There are countries where woman cannot choose who they marry. Where woman are beaten, Where woman are not allow outside on their own, where woman earn double digit percentages less than male counterparts... You are seriously saying that 'often' the 'worst' mysoginists are woman in the magazine industry!?
And then claiming others are arguing from ignorance. LOL.
... so you might of (very badly) shown that some woman are mildly mysoginist (if even that)... How do you get "worst mysoginists" and "often" out of that?
Lamest argument ever... Are you suggesting that the majority of postgres (say) installs are running default config with no changes? Or even better, Oracle?
In Australia, they have a similar 'Rememberence Day' as well as a bigger "ANZAC Day".
In the ANZAC instance, they pay respect to all sides of the specific conflicts (Gallipoli being the main one) Australian, British, New Zealand, and Turkish.
I doubt (though don't know for sure) Remembrance day in Britain is not intended for ALL soldiers...
So you have a new name for a communist country... That doesn't change the fact the old one exists still...
So I can say: America isn't a democracy, because it's an oligarchy. (This statement isn't true, but is equivalent to yours).
China achieves it's communism, through state capitalism... Or is that not a true scotsman... I mean communist?
Communism hasn't died, Chinese officials still study Marx and Mao, and it is well and truly part of the Chinese propaganda message. There is still a large picture of Mao hanging in Beijing, and the leaders constantly profess to be Marxists...
But of course, how could I think that communism is still alive!?
State capitalism... you really want to go down the rabbit hole of language semantics.
So it's capitalism where all the money goes to the state, which is the government, which is the people... which is exactly what "communism" is. If you think of a "commune" as a "corporation", then it's almost identical.
I'd be happy to see the arguement, that they are a pretty bad communist state, and they don't allocate their money too well, and they (like every other country) have problems with corruption. But "they are not communist" is just as valid as "the US is not a democracy" (Technically it's kind of true, but it isn't useful as a discussion point).
My point is, Communism is pretty much just as popular as democracy... so saying it's died, is just being ignorant.
Except the largest country (by population) in the world is a product of that line of thinking.. So where is the "internal turmoil brings it down" happening?
> If you guys think that machines are going to decrease our standard of living-- that the separation of (production value)/wages is going to cause poverty
No we don't. We just have to show that the benefits only go to a select few, and the "workers" generally get screwed (as in paid a lot less than their value).
If you accept the above, then relative poverty is rather easy to show (99% vs top 1% etc)...
EDIT: To simplify my point, relative poverty has a massive effect on standard of living.
... you moved the goal posts significantly. We aren't talking about whether the internet has a positive effect on society or the economy.
We are talking about uplifting the poor. Which is more formally known as "increasing social mobility". The internet doesn't do that... Social mobility in the US did not change significantly with the introduction and growth of the internet... what more evidence do you need against your point?
Show me the (at the very least) the correlation between internet access and social mobility.
You may help educate some people, though the data says educational outcome is more correlated with socio-economic status. And education is correlated with social mobility, but now we are two correlative (at best) steps away from the conclusion you are drawing. We've yet to show any causation...
Your outrage of having to explain this, is misplaced. This is not an obvious fact, nor is it backed by any evidence.
You are ignoring severity of misogyny, and instead referring to number of misogynists. Correct?
I'm saying, magazine (female or male) editors are by far not the worst, nor that common, among the TOTAL population of misogynists.
But by all means go and fight the "misogynist female magazine editor" fight... I'm sure it's worthy.
But lay off the ad hominem attacks, they just make you look like a jerk. (See what I did there ;) )
