yeah so there’s a neo nazi/white supremacy rally going on in charlottesville where they are literally chanting “blood and soil!!” (an actual nazi saying) and the police are doing absolutely nothing about it. no tear gas, no national guard, no heavy police force,, these TERRORISTS are getting away with spreading hatred towards the marginalized and i am absolutely sickened
spread this like wildfire
Is that an actual picture of the event bc wtf that looks like half the campus
unfortunately yes, here are some more photos from the terrorist rally:
thankfully a lot of the students are against what’s happening on campus, but there’s something very wrong with this photo. the good guys are hiding their faces and the bad guys are not. this world is getting uglier to the point where human decency has to be hidden.
Some clarification: Not many students are even back yet, this early in August. Richard Spencer and the gang basically picked their timing to bus in these people to “take back” UVA, to when they could outnumber the opposition and look like they were really the dominant voice.
Pretty good summary I saw earlier on Twitter, from Megh Drummond in Charlottesville:
Not actually locals. 80% of Charlottesville voted for Clinton and we voted to remove confederate statues. Now we have the KKK here.
“What brings us together is that we are white, we are a people, we will not be replaced,” Spencer said at an afternoon protest, the first of two rallies he led in the town where he once attended the University of Virginia.
At the second rally, dozens of torch-bearing protesters gathered in a city park Saturday evening and chanted “You will not replace us” and “Russia is our friend,” local television footage shows. Spencer was not shown addressing that gathering, but he tweeted a photo of himself standing in the crowd carrying what appeared to be a bamboo tiki torch.
The evening protest was short-lived. About 10 minutes in, an altercation between Spencer’s group and counterprotesters drew police to the scene, and the crowd quickly dispersed, the Charlottesville Daily Progress reported.
So they waited until now, and brought in a lot more assholes with more tiki torches when they expected to find less direct opposition.
I’m from Virginia (unlike Richard Spencer), and there’s more than enough bad history there. But, I’ve been seeing some misinterpretations of what was going on here. When the whole thing was really set off by people trying to do the right thing with some of that ugly history, and get that monument taken down.
It seems kind of suspicious to me that such a wide variety of phenomena are explained by the idea that women are supposedly people-oriented while men are supposedly thing-oriented.
I think that it’s easy to look back and say, “Why, all of these things that men just happen to be predominant in are thing-oriented, but all of those things that women are predominant in are people-oriented!!”
The categories seem too arbitrary. I think that people might just be ignoring the exceptions to the categories.
Politics is people oriented; lawyering is people-oriented; writing is people-oriented; administration of businesses is people-oriented; international diplomacy is people-oriented; sports commentating is people-oriented; game design is (arguably) people-oriented; detective work is people-oriented; police work is people-oriented.
But it’s clear to me that these fields are, for the most part, not exactly brimming with women.
Knitting, on the other hand, is thing-oriented. Painting and making small handicrafts is thing-oriented. Dressmaking and fashion are thing-oriented. Shopping and cleaning are thing-oriented. Hairdressing is (arguably) thing-oriented.
Why don’t the thing-oriented men like dressmaking? Why don’t the people-oriented women end up managing workers at companies or dominating politics?
I think this theory proves too much.
[Yes, I massaged the categories a little so that they would fit into the people/things binary. That’s sort of part of the point.]
Not like women have been telling y’all this since the beginning of time or anything.
I mean, yeah, at one point three years ago I was curled up in a fetal position literally screaming/crying/gasping for breath on my bed in my dorm room, so my response to this headline is basically, “No shit.”
No wonder women are so likely to ignore heart disease/attack symptoms. If something isn’t as bad as my cramps, I figure it can’t be that bad.
Bonjour tout le monde ! Il y a un an, j’ai posté ça dans le tag “upthebaguette” et maintenant, je suis en train de faire des préparatifs pour aller sur Lyon. J’ai été accepté par Lyon 2 et j’y serai pendant un semestre. Je serai sur Lyon à partir de septembre. Malheureusement, j’ai toujours du mal à trouver un logement (en colocation). Je consulte les sites leboncoin, lacartedescolocs, etc. tous les jours et j’ai envoyé beaucoup des mails, mais j’arrive pas à trouver quelque chose. Il me reste juste trois semaines jusqu’à je pars les Etats-Unis et je m’inquiéte. Si vous avez des conseils, svp n’hésitez pas à me contacter. Merci !
Hello everyone! Last year, I posted this in the “upthebaguette” tag, and right now I’m preparing to go to Lyon. I’ve been accepted by Lyon 2 to do an exchange semester and I’ll be in Lyon starting in September. Unfortunately, I’m still having trouble finding housing. I visit leboncoin, lacartedescolocs, etc. everyday and I’ve sent out a lot of inquiries, but I still haven’t been able to find something. There’s only three weeks left until I leave the US and I’m worried. If you have any advice for me, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you so much!
