  • What the fuck?! This shit with tiltok is one of the ugliest imperialist shit the USA pulled this century, dropping the rule of trade to the full on empire mode, and you’re talking here about whataboutism?

    We have a country literally stealing a company because it’s profitable and can spread influence! And you’re here like “China bad”?

    Is this the strategy? Anytime something bad from the US comes up you deflect for it to be about China I guess?






  • Everything can be. But for the largest majority of people, eating is normal, eventhough it can seem to have some aspects of an addiction.

    And the most important part here is that even if you somehow get addicted to food, you cannot simply stop eating. Because you need to eat for your survival. It’s a biological need.

    That’s the point of the example : showing that something you can’t stop doing is not necessarily a bad thing. The details are very important when it comes to addiction.

    And video games are unfortunately victim of propaganda when it comes to their dangers.


  • An addiction is defined by two things : first, it has negative effects on your life. Second, trying to stop it makes you miserable.

    Food for example is not an addiction, it’s a biological need. The need for socialisation is another one.

    Video games can be an addiction. But I’d argue that they’re usually not, they usually a coping mechanism. When they are, the problem is elsewhere, and the video games are helping you to survive through the problem.






  • We’re talking about history where mysoginy left a big footprint because it was made by men that incapable of thinking that women could be more than what they were in their time.

    Exactly like today. You’re asking why it matters whether it was a man or a woman, yet this whole conversation sparked because someone said that it could be a woman.

    That’s conservatism for you.


  • you talked about enemity first, remember? you have this view of a fight, and that anyone who dare say that a woman did something and not a man, is fighting men.

    You have a very defensive position. Which means you feal attacked. You say it directly when you talk about “enemy”.

    You are the problem my friend. Your first comment is aa problem. And the support it receives is concerning and scary.


  • You are ignorant of recent history then.

    Men did do their best to segregate women in the 18th and 19th century. And they succeeded. Even in the language.

    Women fighting for women to be recognized in history is an important fight for women to be respected and recognized for their doing, because even now they aren’t.

    And I’m not saying it’s an all men problem. It’s a society problem.
