So you would say that when referencing a singular specific person of undeterminate gender in the third person we should use is? Because I am quite sure that, if that has ever been correct at all, it certainly isn't now. As per merriam webster: A student was found with a knife and a BB gun in their backpack Monday, district spokeswoman Renee Murphy confirmed. The student, whose name has not been released, will be disciplined according to district policies, Murphy said. They also face charges from outside law enforcement, she said.— Olivia Krauth

Contradicts you as well unless you'd like to argue that "each man are fighting for himself" is correct.

You might want to work on your grammar, my friend.

'Tis meet that some more audience than a mother, since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear the speech."— Shakespeare, Hamlet (1599);

Caesar: "No, Cleopatra. No man goes to battle to be killed." Cleopatra: "But they do get killed" —Shaw, Caesar and Cleopatra (1901);

In an 1881 letter, Emily Dickinson wrote "Almost anyone under the circumstances would have doubted if [the letter] were theirs, or indeed if they were themself."

George Eliot (1859) – Adam Bede: “It is too late to spare anyone when they are dead.”

Anarchism wants to do away with salaries altogether in most cases. Anarchism is about increasing freedom, meaning the ability for an individual to take the actions they want to take. A part of this is ensuring no person is dying of starvation/living on the street/etc.

That's not really a valid argument, as wikipedia is descriptive, not prescriptive. But besides that, yes it does?

Anarchism in it's correct interpretation rejects all hierarchies, be it from the state, white supremacy, the patriarchy or capitalism. Since money is equivalent to power income inequality does inherently imply a hierarchy.

I mean... can you really call it anarchism if you have a n implicit hierarchy? I would say that defeats the point.

We're on the left. The only anarchism is social anarchism.

Hey, we are an anarchist instance, not "anarcho"capitalist. (Look at db0's blog, he might be an ai shill but he's not an ancap)

I did suspect it, but what confirmed was the not-really-crossed legs. I do not think anyone would draw that this way. The fingers are also weird. Humans would draw them too straigtt rather than too wavy.

Ran a quick check. Expected more tbh (slightly nsfw)

Would've worked a lot better if you had used one of the pokemon that actually looks like an animal instead of a ripped dude with claws.
