I used to live in an industrial city with one of the biggest inland ports in the world. The rivers are a pretty popular hangout spot. People get some portable grills and chairs and just watch the ships go by. I feel like they are a bit less interesting then old ships tho.

They didn't use bots to upvote that one video from the internet's edgy gore phase, that includes a woman and eating cereal in a disgusting way? Very unlike the internet.

Do you mean orange juice on oats? Because that apparently works and the two combined are healthy or whatever. Or do you mean full on cinnamon toast crunch, frosted flakes type shit? Frosted flakes doesn't actually sound that bad.

If a battle can not be won do not fight it.

If you police it it's not a cultural thing. If it was just a cultural thing than we could just let the * slowly die out. But banning language hinders progress. And I'm sorry, but the German language is constantly shifting and changing. There have even been multiple planned changes that went pretty well in recent history. Using English words might have been a big change back then, but now it's really common. The first terms for mobile were things like "Taschentelefon" (pocket telephone), "drahtloses Telephone" (wireles telephone) or the one that is still in use "Mobiltelefon" (mobile phone). None of these seem outlandish to me.

I 100% agree that it's not perfect. Still, banning an attempt at being inclusive is clearly not about how impractical it can be. And even if it were, policing language is stupid 9 times out of 10.

Ok so I study political science (second semester so not an expert at all) and last semester I had to research a lot about turnout rates for people in less fortunate situations. The answer is really simple actually. If people live in shit situations they don't trust the government and they start to not care. Education is worse when you don't have enough money. There is also a constant struggle to make politics feel closer to the people because that directly impacts if you will educate yourself and go participate. Unfortunately politics feels like it is either actively against you or at least doesn't do anything for you if you are at the bottom .One thing that might be important in the US is that slums decrease political awareness / willingness to vote because these people who are probably not going to care are surrounded by more people that don't care. So if noone around you says something good about the government you are going to hate it even more.

All of this leads to an underrepresentation of these groups which leads to their problems being overlooked or underestimated which leads to worse conditions which leads to less political activity which leads to less representation....its a cycle that makes millions of peoples lives worse every day. And at some point they just don't care about politics because politics seems to not care about them. None of my sources are in English so get bozoed I could be lying about all of this.

I used to think that believes really don't matter as long as the person doesn't act on it, but almost all believes shape who we are. It starts with little comments and evolves into actions. It doesn't have to be that way if people acknowledge harmful ideas, but if you let someone believe that women are worthless or that their race makes them superior for long enough they will become a bad person.
