> The reality is - it's just a vestige of sexual discrimination that you refuse to let go of.

Yeah that is exactly what is batshit crazy. You have done 0 study on this subject but you feel confident that parroting standard excuses must be making you truthful.

Here is an exercise - pick a year, or all the years - and pick a athletic sport - running, swimming etc. any. Then compare the records for women's and men's competition. You can pick any format. Now make any of that variable, keep rest of the picks constant and draw the records on a scatter plot.

Then tell me it is a vestige of sexual discrimination.

And to people saying this is such a small issue affecting maybe dozen people - apparently it was large enough to get Trump elected. Congratulations. You are a sly asshole, Trump is loud mouthed. That's all. As a non-white person your objectives are currently better aligned to me and that is all you care about. You are just as transactional as him.

Ah yes, the quintessential western urge to call everyone else a savage.

And to paper over lack of understanding with "superior" bookish definitions. That's not even just west, it is inherent to all abrahamic cultures to be honest,

Do you think everyone in venezuela is constantly standing in front of government office to buy clothes? Or do you think they are being distributed clothes as part of socialism. Or maybe they actually have shops and grocery stores? In Sweden you can apply for funding from government in return of equity, that's not the ownership of means of production?

I have already said that Sweden is closer to what Marx envisioned. So let me repeat - Venezuela's high margin business is owned by government because only government is allowed to have monopoly on violence. Venezuela's government is owned by violent thugs. I already told you why it is the case in Venezuela and not in Sweden. Or most rich western countries. The only reason this is brought up is because you do not want to acknowledge that the nice things in your life are only their because someone in your lineage supported looting pillaging and genociding. Instead we have constant regurgitating of hot garbage in the name of intellectualism.

It is not civilized to disagree with facts.

But what is socialism? What you describe as free-market policies of Sweden is much closer to what Marx wanted than what Venezuela has. So why is it that Sweden is free-market and Venezuela is socialism?

I will tell you why. Because socialism is an euphemism for what you don't like. Much like Nazism as a term. They don't have any meaning, your discourse just likes to throw around meaningless words to sound smart and keep arguing in circles.

The difference in Venezuela and Sweden is not socialism. It is corruption. Sweden has not been at war for a long time, hasn't seen economic hardships in long time and hasn't experienced cultural anxiety in a long time. They benefit from deep rooted connections to old-money by being an refuge for Jews when they were hunted in UK and then having free access to USA by creating colonies and later having visa-free travel (because they were white).

Venezuela is a colonized country where constant political meddling, being extremely poor, having sanctions and having revolutions - each of which lead to corruption. And unlike French, they couldn't outsource their misery and corruption to other people who were "different". What has socialism got to do with it? Nothing. There is no comparison between sustained wealth and long term poverty.

I have read 3 of your comments in thei thread and deflecting attention for a pedo is not only tiring, accusing "tech bros" of deflecting from and normalizing infedility in the same breadth is pretty telling.

Are you sure you are not jealous that you couldn't cheat your wife with an underage?

Solar panels are cheap because of China, not because of "development effort" of the "decades-long research" done by rich nations. You are taking like that research was given for free and is not riddled with patents designed to make more money that it cost to make them, designed to make the rich nations richer.

This kind of stories always bring about the most bottom scrapping idiots who have zero critical thinking and ability to self-reflect right to the forefront. Each 1 positively modded comment is regurgitating outright lies like no one has ever actually looked at them and realized it is bullshit.

China makes solar cheaper. Not the west.

China makes it cheaper because it can - it has invested in being able to be cheapest.

China makes solar panel because that is what the "researchers" of the rich countries want.

All great but pollution in Delhi is not because of vehicles, it is because of wanton burning of stubbles in neighboring state which has direct hotline to Greta and Trudeau, so any laws curbing their behavior gets reported in the western media as an attack on farmers and/or minority .

I am surprised at all the people debating on unrealistic points, to be honest.

Let's call it what it is - cancelling.

Would you be quite if the CEO was hanging out with Osama bin Laden or would you go out of your way to have your voice heard? What if CEO was hanging out with someone who raped your friend? A reasonable person would chose the latter. This is called non-cooperation and is legitimate form of protest, first put to use by Gandhi. So there is that for the morality/ethicality/dont-bring-politics-to-work theories.

Let us face the fact - faggots infiltrated Firefox and skewed its workforce away from an unbiased sample of the population. That's the hard cold fact. Mr. Eich failed to see that and suffered because of it. May be he thought others won't see it or whatever reason he thought will save him from being cancelled - ultimately doesn't matter. What happened was bound to happen.

The only question is why Firefox team is more concerned with maintaining their skewed-on-a-normal-distribution workforce instead of creating a better product?

In defense of "incels", AC has is an old series of video games that markets itself to children as being historically accurate on events and having a fictional story around them.

People who actually played Assassin's Creed i their childhood recognize its impact on impressionable minds of children because they were themselves once a child.

It is disingenuous to say "it's just a video game" and abuse the gamers who have grown up and find that what they remember as a child was actually a bunch of horsehsit.
