bonjour,

Je suppose que c’est non populaire vu le nombre de gens qui s’en plaignent sur Reddit.

J’ai travaillé 6 ans en grande surface en parallèle de mes études, et en effet, la politique de l’entreprise était que les parents avaient la priorité sur les jours de congé à poser. Nous les étudiants en CDI/les employés sans enfants on pouvait choisir après selon les dates disponibles.

chaque année même scandale dans l’équipe : les étudiants qui se plaignent que c’est pas normal, que c’est eux qui ont choisi d’avoir des enfants et ils devraient pas en subir les consequences, etc.

je n’ai JAMAIS compris pourquoi ça posait problème. Pour moi c’est de la galanterie (?) ou juste de la décence. Ca me paraît évident que Nathalie, 45 ans et 3 enfants à plus de contraintes que moi et à moins de créneaux pour ses vacances. Je trouve ca presque méchant de s’en plaindre….Bref j’avoue que ça me choque à chaque fois de voir des topics sur le sujet

While thousands die in the Islamic Republic’s bloody crackdown, the progressive left remains silent, exposing a stark double standard.

London | No freedom flotilla with Greta Thunberg on board has set sail for the Persian Gulf. No protest march has gridlocked city centres. No uni student has pitched a tent. No celebrity exhorted “Free Iran” at an awards show.

As Iran’s hardline Islamic rulers tottered, conspicuous has been the lack of encouragement among the political left for the brave protesters standing up to a brutal regime, or condemnation that thousands have been killed in a bloody crackdown on dissent.

It stands in contrast to the industrial-scale protest campaign levelled against Israel for more than two years since the October 7, 2023 terror attack by Hamas militants that killed 1200 Israelis and saw another 250 taken hostage.

This is not to say that the ferocity of Israel’s response, which destroyed much of Gaza and left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead, is beyond reproach, but simply that activists invite scrutiny for double standards.

Yasmine Mohammed, a Canadian author of Egyptian and Palestinian background who at 19 was forced into marriage with an Al-Qaeda operative, says progressives’ silence on Iran is a case of mutual convenience.

“They see Iran as anti-Israel and anti-Trump, so it’s like the enemy of my enemy [is my friend],” she says. “This is extra vicious and inhumane, as they can see how brutally the regime is murdering people, and they shrug.”

“They don’t care about Iranian lives. They don’t care about Yemeni lives. They don’t care about Nigerian lives. They only care if they can blame America or Israel. Their allegiance is to whoever is against them, not to supporting innocent people being killed.”

Mohammad, who describes herself as a campaigner against Islamic fundamentalism and antisemitism, believes many pro-Palestinian protesters never knew what they were protesting.

“They scream about anti-colonialism and then support the ideology that colonised a quarter of the planet. It’s absurd,” Mohammad tells The Australian Financial Review. “What about the fact that Iranian people were colonised by this regime? That Iranian people are fighting to decolonise their country? They are inconsistent with every assertion.”

“They scream about queers for Palestine, not realising homosexuality is punishable by death under sharia. They are even happy to support sharia, clearly, as they chant support for Hamas and the Islamic regime in Iran.

“The only consistency they have is to always be on whatever side is anti-West, anti-America, anti-Israel. They will never condemn a regime that kills thousands of its citizens in a matter of days if that same regime also chants ‘Death to America, Death to Israel’.”

Alastair Campbell, the former spin doctor to Tony Blair and now co-host of the popular Rest is Politics podcast, makes a similar point about the reluctance of the left of politics to denounce Iran.

“I’m a progressive. I think that because Israel and Trump are so voluble about Iran, I think sometimes my side of the political fence finds it hard to come and actually [say] ‘This is a truly awful regime, and we should be standing up for the people of Iran,’” he says.

“There are people on the left that kind of … you know, basically, you sometimes feel they’re standing up for the regime in Iran rather than the people.

“I think the one thing that might turn this into a different place is if the Trump-Netanyahu approach is matched alongside it by more progressive political voices, saying these guys have got their days numbered.”

Masih Alinejad, an Iranian journalist who has been targeted by the regime’s assassins, argues that the suffering of everyday Iranians does not fit the narrative of the left.

