His daughter was in the social-studies department just like her father, and rowed crew, too, but she had chosen to write her thesis on “The Concept of Reification in Western Marxist Thought,” having come to very different conclusions than her father had about how the world should work. Ackman said it felt as though she “had been indoctrinated” into a cult.

It’s only “indoctrination” when the system of preference isn’t capitalism. They’d never admit capitalism breeds its own cult.

Astute distinction.

Also important to note that Religion and Faith itself are not the problem. I’m not saying that you’re saying this with your comment, but I see on Lemmy the casual relationship between religion and bigotry to almost say religion equals bigotry and I don’t think that’s fair. A truly respectful and inclusive society should be able to include everyone.

I think Interfaith Alliance highlighted a good quote here from Rev. Raushenbush (president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance):

"I want my children to be introduced to the families and traditions of Muslims, Jews, and many other faiths and identities. There’s little doubt that Christian nationalist groups will soon seek the right to opt out from any educational content they object to. It’s a dangerous slippery slope that starts with discrimination against the gay community, but doesn’t stop there.”

Also they stated that the decision clears the way for further discrimination against diverse groups and undermines public education. While falsely claiming the mantle of religious freedom, it in fact suppresses diversity and promotes exclusion.

Perhaps define “overrated” first or else I am not following your point.

“It’s just a hell of a way to treat a veteran,” said Carey Holliday, a former immigration judge who is now representing the couple. “You take their wives and send them back to Mexico?”

Trump has never disguised what he thinks about veterans. I’m surprised he’s surprised.
(I’m not)

Lemmy only. Reddit has become some strange mix of Quora and X or something like that at this point.

It’s Luanti* - You got the name wrong

GUNZ The Duel - man that was just so much fun. Online guns and swords gladiator style battles in the most neat stages. I remember an old mansion with broken staircases and balconies, a train station with freight cargo all over the place, an actual roman colosseum, a beach with a grounded ship ashore.

Some people could do this thing called K-style or butterfly style where you slash your sword against walls or other objects which made you lift off the ground, and switch between your gun to shoot as you do so - it was a neat trick which I learned but definitely did not master.

So much fun though.

Does it fly tho?

Work out and watch Kung Fu movies - actually a great idea

The locks were installed in such a way that if you pulled the door a little, it would open. (So a discreet soft pull on the door was not a good way of determining occupancy.)

Maybe because of that?

RuneScape 😅

Long nails are a thing with women of all races. I wouldn’t call it predominantly black. I’d call it predominantly tacky.

Enshittification.

Neal’s made a lot of nice things.

For me, it’s going to be the AI injected into the body without consent.

True Christians leave the judgement to God. Your dad’s one of the good ones.

I would snarkily, rhetorically, ask if people are even taught how to diagram out a sentence structure anymore, but I already know the answer is ‘not really, no’, because the average adult American literacy level is that of a 6th grader.

I agree with your overall statement. Just wanted to point out that there are a lot more people than Americans out there.

So you’re not confirming that it’s rage bait but rather that it’s a real graded paper.
