The real rich don’t pay any income tax tho? Not sure what you mean. Sure the high-income developers and engineers and lawyers etc. would become a richer, but they are not the rich, are they? The owners of the businesses they work at are. And they don’t pay income taxes.
From what I remember, what actually happened was there was a very shit racist meme circling around around when Obama was the president, and he had visited China and was acting “friendly” with Xi.
In any case, the meme was basically Xi as Pooh and Obama as Tigger. Because of racism.
The meme was banned because of the Obama Tigger thing. That was the big deal. Not Xi as Pooh.

From the title it might not sound super related, but she goes super in depth on how these intelligence researches usually are extremely problematic. As in literally telling women that women did better in these tests made them perform as well or better than men in typically “male intelligence areas”. We don’t really understand intelligence, and how it develops, and how to measure it.
So ascribing higher or lower intelligence in certain fields to certain groups just doesn’t work. Irregardless for how statistically sound it might be. We just don’t understand the parameters around it well enough to control for it.
After seeing the most recent münecat video I don’t believe research like this anymore.
“Contrary to other parties of the left, MORENA has not sought to reduce inequality by increasing taxes on the wealthy. Instead, the party has focused on reducing the pay gap between lower-level employees and high-level government workers salaries, such as politicians and judges through austerity measures. The party announced support for a plan by López Obrador to cut salaries of higher-ranking public officials (including the President), lay off up to 70 percent of non-unionized federal workers, and reduce spending by cracking down on corruption and tax fraud. As Article 94 of the Mexican Constitution prohibits reducing the salary of judges at any time during their appointment in order to maintain judicial independence, judges on the Supreme Court took a 25% pay cut starting in 2019.”

Yeah we made a huge mistake being born wrong 😕
That does make intuitive sense, but archeology shows otherwise. There was a much bigger diversity of gender roles and relationship structures/child rearing systems, including in agricultural societies.
The modern almost universal ideal of romantic monogamous nuclear relationships was born from romantic (as in the movement) puritan petit bourgeois ideals in the 19th century.
Working class women during the medieval age for example, worked and lived outside the home, had affairs etc. This changed around the 18th century with the hegemony of the bourgeoisie and working class mirroring of their ideals.
Basically while it’s true that patriarchal strictly dichotomous societies existed for as long as we can tell, And that they have prevailed and “won out”. But doesn’t mean they are the norm for humanity. Their universality is extremely recent.
Just a small correction: most people look at relationships in terms of some very rigid ideals that were set a couple centuries ago at most.
Lenin belongs to all of us comrade. We all bear responsibility for his memory. For his sacrifice.
It very much is! Wallsocket is more… perfectly produced, like meticulously produced, but Fishmonger is still amazing and extremely well produced.
Never seen that take. I think removing a neolib sticker from a Lenin statue is always good praxis.
Just play as Sweden to get the hang of things 🤷♂️
By far my favourite album of last year. And it was a good year for music!
Oh shit so they’re saying something works?? Guys, we should do more of this terrorism thing! They say it works!
It’s not. It’s about the real implications it might have, such as for eugenics and genetically enhanced soldiers. But it also does talk a lot about the real good it does and can do. But the main points are about those two topics. That like with every technology, the issue is the social and political structures around their use. And also how eugenics never really went away. In many ways it’s using CRISPR to start a conversation about eugenics tbh.
You don’t know what you are talking about lmao
The Why Files is one of the best YouTube channels out there. They talk about fringe and conspiracy subjects but debunk them. You didn’t even watch the video and you are just making a BUNCH of assumptions that have nothing to do with it.
They elected Zelensky then immediately outlawed all communist parties, outlawed protesting, outlawed strikes, postponed elections… real democracy vibes.
There is a new instance that recently federated with some (many big) lemmy instances called Hexbear. They were on a forked version of lemmy with some updates, such as custom emojis. I’ve subscribed to some of their communities, and noticed the custom emojis don’t work and kinda break the posts/comments. I understand this is not very high-priority, but Hexbear is pretty large. So it might be good to fix this idk 🤷♂️
