0% homelessness in China btw.

Which is like the US declaring homelessness a federal crime, imprisoning everyone who lives on the streets, and calling homelessness a solved problem.

I agree. The war in Ukraine can only truly be resolved by removing it’s root causes. Remove Putin, and the war ends.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Canada a “socialist regime”

God, I fucking wish.

I believe we (as in, people) all have a responsibility to hold each other accountable. But we can also only do so much, and inserting yourself into a toxic community founded for the sole goal of normalizing that toxicity in some misguided attempt to reform such people is beyond what any one person can be expected to engage with.

I explicitly stay away from such groups. I call it out in person, and politely check my friends when they say something that they might not realize is harmful, exactly the same way I expect them to check me, but that’s just it. That kind of discourse isn’t welcome in these groups because they were created with one explicit purpose: to justify and normalize the absolute shittiest behavioursof the most sexiest of male culture.

She’s right, it isn’t a small amount of men. But it’s a supermajority in certain circles, and a tiny, neglible minority in others. She, unfortunately, exposed herself to the worst of men enmasse. We should instead go to those latter circles, and avoid/ostracize those former circles, until they realize if their only goal is sex, they’ll have to figure out how to be a decent person first. And men, choose to be better.

confounds the world

No it fucking doesn’t. The rest of the world is not confused or shocked to see this.

Don’t let American media convince you this was a fucking surprise.

To be fair, if you look at it from the perspective of a narcissist who has never been told “no” his entire life, it makes perfect sense.
