Interesting, so either the democrat base leans toward the left and socialism, or the US gets straight up fascism... I would be REALLY scared as an american right now.
Also,
@Uncle Van can you bring back Toby please ? I find it scandaleous that the guy gets banned for being overally disrespectfull while people like Herrera, Ravager are actively deny a genocide and vomiting horrible stuff without consequences. Please, don't make the error to think that being disrespectful and being problematic are equal. Bring the guy back.
We can start by destroying the system that pushes those people to do this. People do not rape because they are ill or sick or bad per essence, they rape because they can. It's a form of assertion of domination that comes from patriarcal educations and values. As such, we need to deconstruct the patriarcal system all everywhere to break the circle and momentum of violence.
In this metaphore, this means breaking the links between dancers all at the same. Not only by changing the educations of men, but also completely changing the institutions that pushes us to have these educations, the system, in it's ensemble. Breaking one link is not enough, breaking two also, we must destroy the momentum of the entire thing.
Indeed. And that's why we must not see people as beast, but the result of our systems. Of course it's useless to say "well, if I'm against patriarchy then I won't help you come back home at night if you are alone", of course I help. But I'll keep in mind that this is an individualized solution, and that "deconstructing people" or potential rapist is not enough. We must look at the entire system.
Not always yes, but it's sadly systemic. That's pretty much a norm. And it's just one of thousand exemple showing you that patriarchy is not something that is only related to powerfull people, but to all strat of populations. And patriarchy is just one circle of domination, there are many more. And once we look at them correctly, we can imagine new solutions to counter them.
Let me give you a way to visualize information spreading: "Incel 1" > "Less Incel" who listen to Incel 1 > "Not really incel" who is close to "less incel" > "Not incel" who listens to "not really incel" > "random person" who listens to "not incel" > "Random popular" person who listen to "random person" > "Your friend" who listens to "random popular". Again, this video is important:
While a bit basic, these explanations allow us to understand how such a thing as an incel rethoric can spread rapidly. Basically, you may not be an incel, but if you were on the side of "Amber Heard is a lyer and a cheat" you probably fall for incel rethoric as the situation was actually much more nuanced. Depp is an abuser and while heard was not perfect and did abuse, she was his victim first.
To be honest, this is really scary. When a fascist can tell you in the eyes and in front of camera that you can call him a fascist and with a smile... It means that he knows he can do anything he wants... Scary stuff.
Wait he wasn't in jail already?
