We’re fighting fascism buddy…

I meant in general that is what’s happening in 2015…

based on your personal, ever changing, in-group language.

Again, this isn’t a personal opinion, there have been multiple academic studies showing the effect language choices like this on thinking since the 1980s at least.

It’s not “ever changing” but if 40 some years is too fast for you, lots of conservatives feel the same.

I just don’t spend a lot of time interacting with someone who views a personal inconvenience like this apparently is as such a big deal and worth hurting others.

But again, lots of conservatives do. MAGA 100% agrees with you, and regretably there’s a lot of them these days.

So I’ll leave you free to talk with the people you agree with.

You’re arguing about word choices and message

Because that effects how people think and treat others…

This isn’t just my opinion, this has been studied extensively, not just for word choice within one language but how different languages cause people to think differently.

I thought you just weren’t aware, but I provided a couple sources and you’re getting angry and still wanting to aide with the fascists on the right…

That kind of only leaves one reason for why you’re still denying science…

So something like “begging person” or “beggarly person”?

Why are you so insistent to use “beg”?

“Someone asking for donations” maintains their dignity and communicates the point clearly…

Personally, if you called me a German, a furry or a vegetarian, I wouldn’t mind, even though none of these attributes encompass my entire existence.

Ok…

But we don’t call people what we would like to be called, we don’t set the minimum of respect for everyone else

If didn’t have a home, job, or food, you might be less willing to be dehumanized.

The privileged are usually the least sensitive to that.

Like, I’m 6’4", if someone that’s 6’6" walked up and said “Hey shorty, what’s up”. I won’t give a single fuck.

If I was a 5’2" man, I might be offended, and if I said a 5’2 man had to be ok with it because I was, I’d be a jackass.

That’s literally preschool level empathy, and it’s depressing so many people here never learned that

So…

Not only do you view dehumanizing language as “no big deal” you’re actively choosing to spend your free time online to argue with people about how we shouldn’t put any effort into it.

Like…

Are you just ignorant on how language changes thinking? Or do you understand how serious this is and just deciding to side with the fascists on this (and probably other) topics?

https://studyfinds.org/language-influences-reality/

Like. This should be “common sense” but there’s been studies on it for decades.

Do you really not understand how word choices effect a message?

…

We’re fighting fascism buddy…

If someone saying it’s better to use adjectives than nouns is enough for you to want to meet in the middle with fascists, it sounds to me you were looking for an excuse to tell people to get closer to fascism

Go on… what is the newer term?

Using adjectives to describe an aspect of a person instead of a noun to reduce them to a single aspect…

Use adjectives to describe people, not nouns to label them…

Super basic, and applies to almost ever scenario.

It’s about not reducing someone to one attribute, and it’s been around for like a decade at least in western society.

Anyone got any thoughts about this?

Calling them “beggers” is shitty and outdated…

And with you saying the people who help others only do it for religious reasons…

It makes me think you should be saying what geographic area you’re in when asking these questions, because it just doesn’t sound like any western country.

All this stuff might be normal where you’re from, but not where most Lemmy users are.

Or maybe there’s another reason you keep using terms that are outdated in Europe/Canada/America?

Am I wrong here?

Yeah…

India is a huge multicultural area that is only unified because the Brits did it…

The majority religion/language/culture is led by Modi who is a full on fascist trying to “erase” everyone who is different. And his actions often meet the definition of genocide.

It’s not as bad as Gaza right now. But lots of people care.

Two words about furniture:

Killing machines

Nah, they got a point:

, but the skills, and knowledge of how to make things.

Apple spent billions training Chinese workers how to do highly skilled manufacturing work for pennies and shitty hours with huge turnover rates. Remember the days of suicide nets in factories where the workers lived?

Apple viewed them as a disposible work force, they viewed it as job training.

They wash out, then get jobs doing the same things “the Apple method” for more pay and better conditions for a Chinese company.

Still not great pay, still not great conditions, but there’s an incentive there to work for a local company instead of Apple.

Over decades this has led to today where even if we tank our manufacturing away, that just makes manufacturing Chinese competitors even cheaper.

