Your engagement with this article here makes me see that we are in a new sort of space for these discussions. And I really appreciate the moderator too. I am 47 and it's been a lonely, long haul. Thank you.

Sure. It's reading. (happy to send you a reading list if you let me know your own aptitudes and interests as a point of entry ). It's learning that Western culture structures the normal as a white monyed male and any perspective t

What you call clickbait is something I think about _every_ time I visit this site - years and years. Your experience online is as gendered as mine is - it's just that your perspective is normal and mine is abstracted to 'clickbait

Yes. The first 20 years of internet was a mob that kept me from ever commenting and the misogyny I encountered - art videos stolen and shared on boards, attacks on my work - shaped my behavior forever. I do not believe in the concept "

My takeaway is that is exactly what this article is about - food is one category along with clothing, phones, material culture - and he is not arguing about what we pay. Rather, he is describing a facet of the structure of Western Civilizat

Nationstates have no meaning beyond mechanism to obscure borderization of humans and boderlessness velocity of capital. It would be more correct for me to say I am a Bezosian or I am a Zuckerbergian than I am Canadian.

As someone who works in Russia for a few months every year, to say that Putin is loved by Russia is the same as saying Trump is loved by America. Putin has a base.
