Freedom for u/anal_full_nelson!

Anti-LGBT propaganda in the mainstream has been mostly the doing of PiS affiliated media, Catholic Church and teenage edgelords. Say what you will about PiS, they are not pro-Russia, and their homophobia looks tame compared to what was happening in the 90s. While there is some external interference on the fringes, we can be shitty on our own.

Polish homophobia doesn’t require stimuli from abroad, we’re doing well on our own. When we decriminalised homosexual acts in 1932 it was already decriminalised in then-Bolshevik Russia so I wouldn’t look into historical context that much. If I had to blame any external factors it’d be turning Poland into ethnically homogenous country after WW2. Allies did a real number on us then.

It’s anti-LGB hate speech bill. Gender identity was quietly removed from the bill draft couple of months ago.

Could be that US rejected modernity because it wasn’t working for them.

Same but both seem to be quite inspired by old Desktop Dungeons so I’m interested anyway.

No, this is specifically about consequences of chinese policy where foreign companies are required to have a domestic partner to be able to do business at all.

Politicians lie so I’m mostly interested in outcomes, not the narratives that politicians use to make things happen. Why would I care that something I want and is mostly outside of my control happens for the wrong reasons?

They will do what’s most profitable. If domestic production becomes competitive someone will do it.

Cancer seems to be less of an issue with biologic DMARDs and with NSAIDs there are bigger cardiovascular issues to be worried about. But either way it’s trading bad outcomes.

My observation of online communities for chronic diseases is that there are some people that read new research papers and share new findings because there’s so little else they can do. Knowledge in those communities spreads fast (but so does bullshit unfortunately).

If you proposed something else that would uplift lower classes sooner they’d probably vote for it. What Democrats were offering wasn’t credible enough because people have been deceived for too long.

Are you arguing that tariffs and other market restrictions are ineffective at incentivising moving of production sites? I guess that’s why Biden lifted tariffs Trump imposed. Oh wait.

Or are you arguing that container ships full of plastic trash are good for the environment?

It’s a little bit of good news for folks with autoimmune diseases. I’ve been reading a lot on spondyloarthritis / psoriasis over the last couple of weeks (being tested for both) and this doesn’t appear to be common knowledge.

I’m not here to convince liberals that they should try to care for the poor. I’m here to argue that the jig is up - people are voting for literally anyone, including fascists, that promises to change the course.

Done, thanks for pointing this out.

Tariffs can serve as a stimuli to build out local manufacturing capacity, which sounds pretty leftist to me. I understand arguments for laissez faire policies but at heart they are liberal and not left. It’s the refusal to accept it that led to far right being as popular as it is.

Won’t the tariffs incentivise domestic production and give work to more regular folks? There’s also less stuff to be hauled around the world so there’s environmental benefits too. Sounds like a leftist idea to me.

If you’re not watching that Paloma Diamond series yet, you should.

It sounds like you need a desktop computer or a docking station.
