Driving really is the worst form of transport (when it becomes normalised beyond certain use cases)
Here in #Albania, society went through a speed run of 20th century car centric development since the fall of #Hoxha in the 90s and the ensuing civil war. Now, the car's role is well reinforced by a toxic mix of #nationalism, #masculinism, cars as status symbols, habits, and actually locked in infrastructure and commercial choices.
I'll dump some thoughts here...

#PoliticalPower #Feminism #Masculinism #Sexism #MoneyAndPower
I'm starting to think that the question is not "why do men in power so often engage in sexual misconduct?" but "why do some men in power NOT engage in sexual misconduct?". Is the root of all desire for power access to p*ssy? Or is that just a side benefit of power? All the men flocking around #Epstein, including #BillGates. #EricSwallwell. #AndrewTate and his brother. Help me out here, people who have thought deeply on it.

"This Final has become a masterclass in self-inflicted wounds.
"And after a decisive 4-2 loss in Game 5, the Golden Knights better hope the craziness continues because, for the first time in this series, they look like the underdog."
Maybe it's because their goalie is a stinky piece of shit? As a member of the #hockeycanadafive, is he legally or morally a gang rapist? As humans we each get to decide.

Masculinism is so obviously unsuitable as a sustainable way of social Organisation that I don't even bother explaining why.
What remains a challenge though which masculinism sort of points out is the tension in men when it comes to letting go of control.
If all your Rolemodels have been breadwinners then it's really hard to see cohabitation in a relaxed way and embrace the thought that she can support the family just as well.

i doubt that there is any value in my opining w/r/t politics, but i still read craploads of things. one recent thing was an article from #theatlantic where the author said
In this view, the gender split in American politics—55 percent of men but only 46 percent of women voted for Trump in 2024—is not merely a reflection of differing priorities but a problem to be solved.
i mean, i’ve read all about #masculinism, but human men and women don’t don’t have different priorities. empathy is empathy.

A masculinism claim: “…that politics has been deformed by empathy—which is feminine, and therefore “toxic” or “suicidal”. Another [claim] is that men are better suited to political office, business success and religious leadership because their higher levels of testosterone make them risk-takers. Women, by contrast, are the HR managers of the world, always telling you stop that and don’t do this.”

"The “loss of history” could not be more evident. In the face of a process of fragmentation and global military escalation, wherein competition between states and power blocs intensifies, the “anti-imperialist” left invokes the constellation of the first half of the 20th century — marked by world wars between imperial powers and wars of national liberation, responsible for the expansion of national state formations within a context of “state capitalisms”.
As a result, it loses sight of the fact that, instead of an “anti-imperialism” bringing about conditions for liberation, what we now face is a deepening global crisis of the social form itself, within which national liberation struggles made sense and concluded historically.
Rather than an expansion of national formations and sovereignties through wars of national liberation, what we now observe is the decomposition of the modern states themselves formed in this historical process.
(...)
This is a reality that is hard to acknowledge in “realist” analyses that seek to justify the necessity and objectivity of war by resorting to the constellation of wars of liberation. Such analyses have not only clung to theories whose historical reference points have been exhausted, but also to a view of capitalism as an “eternal return” of the same, as if certain forms of social mediation and social dynamics possessed an infinite regenerative capacity and were not themselves subject to a profound crisis that poses challenges for the left.This blind spot of “anti-imperialism,” however, is consistent with the national framing of conflicts, isolating them from their belonging to a dynamic, qualitatively modified global social plane — one defined by the globalisation of production chains and flows of monetary capital — which is at the same time a structural crisis of accumulation."
