Yes, this is The Great Filter. We fix it or fade away.

I think fraud laws should be extended outwards from economic law and cover mass manipulation. Make politicians legally honest. Provide robust investigative support to prove or disprove intent. Unintentional mass manipulation gets injunctions. Intentional gets fraud convictions.

OK, I am not surprised, but that's not well known and kind of a taboo subject so not official, they were 'guidelines' and the policies were 'encouragement'. Canada did similar nasty abusive sterilization in its colonial enterprise until the '70s, but hardly anyone knows.

I get the sense they are sticking it more to entitled guys and potential mothers-in-law than the government! Just going off one friend's opinions there, though.

That was a PRC policy, don't be ignorant. There were government recommendations to only have two kids, not a regulation, and it was over 60 years ago.

The problem in Taiwan stems mostly from women chafing against patriarchy in a modern world.

A lot of things

Buy local

This flag has been used all over Asia by youth to express unity in dissatisfaction with corruption and a system that is stacked against them. I think it started in Indonesia, but I am not sure.

Now tainted with the tang of imperialism

Groypers vs TP

Protests are the threat of violence. People complain about them being ineffective but they are just too small then.

Most of the important social change throughout history has been done by slow constant effort of people being organized and persistent, not violent.

So of course, I had to check your comment history and, though it's evident you are not trying to be a social saboteur, your manner can be quite abrasive or even arrogant at times and thus seem like a provocateur.

So if that's part of your schtick, I guess you might as well just get used to the accusations now and then.

Agents provocateurs have been with us all along. It's an old tactic. I have run into some myself.

What's new is algorithmic manipulation.

• regular, persistent, angry protests (necessary and foundational)
• small, medium, large organizations in coalition, loosely coordinated, some ad hoc
• pressure and advocacy at all scales of government
• strong, educational and propagandistic cultural surge across all forms of media
• a meaningful conversation at most kitchen tables, and coalition of former adversaries
• a vanguard of shitdisturber vandals and saboteurs to draw ire and attention in useful ways (dumb fucks usually mess this up, the circleA tattoo is so shallow)
• critical mass, then the changes just cascade

This is how history teaches us about change. Read Antonio Gramsci, it’s useful.

I checked out the community, then realized you’re posting articles from rebel news. Fuck that anti-sovereignty noise.

Yes, people under stress, or more accurately the duress of a chronic, barely relenting, and ubiquitous threat, are going to be reacting defensively in a reflexive manner, and that sometimes, especially for people who aren’t emotionally intelligent, means that they are going to stereotype.

Frankly, it is important to remember that there is a lot of cognitive load, trying to figure out who is a threat and who is not.

So, please have compassion in this situation, and recognize that many of the people you see as stereotyping or painting “men” with a broad brush are dealing with a kind of PTSD. Once you keep that in mind, it’s a lot easier to have a thick skin, and with compassion can even help them see things more clearly without being oppositional.

It’s likely if you’re a man who behaves a certain way. I am an older man who has had to assist quite a few women after various degrees of sexist assault. I have also worked closely with men who were victims of violence by women, but I am generally in agreement with people about the misogyny risk that is everpresent for women. Most guys have little idea how deep it runs.

And then we get this kind of whinging. Dude, fucking wake up.

What others have mentioned here, plus seagrass and kelp. There is a lot of recovery to do of these once massive ecosystems, thus a lot of carbon to tie up.

LPT: bad spoons are kept next to the stove for tasting or dosing ingredients. We use a steel cup for easy access because you always need one in a hurry.

Yes, analogous to drug companies emphasizing treatment over cure.

Fortunately, we also educate each other daily through casual and professional encounters, so we can work towards a culture that appreciates education.

SOME particular kinds of people. Some are constitutionally opposed to unequal distribution.
