I responded directly to and argued your original reply. You said:

It’s their official source so it must be legit.

I said:

Their official source doesn’t even make it legit.

I feel like you failed to parse my first reply in this thread. Go back and try again.

and?

From what little I’ve seen, DiEM25 aren’t a very legitimate movement to start with, it being on their website means nothing for its credibility.

Looks like a radical extremist astroturf. They claim the EU is undemocratic and deeply flawed and must be overthrown.

EDIT: A closer look revealed they haven’t really done anything shifty and that they promote a lot of good stuff, including opposing Brexit. Not sure why they’ve had no success in any elections.

He could also just be a very literal person, perhaps autistic or uninformed, using terms exactly as they are defined, who wants to support equality but not support philogyny. Either way, clarifying that the feminism is humanism and equality and hardlining that point is the answer.

I was listing how they were different from the other groups.

A lot of them weren’t even anti-capitalist, tbh. Look up what a Yuppie is.

I didn’t say how bad, exactly, just that they’re almost all a net negative. You know, people who give more to the church than to charity, people who vote for autocrats, people who drill for oil and argue online about climate change. And some of them do indeed bomb abortion clinics and murder infidels, a small minority, but the average evangelical isn’t that far off from that ledge of no return.

The good ones are the ones who set up well regulated mobile soup and bread kitchens to feed the poor. They’re the ones who open shelters and secure the building to take people in during storms. They’re the ones who promote education despite contradictions with their beliefs. Those are few and far between.

That’s a so much better response than writing the male off as misogynist. I like that a lot.

I disagree about religion, I think the good apples might be the exceptions in any ideology whose core tenants are 1. feelings over thoughts and 2. fear of punishment as basis of morality.

Well, tbf, Hippies were better known for free-love-ism, illicit substances, and fake gurus than the other groups. The free love and illicit substances probably contributed to the spread of a lot of disease, which might be why it died out.

See “Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den” (施氏食獅史, Shī Shì shí shī shǐ), written by Yuen Ren Chao for an example.

You know whats the worst? English Transliterations where the family name is something like Alan or Rodderick and the characters first names are Fitzgerald or Caldwell. And some translators can’t figure it out so they type up the name Gram as Garham or the name Alice as Arisu.

I imagine it’s easy, with English as a starting point, up until you get into the larger set of pictograms.

Belarus are some real stupid assholes, how do they not realize they’re on the chopping block?

Hell, even just his $1,400,000,000 house would be a great target. Hit him in the retirement, old white dudes in suits hate that.

I would celebrate that, actually.

Ah, you’re right, I’ll downvote as well. Good Call.

This is great, why is it getting downvoted?
