US government for 1 dollar? Count me in

Uhh, I don't think ancient roman is a good example, unless barbarism, constant expansionism, slavery and patriarchy is your thing, and I'm skipping over a lot of other fucked up shit like forced sex based on status quo. While their culture was indeed rich, they were far from being an example country.

EDIT: Even carthage, the country rome destroyed, would be a better example.

Still looking for a single leftist here who claims they support communism. I constantly see it being attributed to the left, but in real life scenarios I just don't see it, only in memes, unless you meant socialism, which is a healthy system of every country, including US.

EDIT: I guess I should stop waiting, this feels like strawman argument/gatekeeping

I'm sorry, but I have to block you as you are incapable of a two-way communication, but only blind rage.

Please, for the love of god, ask some people next to you to read that and explain to you how they understand that comparison, because you obviously are incapable of basic comprehension skills.

Shit, this is not something I like to do, but here is ChatGPT interpreting it: https://chatgpt.com/share/688aa17d-0d04-8010-81ac-043d1e73688f

"women are like islamophobes and men are like muslims" are you fucking serious right now bro?

Yeah, after another strawman argument, I'm not even going to bother reading rest of your comment. Stop coming up with non-existing arguments and then attribute them to me somehow saying it. I literally have no clue how you managed to hallucinate your way into whatever you just vomitted out.

EDIT: My comment was also quite clear about the fact, that this is not gender specific issue, but social issue.

Atheism is not a religion, therefore you get no rights or tax exemptions

I get what you mean, but my point was more about the fact that they're not mentally healthy places and I have a strong suspicion they're filled with people who have been traumatized or forced into hating the other gender, often for good reasons. Lemmy is completely gender neutral to me, I never know anyone's gender and don't think about it. If you don't have a good pre-existing condition/reason to be there, then you, a mentally healthy person, will start developing hate and similarly traumatized mentality towards the other gender.

It's like not knowing what Islam is, and suddenly joining IS-hating subreddit and then revolving your islam knowledge around isis. See the problem?

anything that excludes you is a "echo chamber circlejerk"?

This is such a shallow and stupid way of thinking. Was this your best strawman argument?

You should do some introspection and double-check if this is a mentality you want to live your life by.

I do. I generally look at groups who disregard or make fun of others purely based on race or gender as not mentally healthy places to be in, like incel subreddits.

The formula tends to also be quite simple - take something a man/woman says, then find a funny counter-argument in the thread, screenshot the two together and you got a post. Does not matter which gender we're talking about, it's pretty much always the same. Some reddit subreddits were borderline extremist in this approach, showing signs of aggression or calls for violence towards women.

What's the context for these protests? I'm out of loop, what dis UCLA do to deserve such protests and unrest?

Is Australia speedrunning into CCP ideology? Constantly weird laws, and recent porn ban on steam/itch also came because of Australian group.
