As many know Brendon Urie was involved in quite the few controversies a few years ago. Just wondering if any of you have boycotted Panic since that all went down. I'm still on the fence on how I feel about it all.

I know he apologized but that doesn't exactly erase the harm caused. But at the same time it was such a long time ago. I'd like to hear some other perspectives on this.

Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey, is partly filmed on occupied land of the Sahara. Could he have chosen another desert? Will you be boycotting? I certainly will.

From what I understand RISE is basically part of PBP. Anyway I sent a message directly from the RISE website to ask a few questions about the organisation before making my final decision to join, that was almost a week ago.

I'm not sure if it's a case of them being a small group of volunteers who may have not got back to me yet or if I am better to email PBP directly? If anyone has had any experience working with them, if you could offer any advice.

I want to get more involved with leftist activism in my free time, so would be great to get the ball rolling.

Thanks in advance

Wouldn't mind seeing an Am I The Eejit subreddit? I'm sure it would be gas. I can only image what people would be posting.

… they view a desire to transition to socialism or communism as unnecessary or a step to far.

So my thoughts on this is, it’s kind of like trying to patch up a broken boat with styrofoam. You can keep hiding the cracks but sooner or later they keep resurfacing. As this solution is not sustainable.

Then of course they usually love to throw in the tired old arguments that socialism has been tried and failed. Debatable. A long with you’d have none of the infrastructure we have today without capitalism. Personally I think we would, it would just maybe look a bit different and operate in a more just fashion. The worst thing a socialist society could do, is get rid of the Elon Musks of the world. And “by get rid of” I am literally talking about their disproportional accumulation of wealth and money hoarding.

How would you articulate a rebuttal to die hard capitalists?

Would love to get more involved in left wing activism. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Or possibly social based groups for adults over 40. Would love to connect more with others in the LGBTQ in Ireland. Not looking for dating groups btw, as I'm happily married, just looking to meet ore like minded LGBTQ people.

​

Would be interested in getting more involved in the ground. Boycotting animal products can only go so far.

David Ramms interviews Veganuary founder Matthew Glover. Matthew discusses his new project, Project Slingshot, and answers some tough questions about this bold strategy.

A new strategy that promotes wider awareness regarding the barbaric practices in animal factory farming.

So I think I may have rubbed some of my fellow vegans the wrong way with my stance on this over on another vegan subreddit. I'm on team philosophy on this one. But I'd like to hear some thoughts and takes in this subreddit community?

I usually say veganism is a philosophy, that happens to inform us of the most ethical diet (plant based diet). But it's main core focus must be animal rights., which obviously leads to ethical clothing, skincare, haircare and of course activism. We are more than vegetarianism with extra steps in my opinion.

He's absolutely correct here. America is a world power and what happens in America affects the entire world. When trade deals change, when wars break out, when poor decisions that impact the environment, we all suffer.

And the interesting thing is, the only people that tell non-Americans their politics are none of their business, is when the opinion being stated isn't inline with theirs. Have you ever seen a right wing person from outside the US be criticised by a right wing American? Of course not, if they kiss their asses they get a free pass somehow.

Now that is what I call justice. Sorry Trumpy but your racist policy has been denied. It is safe to say allowing him authority to oversee elections would be a total disaster. There is enough fascism going on in the US government right now as it is, someone had to pull the brakes on this lunatic. Well done to that judge. There is at least some justice in this crazy world.

Clearly this is now sadly a regular occurrence with ICE when it comes to corruption of power and unlawful arrests.

>"Rahman's arrest on Jan. 13 was caught on camera and thrust her into the national spotlight. Agents pulled her from her car on the way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis ...

>... officers "ignored her requests for disability accommodations and deteriorating health" until she fell unconscious on the floor of her cell ..."

The Trump administration must be held accountable for this injustice and ICE need to be investigated. Ideally it would be best if they were abolished. But an investigation would be something

So you may have noticed r/SocietyAndCulture is looking a little different. Well originally I set this space to act as a replacement for one of my favourite categories on the former Q&A website known as Yahoo Answers. So some of the design choices have a bit of a Yahoo-ish feel.

That does not mean that this sub is turning into a Q&A only sub, this is still a discussion sub. But it will now cover the full range sub-categories of Yahoo Answers Society & Culture category, in addition to some already present on the sub. This will be done through the use of post flares. All new posts will require a post flare from this point.

The new and updated post flares are now as follows:

• Activism
• Community Service
• Elder Citizens
• Etiquette
• General Society & Culture Issues
• Historical
• Holidays
• Languages
• LGBTQ
• Mythology & Folklore
• People With Disabilities
• Other Cultures & Groups
• Politics
• Polls
• Religion & Spirituality
• Royalty
• Vegan & Vegetarian
• Questions

If I've missed any, please let me know and I'll make the relevant changes.

I know its been discussed on the CMF sub. But haven't seen anyone post about this here so thought I'd share. What are your thoughts on this? Will this ram problem ever be resolved so smaller tech companies like Nothing can survive?
