This^ - as @[email protected] noted - women and men are good at different things so I don't see why we can't require mixed gender teams with equal representation for pretty much all sports.

And if somebody cries "fOrCeD dIvErSiTy!!" then you never really cared about women's participation in sports anyways.

I mean it sure would do more than pretending it's not happening - but I get it - most Germans preferred to pretend they couldn't smell the smoke either.

And again you don't even have to risk your own safety by protesting - you could at least join a local community organizing group to help people most affected.

I'm sure you may think one person can't make a difference but I can guarantee that even a single person more that's helping out with mutual aid would be met with appreciation anywhere. Still good on you for financing charities - that is usually the very first step.

Also this isn't a sprint - it's a marathon - expecting protests now to have any immediate impact is just setting you up for failure - these fights have been fought for generations - so lock in and get ready to resist not just these 4 but the next 40 years.

And sorry if this feels overwhelming and you don't think you have the capacity - but even doing 1 day of volunteering a month is a good starting point.

Why try to do anything so this doesn't happen when it's easier to dig your head in the sand 🙃

Doesn't providing nuance counter the homogeneity? Also what's the alternative? Algorithmically promotes content? But those create even more of an echo chamber as you only see what the algo thinks you'll personally engage with.

I guess meeting in person might be better - but even then your neighborhood is probably rather classist so idk how much you'd end up not in an echo chamber either :/

How come it's always nazi apologists with these takes..

Ok big brain - who's gonna provide those social benefits in a country with an aging population and no immigration?

This sounds like the whole Brexit thing where folk voted to keep immigrants out and were then shocked when social services went even more to shit when they realized half of NHS staff were foreigners...

If you were arguing to solve global inequality and climate change by dismantling western imperialism and by radically reducing their material consumption so that people didn't need to emigrate - then we would agree - but your current stance just sounds like social security for me but not for thee..

This is peak neo-fascist dystopia and it reveals the true nature of anti-immigration policy of humiliation and alienation.

The human rights and dignity violations, be it done with chains and cameras or with campaigns and administrative hearings - share the same hateful roots.

Don't let this shift the overton window such that "civil immigration measures" become acceptable - push back on it now before it becomes the new normal.

My main issue with organic maps is the lack of public transit routing. There seems to be a way to use GTFS - but you have to manually download the data and build the app..

Long term there might be a way - but unfortunately not ready yet

Edit: I found OsmAnd that has public transit routing 🙌

Sure maybe they came off a bit snobby but I still don't necessarily agree with your stance either - veganism isn't "all about eating" - it's a moral framework that rejects animal commodification - like my earlier example of not wearing leather or going to the zoo.

This extends to all sort of stuff - having pets, keeping bees, sheering sheep, testing on animals, etc.

Just as Islam is "more than diet choices," veganism is far more than just a diet. The dairy farmer's use of "vegan" would be like the pig farmer's use of "Muslim" - both incorrectly reduce comprehensive philosophical/ethical frameworks to just their dietary components.

But yeah w/e sometimes it's easier to use the wrong term to convey an idea - which is why I still appreciate @[email protected]'s effort to clarify that here so other people can learn as well.

Tho I see we can continue this argument forever so I'm gonna dip out as I've got other stuff to get on with.

But even in the Far East it is known that the AfD and BSW will only indirectly influence Germany's future international positions. The SPD is seen as open to stronger economic relations, while the CDU and especially the Greens are seen as hostile. Interestingly, the Chinese party press describes the Greens as "ultra-right".
