Social contact as a finn? My condolences, hope you can recover 🫂
Gender is a spectrum, but trans just means not cis, with cis meaning identifying with your assigned at birth gender.
language is objective
no
People don’t agree what sentences and words mean all the time. Every single linguist on earth disagrees with you
I think they are cooking it to eat it because it’s cheap
I think what they need is mods that live in other timezones
Kartoffel. Why is his hand mirrored? Is this the true power of the habsburg royal family?
Really? I can view posts with catbox images and have a recent post with a catbox image that other people could see :/ I remember reading some countries dislike catbox.moe so perhaps your DNS blocks them? Could you try temporarily switching to another DNS to see what happens?

Catbox.moe works pretty well, is free, not being monetized, and otherwise just really handy!
You can find the torrents on the project website, and then you use something like deluge to actually download the files.
Both please <3
Ah, I see! I was only disagreeing with the inclusion of authoritarian socialism, which in my mind is an oxymoron.
Democracy can take many shapes and I would argue anarchy must always be democratic as well, even if it is way more democratic than current systems.
Socialism doesn’t dictate a government structure
I disagree! Socialism by definition requires the people to own their own homes and the places where they work, which is difficult in a government not run by the people. Socialism must be democratic, anything else is just red fascism.
it can be via an authoritarian state that (claims to) represent the worker.
I may have been hasty, seems you agree! But I would like to stress that any government which claims to be socialist but makes unions illegal and enforces capitalism and private property shouldn’t really get to call itself socialist or communist. They’re just state capitalist oligarchies.
Norway is also capitalistic, but everyone is rich there. It’s pretty good here, but not that good.
Wage inequality is way lower here in Norway than in most of the world, but it’s unfortunately on the rise, in addition to right wing politics becoming increasingly prevalent. Things are good here because inequality was always low, and therefore unions could “win”, unlike in the US where unions were successfully opposed by powerful corporations.
Norway is slowly becoming worse, but way slower than the rest of the world because unions and the welfare state stops foreign and domestic companies from exploiting us as much as they want to.
Not in this meme, but in the original. It implies that equality is not a good thing because surely the people calling for it haven’t taken into account that everyone is different and has different needs. It shows equity as being the same situation but tailored for everyone’s needs, and justice as being the same situation but with whatever created the inequality in the first place as having been removed.
My issue is that people don’t use these words in this way, the people calling for equality always want to provide according to peoples needs, and to remove the things causing inequality.
I really really hate the original version of this meme. No one uses equality, equity, and justice to mean the things the meme implies >:|
True magic
I mean you could be a socialist. We have mainstream socialist parties here in Norway and that’s certainly some ways away. But yeah, I was trying to be charitable since the point was to explain how it can be used as an insult rather than anything else :P
You should read about who the luddites actually were. They were not opposed to technology, but to poor wages, low quality goods, and workers being replaced. Capitalists destroyed their reputation with propoganda.