“The silence of the left and liberals in America, in Europe, is not an accidental silence,” she said in a US media interview this week. “It is an ideological silence because they believe the suffering of Iranian women, Iranian men, thousands of people being killed or injured, it is not something they can talk about because it will expose their hypocrisy, it will expose how they sympathise with our killers, Islamist terrorists.”

Casey Babb, a Canadian security and antisemitism expert, is blunt.

“It was over six weeks into Israel’s war with Hamas that the death toll in Gaza reached 12,000 – of which thousands were terrorists,” Babb says. “It’s taken the Iranian regime 16 days to kill that many people – all of whom were civilians. Where’s the genocide crowd now?”

Even when the killing gets too much for even the most ardent leftist to ignore, the criticism of Iran degenerates to both-sides-isms.

Jeremy Corbyn, the former UK Labour leader, said while he was appalled by the killings in Iran, interference by external powers must also be resisted.

“The US president’s latest threats of military intervention against Iran – following last year’s attacks by the US and Israel, on top of years of crushing sanctions – can only heighten the risk of bloodshed and a wider regional war,” he said on social media.

But the lack of condemnation from the left on Iran cannot be wholly tied to events in Gaza. Left-wing activists and politicians have long given Iran a leave pass from criticism, despite its abysmal record on human rights since the mullahs seized power in the 1979 Islamic revolution.

In a column for the UK Daily Telegraph this week, English author and journalist Jake Wallis Simons pointed to the support prominent left-wing intellectuals Michel Foucault and Edward Said gave at the time to the revolution, which deposed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and ended Iran’s monarchy.

Said framed the revolution as a product of postcolonialism, the theory he devised in which the Euro- and US-centric West had exploited and suppressed the Middle Eastern, African and Asian East countries that had been colonies or vassal states.

“If Iranian workers, Egyptian students, Palestinian farmers resent the West or the US, it is a concrete response to the specific policy injuring them as human beings,” Said wrote in Time magazine in April 1979, several months after the revolution.

The Shah was seen as a juicy target for the Iranians’ ire. He was pro-American and regarded as heading a corrupt regime that ruled with a repressive secret police force, the SAVAK.

But Said’s thesis ignores the religious dimension to the Shah’s overthrow. The events of 1979 are recorded in the history books as the Islamic Revolution just as much as the Iranian Revolution.

The regime’s enforcers are known as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. And Iran’s two supreme leaders at that time have been clerics – Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and, since 1989, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

While the left-wingers may be keeping mum on Iran’s abuses, what is also telling is the lack of support for Tehran from other countries.

Durham University Middle East expert, Professor Anoush Ehteshami, says Iran has not made many allies outside the Shia Muslim world, and even Shia-majority countries such as Azerbaijan have little solidarity with Tehran.

“Global South countries have no desire to risk the wrath of US for the sake of rhetorical support for Tehran,” he says. “In Western circles, its regime is not popular. Its allies in China and Russia have no interest in agitating on its behalf. In the region, the Arab countries don’t have much love for it. So, Tehran is genuinely lonely.”

Lonely Iran may be. But silence can be golden for a regime with its back against the wall.

In real life, on reddit & on various social media sites: maximalist trans activists have disproportionate influence over lesbian spaces.

Major lesbain subreddits are largely controlled by maximalist trans activists. Lesbians are often canceled if they state they are not open to dating trans women.

Lesbians had more social spaces & more free speech 15 years ago, that much is clear. I am a trans woman and I have seen this happen for years. I speak about it frequently.

It needs to stop! Lesbians should not be shamed if they disagree with maximalist trans activism. Discourse is the solution, not censorship.

Okay, I get it, I would also be upset if one of my favorite books that turned into series changed or shifted one of the love interest or relationship one of my favorite characters, but that does not mean I would not like it or hate it before it came out, what I would do is that wait for a while so the episode would come up, so I can try to be less prejudiced and more open minded. I mean of course not every book series that turned into is going to be %100 accurate about every aspect. The plot can change, the backrounds doesnt have to be exactly I imagined, characters can change. But the most importantly, the characters gender can change too. Also, if you are going to hate a show just because of this, there is a simple thing you can do. Do not watch it. You can hate personally, but that does not mean you can make it worse for people who are liking it, or a fan of it.

1. Announce that you are going to reduce prices of pvp gear to actually let people have fun + tell people to not buy gear

2. Randomly announce honor increase from 100% to 150% of already bad honor gains, btw this change is very minimal like 30% as , which makes your 500 average games to 600 average, in the long run meaning nothing at all or one extra game if you needed 10 game per item.

