I get your point, but capitalism wasn’t always the norm. If you say corps control everything, it’s partially due to a faulty political system and a lack of interest in politics. And for that apathy, the citizens can absolutely be blamed. And again, if there wasn’t a superficial culture in the US where you HAVE to wear brands and drive european cars to not be ousted, there wouldnt be as much consumption. If you treat school like a cat walk, prepare to pay for designer clothes. The parent in the original post blames Nike for marketing. Yes, but if the kids around their kid weren’t pointing and laughing, this kid would feel very confortable to continue to wear sketchers. Kids are a product of their environment, bring them up in a ultra-capitalist environment and all they care about growing up is money and status. And it starts in school already. Group thinking is hugely problematic and not even thematized yet. This ousting because your parents can’t afford G-Star Raw is the only reason I would advocate for school uniforms. Something has to change but just pointing and assigning blame isn’t helping anyone and especially not the kid crying.

dont blame nike, blame the over-consumption introduced by unchecked capitalism. Comparing yourself to your surround has become the norm, leading to an increase in depression and, like you wrote, consuming too much. Americans on average buy 68 new clothing items PER YEAR, PER PERSON!! Maybe dont blame the kids, they are a product of their surrounding. Blame politics, and blame yourself if you have done too little politics in the last decades

bonus points if he drives a F150 but never uses the hatch besides 1 bag of groceries which he forgot to put on the back seat

checkered shirt, brown working boots and trucker cap, is this the US american millenial uniform? Who doesn’t look like this aged 30-50?

sorry if this was unclear, english is not my mother tongue. I meant pedagogy as a whole. Societal norms and manners and such. Not how to cat call a woman lmao

kids are cruel and usually lack any form of empathy, which is why they are “more direct”. Empathy is taught later on. But, taking pictures, sending dickpics, cat calling you are manners and those should have been teached by their parents. This is vile behaviour and those parents should know what their children are doing at school, maybe partially because of the lack of parental education. I am sorry you had to go through that and feel that helpless about it.

ew

any sociological doctorates in here? What does it say about the state of the ruZZian war, when chinas FM weighs in on their vision for the war?

didnt even think about too wide cars using parallel parking in cities. I mean we have the occassional F150 in Munic downtown blocking all trams and traffic because they can’t fit europoor parking lots, but it’s always a spectacle and the owners are more often than not scolded for driving these into crowded spaces where they clearly dont fit. But if this occurance was daily, I bet our cities would only build parking houses too instead of parallels

driving requirements for license are vastly different among european countries, but also state of the cars, more wealthy nations replace older cars more quickly, so countries like Bulgaria and Romania often sit on their cars for sometimes generations. Add to that the constant honking and cutting off people, temperament of the populus

tried googling it also and prompted “which state is easiest to get drivers license?” and one answer was “probably washington, you dont have to parallel park there, just attempt it” and it told me everything I need to know about the safety of US roads

yes but whole africa is developing nations with ultra bad infrastructure like roads and intersections. You should be comparing USA to peering nations, like western europe or countries of the commonwealth. Unless you admit that USA is also third world shit hole

getting a drivers license in mississippi is basically show up to the DMV, suck a cock and drive home or what?

as an inlooking european I gotta say, the republican party always seemed very whack to me, ngl. But then again I would have voted for Bernie, so I am a incorrigable democratic socialist scary communist

Dinosaur Dachau (I know dinosaurs aren’t crocodilians, but I will ignore it since it doesn’t fit my cause)

so in the face of stripping human rights from vulnerable people, you willfully side with the fascists doing said human rights violations. I am from Germany and we went through our history thouroughly in school and I can guarantee you one thing: Any person that advocated for the Nazi cause, were part of the Nazis (even mere infantery cannonfodder), or silenced critiquers were tried in the Nürnberg (Nuremberg) trials as fully guilty. So when the MAGA craze settles, and people look at this situation with a 20 20 vision, I hope you are aware at what you are promoting here. The Hague is there for a reason and any sane person in the western world is just waiting for the trials to begin.

if Nazi Germany was around today, this is the type of shit SS officiers would post on their social media, just to be clear. They are all powerhungry violators of human rights and should ALL be trialed accordingly
