They’re installing this hate for liberals both in tankies…

Man I didn’t realize Phil Oches was a Russian agent. Leftist criticism of liberal hypocrisy is nothing new, just new to you.

Appreciate it.

Philanthropy has always been a PR calculation to keep the masses from revolting against the accumulation of wealth.

Jacobin - Bill Gates Chooses Corporate Patent Rights Over Human Lives

Politico - How Bill Gates and partners used their clout to control the global Covid response — with little oversight

New Republic - How Bill Gates Impeded Global Access to Covid Vaccines

I can keep going if that’s not enough to read. Also lol at you trusting a governmental committee report.

Fuck Gates, he is responsible for many heinous things, most recently encouraging pharma companies to patent publicly funded covid vaccines, which has denied access to the global population, which then encourages mutations.

I don’t care what he is saying whether it’s good or not there are better people worth listening to on the subject. Billionaires are not the answer to the world’s problems, they are the cause of them.

Ok bud.

Were you yourself ignorant to this?

Yes dude, piss bottles in the warehouse are a meme at this point. Working conditions in the warehouses have been making headlines since people died due to overheating way back in 2013.

Idk what point you’re trying to make. Are you saying we need to make signs for how Amazon abuses it’s employees?

I don’t care if he does or does not, the point is Amazon’s ruthless exploitation of the working class is not an unknown fact.

Ignorance is not an excuse.

No pass granted. Amazon is currently hiring their anti-union lawyers as direct warehouse managers to fight the unionization efforts at KCVG Airhub. There is no excuse in 2024 to take a gig from this company and not understand who you are getting in bed with.

Support KCVGs union effort! They are the companies largest airhub and function as a critical choke point in their supply lines. A union win would be a huge success for unionization across all warehouses at Amazon.

True homies get on the level.

There is no value considered in providing stable income to the team members. No value considered in artists honing their craft. Even if the games only had marginal profits in and of themselves, considering the cost of big budget games, there is still huge value in creating and maintaining a large IP.

I fucking hate everything about this.

non-walkable city.

If the city is built ass backwards it would be a better investment to address that than start mining resources on the moon. Idk that’s just me though.

It’s a joke.

Just play something better and skip buying it all together.

Nightclubs are a space that preditors are active in and that skews the perception. It’s absolutely best practice to hold your drink, that doesn’t mean the chances of a random man in the forest who is going to be a threat is high. How many people just don’t enjoy nightclubs?

You’re making alot of assumptions about the people disagreeing. My co-parent has been talking about this bear tiktok since it first showed up, how disappointed she has been with friends saying they would pick a bear, how harmful the discussion revolving around it is to young men, how 4th wave feminism leans more to reactionary politics instead of building towards material change. She is a socialist political organizer and every single woman in her party is pretty demoralized by this whole thing as it says alot about the publics political consciousness. If half the population more than half the population judging by the men in this thread agreeing to pick the bear, see strangers as a dangerous other, where does that leave us to join together to make meaningful change in society?

Having lemmy be my only form of social media this is my first time encountering the bear discussion and I completely understand her frustration now.

You misunderstand me if you feel I am arguing against the data.

I don’t want to get in the weeds here, at least once in the last 12 months is not regularly, that’s my point on your misrepentation. Does it happen too much, absolutely, does the study present enough data to say it’s happening regularly, no.

Again when talking about actual threats to women it is not strangers but men already in their circle, yet that is not what the bear discussion revolves around.

Please answer: Why do you think the actual threat doesn’t shape public consciousness the same way perceived threats do?
