  • I’m not entirely sure about what are the reasoning behind your comment, but i see it as : llibertarian implies no state + parks and forest require state = incompatibility. I’d disagree on the parks and forest require state, i thinl they only need organization, meaning one or more NGO could handle it. Accepting this, not that much incompatibility between libertarian and forest remains (accepting libertarian as left wing meaning that does not imply private property)



  • I observe this too. My generation of friends met in school at first, but as we got older and went to work, meeting someone new became more rare. I saw a lot of my friends starting dating each other in our high-school group of friends years after we left highschool, probably because it was easier than to meet random people. It’s a bit weird though, and most relationships ended rapidly or badly.

    So when work and old school friends are no option, and you have no place to make new friends, it does feel logical to turn to online dating.


  • Well it depends. Technically speaking, it’s around twice as fast as standard speed on highway (at least in France, so 130kmh). In terms of feelings, it’s probably not that faster? I never went above 140 or so but from my experience, your brain adapts to the speed, so if you got to 300 not that suddenly it probably does not feel like twice as fast than the usual. In terms of safety, it may be more than twice the danger. I’m no expert, but depending on the vehicle and how many other vehicles there are on the highway, it could be very dangerous.







  • I was a bit confused too, but OPs answer to your comment clarified it quite well.

    And after thinking a bit on it, and from my very basic knowledge of lgbt movment, here’s what i think they advocate for (pls correct me if i say bs) : sex and gender are indeed different, they aee not necessarily connected and both are spectrums rather than binary options. This means you could have a lot of options between what sex you are (male/female/intersex), what gender you are (a lot of options) and what gender you were assigned at birth (generally either male or female). Some trans people need their “physical” sex identity to match their gender, other don’t.

    The problem in this case seems to me that she advocates for a strict binary conception of sex identity and that she pushed for it to be more important than gender in social situations such as sport. Part of the confusion also comes from the fact that she acknowledges parts of what the lgbt movment fights for but she fights against the rest, which happens frequently in TERF rethorics afaik


  • I kinda disagree here. Ofc the police is on the front line, but the judges protect policemen and policewomen from being convicted or too harshly punished.

    More generally, it is judges who decide to send people to prison, to inflict economic and social punishments on people deviating from the state, to send refugees back to suffering or death they tried to escape from. I saw trials in France where the judges considered the fact that a militant had anarchist books in his library as aggravating circumstance. I studied law for 3 years and made internship in tribunals, and it is not a misconception to say that the judiciary system is protecting and perpetrating state violence, though it’s less bloody than what the cops can do.
