Their review of the results was sobering: The trials on the effect of antidepressants on chronic pain appeared so small, and yielded such poor data across the trials, that they only felt confident about the efficacy of a single one of the 27 antidepressants that were tested,  duloxetine.

Overtourism in Barcelona has meant the locals have been priced out (gentrified) out of their own city.

The government hasn’t backed down. It passed the bill with a timing delay.

The government’s own statistics showed it would drag 250’000 into poverty.

Please don’t minimise it. Losing PIP as a disabled person can kill. Ie. just one case of many

Even the UN and Amnesty International have condemned the cut is problematic source

So please don’t call disabled people who have very real concerns about their survival with this bill “catastrophising”.

Libs at large as well (atleast the European definition of Liberal)

True Democratic National Convention LibJerk. Following DNC practice on dissenters ;)

US joining other auth states like Russia and China.

Not suprising.

Just had to sit through a cowbee lecture about how stalin was actually protecting poland from the Nazis.

This meme and the upvote ratio gives me a bit of hope not everyone is deep in revisionism.

One of the main tactics of MLs is institutional capture…

I never mentioned the Non agression pact. Simply that Stalin and Hitler cooperated in an invasion of Poland. I don’t think that’s deniable.

Also, I’m not sure I’m going to take Cowbee’s take seriously when they frame Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as self defence. And who calls modern CCP controlled China “Democratic”.

We should also clarify how we define "class" which is key to our understanding of power, and which differs from narrower Marxist conceptions. Like power, we see class as a relationship. In this sense, class is defined in relation to ownership or control not only of the means of production (e.g. machinery, land, housing), which we share with Marxism, but also of the means of coercion (e.g. police, military, prisons) and administration (e.g. governmental bodies that create and administer the laws). Those who own or control the means of production, coercion, and administration are part of the dominant classes (e.g. capitalists, political officials, military leadership, police, judges, governors), placing them in a structural position to exploit, oppress, and dominate those who do not, who are part of the dominated classes (e.g. waged, unwaged and precarious workers, the unemployed, and the incarcerated).

I like how they put this.
