To conflate the main activities of an occupying army with that of a tactical cell or rebel/insurgent and claiming they're the same in nature, really makes me wonder why we would have intelligence agencies or counterterrorist rapid

As stated, the male gaze is a form of misogyny. Since you keep asking the same, here's some reading for you as well. It's not worth my energy to reply if your just going to ignore that and repeat your question. Best of luck. http

Why is it considered by others to be a bad thing, to see women as lesser and to keep them down, just because they're women? Let me give you an easy out here, and tell you my assumptions. I am assuming it also only took you a minute to

If it exists for males to revel in? Yes, the male gaze is misogynist. I don't think that still requires explaining, it has been written about a lot.

Bit off topic but a pet peeve of mine. "A few bad apples", is only the first part of the expression that ends with: "spoil the batch". I think it is applicable here as well.

What's your point? The reason that guns are dangerous isn't schizophrenia either, but we know that they're more dangerous than marijuana as well. Likewise it is quite evident that sugar has been causing way more harm than mar

It isn't lack of understanding that is being expressed, it is a lack of acceptance. I think that is a good thing. And even if you would percieve ignorance instead, it doesn't mean that they need snark targeted at them. Please resp

"The famous Marshmallow Test. Do the kids have high trust or low trust in the authority figure to give them 2 marshmallows?" Not a good example as those were about the child having the discipline to wait the needed time for the se

I agree with the point you're trying to make, but not your sentiment. To quote the guidelines: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sne

Internet is bigger than the mainstream. It's not just YouTube and Facebook. If you really wish to have a side stream, maybe go on 4Chan or visit the dark web. Because let's not pretend that the internet was easy to navigate back i

Neither does it his. It is a problem for some areas to the point it will completely erode the empathy of people who have to live with it. Their stake is not an internet argument, but a daily reality to deal with. You can then argue that it&

Again: "you're holding it wrong". Just because a plant based lifestyle is burdensome, doesn't mean people think it should be. And by that reasoning neither should any other diet. So I don't get why the projection of

You're missing the point. As these things are regulated, the holes get plugged by the authority regulating them. This is not so much the case in the crypto space. They see regulation as an ineffeciency, that needs to be disrupted Meanw

It is becoming very clear from your comments you have not seen the thing you're criticizing, bur rather argue from a paradigm you're familiar with. So I am going to join the chorus here and advise you to visit a dutch city, so you

Excuse me? Dutchie here, the US have a horrible reputation even among their allies. They are as much criticized as Russia is right now. Maybe even more so considering that we get more imagery from the "exploits" of the US. Stop wi

It hasn't ceased to amaze me to see how many people from the US think of their ideology as the end result of a process. As their ideology is the logical conclusion of it, and some countries are more mature than others along this line o

Do you have a problem with the words "disorder" or "illness"? Because it comes across to me that it rubs you the wrong way that so many people can be considered flawed in some way. I don't think that way of looking

I don't think this comment section is supposed to be a competition. Neither do I think the article was a sneer towards others, but a way to ask for empathy for a certain situation. It wasn't about you, and you don't need to m

For me the analogy falls flat, as the cuban missile crisis is a response to something the US did, and the invasion of Ukraine is a response to something that Ukraine did (and not NATO) NATO did not court Ukraine, instead Ukraine wishes to b

I don't understand, do you want to stop the blame game, or would you rather have it pointed at the US, because:"the US started it"? Two wrongs don't make a right, now do they? I find it mind boggling that such an act of

Are you wilfully ignoring that there is a legal definition of what a business is, that the issue at hand is spoken about in a legal context? Your personal semantics are irrelevant in that context.

You sound like the motivation behind social security and UBI are different. It's nice to present a clean (modeled) plan, but it's something different when it hits reality. Social security now, is what UBI will look like a few deca

There's a difference between reasonable and pedantic. To say "going through that neighborhood is perfectly safe", doesn't mean you're not aware of there ever being crimes there. So yeah, if you would try something l
