  • Wouldn’t this just mean no one’s a male or a female. I get that we develop female characteristics first in utero, then go to male if the y chromosome is there in most situations, but thats later on. At conception, the only cells you’re producing are undifferentiated stem cells, not reproductive cells.

    So trump just abolished gender?









  • In the whole of human history no older generation has ever been correct regarding what the upcoming generation should or should not do

    I may not be a scientist but I know enough about history that any statement that says “in the whole of human history…” and doesn’t finish with death or taxes is bullshit.

    Was the older generation wrong when they told there kids not to do crack when it started becoming popular in the 80s? granted I’m pretty against the war on drugs but even if we do fully legalize we should still keep it away from kids because:

    1. It can be addictive and addiction and developing brains aren’t a good combination.
    2. It is a major decision with positives and negatives that a child can’t fully understand

    Both of those are true , albeit to a far lesser extent, for social media.




  • Again your assuming that the Lebanese blame hezbollah for that fallout, and not the ones actually causing it. This is a classic imperial tactic of framing the ones fighting the system as troublemakers and blaming all the destruction the empire does in the name of repression on them. The Viet cong are the reason for us napalming children, if they weren’t here we wouldn’t have to do that. This can work on people sympathetic to the imperial project, but people who are less sympathetic think the empire is the trouble maker and the cause for the destruction, so anyone fighting them must be good.

    Think, if trump went full dictator, and then antifa blew up an ICEstapo building and then trump started bombing Portland in retaliation, would you think this is all antifas fault like fox News would be pushing. Or would you think antifas a bit extreme but trump is a tyrant who is killing way more people who i am sympathetic to.

    The sympathy for Israel among Lebanese and especially among shia is near 0, so if they’re looking for someone to blame it’s gonna be them.








  • Any exclusionary conformist society can look good on the surface if you ignore the people outside the dominant class. The 50s in America looks idyllic if you ignore black people, women who didnt want to be housewives, leftists etc. Same with barbie world, if you arent a hyper femme straight cis women you probably wouldn’t have a good time there. That was sort of the message of the movie too, if you don’t make your society open to different people or ways of life it will build resentment that can lead to the fall of the society
