  • Fair enough, good quote (btw I'm not from US so my knoledge here is limited). Although I'm not sure what portion I agree/disagree with it, I have to think about it much more.

    But I mean, even MLK understood that there's a limit, right? Like he didn't take AK47 and started to murder all the racists he saw but have chosen rather strong but non violent approach and he thought about what he was saying and what "works". And that's all I'm saying, I've never said that you cannot take a strong stance. But if you turn it to 11 and just RAGE!!! then be prepared that you might not achieve anything or even make the situation worse

  • I fully agree. This applies not only to feminism but in general - if you want to convince people about something, you need to plan your approach, what to say, know what works on people etc. You cannot just rage like crazy because there's a high chance you just create a counter reaction.

    F.e. I'd say we can all agree that gay rights are the right thing. But if you come to some conservative village, start shouting at everyone, being super aggresive and rage like a maniac, I'd bet that the only thing you achieve is that you'll be labeled as "that crazy person"

    I'm really surprised of the responses to this comment, I find this to be a common sense

  • Oh sleep talking nonsense is the best! When I was in college my roommate wrote down what I said whe I was sleeping, it could be roughly translated like this:

    "We have a crooked goat in our head that we can grab by the wall and then we can go fuck ourselves because we've had enough of it and that's it"

    I couldn't make this shit up even if I tried ...

  • What's your most profound "small world" moment?

    Jump

  • A classmate of mine from elementary school is a professional voleyball player. She traveled the world, played for teams in Europe, Middle east and Asia. Eventually she settled in the exact same village as me on the completely oposite side of the country from where we grew up. I didn't even know until my wife told me that one of our neighbours was born in the same town as me

  • if you're not free to become poor, homeless, and starving, are you really free?

    Jump

  • Yes, I guess that's up to a debate which one is better (or none of them).

    I'd say if we imagine housing as a scale from 0 to 100 where 0 means you're homeless and 100 means you're living in a mansion

    • The US way sounds like you're using the whole scale - you've quite a lot of homeless people, but also quite a lot of people living in mansions. Some people are above average, some are bellow awerage and so on.
    • The soviet way is like if you'd shrink the scale to 30 to 50. You have no homeless people but also no one is living in a mansion (well ... ). But also notice the best you can achieve in such system is average.

    Which approach is better? I guess from "progress" point of view the US system is better. Theoretically if you're skilled and hard working, you can get above average and live better life. That's actually the reason why so many skilled and talented people fled the soviet union - in the west there was no "ceiling" for you. On the other hand, from humanity point of view though, the soviet system sounds much better - country caring about every single one of its citizens to have a place to live.

    But I'd argue that maybe the 3rd way is best. Because well both Soviets and US are extremes. Soviets were ... well ... soviets. It's like "left" on steroids. Also it failed - I mean if it was such a paradise on earth, why were so many people fleeing it.

    But US is also an extreme - you're like a capitalist lunapark. Even other countries from west are often horrified how you take care of people (or rather not care)

    But there is some middle ground between these - you can have a system with focus on social issues but also not go crazy f.e. some scandinaviam countries

  • I add that "cannot be evicted" is a double edge sword here. Since appartments were free and were assigned more or less random (cough, cough, corruption), very often you got one or two ... let's say "interresting" neighbours

    Edit: well some interresting facts from my mom who's sitting next to me - there were quite some downsides

    • My father asked for an appartment and the answer was: get married. As a single guy you won't get anything.
    • Also when you get married and have children, there's no guarantee that you get some big appartment. Her colleague had 3 children, a husband and got 1 room appartment anyway
    • There was a list of people waiting for appartments. When you were somewhere down, you wait, for years
    • When she asked for an apparartment as a married woman, a "commission" arrived to verify, whether we as a familly really need one. And whether we couldn't stay living with grandma
    • When my grandma with my mom moved into a newly built appartment, they opened a window and it fell off. My grandad caught it thankfully so it didn't break. They never openned that window again. There was no one to repair it and a replacement was basically impossible. They were able to open it again in like 2010 when she changed windows
