How would that work?

it doesn't with the infrastructure we have now, its commonly accepted that those companies can have monopolies. doesn't change the fact its broken.


How would multiple companies, each with their own infrastructures be efficient, and profitable?

Providing cheap, quality electricity to everyone is an actual concern that has an effect on people's well-being.

I don't know much about this situation but from this article you posted... some lefties in masks stalked these guys after a right wing event then threw a bottle at them. Sounds like the lefties were the ones starting shit.

anything done to a fascist is self defense

uh

fascism is an inherently violent ideology. genocide is a core tenet of it.

anyone who would be marginalized under fascism (people of colour, women, LGBT+ people, religious minorities, disabled people, etc.) is threatened by the existence of the ideology. Anyone who follows the ideology is inherently a threat to their safety. For all those groups, any action taken against a fascist is self defense.


they'll just repeat the same rhetoric in another thread. some people's education end where their feelings begin.

if memory serves, that user is like 15. I started posting on CE when I was around that age, and I developed a toxic mindset that took me a few broken friendships and a few months away from here (maybe even a full year? I don't really remember) to unlearn.

While imo it's preferable that they not be in this community at that age in the first place, I do what I can to at least introduce them to why so much of the rhetoric here is wrong.

Its just that whenever people bring up these new genders its sounds like you theyre just sayingg variations of the main 2. Like you mentioned gender fluid. Thats someones who goes back and forth between being a guy or a girl, right? So that isnt actually another gender. Youre just alternating between being a man or a woman.

Look, you're talking to the wrong guy here. I really don't know much about these identities, but I do trust that they are different from the male/female binary and for the most part, that's all I need to know. there are people who know more about this than I do. you should seek them out and listen to what they have to say.

Are you guys even from the south? Most people here wear redneck as a literal badge of honor, usually in the form of a decal on the back of their truck

I see it as being pretty similar to how some black people use the n word as a term of endearment to each other (obviously it's not on that level, but it's a similar principle). it's an intra-group term. still generally not cool for someone outside the group to use it

And yes he's right, they're usually the most ignorant hateful people when it comes to minorities

I'm skeptical of this information, so I'm gonna need some hard data to back this up

What does a guy turning into a girl have to do with there being more than 2 genders?

trans people and nonbinary people alike experience dysphoria associated with having a gender assigned to them at birth that doesn't line up with their actual gender

Yeah, but if youre a guy who wishes he was a chick those are still just 2 genders. And if youre non binary, isnt that the just the absence of gender? So theres men, women and nothing. Thats still 2 genders

first of all, a trans woman is not a "guy who wishes he was a chick" - a trans woman is a woman who was incorrectly assigned male at birth

anyway, you're partly correct about the nonbinary part - what you're thinking of specifically is galled "agender", which does indeed fall under the nonbinary umbrella. However, the absence of gender is not the only nonbinary gender identity. it can refer to any gender identity other than male and female.

Oh okay. So what are the gender identities besides male and female?

I'm not actually super informed on the specifics of this. there are a lot of terms for different genders and I don't really understand what they all mean. sometimes people are close to male or female but don't line up perfectly. as mentioned before, agender is also a thing. so is genderfluid. ther are probably also a lot of forms of gender expression that aren't codified to tho same extent.

google is your friend here. there's probably a supreddit for nonbinary issues too.

I mean to an average normal person just going "oh ok" would be a highly unrealistic reaction to somebody saying "hey [friend/relative] you've known me as a dude for 25 years, but now I'm a chick."

Maybe to the average redneck.


if by redneck you mean the vast majority of society not living in a bubble, sure.

I mean the vast majority of society with a bachelors degree or higher.

please don't conflate higher education with acceptance of marginalized people. there are lots of stupid, shitty people who have a university degree, and there are lots of good, smart people who don't

Yeah, but uneducated people tend to be far more racist and discriminatory in general.

if by "uneducated people" you mean "people without a university degree", then that's not true

that being said, you can be educated without going to university, and ignorant despite having a degree. I might sorta agree with this sense.
But you're still being really vague and disingenuous and classist in this topic

(I mean, not only in the sense that they're fascists, but also that they threw the first punch)

https://t.co/dZ6m1FYx5F

(its nyt)

Though Mr. McInnes has said he disavows racism, he wrote that the prominent white nationalist Richard B. Spencer comes across as perfectly reasonable in conversation, and he said Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, who is black, is kind of like Sambo. When he quit the group, he blamed rumors and lies and terrible journalism for undermining the greatest fraternal organization in the world.

This whole idea of white nationalists and white supremacy is a crock, he added. Such people dont exist.

At the same time, previously unreleased video obtained by The New York Times shows that the Proud Boys initiated the attack in Manhattan against a handful of anti-fascist protesters, not the other way around, as Mr. McInnes had initially said.

Prosecutors said at court appearances for some of the accused Proud Boys members that video evidence will prove that the Proud Boys started the fight.

Asked about the Proud Boys, John Miller, deputy police commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, confirmed that incidents like this make it more likely that theyll be higher on the radar.

Enrique Tarrio, chairman of the administrative chapter of the Proud Boys, maintained that the group repudiates hate and racism and pointed out it has ordered white supremacists to leave its events in the past.

The violence started on Oct. 12 shortly after Mr. McInnes gave a speech at the Metropolitan Republican Club on East 83rd Street, a bastion of establishment conservatism.

Outside a crowd of left-wing protesters chanted No Nazis, No KKK, No fascist U.S.A. After the event, the police kept the attendees and protesters separate, but a handful of leftists, wearing masks, circled the block and tried to intercept the Proud Boys on East 82d Street, the police said.

The security video from a nearby building shows that at 8:19 p.m. two men in Proud Boys shirts, Maxwell Hare and Geoffrey Young, strode briskly east from Park Avenue on 82nd Street toward about six protesters some 100 feet away.

Then, Mr. Hare charged the leftists, and a protester threw a plastic water bottle, which sailed past him, the video shows. Mr. Hare crashed into one of the protesters, hurling punches.

Just before he charged, another video filmed by a freelance videographer recorded that someone yelled: Proud Boys! You ready? Proud Boys!

Within seconds more men rushed down the block from Park Avenue and joined the fray, the two videos show. The brawl lasted about 60 seconds.

A third video filmed by a man who was with the Proud Boys showed Mr. Hare and others after the fight exulting about smashing the head of a foreigner.

Both Mr. Young and Mr. Hare have pleaded not guilty and claim through their lawyers they were attacked.

One challenge facing prosecutors is that the victims of the attack have refused to cooperate with the authorities, which means the case will rely heavily on videos from security cameras and onlookers.

The indictment refers to the victims as Shaved Head, Pony Tail, Khaki and Spiky Belt.

The identity of these Antifa members remains unknown, Joshua Steinglass, an assistant district attorney, told a judge at an arraignment for seven of the defendants on Dec. 14.
