This is a fallacy that's been deconstructed so many fucking times the fact im about to do it again for you makes my tummy hurt a little bit but ill do it anyways

You're interpreting that quote as there being either one issue we can globally engage in, or another. But that's not how it is. You could also go into any thread talking about violence against dogs, or violence against the elderly, or against Palestinians, and make the same annoying pointless whataboutism and you wouldn't technically be incorrect that violence against men is just as valid, but you'd still receive backlash every time. Why? Because you're using this issue that's near to your heart, violence against men, and instead of engaging with it in an honest attempt to improve the situation, you're simply weaponizing it against others and their cherished social issues to the benefit of literally nobody.

You put activist in quotes but let me ask you, what op eds have you written? What charities have you donated to, nonprofits have you volunteered for? How many bricks have you thrown? I guarantee you none, because every single time I see someone doing the shit you're doing, it's the extent of their "activism," and THATS where the quotation marks belong, on your shit, not anyone else's.

Plastics aren't just shopping bags. Plastics are used in clothing, machinery, solid state electronics, literally everywhere. You can't just ban a material that's been essential to the world economy for the past century, you have to replace it with something

it's always fun to substitute "climate talks" or "fighting climate change" in news headlines with "saving the world" because while the meaning remains identical, it really helps to highlight how ridiculous and nonsensical this behavior is

"Pope, Iran derail efforts to save the WORLD" now that's a headline

your ethnic origins, cultural upbringing and place of birth make you a Latino. There are white Latinos, Afro Latinos, Asian Latinos, if you have light skin and you genuinely feel white then you are a white Latino. But a Latino you are and always will be

Yeah I'm curious too, I just hope I'm not being duped into seeding malware

Anti cheat works fine nowadays, I've heard that the only problems are caused by devs/publishers that explicitly don’t allow their games to launch on Linux. e.g. Elden Ring and Apex Legends both use easy anticheat; the former boots just fine on Linux while the latter doesn't work no matter what you do
