I’d be tempted to just move the book back where it originally was myself if I happened to live nearby.

The UK should expell US diplomats over this, or at least cease all US trade talks.

Not necessarily. Lots of people haven’t died in Rojava or in the areas of Southern Mexico controlled by the Zapatistas. Authoritarianism was the problem with restructurings you allude to, not socialism.

Tell that to a child slave in a cobalt mine.
Being “dedicated to succeeding” is a one-way ticket to burnout.

Succeed at capitalism? That’s a fool’s errand. Better to point them to the real enemy which is the bourgeoisie and the real solution which is for the working class to form democratic organizations aimed at overthrowing the ruling class and form worker led democratic ways of organizing society.

Manosphere men fall pray to the XY problem: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem?wprov=sfla1.
They demand the X which is a girlfriend and money in order to solve problem Y which is a lack of social connectedness and decreasing standards of living.
They believe themselves entitled to X because of that. Actually, everyone (including Manosphere men) is entitled to a solution to Y which affects everyone appart from the bourgois (who still lack social connectedness) but the solution to that is Z which is a wholesale restructuring of our society and economy to one that is maximally democratic and socialist.

The lack of income independent from your spouse is a huge argument against being a housewife.

"2Sure Finland’s female-led coalition party is not feminists according to YOU<br> www.bbc.com/news/stories-55020994"
If you see feminism as every time there are women in government, why do you oppose feminism?
“So pro-left they are & yet so pro-war”
They’re a right-wing austerity government but I’ll bite, which war are you talking about?
“TERFs are a thing too”
Sure, I never said all feminists are left-wing. There are reactionary strands of feminism (if we accept that they are indeed feminists) such TERFs for example. My point is that feminism is not a monolith and the bulk of it is left-wing.
“The feminists do not oppose the draft.”
Correction: A country right next to an expansionist dictatorship does not oppose the draft. I’ll probably get shouted at buy when you are right next to a country like Russia, the draft is a necessary evil.
“(Finland has a male-only draft & wants to join NATO which totally a defensive alliance)”
Perhaps the draft should be extended to women. In any case, irrelevant to your “point” about feminism.

The 1950s was when women were relegated to the role of housewife. You are asking why women don’t want to be relegated to that role.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 2 weeks ago:
That has nothing to do with my remark. The far-right is anti-feminist.
As to you question, there are many different strands of feminism and Marxist feminism, anarcha-feminism, intersectional feminism, queer feminism etc. are very much pro-left.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 2 weeks ago:
Really? Finland had the far-right Finns party in coalition in the last few years.

No one even brought up sex or dating. The logical jump to incels here is baffling.

The extreme depression and anxiety exhibited by women in the 1950s contradicts your claim.

I’m not American. I’m hoping to inspire Americans with my comments. There are people doing something. There’s 50501, for example.

There are several “originals” of the Magna Carta. This is only one of them. The British library has two.
- Comment on Harvard cut-price Magna Carta 'copy' now believed genuine 1 month ago:
Which itself could inspire resistance to it. Especially if the displaying of the Magna Carta doesn’t officially have anything to do with Trump.
- Comment on Harvard cut-price Magna Carta 'copy' now believed genuine 1 month ago:
Let’s hope displaying an original Magna Carta publically in the US inspires resistance against the Trump regime.

Thank you for the explanation. I hope it doesn’t turn into nuclear war. What’s happening in India and Pakistan doesn’t look good.

Thank you for informing me. I’ll take a look in ten years if they are still around.
In any case, I knew I would be banned eventually regardless so I just did as much agitating as possible until that point came.
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 2 months ago:
There’s a reason why most of the people still there and ostensibly on the left are doomers. Reddit won’t tolerate anyone else. This also has the effect of encouraging more people to become doomers and not take any action.
