Going to join a match against sexual violence today following the rape case in which a rapist saw no punishment because he was 'talanted and likeable'. You just know your country is doing something fucked up if r/news has a better reaction to it than your own country's subreddit.

i had a really really really fucking terrible day, made a mistake that likely cost me my entire year of work if not more.

So the news of the moment in the country right now is about a gynecology student who has been found guilty of the rape of another student during a night out after she got incredibly drunk and couldn't in any way consent.
He has been found guilty, he admitted he was guilty even. What is the problem, you think? Well, he faces no jail time. No criminal record. No exemption from his job (AS A FUCKING GYNECOLOGIST!). Nothing. There are no consequences. Why? Because they judge found him to be an 'extremely talented and caring and nice person who doesn't deserve his life to be ruined'. Read: he is white and from a rich family.
What a way to start the month in which campaigns against sexual violence against women are highlighted.
i will always be distrustful of male gynecologist
And I really don't think anyone will blame you when the government presents an enthusiasm for letting such individuals be above the law.
yea, i mostly distrust them because my most degenerate acquaintances from high school went to study medicine and are specializing in gynecology..
Yeah that'd do it too. It is very unfortunate too that such horrible people specialise in such a domain as there is a global shortage of gyno doctors, hopefully the global precident changes soon
There is also this youtuber who is now exposing him as details about his name (after conviction!!!!!!) are nowhere to be found. This youtuber also exposed the details of the murderers of student Sanda Dia a while back (who didn't get punished either, because rich and white) and he got punished for that. He faces jailtime now for exposing the rapist, effectively getting a heavier punishment.
I am pretty happy about the fact that I taught somebody five days ago of the Palestinians’ Jewish heritage. She had also been under the mistaken impression that they were simply the descendants of some Arab tribe that moved in shortly after the Roman Empire expelled the Jewish population, and when I showed her the reality, she was fascinated.
Funny story about my source of inspiration: out of boredom, I looked into archived /pol/ threads (which I don’t recommend doing, by the way, especially with images turned on) where some antisemites wrote off the Palestinians as being Jewish. Then I did the same thing on X (formerly known as Twitter) and found others doing it, though some users actually brought up the fact in good faith and offered evidence for it. That was what really sparked my interest.
Yeah. This is a really important idea. Pushing back on the narrative that israel is the ancestral homeland of Jewish people destroys the legitimacy of the zionist state. Palestinians are descended primarily from Hebrews that converted from Judaism to Christianity and Islam. While israelis are descended primarily from europeans who converted to Judaism. The lie that Jewish is a race or ethnicity and not a religion is an invention by zionists.
What do you say to my theory that Zionists recognized the largely untreated generational trauma of the Jews that were in the Holocaust and their descendants as something to be weaponized ?
Online debate tribunes are cool as fuck and I love that my organisation has one. I don't have enough energy to contribute to the discussion on a national scale, but it's fantastic to be able to read so many writings from comrades in order to better refine the line both at the base and at the top. Democratic centralism is the best organisational methodology even in the slogan: "freedom of criticism, unity of action".
My mind is stuck on the mafia/mob metaphor for the US (well maybe more just literal than metaphor in some cases) and lately I've been thinking about it in relation to what people call "enshittification". The dynamic where a startup gets some nice "friendly" capital injections to build, build, build and grow, grow, grow, and then eventually there comes a part where the investors want a return and the product gets made more predatory and user-unfriendly in a desperate bid to make it especially profitable.
So it's sorta like "hey, we're here to help" later "we're gonna break your legs if you don't have something to show for it"
But a lot of the leg-breaking gets offloaded to the customer, for whom this dynamic is mostly invisible as a process and they just see the bait of "cool product" without the strings attached; the "get their hooks in you and get you dependent on it before they start trying to extract as much profit from you as possible." And once the customer actually sees it, it's too late, they're already personally attached and have to hurt themselves by leaving or hurt themselves by putting up with it.
And this is just like... most of the US tech world? Shit's sickening.
I see it more as a subsidy, the startup with more capital manages to kill its competition (if any) due to them being subsidized by venture capitalists and can operate with negative margins, and they turn predatory once they have aquired a monopoly share.
You know how they complain about "ccp subsidies", well venture capitalists are pretty much doing exactly that.
Most of that makes sense to me, though I'd think the nature of a socialist government giving a subsidy is going to be pretty different than venture capitalists, since the socialist government will not be wanting to extract value for a minority ruling class. That's where the mafia analogy more comes in for me, is the nature of it not having any kind of intrinsically supportive motive in the capitalist case; there's a "catch" and someone is probably going to suffer at some point to fulfill that. Whereas with the socialist structure subsidy comparison, if there were any "catch", it would be more like "this better bring value to society" or "this better not be trying to bring down our socialist government". So while the impact in a competitive space might be similar, the outcome should be pretty different for the customer / end user / whatever you want to call them.
I'd also say the socialist case is more incidentally competitive, in that it bypasses the problems of capitalist funding precisely because it's willing to do things for the sake of something other than profit (operating at a "loss" isn't necessarily perceived as a "loss"). Versus the capitalist, such behavior can only ever be considered temporarily valuable for the longer term payout.

Any body have a todon.nl invite? I'm on bluesky but I'm so over corporate social media and want to try mastodon.
You can try asking for an account on https://toots.matapacos.dog/, it's an instance run by an hexbear user.
Thanks dude. I got set up. Actually I think this instance might be a better fit anyways. Todon is anti ML? Like wut???
Found this thing called the Tim Dillon podcast, and he's a typical Imperialist conservative. I only clicked his video because I saw him criticiszing the recent deportations of protesting students and honestly made some good points...then he started to clarify that he doesn't buy any of the "gobbledyremoved" about Palestinean land being stolen or colonization, or just thought they were being silly. Just completely undercutting everything he said before. I rememebered that a lot of conservatives will always hate Muslims and indigenous people more than they hate bending the knee to another country.
lol speed streams on China feel like a Yakuza video game
