I'm a minority (autism), I don't need a safe space.

Thank you for sharing your personnal experience. I am glad that your personnality and life experience don't make you feel the need for a safe space, that's uplifting.

This being said, other people from minorities seem to have a different viewpoint and consider safe spaces are important/necessary. The fact that some individuals don't need one doesn't negate the need (and right) of others individual to create these safe spaces.

I need people to stop being authoritarian and communicate with eachother.

That's great, but it's also within peoples' rights to choose who they want to communicate with and to filter that by interest, values or other factors.
I find it important that depending on my energy levels and my mental health I can choose who I engage with.

If only minorities were authoritarian, then there would be no issue. Since they'd be just a minority. It wouldn't be noticed.I.
t's clearly the majority that deal the blow. Logical, right?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean there, could you explain a bit more?

Because you are usually subjected to a lot less abuse when you're a ciswhitehetmale in a NW country.
This usually leads to a different need for safe spaces, like-minded communities and blocking people than oppressed groups.

Macron is a POS.

This is only the start of his virtue signaling declarations with no intent to follow through to see if polls get good enough for him to re-trigger legislative elections.
He fired the national representation and triggered legislatives elections in 2024, hoping to gain a better majority but ended up losing to the left.
He wants to try again, but he had to wait 1 year (because constitution) and that wait period comes to an end... in June.

Macron has learned a lesson from Trump: reality doesn't matter. He's been denying real, established facts and lying like no president before him for a few years now.
Don't mistake him for a good guy, he's just doing a tiny bit better than actual fascists.

Ps: it's 2025, maybe we could stop using "having balls" as an expression of courage?

I'm not getting this one, would you like to explain what it's about?

Remember the first persons to be harassed, assassinated, detained, sent to concentration camps were german citizen.
The first who tried to resist Hitler's power, sabotage infrastructure, retrieve and send confidential informations to the allies were german citizen.
A lot of germans were the good guys in ww2 (and afterwards for that matter).
Whatever the conflict, let's not forget that [country X leadership] is not the same as [country x as a whole].

True. And so am I for letting them get awaywith it.

Our current government is openly pro-israel and anti-palestinian, we're not gonna do squat.
They've been calling any criticism towars bibi and any palestinian support antisemitic for the past 2 years - and most of the billionaires-controlled media has happily done the same.
Even if soldiers are killed, it's gonna be labeled a communication incident or some shit.

We still have DEI policies focusing on gender, disability and on socio-economic background (which does correlate with ethnicity in a lot of places). Of course in a lot of companies it's mostly for show, but in some it's done with a sincere will and has real effects.

I do agree, I'm just not surprised it wasn't done this way at the start and I'm not bothered enough by it to want a change.

Much more so than having a car-centric infrastructure. If you start cherry-picking you'll of course find cases where a car would have been more efficient but public transportation needs to be understood as a whole.

AFAIK, arch never pretended to cater to new linux/cli users, I've always read it as a recommandation for advanced (or at least comfortable with reading docs and using CLI) users.
My first time using arch required me following the arch wiki for install and when I finally got a working system (I'm as bad at following tutorials as I am at following cooking recipes) the pacman commands were not something I struggled with.
But yeah coming from Debian where I had the gloriously intuitive apt syntax, I get your point.

I still believe there are democracies in America but the US of A aren't one of them.
