  They include the phrase being directed at them within schools or chanted by young boys in classes.

  Young boys are following the misogynist Pied Piper and all the parents are just letting it happen. FFS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has Critical Theory actually achieved?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for answering. The question was in such a primordial state that I had to post it here, since I couldn’t find many of the words. I have now seen that some branches of Critical Theory have been used to design a theoretical deliberative democracy that could be used someday, and not have as many problems as today. There is also work by very new authors to use Critical Theory to answer “What is to be done?”, which I wondered was possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has Critical Theory actually achieved?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, has it solved global conflicts? Has any president or other great leader been influenced by Critical Theory? Has there been a successful government program or popular revolution based on Critical Theory? Has Critical Theory solved problems of hunger, or any resource shortage? Has Critical Theory made laws easier to understand and more fair? Things like that. I keep hearing about it, and altho some right-wingers say it’s evil, other people have more confusing answers. I’m a more classical Marxist, and I’ve read through some of it, but I can’t understand if it would help the proletariat towards revolution, or just well-being in general.

  Bitch, words have wildly varying meanings. What does “embolden” mean here? What does “communication” mean here? Is this a religious thing? The transcription process of DNA can be described, as can the movement of planets, and what causes fire to burn and extinguish, but for some reason this is too esoteric for me to understand because of “the system”. What is this “system”? What isn’t this “system”? Is this the Anything-But-Class theorizing that Parenti was talking about?

  How? I’ve read a bit about it, but I’m not exactly sure what you’re describing.

  The joke is that anti-feminists usually end up being overweight pedophiles and Nazis. I thought the community was for jokes; is there some hidden rule that wasn’t shown?

• It's best to judge people by their actions more than their words, but on social media, you only see people's words.

  Like my second, albeit braindead, systems administrator on my shoulder

  I think the more important part is that your systems administrator is braindead. I know it’s hyperbolic, but you can certainly learn coding (Link 2) and Spanish (Link 2) yourself.

  Just give all of Israel to Palestine. It belongs to the Palestinian people. The former Israelis can live in Palestine–there were already Palestinian Jews–but they do not deserve an Israeli government, and ought to give the Palestinians their homes back.
