If you think the FSB had good intel, that means you think they decided to ignore it and allow the terrorist attack in Moscow to happen.

I don't think they're that evil. But hey, maybe you're right.

Those Ukrainian Jewish Nazi ISIS supporters! They're the worst!

Is it?

What about the Armenian genocide? Does it get taught in Turkish schools? Is there a statue?

What about Holodomor? Does that get taught in Russian schools? Is there a statue?

What about the up to 50 million who died as a consequence of the Great Leap Forward? Is there a statue commemorating them?

Sorry to reply to an older comment, but you are correct. Feeling alienated from (capitalist) society or the fake mediatised and commericalised reality we're often fed is indeed different to derealization.

I've experienced the latter, and it's more like an out of body experience. Like you're floating a few centimeters above your body, or like you're watching yourself in a movie. Like you're experiencing something that feels like very vivid deja vu or like you're in a dream. Which can of course lead you to make very bad decisions.

It’s a product of this warped system of capitalism. Unite over it. Don’t pin it to your lapel.

I sometimes wonder if it isn't sometimes a deliberate attempt to individualise societal problems. Pretend the syptoms are the problem, rather than adress the cause: a sick and profoundly unfair society that is in seemingly terminal decline. You're sad about climate change? It's your fault for not taking anti-depressants. You're angry about industrial pollution? You didn't put the yogurt pot in the wrong bin, it's your fault.

I'm honestly surprised that Stephen King's obsession with including child abuse and rape in his books hasn't caused more waves in the age of twitter. Certainly a bit weird how Stephen King is often recommended to young adults.

They're willing to outsource it to countries with more expertise.

I remember giving the joystick port on my C64 a wet willy to activate cheat mode on a game. No, I'm not making that up.

Why do you think Mattel, a company that's been accused of profiting of child labour and whose dolls have been shown to be damaging to young girls body image, made a Barbie movie?

Nah.

The reality is that this Mattel using feminism to shift product. It's fundamentally no different than when brands pretend to be gay friendly through marketing, to distract from their past and current record. Or when an oil company pretends to be green.

In the case of Mattel, their dolls have causes young girls body image problems and have been accused of using child labour

A relevant bit from a guardian article:

So, what are those bevies of pink-bedecked filmgoing females supposed to make of all this? They will see seductive but dubious stereotypes embellished rather than subverted. Muddled messaging may dispel rather than stimulate any impulse to crusade. What might therefore leave the most residual impact is Sarah Greenwood’s luscious production design. A clear call to action does in the end emerge: go forth and buy the products of the film’s sponsor, Mattel, and its galaxy of commercial partners. If Barbie constitutes a triumph, it’s a triumph not of feminism but of the patriarchy’s so far most unassailable scion – capitalism. Women have been spending millions to watch a giant advertisement more likely to bewilder than inspire them. And now they’re spending millions more on the merch. Mattel’s (male) chairman and CEO, Ynon Kreiz, has plenty of cause to be pleased. But feminists? Perhaps not so much.

They haven't even been convicted yet, they're supposed to enjoy the presumption of innocence, and yet they're being shamed and punished.

The dead naming really isn't cool either, although that's probably bottom of the list of worries trans people have when interacting with the police given the horror stories I've heard.
