Once? The only other comment I left was asking what policy change someone was referring to
Alright I get that.. but that’s not a policy change.. maybe seems pedantic but a policy change is a codified change in institutional behavior. That’s quite different from a warning or public signal
I genuinely don’t understand what victory you’re referring to.. much less some monumental victory. Am I missing something?
What policy change are you referring to? I didn’t see any mentioned in the article. Looks like business as usual despite the clear evidence of genocide aided by US weaponry
People are not naturally fair or peaceful> This is subjective, not objective. Of course if you view yourself and others this way you will think outside force is necessary to keep people in line.
Pick one. It’s either an addiction OR a choice
I’ve had similar concerns about myself. I’ve started therapy and found out that I’m suffering from toxic shame - something originating in childhood, developing as you age, and comprehensively modifying behavior in adulthood to include masking, dissociation, lack of emotional connection, inhumanly strong moral guidelines/standards, etc. I’d suggest at least looking up the concept of toxic shame. Also, give yourself some credit and some love; whatever the cause, it’s almost certain that your behavioral patterns were set by forces outside of your control and it sounds like you’ve managed it well
This thread is wild.. is it seriously shocking to people here that Biden campaigners (plurality young people) are upset about his response to the genocide in Gaza?? Yes, obviously we need to vote for him, but it’s crazy that criticism is labeled as astroturfing or attempts to sabotage his chances.
Yeahhh… shit makes it really difficult to follow global national politics
Dumb title - not going to read article. Consumerism didn’t spontaneously generate. It’s an intended outcome. And the implication that “consumers” as a whole are responsible for inequality and climate catastrophe is disgusting.