3. Dont say a thing about cost reductions and let people guess

4.Dont reduce the cost of the gear at all, giving middle finger to everyone

PS: to all blizzard defenders, this is not how you communicate, they are misleading their players and dont care about anything they say or do

Can't wait for Shyvana's rework!

- I created the poster from Google Gemini

Anybody who ships her with Shinji I hope you rot in hell. If Shinji was a girl and she was an older man people would see it VERY differently but no it’s ok because she’s “hot” 🥺🥺

Dont wanna do sob stories as its against the rules so ill just say i dont like how i look due to some things that happened. Nice words, advice, suggestions welcome. I tried to show unedited pictures, but they are still flattering.

Lets be real here, dont do that. Dont go to someone wall and just chew their pic because they use AI.

Just dont destroy their stuff.

Also chewing it is gross

I kmow you said AI user destroy the nature but chewing it? CHEWING IT??? AND SPITS IT OUT ON TO THE FLOOR???? DISGUSTING!!!

För er som inte redan vet, Vänsterpartiet (tidigare VPK) var bokstavligen trogna anhängare till Sovjetunionen.

Under flera decennier hyllade partiledningen diktatorer som Stalin och Mao, och skickade gratulationsvågor till förtryckande regimer. Det här är ingen hemlighet och det har aldrig varit någon fråga om det är sant eller ej. Partiet var en del av Komintern och tog emot order från Moskva – vi snackar om samma ideologi som låg bakom Gulag, svältkatastrofer och systematiskt förtryck.

Blir så less på ungdomar/bots som ständigt försvarar V på TikTok, Youtube, etc. Visst, rösta på vafan du vill, men vet VAD du röstar på. En Google-sökning på 'VPK och diktaturkramande' så har ni svaren, det är inte så komplicerat.

This is going to be a long post. I hope this is the right sub for this, but I need to rant about this somewhere before I implode.

I live in Mississippi, I'm 33 years old, born here, but I come from Irish immigrants. Anyway, my parents, who are in their 70s, all they will watch and/or believe is Fox News. They are Republicans. I am neither Democrat nor Republican, never have been either, and never will be. I am an independent and free thinking person who has a lot of trust issues with my government regardless of who is in office.

Normally, I just let them be and don't debate or argue with them much on political matters. Not being Republican or Democrat has me disagreeing with a lot of people often so I've learned to just let people have their opinion and mind my business. However, since this whole immigration thing started, I've found it difficult to be silent.

I'm an American citizen, but all my coworkers are immigrants, I've worked with them all for 5 years now. I've seen their fear, I've listened to them talk about this and how it affects them. They are good people, some of them feel more like close friends than just coworkers. I love these people and they feel like family to me. Me and another American coworker always talk about how if ICE came to our job, we'd help them, we'd intervene, we'd do whatever to keep them from being taken, you know.

Then Renee Good, an American citizen, same age and complexion as me, gets executed. So now I'm scared, scared for myself because as anyone knows people with Irish blood are defiant then I'm scared for my coworkers as well. My other American coworker? I sent her the videos, every video from angle of the Renee Good incident, she witnessed this with her own eyes, just like the rest of the world did. Yet she still choose to believe the government's gaslighting statement they came out with. Saying she deserved it and even praising the murderer and basically repeating what the government told her to believe. It disturbed me so much that I was quiet the rest of the shift. I was shocked that she could take such a stance. Well its been some days since then and now I'm just mad.

Then there's the issue with my parents. We have debated and argued this for hours everyday for the last 3 days. I should also add that we are a Christian family. I am very much Christian and this especially doesn't set right with me because of that. So today, I'm thinking like they're just old and only been exposed to one source of news which hardly even counts as news and functions more like propaganda so maybe if I educate them then they'll understand. Wrong. I was so wrong.

I showed them the videos of what happened to Renee, I showed them a video of a German girl interviewing her grandparents who survived during Hitler's reign. I showed them a preacher speaking about how this administration's behavior goes against everything that Christianity stands for. I showed them the verses in the Bible about how to treat foreigners in your land. Leviticus 19:33-34, Exodus 22:21, Deuteronomy 27:19, Psalm 146:9, and along with the "love thy neighbor" and had a video of preacher to support my argument with. What bothers me is that my parents claim Christianity, the Republican party claims Christianity, but the lack of healthcare isn't Christian like. Jesus healed poor people. Then the Bible explicitly says, "do not mistreat or oppress the foreigner in your land." But my parents will believe Trump over God's word even when he goes against it. I don't understand this. Are they being brainwashed by propaganda?

