Sex segregation in childrens sports is legitimately a powerful indoctrinating force for binary sexism and the enforcement of gender roles.

Granddroids is incredible, I love it

Cold water, separate white items. It really only takes a couple minutes. Eventually even if there isnt an immediate stark change in tint on the item, over time it'll steadily become more and more off-white. It looks noticeably worse imo.

Ive been waiting on really important paperwork from the government. I'm really glad that at least some things might be getting sent.

If only Carney was a good politican who had helped Canada in literally any way since taking office. At least he sorta looks good in comparison to a dementia riddled fascist, I guess. Fascists will see this as Canada bowing to the king.

I'm curious how the party could simultaneously be a part of the proletariat and also a distinct entity in its own right? In intersectional feminism a great deal of discussion goes into the idea of classes existing within complex frameworks of political and social power. All classes are created based on some distinguishing characteristics. Economic characteristics, racial characteristics, characteristics of ability, sexuality, gender, etc. Classes are not generally self assigned they are assigned by others in response to perceived characteristics, there's exceptions but not generally. Classes are hierarchal, always. That is that none of them exist in isolation. Some classes are privileged to the disadvantage of some other classes.

Unless you existed within a single class system, which would have no distinguishing characteristics, and all people would belong to it. I think in socialist theory this would be the end goal of a communist revolution, the creation of a classless society where everyone holds the same social and political power.

The reason I want to layout my understanding of class is specifically to say, I do not understand how the vanguard can be a part of the working class. It does not make sense that a state entity that is characteristically distinguishable from the working class could also be a part of that working class. Many ML nations have even employed literal signifiers that someone is a member of the party. The amount of political power of general secretaries / chairmen / councilmen is also just not the same as the political power of any worker within those nations. There's a hierarchy of political power that would privilege members of the party over workers themselves. How do you believe this inherent contradiction can be rectified?

I have qualms over what constitutes "wrecker behavior" or bourgeois power, and more importantly who determines what constitutes those things, but I'll table that over this discussion which I think has more potential to be productive.

I see. The use of the term dictatorship is kinda misleading in this sense then. I'll admit some ignorance on my behalf on the "democracy by policy" functions within ML states. I am aware of the party congress but always understood that this did not include all matters of state. I do think that multiparty electoral democracies are largely misdirections to protect the interests of the ruling class. I am somewhat confused about what the actual extent of democracy by policy could be? Or how this relates to the state monopoly of violence, agents of the state like police and military forces.

Yuuuup. The state and capitalists collude against the working class. Neither one nor the other can ever be trusted to put the interests of workers first, though they will each make empty promises to do so. Then they will privilege the ruling class every time.

I despise that I have to use this OS at work. I would never run windows on my own computer again. Its just insanity. Next they'll require a credit card to make a Microsoft account.

Makes sense. Crazy what they can get away with.