It has nothing to do with discoveries, it’s about a trained workforce with the infrastructure in place for them to work and a supply of the rare earth materials they need.

Superman fighting the klan didn’t work because adults laughed at their hand signs and shit that were disclosed…

It’s because it got a generation of kids to see the klan as the bad guys

If Superman hated you, how the fuck were you going to indoctrinate your kid into the klan?

That’s why they’re always bitching about media. The people doing it are ignorant, but the ones telling them what to be mad about it are picking logical targets to fufil longterm goals.

It’s why fighting fascism is like losing weight, you can’t reach a goal and stop giving a fuck, it’s a lifestyle.

The way they’re up sizing there’ll be a lot of “slide” positions

Where each year you jump two levels, so 5, 7, 9 decent money

The advantage to taking the short term pay cut used to be stability, but that shits gone now

Showerexistentialdreads

which assesses modern science’s ability to detect evidence of a prior advanced civilization,

We can’t, we know we can’t.

It doesn’t even take lizard people millions of years ago.

Past 50k years is a blank spot. Anatomically modern humans have been around for at least 300k years.

They say it took the ice age ending so we could have agriculture, but that ignores we had 3-4 ice age cycles before the last one where humans were running around. Plenty of time for agriculture each cycle.

Even then, during the last ice age the Sarah desert was a lush rain forest the entire time.

The modern timeline is very Euro-centric, which is an incredibly naive view considering the glaceriers from an ice age are basically a giant bulldozer that erases everything. It plows down mountains. Obviously we won’t find any evidence there, it keeps getting erased every ice age.

And the places around the equater that would have fostered large settlements, are under the ocean due to those glaciers melting.

Just like with everything else, it’s incredibly ignorant to think we know everything and there’s no missing pieces of the puzzle

As a violent psychopath once said:

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

would remain in five or six million years if we all just vanish?

Literally nothing…

10-20k years left and the only thing left would be like Mount Rushmore and other giant stone monuments.

At 5-6 million years it would only be the layer of plastic in landfills from before bacteria evolved to break it down and nuclear test sites if the future society does isotope testing there. Both things that have much more logical explanations than an ancient civilization with no other evidence.

In an actual free market all the corporations would act like this, because shit like this is what people want out of a business they patronize.

You will recall that there was a bit of a fuss a month or so ago when an undoubtedly-harried GameStop employee stapled some customer receipts directly to Nintendo Switch 2 boxes—and through the boxes, and into the Switch 2 units themselves. It was all quickly resolved, without lawsuits or fistfights, and with the ugliness now behind it GameStop is looking to make some proverbial lemonade by auctioning off the Switch 2 killer for charity.

No lawsuits, no fight required by affected consumers

The company made it right and turned a bad situation into a PR move that helps a charity.

I really thought we’d see some kind of ethical capitalism out of the whole GameStop thing but it never really spread.

The timing of the memo is sensitive, coming before key elections in the Netherlands, Czech Republic, and possibly France. It also references recent elections in Poland and Romania.

Critics fear the memo signals U.S. support for far-right candidates and could encourage political interference in European elections.

They’re 100% going to meddle in elections, that’s a bipartisan issue:

Speaking to the Jewish Press about the January 25, 2006, election for the second Palestinian Legislative Council (the legislature of the Palestinian National Authority), Clinton weighed in about the result, which was a resounding victory for Hamas (74 seats) over the U.S.-preferred Fatah (45 seats).

“I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake,” said Sen. Clinton. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

Seriously, fucking up other people’s election is one of America’s favorite pass times and largest open secrets.

It would be naive to expect trump to be the only president who didn’t do it

Which doesn’t mean it’s ok trump is doing it.

It means we need to be pissed anytime a president does it, not just when it’s trump

The fuck kind of popup is that?

Let them sell IP addresses to 437 different people or pay $5 a week?

If this is a real story I’m sure more reputable places will be picking it up shortly, absolutely no one should agree to that popup.

Quick edit:

No other sources it seems, but here’s msn rehosting the same article without the crazy agreement to sell your IP:
