I was imagining this picture with the purple people as queer people and straight women, and the pink ones as cishet men
Anne Frank was a queer jewish victim of the nazi genocide. This is not comparable to the outing of Luigi, and I find this meme just as tasteless as the people who think the ceo is more important than normal people
No, they are saying one side being bad doesn't make "the other side" perfect or immune to criticism
The US participating in the Palestinian genicide does not excuse Russia invading Ukraine. The US invading Iraq does not excuse nationalists in India attacking Muslims
It is not the same thing, and western imperialism doesnt make non-western imperialism ok. Even if it is a lot worse
Id say: prisons dont work, cost a lot and does huge damage. They also often work as a gateway to heavier crime. I dont need a replacement for that. "Nothing" would still be an improvement. This is the short answer
When that is said, what do we do about crime? Id say that depends, what kind of crime? There are so many different motivations for doing crime, there should be just as many solutions: removing poverty, proper sex education, confiscating the money from the rich, remove the reasons people are doing crime in the first place
We also do a lot of alternatives today: fines, mental hospitals, community service, guidance, conflict counseling, anger management courses, sometimes a serious conversation with the police, childcare help, detox institutions, and a lot more
They have three things in common: they work, they are a lot cheaper and they dont for the same mental damage as torture/prison
And then there are those under 1% og criminals that is totally lost, that need to be locked up. But only until we get a society where they dont get lost..
Yeah, I was as taken by surprise as you. I guess thats one of the reasons I keep using Lemmy after ditching reddit
Vegans have their rights to opinions just as you and me. This is not about t vegans vs us, but about how to handle disagreements We never learn if we just sensor everyone we disagree with
This thread is not about your vegan vs antivegan-take but how to approach disagreements. In this regard you failed, and luckily, you are not an admin
Shouldnt be and being are two different concepts. Lack of discrimination shouldnt be a privilege, but it is. I dont think hiding it is a part of the solution
I feel this, so tired of men explaining to me things I already know
A future without money, where peace, feminism and diversity rule? Yes, leftist ☺️
Nono, USA have renamed it freedom fries in the name of the blood of millions of iraqis
Hey! Eurovision says Israel is part of Europe! We should include their terror on these maps top then
But then their circle would be so huge, it wouldnt be any space for the other countries
