Tankies and MAGA.

They're the same picture.

They've gotten friendlier with the West in the past few decades. The distrust is for good reason given history of Western foreign interference (colonialism) and the US having a close relationship with Pakistan pre Bin Laden.

I take it here is not in the US.

But even if you're in Sweden or Norway, it shouldn't matter. People are people. And I can also confirm that there are black families that go to IKEA 🤣.

I see it now. Yuck. Thank you.

This sounds like a misrepresentation of left wing politics.

It sounds more like how the right defines the left which brings us to the real issue.

Outrage narratives have grown increasingly popular with social media and the right spends endless time blaring sirens on representing the left a certain way.

The left has in response, done little, to influence the narrative.

I personally have not heard the left as a whole admonishing individual men simply for being men.

I think an honest assessment of society, historically and now, should lead to the conclusion that we live in a male centric society that is gradually becoming less male centric. This is a good thing if you believe in fairness and egalitarianism (ie. not fascism).

It was a little more than 50 years ago that women could not hold credit and were expected to be subservient to their husbands or else be institutionalized for "mental illness".

I think many women see this backlash / desire to go back from conservative men as a skill issue so I'm not suprised they're looking elsewhere.

Believe it or not, black people exist. Maybe not where you live specifically but I can personally confirm they're real.

I’m not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans, and I definitely won’t say that they’re the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn or that they make your butt look amazing.

Why would I need to do that?

But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I’m not going to stop you.

Just so we’re clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans.

Sydney Sweeney has great jeans— you see what I did there, right?

Where is the implication that genes are related to personality though?

I think we can agree that believing blonde hair and blue eyes are 'good genes' is a hitler-approved ideology. Whether this was meant in a malicious way in this ad is what's unclear here.

Social media has accelerated this. No one would know who this guy was in the 90s, for example.

Consumer use of private vehicles and air conditioning / heating absolutely have a non-negligible impact.
