That’s a super good point!!

Those countries also have semi-planned economies

I don’t disagree at all, Information has always been out there for those who seek it out, the problem lies within capitalism, which only values education that has been paid for.

Often jobs will require a degree and experience, even trades that you say require informal training often require some sort of red seal or at least have an apprenticeship program.

You can get that education however you like, but its a bit more difficult to find an employer in a labour flooded market that is willing to let you prove your knowledge if you don’t have the recognition to back it up.

The education isn’t any less fruitful, but it is just valued less by the ruling class simply because it didn’t require money.

I would argue that primarily youre paying for the recognition of your education, as in your diploma, which is often what employers look at.

Capitalism

Capitalism. Always.

So, not allowing children to literally put everyone on a plane at risk is antisemitism now? Jfc.

Exactly

I don’t know if this is really censorship in that way. Like yeah don’t hide the genocide, hide the denial, because it doesn’t deserve a platform. Holocaust denial has no basis in reality, especially considering it’s one of the most well documented genocides of all time.

Don’t censor history, teach the children about all the bad shit humans have done.

I wasn’t arguing with you, you misunderstood my point. I was just adding onto what you said.

My point being: when we start to try to apply moral “code” to something as personal and nuanced as abortion, people always suffer because it’s so personal and nuanced.

I am agreeing with you, it should be nobodys decision but the woman, because every woman’s situation (CONTEXT) is different, so there’s literally no way to apply some kind of blanket morality to abortions.

The reason a woman might want one can change based on so many factors, so trying to dictate that women should only be able to get one when they’re needed requires defining situations where they’re needed, the thing is, though, if an abortion is wanted, then it is needed.

I am agreeing with you.

Basically, it’s contextual and should be treated on a case by case basis, and that is why it must be legal for all, because these cases cannot be effectively foreseen.

He has a trans daughter that fuckin hates him, I dont think it’s fair to kill the kids who had no choice in the matter, maybe the rest of them will hate him too.

Aight dude

I definitely saw several comments that strike me as political, which is exactly my point, everyone has a different definition.

When every aspect of your life is affected by politics, everything is political.

100%

Internet by the people, and for the people, truly.

The problem is politics impacts everything and the word “political” means different things to different people.

To some, talking about being gay is political, even though to people who are in that community, it’s literally just talking about their lives.

If you allow wolves and sheep into a space, that is a wolves-only space.

(For context, I agree with you.)

Sure, if you think of it as purely semantic, or a zero sum game with no nuance, but it’s not.

Gotta be intolerant of those being needlessly cruel to those just trying to live their lives, and gotta be tolerant of those just trying to live their lives that don’t affect you, even if you find it cringey.

I’ve noticed most discussions i have here end with a LOT less anger and a LOT more learning and that makes me happy.

FUCK
