That was mostly by accident. IMO America’s actions in and around WW2 are better understood as the result of two expanding empires bumping into one another (America and Japan)

Perhaps the ethnic cleansing that started in 1948 had something to do with it.

It’s also funny because he also denounced Hamas’ attack even though resisting a military occupation/blockade is allowed by international law.

I have to think Bernie is smart enough to understand this, but American politics requires countless of these sorts of genuflections from those who want to be taken “seriously” by it. Can’t talk about the Cubann blockade without being all “of course their highly popular democratically elected government is evil, but”, etc etc.

Oh no, don’t leave town. whatever would we do without you beta testing your unworkable hardware on public streets and making the traffic even worse than it was.

AFAIK the ruling about serving same sex couples specifically relates to “compelled speech”, which means it definitely doesn’t apply in this context and Amazon is hoping that right wing courts will expand the ruling (they might).

We can get a computer to tag the birds, answer questions about them, and generate new pictures of them.

I was being glib but yeah shit sucks. There was a long stretch of my life where if something had happened to the bus I took to work I would have been fuuuuuucked.

A guy named Kevin was riding the subway playing his Steam Deck. A true tragedy.

Haven’t used reddit at all in a couple years. There was a point in there where I thought I would go back to it, made an account and curated a feed - but I only used it once before deciding it sucked and stopping.

sometimes idk why i bother

banning cultural appropriation

based

Everybody has limits set on their behavior in society generally, and in schools those limits are often more strict. I also object to the notion that enforced dress on a gendered basis is a “harmless or innocuous” practice.

invoking the UN

lol nerd

I worded it poorly, but my point was that France’s enforcement of a dress code is far less extreme than the cultural intervention in Xinjiang. Furthermore I think that all of the people in this thread who’ve compared it to Native American residential schooling are themselves engaging in genocide denial by way of minimization.

wear shoes and shirt

wear dress that is explicitly designed to dehumanize you

these are the same thing

any visible deviations from the dominant (liberal Christian) culture.

This is an impasse. You look at French culture and see a liberal Christian one, I see a liberal secular one. When Christianity infects schools you don’t get dress codes you get much more overt and disgusting propagandizing, like what’s being pushed in Florida right now.

The kids aren’t being made to attend church on Sunday. They’re being made to be part of a secular society, one that takes its secularism more seriously than many other countries do.

Presumably if a bunch of Mormons or Mennonites or whatever else set up in France and all their kids dressed the same way, the school would step in on that too. Maybe they wouldn’t, but then the problem isn’t the policy it’s biased enforcement.
