instance. It’s like worldnews where 90% of posts are US politics. Also, it’s not an obsession, most times it comes up it’s just a joke (like this meme).
More working class children means that there will be more people to exploit in the future. The size of the working class population is extremely important for the generation of wealth because they’re basically the only ones doing productive labour.
With that attitude towards cyclists you probably shouldn’t drive because you’d be making the road unsafe for a mode of transportation that is healthier and more space and energy efficient than a car.
‘A system that counteracts those selfish tendencies’ you mean a system in which:
- housing is not controlled by companies with no moral incentive to keep them liveable and affordable?
- people don’t learn from a young age that their value is directly connected to their willingness to fuck people over for money?
- there is no monetary incentive to create artificial deficits in essential goods like housing and food?
- the whole economy is not based on ‘cheap labour’ and the illegal extraction of minerals from other countries?
Why would any Cuban politician be pro USA when said country is blocking every possibility of trade with other countries which results in food scarcity because Cuba is too small to do all production domestically and is therefore lacking in large scale farming equipment and fuel?
