My knees get really sore and stiff sitting bent for a long time, I need to stand up when I can. I’m not in a rush to get off the plane 95% of the time (unless late for a tight connection obviously) but I can see how it’d look like that.
Yeah, it is also just a philosophy word. But antisemites use it to refer to “dialectical materialism”, which is a real term for Marxist philosophy, but by which they mean “cultural Marxism”, a thing they made up by which they in turn mean “the Jews are going to impose communism on us through psyops that convince us it is good, so we have to exterminate them.”
Basically, like much of their coded language, it is a reference to a conspiracy theory.
I don’t think that’s right, context matters. It spreads when it is shared uncritically and people come across it in a context where they don’t have their guard up. I believe it is preventative, to some extent, the other way around, when it is shared in a context ripping it to shreds.
People will come across antisemitism in the wild, and it is important that they learn to recognise it. This quote is pretty extreme, but it is important that people know that antisemites use words like e.g. “dialectical” as a dog whistle. The next time they hear someone say something about it when one of their facebook friends share something they might notice that they talk about “Hollywood elites” or whatever in the same way.
Without a good understanding of how antisemitism works we are all susceptible.
In a just world it would be, but the consequence of being labelled and perceived as a “natural leader” is that one can get away with shirking their responsibility, avoiding sacrifice, and abusing their position without much repercussion.
Wrong, this is something almost universally acknowledged in feminist circles.
Because it still puts men on top in most ways, even while it hurts them too.
And it definitely applies to all western societies.
You can see it in this very story. “Men are strong, they don’t need help. Women are weak and emotional, that’s why they need support.” Yeah, it’s devastating for men in this situation, but it’s the same logic which makes people say men are natural leaders or whatever.
Correction: they have spent some fraction of 73M on propaganda, and likely embezzled the rest.

I used to have a similar stereotype about (white) South Africans who I met in my country. However, after having spent some time there recently I can say that South Africans (of all ethnicities) are absolutely lovely people. I was really impressed with what an integrated and truly multicultural society they have less than thirty years after the end of apartheid. I realise there are still big problems but it left a big impact nonetheless.
My hypothesis is that all the shittiest people left when apartheid was ending because they didn’t like black people having human rights, and fled to majority-white countries.
There is, but they all come under the umbrella of polyamory. There’s lots of sub categories like “parallel” (where someone’s partners don’t have much or any contact with each other), “kitchen table” where they’re not in a relationship but do talk a lot about scheduling etc, might be friends, and then where everyone is in the same relationship or has independent relationships between everyone in a group. But lots of people use lots of different terms for those things.
Then your understanding of these terms is wrong. Polyamory refers to people having multiple relationships (consensually), that’s it.
Yes, Germany might be the only western country worse than Australia

Funny, I can easily do that and assumed everyone could
Oh, they’re on the menu in gibberish too, I see. Sounds fun.
Why would you ever choose a coffee mug and a knife as your dish and utensil? That doesn’t work for any food… And a deep plate/wide bowl + fork would work for basically everything.
Very interesting, but I really struggle to believe that the diets of Germany and the Netherlands are that different, having lived in both of them.
That’s got very little to do with my comment. Obviously, you (as in you personally) can eat whatever you please, but if you make biological claims about it you ought to back them up with evidence.
What does “as intended” mean? You mention bread and pasta in an earlier comment; do you understand that flour is also a processed ingredient? And that baking is a means of processing food? Oil can be as simple as just being squeezed out of whole seeds or fruit, that’s no more processing than grinding, cooking, or peeling something.
I thought this was the most common opinion
