I haven’t checked it out at. Thanks for the suggestion :), it might be the dream
Calling bunch of football hooligans getting their shit kicked in “kristalnacht” is Holocaust denialism imo
I think it’s a couple of things
Western chauvinism inculcates “those are bad countries doing bad things in a bad system” which takes a lot to unlearn.
Authority can and always is abused for corruption and has been abused for corruption in communist systems, which in part justifies the charge that any system with structural authority will be abused for corruption.
Angst vibes lead to a “fuck every system” attitude.
By standing against all authority structures that actually exist or have existed, they are immune to criticisms based on reality, so I think to a degree it’s a stand you take when you want to take a stand but don’t want to accept that reality is always flawed.
Communist states are often militaristic which sits uncomfortably close to nationalism.
My only real criticisms of rust are aesthetical. I never liked how C++ is full of macros and :: and <> and rust inherits that a bit.
I use Go because of the work I do right now, which is deep in Kubernetes and APIs for which Go is just more convenient. Protobuf and K8S are of course supported by rust and many other languages as well, but in Go it’s simply easy… Go was designed from the bottom up to write APIs basically so it’s good at that. And most, almost all, of the K8S ecosystem uses Go which means I’d need a good reason not to use Go for that since standardization, interoperability, and ecosystem are key concerns.
You can use rust for this too, for sure no problem. But with Go you’re doing all of that pretty much out of the box.
The Go ecosystem in general is a little bit stronger due to higher adoption, although I wouldn't really call that a weakness of rust.
And finally less people use Rust which is another consideration for long term maintenance concerns, but to be fair Go adoption is also low.
I’m never an evangelist for any language. Well, if I could simply write everything in typescript I would to be honest because I think it’s just swell but obviously its not for this use case, and the above are the reasons why I use Go and get my teams to use Go for the use case of services, Kubernetes controllers, and since we want to use Go for those things we then also use Go for other random things like CLIs etc just because it makes sense to limit tech stack sprawl.
The problem is that the dems didn’t capture enough GOP voters. They really need to reach across the aisle and appeal to the MAGA base.
My song was perfect, the dance routine flawless, and the yodeling on point
I really want Go but without a garbage collector is that too much to ask
This is the most important vote in history democracy itself is on the line this is the final chance to stop fascism oh he won yeah sure I work for him now
It’s amazing how they see this as a cleansing away and not just a change of shift between swamp monsters
All part of Ukraine’s plan to divert troops from Kamchatka
Now that you’ve won why don’t you just surrender to make it easier for us to acknowledge that you’ve won
Massive escalation isn’t a real option. The idea that the USA can field half a million men in Europe isn’t real.
They could escalate to nukes or they could occupy a buffer zone in western Ukraine and dare Russia to use nukes.
Going head to head against Russia in Ukraine without nukes isn’t realistic. It would simply mean more meat for the grinder.
wtf it’s been almost 24 hours since trump won and the Ukraine war is still going wtf
The best possible outcome for china is to delay any conflict as long as possible, ideally until it’s such a completely forgone conclusion that the US just accepts it’s second-tier status.
President Xi 
give that man some patents
It’s happening in Spain. The hyper-right Madrid mayor has a basis of support and big money in the Venezuelan diaspora and she’s probably going to be president of Spain soon.
I wish there was a tanky J6 
MI6 wanted to tip it to Trump because they’re all part of the same crime family and their stooge PM did their bidding
Trumps vote count has been basically steady for 8 years.
Trump didn’t win this. Very clearly the Dems lost it.
I have a good friend who is generally good politically, not one of us but not bad. A socdem who is aware enough to know NATO is bad and Palestine deserves justice etc.
They’re very strong on feminism, advanced. More than me by far and I value their pov on feminism. A lot.
But they have Islamophobe brainworms. Mostly surrounding sexual violence in Europe by Muslims. They have a suite of rage bait statistics or anecdotes of sexual violence by Muslim men in Europe.
“See this isolated and context-free statistic which shows really the problem is Islam and the cultural values of these immigrants.”
The discussion for them becomes rooted in feminism.
“Why should women pay the price for all the sexual violence Muslim men bring with them? Honor killings are 100% Muslim!”
“X% of rapes are by muslims when they are only Y% of the population.”
“Why are all the immigrants men? We should ban the male refugees from these places, but as a good pro-refugee progressive we should allow the women and children in because they aren’t a problem.”
It’s tempting to try and fight this on data but I think that would kind of be conceding the deeper clash of civilizations argument in some way?
It’s also tempting to fight this on the grounds of material circumstances and point out that gender equality largely follows economic development but then that’s really just entirely conceding to the world view that Islamic immigration is an affliction upon European women for several generations until they assimilate.
I think a core problem here is that I am completely disconnected and unaware of what feminism looks like in the Muslim worlds and so I can’t speak to or challenge the underlying Islamophobia.
Of course there are issues with patriarchy in the Islamic world and when my friend points to the veil in Iran being enforced by the religious police and it’s impossible for me to deny that and I completely agree with them (while disagreeing with them insofar as I totally accept many Muslim women choose to wear it but then it becomes a complex go-nowhere discussion about peer pressure and bikinis) but then there’s this bridge from that true fact to the assertion that Islamic men are a threat to European women which is just like woah man wtf.
How do I approach this? Where’s my Muslim-world feminist perspective at? What are some considered debunks or analyses of the use of isolated statistics on sexual violence?
Like the best internet gotcha would be a statistical analysis that simply debunks the sexual violence statistics and that would be helpful but I believe there’s a deeper Islamophobia and sense of western cultural supremacy, clash of civilizations, thesis that they don’t explicitly acknowledge and I sense that feminism is being abused to ennoble that.
And on the flip side, I’m a male. I’m very unlikely to be a victim of sexual violence at this point in my life. I’m not going to be a victim of an honor killing. Do I have privilege I need to check here?
Overall I think the best would be for me to discover and learn feminist theory and female perspectives from Muslim / Arabic / Palestinian / Iranian / Afghan / Pakistani authors, both in the “Muslim world” and from those living in the west.
Maybe it would also be useful to look at how panic about black men raping women was used and is used to justify racial oppression as a consciousness raising exercise?
Considered feminist critiques of Islam?
