  • Reading "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Le Guin, did she forget about the singular "they" while writing this?

    Jump

  • She was already criticizing the generic „he“ while writing the book. It probably wouldn’t be bothering me so much if there weren’t entire passages debating it every few chapters without mentioning the possibility of the singular „they“.

  • Singular they may not have been used as a personal pronoun until recently, but that doesn’t mean writers haven’t been using it to refer to persons. It was frequently used to conceal a character’s gender by Shakespeare, for example.

    It seems odd to me for the thought of using it to refer to persons of a people without gender didn’t occur to Le Guin even while she was writing passages debating the biases of using the generic „he“ and its alternatives.

  • 'I Don't Hate the Americans': Latest Lego Video Promotes Empathy Between People of US and Iran | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Oh I absolutely agree. Both sides are very much complicit. I just get the image from your comments that you seem to believe that the Iranian government is somehow innocent in this, and I cannot agree with that.

  • 'I Don't Hate the Americans': Latest Lego Video Promotes Empathy Between People of US and Iran | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • The official stance of the Iranian Government is that ~3000 people were killed, ~2400 of which were civilians. Even if you choose to only believe the statement put out by the perpetrators, you still have to acknowledge that they killed multiple thousands of unarmed protestors.

    If you think that shooting at civilian protestors, regardless of how much they were incited by the enemy, is in any way acceptable, then I don’t see how you can claim moral superiority.

    The enemy of your enemy is not your friend.

  • It’s just false. Most Germans were (and still are) protestant, and protestants were overrepresented in the NSDAP.

    The Italian fascists were catholic, though.

    Also are you under the impression that all of the Ukraine looks like Gaza now? I think you’re underestimating how big the country is and how hard it would be to bomb all of it