They've seen the videos too and yet they still believe that she somehow deserved it, they are actually denying what they have seen with their own eyes over what the government said. It's maddening and I cannot wrap my head around it. They literally gaslit an entire nation with this. Like we seen what happened then we seen what Trump and his puppets had to say. Their words contraindict what we saw. This is the psychological definition of gaslighting. Yet so many people have fallen for it. Make it make sense.

Then there's this whole "Trump Derangement Syndrome" nonsense. How is disagreeing with a political person now considered a syndrome...? My parents seen some preacher on TV say that Trump was "appointed by God," but that's not what other preachers are saying, other preachers are saying this administration's behavior is anti biblical behavior, and they have scripture to back it up. This one preacher they saw had no scripture to back up these egotistical claims about Trump. Yet they really believed him about this. It's really scary to me to see people who claim to be Christian worshipping the president like he's God instead of following Jesus like the whole Bible literally tells us to do. That is some psychotic level blindness.

I cannot speak out and criticize Trump in any way or they start calling me a "liberal," which I am not. I've explained to them a thousand times that I am on neither side, I didn't vote for Trump. I didn't vote for Biden. They have even listened to me criticize both Biden and Trump. I've been a felon since I was 18 so I've never voted anyway because I've never had voting rights to do so. They defend him no matter what. Just like they were praising him for talking about intervening in Iran because Iran is killing their protesters, but I pointed out that ICE killed an American protester and is threatening to send in US military against US protesters and asked them how does that make America any different from Iran? They couldn't give me a logical answer, they just started blindly defending him.

I've showed them countless videos of the undeserving terror some of these immigrants are going through. You know the ones, the ones where they're getting kids, threatening people, being violent first, kidnapping people who clearly aren't even criminals. I even got them to sit down and watch the documentary on Netflix "Living Undocumented," this was an attempt to evoke some sort of empathy from them so that they'd start to care and understand that we are ALL just human beings trying to make it in a screwed up world and work and eat and take care of our loved ones. They still don't get it though. So I don't understand.

My grandparents survived WW2, my grandpa served and fought on the beaches of Normandy. My parent's parents. So they had to of heard firsthhand accounts of what those times were like, my grandpa is deceased now, but how I wish I could ask him his thoughts. I even pulled up a chatgpt comparison of Trump vs Hitler, ICE vs Nazis, etc. They still believe Trump all over this evidence.

Then I see comments all over social media from people in other countries telling us to do something. What can we do? This is what we're dealing with. The education system here has failed the majority of people by design. Free thinkers are punished. Having a sliver of intelligence in this country puts you in the minority. We aren't free, that's just propaganda that the US feeds to the international community. I seriously think that the masses of America have been brainwashed by propaganda.

Then its difficult for me as an individual because since I'm "white," people just assume I'm racist when I'm not. Because I'm Christian, people assume I'm hateful when I'm not, I'm super loving and patient and kind. Too patient sometimes. Then the area I'm in, my town, is majority immigrants and yes, ICE visits our town, so I've witnessed firsthand some of the horrors and the pain and the atrocities that immigrants are facing. It breaks my heart for them.

I also don't want war with Europe. That's another issue that they are being brainwashed on. If Greenland is NATO then we already are defending them, we don't need to own it to defend it. Which is obviously another lie from this administration. Yet people here in the states are buying it. So many people in America lack critical thinking skills. I'm not sure if they are purposefully in denial and turning a blind eye on purpose or if they are seriously that incredibly misinformed.

I told my parents that if we go to war with Europe, I stand with Europe. They said, "you're American!" and I said, "my blood isn't, I stand with my people" like to be technical, white people are "immigrants" too. So I've decided that since I can't change anything here, I'm just going to continue working and save money as much as I can and immigrate to another country soon as possible. It'd be one thing to stay and fight for this country if my fellow Americans weren't so ignorant and brainwashed, but I've officially concluded that its time to jump ship.

Okay, rant over. Thank you for reading. Feel free to comment.
