No.

This is a load of shit. Why it has up votes blows my mind.

Do some reading or watching of hunter gatherer societies and you'll see lots of group survival activities. Teamwork in hunts, in preserving food, in crafting tools, and making shelter.

If we were this self-centered, we wouldn't have such advanced communication, which is how we were able to do all those group activities.

Survival of the fittest is survival of those that cooperate.

He did. It contradicts basic tenants of Marxism, but he did write theory.

Edit: tenets. That's embarrassing. Thanks.

Yeah, it's a problem. A threatened country integrated a fascist militia into its army. Yes, and that's bad.

But the country as a whole does not like Nazis at all, and doesn't vote for them.

"In the 2019 Ukrainian elections, the far-right nationalist electoral alliance, including Svoboda, National Corps, Right Sector, Azov Battalion, OUN, and Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists, under-performed expectations. In the presidential election, its candidate Ruslan Koshulynskyi received 1.6% of the vote, and in the parliamentary election, it was reduced to a single seat and saw its national vote fall to 2.15%, half of its result from 2014 and one-quarter of its result from 2012."

The country has a Jewish president and a Muslim cabinet minister. Sound like a Nazi country to you?

Ok a court filing, DeSantis lawyers defined "woke" as, "the belief that there are systemic inequities in US society and the need to work against them".

Which is not bad as a definition, really.

They don't. This is about them getting more profit from you.

To the tune of "if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands"

If you're a Nazi and you're fired, It's your fault 👏👏

If you're a Nazi and you're fired, It's your fault 👏👏

You were spotted in the mob, Now you've lost your fucking job.

If you're a Nazi and you're fired, It's your fault 👏👏

Abortion and pot legalization both. I'd vote for sex and drugs, so no on this.

[-] Jonna@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

This seems like it would make it harder for Ohioans to vote to make abortion and pot legal, against the wishes of the gerrymandered Republican legislature. I would vote no.

Layoff protection was listed in the article as one of their reasons for unionizing. Being able to better negotiate severance, the right to be rehired, etc. The auto industry has layoffs, but unionized workers get recalled when jobs pick back up.
