Unsurprisingly, they’re not.

We did all the libertining in the 90s and 00s. They were pretty wild.
And you could argue that the overall permissiveness of society is a part of what the reactionary conservatives are violently railing against.

The Houthi, and other Zayidi Shia groups, have been discriminated against legally and culturally since the at least the 80s. (At least in part a response to Zaydi rule during the Ottoman Period).
I can’t find straight ethnic group numbers, but most sources state them to be a minority, so I’d assume that that’s the largest single smaller than 50% group. And given the diversity of peoples in Yemen, makes the religious aspect more important.Not all good though, the Houthi movement could (should) be doing better on treatment of Bahaï and Jewish people, and the treatment of women could be better, but the Houthi forces are also engaged in combat with Al Qaeda, who would be much worse.

The stated goal is to push for the alienation of Israel until it ends the crimes against humanity it is committing in Gaza.

Since how dare an exploited ethnic minority have some of its members turn to violence against a hostile state.

Might be worth giving it a try if we care about human life.

Semjaza@lemmynsfw.comtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•what are they bombing yemen for?English2·3 months agoBy that logic shouldn’t Israel stop the crimes against humanity it’s currently undertaking in Gaza if it doesn’t want shipping attacked?
The person who was meant to be a girl but the mum chose boy and forced it on them with birth despite knowing that forcing them to be the wrong one would be dangerous?
John Q. (formerly Citizen) had citizenship revoked for refusing to demonise transpeople.
We simply removed an upto $500 amount to cover the administration costs of using X-Zen®.
Yes. It’s been quite a big thing last 10 years or so.

The fact that the US companies can’t even get their voice recognition to follow other US accents but still think that they’re ready for global rollout.
You’re right in that we should encourage non-Yankspeak English search engines. It would be a good way to attempt to stymie the loss of our own culture.
Semjaza@lemmynsfw.comtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Wishing the best of luck to both parties hereEnglish3·4 months agoI don’t even have a broad British accent, generic middle class southern, but most speech to text can’t follow me well since I don’t speak Yank.
The (certain, wealthy parts of the) US centrism is mucho annoying.
Miniature wargaming… 40K is especially fascy.
They’ve tried for punk subculture.
Been pretty successful with metal subculture.
Online nerd-subculture.
I’m sure there are many more… They’re in the op pic after all.
The one where the sacred text explicitly says “no other texts” but everyone decides the various biographies (that they like) of the prophet get to be included as canon too?
Nah, other ideologies create things and can do more than just appropriate.
Fascists haven’t created anything cultural since Leni Reifenstahl. And she was a documentarist.
For Fascists all imagery and symbols are merely empty signifiers for nostalgia, a mythologised past, and a sense of belonging.
The US arms shipments to Britain, and later after the gun runner ship Lustiana, hoping to use its civilian passengers as a shield in breach of the rules of war, led to American popular support for joining with the Allies, which they eventually did to push Germany to defeat despite the newly Sovietised Russia withdrawing.
And it might be that Dixieland and Yankeeland would support the Allies and Axis, and WWI would have had an American theatre, too opening in 1915 or so. And any major war fought in North America in the 20th century would totally alter the form US neo imperial power and hegemony took, if any at all, in the latter part of the 20th century.
As a minimum, a different US would alter how Versaille and Balfour treaties were made and what who agreed to.
I didn’t even mention the Second World War, because the first would’ve been different enough to make it having happened in a familiar form into unlikely.
On the one hand… First World War would’ve ended very differently.
On the other… Maybe eugenics would already be discredited by the 20s with how it went in Dixie.
The big area to push should be on Office.
The new versions of Office with that ribbon are terribly user unfriendly (or maybe just non-basic user unfriendly) so hitting that and pushing Libre Office could net some good adoption.
But I guess that’s competing against GoogleDocs and the like these days… But we don’t wanna give the Big G that data.
