  • The offset doesn't seem to really happen until 153 BCE as noted by the link. Numa, who ruled around 700 BCE, is is only reported to have made January the first month by Plutarch who wrote that in 43 CE.

    The link get the gist of the issue correct, but sort of collapses the military issue into an extension of the Second Punic War. By 154 BCE, Rome had successfully expelled the Carthagenians from Hispania and maintain control of the region for 40 years. Local uprisings would occur and if the Praetor couldn't deal with it, the Cousulors would be elected and assigned the province to march to and deal with using their newly raised legion.

    But the Celtiberian tribe uprising had grown sufficiently strong that it required some real effort. One of the Counsulors elected in154 BCE was to march to his province. He died eight days into his trip. This was a problem. We don't know what province he was going to, but it could have been one of Hispania provinces.

    The other Counsulor successfully dealt with the uprising in his province, but had no legal right to go to another province with his legion. In July the election of the follow year's cousulors took place, but they wouldn't assume office until March 15th, the political start of the year. By December it became clear they needed troops in Hispania like yesterday.

    So the senate moved the start date of the year, both civic and political, to January 1st.

  • That makes sense. The use of violence here is to control the workers and the rest of society. It gets everyone back in line during a crisis reminding people that they have the power, not only to exploit them, but to also kill, imprison, and immiserate. Get in line and you'll be better off. Work for us help get people in line and you'll be better off than them.

  • From the AP article.

    The assignment was for a psychology class about lifespan development. Students were asked to write a 650-word response to an academic study that examined whether conformity with gender norms was associated with popularity or bullying among middle school students.

    “Please note that I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs,” the instructor wrote in feedback obtained by The Oklahoman. Instead, the instructor said the paper did “not answer the questions for the assignment.”

    The paper “contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive” the criticism went on.

    The article links to the essay, but not to the referenced paper. Does anyone have a link to the original paper?

    Edit: The Wikipedia article has sa link to the academic paper. In the Wikipedia page, it's claimed that another instructor reviewed the grade and agreed with the zero. I don't have the rubric, so I can't judge for myself, but I wonder other than not turning in the paper or mentioning that there was a paper to read, what would earn you a zero? Her paper was a rant.

  • Both the articles were written in January 2024, ten months before the election. They weren't analyzing the 2024 elections. There is no possibiliy of mentioning elderly white folks ev

    They never mention whiteness anywhere in either article and the FT article is explicitly a global take mentioning Germany, UK, South Korea, Tunisia, and China.

    There is nothing in the FT article implicitly or explicitly blaming "young white boys". It is saying that when there is an ideological gap between young men and women, it has sociological implications.

    I agree that the larger media narrative blames young white men's regressive turn for the Trump presidential win and not elderly white folks or white Gen X women, but this is not that article.

  • What they are explicitly saying, and not implying at all is, "Korea’s is an extreme situation, but it serves as a warning to other countries of what can happen when young men and women part ways. Its society is riven in two."

    They are not implying the specifics of how the election unfolded in South Korea bears clear resemblance to the US like you stated.

    This is a silly discussion because you did read the FT article, speculated wildly, and now are defending your bad take with a vague and baffling two sentence defense. Construct an actual argument.

  • From the article:

    The #MeToo movement was the key trigger, giving rise to fiercely feminist values among young women who felt empowered to speak out against long-running injustices. That spark found especially dry tinder in South Korea, where gender inequality remains stark, and outright misogyny is common.

    In the country’s 2022 presidential election, while older men and women voted in lockstep, young men swung heavily behind the right-wing People Power party, and young women backed the liberal Democratic party in almost equal and opposite numbers.

    Korea’s is an extreme situation, but it serves as a warning to other countries of what can happen when young men and women part ways. Its society is riven in two. Its marriage rate has plummeted, and birth rate has fallen precipitously, dropping to 0.78 births per woman in 2022, the lowest of any country in the world.

    Seven years on from the initial #MeToo explosion, the gender divergence in attitudes has become self-sustaining. Survey data show that in many countries the ideological differences now extend beyond this issue. The clear progressive-vs-conservative divide on sexual harassment appears to have caused — or at least is part of — a broader realignment of young men and women into conservative and liberal camps respectively on other issues.
