What does well regulated militia mean?

You see no point in discussing that when there's steps that can be taken to control the flow of guns to criminals? And you see no reason to discuss every other mass shooting?

[–] samson@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Yes but you can imagine the exact same situation of someone wanting work a different job but due to need in their area they can't.

This implies there's such thing as a victim of genocide card which there isnt.

Socialism requires production just as much as capitalism, and absolutely requires people to work to their ability.

It was found that he raped someone, he is guilty of rape, but a judge did not find him guilty of rape. Why do you insist so much on muddling the definitions of these things? It's not good for democracy or the judicial process to use terms randomly and without definition.

People say I'm guilty, he's guilty etc but it's unlikely to hear "they were found guilty" outside of jurisprudence, and to say that when referring to a judicial trial and then say you meant a lay term when the professional term exists is a bit lax.

I wouldn't say "WiFi" in place of "internet" while referring to an IT problem for example.

Of course that would be nice, but I feel we are a long long way culturally as a species from disconnecting from the gender binary as a whole. I think so strongly of myself as male, and it seems for many queer people that they think of themselves as transgender within that binary. It's important while we still think this way to vehemently preserve the right to indentify legally in or outside of the gender binary but I totally appreciate that idea as a long term goal.

Reactionism, people often feel tied to their gender identity. Gender is a social construct but a very well built construct.
