I guess possibly tighter/slimmer clothing might work? Depends a lot on exact body shape and such.

Maybe combine slimmer pants with sort of a poofy shirt/sweater? Mostly just spitballing but thats my first idea at least.

Earrings or other facial jewelry can help give that effect too I think, but might also give the impression of like a metalhead I guess.

This really just is a kind of passive and mild liberal statement that if he were actually around to say it today he would be rightfully called out for using media cop speak instead of actually naming what the Palestinians have been victims of as genocide and ethnic cleansing.

I can see very few reasons that this guy is enshrined as some sort of martyr rather than a spicy liberal who picked the easiest target in American politics to dissent on then more or less was passive or in support of every Kissingeresque action that was taken afterwards.

Sorry, he doesn't get to be on the team, he thought bombing Libya and raping Gaddafi to death was fucking awesome and hoped the same would be done to Iran, that motherfucker can greet Kissinger in hell personally.

Reminder on this day that Anthony Bourdain thought bombing Libya back to slavery was fucking sick(positive), said he wanted the same thing to happen to Iran, and if he were alive today he would absolutely support flattening Gaza to get Hamas.

Another hot food take, saw a tweet that was volcanically angry about a clip of a fine dining etiquette guy peeling a banana with a knife and fork, and tbh fine dining is just so marginal in that way that to me its like getting angry about gnomes or something, aristocratic fine diners may as well be fairytale guys to me.

Worse is upper middleclass people who get fascistically icked out if any food has the slightest resemblance to the natural state of the ingredients, like whole animal roasts or some shit like that getting posted on twitter and 500 bri'ish tech consultants quote tweet it with genocidal proclamations about immigrants. Not even like the Habsburgs tweet about fine dining, they tweet the worst thanksgiving slop of all time.

Maybe GBV is like a much more specific terminology than I was aware of beforehand but reading through the site and the linked accounts it kind of comes off like "Gender" Based Violence in a rather euphemistic way.

Also the only structure that seems to be explicitly targeted and mentioned is the Canadian Military covering up sexual violence.

It does sound like just from this overview that theres kind of a blind spot in regards to black and indigenous men being targeted for police violence, in general actually looking at the linked teachers toolkit there doesnt seem to be ANY material relating to police and state violence?

That seems particularly concerning when the article critiques the old framing of gender based violence as a matter of individual responsibility, and instead talks about analysing structural violence in terms of like housing market or healthcare, but seems to sort of just not particularly focus on the most directly violent power structures in society?

Theres several downloadable bits of material for human trafficking by comparison, which is of course good but its a noticeable gap in focus.

Someone needs to fucking go around to all these psychiatrists and slap them with a "keep it simple, stupid."

Its a very simple thing, if you're a hostage stuck in one place, you're a citizen of this fucking bank vault or this cellar or whatever, not a citizen of Sweden who is concerned about matters of criminality and economy. And when you're stuck in there, the people holding you hostage, however polite or impolite they might be, are offering to get you out of there in exchange for concessions, their goal results in you being let go.

Very simple from that point of view, so then if the state is like, alright we'll take that deal, you're gonna be pretty happy with them for arranging that without much fuss, if instead they tell you that you have a duty to die for your country, and that they will not take the deal but instead start a firefight or start bombing the whole place, you're not gonna be very happy, because your life has been calculated and valued below the priority of punishing criminality and ensuring the bank doesnt get robbed.

You're gonna be pretty fucking unhappy with that situation, and the longer it goes on and the more your captors are trying to arrange a deal, and particularly if they are being polite and relatively considerate about the whole thing, you're gonna be more concerned with who is resolving the situation rather than who is responsible for it in the first place, because time is fucking linear and the past cant be changed but the future can, simple concept.

Found a new absolute peak example of calvinball psychology.

"Torture is considered ineffective because the victims will invent completely imagined information to appease their torturers, this proves Stockholm Syndrome is real."

Complete nonsense, how fucking long until I have to see some moron say that following laws to avoid punishment by the justice system is fucking evidence of Stockholm Syndrome, christ. Talking to the police is Stockholm Syndrome, paying your bills is Stockholm Syndrome, returning someones wallet is fucking Stockholm Syndrome like what the fuck.
