I wasn’t (as) worried until Trump won. Now we’re going to have Trump sycophants running our federal government.

Here is a ‘great’ report on Canadian preferences for the States. It highlights fun facts like:

Q: An American Presidential Election will be held in November. Which candidate would you most like to see win?

Majorities of both men and women in Canada prefer Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. However, the preference for Harris is somewhat stronger among women (68%) than among men (51%). While only a minority of men prefer Trump, they are 12 percentage points more likely to do so than are women (27%, compared to 15%). Since 2020, Trump’s appeal has increased by seven percentage points among men (from 20% to 27%) and by five points among women (from 10% to 15%).

And then we get to this:

FIGURE 5 U.S. presidential election: preferred candidate, by federal vote intention (2024)

And if you were curious if it was just a Con thing, as usual no, it’s men again:

I’m extremely worried for my queer and female friends and loved ones. My queer child is already getting more and more aggressive threats from both people they know and don’t know. Two weeks ago it was threatening to attack them after school. Last week was a bottle thrown at them with a ‘vote Trump, fag!’ shout.

I won’t stand by that, so I’m going to dress and act as out as I ever have, so they come for me instead. Come at me, Cons, I’m not afraid.

I wish you and your family the best. It’s a scary time. Love from Canada.

I browse ‘all’ quite a bit, a few times a day, and I have had the same experience as you. I see more posts complaining about “.ml/tankies/etc” than I ever see problematic/whatever posts from them.

Papa bear!?

Like people who never learn proper English to put the other person first when listing them and yourself.

Was that intentional or am I just reading too far into it?

I’m not sure it’s literal, more of a “I feel this way, and I don’t want to assume others do, yet I have to ask has anyone else…?”

You wanna mod instead, go do it.

UNIFIL said Israeli soldiers had also fired at a UN position in Ras Naqoura, “hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system.”

“An IDF drone was observed flying inside the UN position up to the bunker entrance,” UNIFIL said. The previous day, Israeli forces had “fired at and disabled the position’s perimeter-monitoring cameras,” it added. They also deliberately fired at and damaged another position, it said.

So they knew it was the UN that they were attacking? What the fuck.

Personally, I would imagine that the real issue with THIS ARTICLE is the picture they chose to forefront it. Why would they choose that one

A woman was raped over decades by 51 men and your issue is the article has a picture you don’t like as the opening image?

Well the idea with protests like this is to shine so bright a light on it that we force governments to act. If we do that enough, we can make this happen less and less to everyone.

And so, what’s the course of action? To give all men some sterilization treatment?

Who the hell said that?

The case has put into the spotlight a growing problem with rape in France. The number of sexual assault victims in France increased by 33% in 2021 and nearly doubled from 2017, according to a government report. Women made up 89% of rape victims, while 96% of sexual violence perpetrators were men.

But out of almost 35,000 rapes recorded that year, just over 10% were prosecuted, and fewer than 5% resulted in a conviction. And the vast majority of rape or attempted rape victims − nine out of ten − never even file a complaint, the report found.

The plan is to make it so the system actually helps the victims. That’s the idea. These protests bring light to the issue.

And, I promise you, the real numbers are probably scarily equal, just like with domestic abuse. Because men are definitely taught to never come forward with those.

Cool guess, stats say you’re wrong.

But even if the true ratio was 1:50, what’s the solution?

See above.

Seriously this is fucking embarrassing, you’re creating constant strawman arguments without any basis of anything reported.

Sorry you’re getting this reaction. I am a man who was abused by women and all the support groups lead to me taking to a room full of women about it. Do men come forward less often? Yes. It would have to be like 1 in 100 men coming forward for it to be equal. I’ve had one other male friend who has been assaulted, but over half of the women I’ve been friends with have.

If it helps anyone with that being anecdotal, you have to look at the statistics of who is doing it: people in power. Just that alone means more men simply have the opportunity. Add to that that men are told sex is power, and that men who have sex often are virile, whereas women who do are slut shamed. It’s getting better, but still far off.

Anyway I’ll take the downvotes, but every statistic we have shown is that men are the primary antagonist in the vast majority of sexual assault against both men and women.

Yeah I was thinking to myself “how can we make being a teenager even worse for kids?”

And one country being invaded by what was previously thought to be the 2nd best military in the world.

As Libb here said, wordpress is excellent for just writing out a blog. Also, /u/dru@endlesstalk.org, please tell us when you have your blog up :)

:-(

I think I would need some kind of example of what we’re counting as ‘intelligence.’

Just to be clear, your argument was Checks notes “Too bad that modern capitalism produces wealth like no other system” had the proof “the supposed resurgence of fascism never happened despite EU running capitalism for 79 years since the World War 2.” was truly a masterclass.

It’s like you had this well thought out idea, and really just made sure everyone understood that yo-

sorry, hahahahhahaha i just cant, every time I read it I laugh again, hahahahah thank you so much this made my day.

Enjoy being ratio’d though, the view is incredible from up here.

the supposed resurgence of fascism never happened

hahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahaha

hahahahah ’ hahahahaha

hahaahahahahahahahahahaha

Fascist regimes generally came into existence in times of crisis, when economic elites, landowners and business owners feared that a revolution or uprising was imminent. Fascists allied themselves with the economic elites, promising to protect their social status and to suppress any potential socialist revolution.. Then Fascists allied themselves with the economic elites, promising to protect their social status and to suppress any potential socialist revolution. There’s more specifics here if you want them.
