Wow you just disproved all of academic mathematical foundations and philosophy! Congrats!

I don’t think ‘I don’t believe in the axiom of choice’ is an opinion, it’s kind of a weird statement to make because the axiom exists. You can have an opinion on whether mathematicians should use it given the fact that it’s an unprovable statement, but that’s true for all axioms.

Any math that needs the axiom of choice has no real life application so I do think it’s kind of silly that so much research is done on math that uses it. At that point mathematics basically becomes art but it’s art that’s only understood by some mathematicians so its value is debatable in my opinion. <- I suppose that opinion is controversial among mathematicians.

We make mathematical definitions to do math. We can define 0! any way we want but we defined it to be equal to 1 because it fits in nicely with the way the factorial function works on other numbers.

Literally the only reason why mathematicians define stuff is because it’s easier to work with definitions than to do everything from elementary tools. What the elementary tools are is also subjective. Mathematics isn’t some objective truth, it’s just human made structures that we can expand and better understand through applying logic in the form of proofs. Sometimes we can even apply them to real world situations!

They ip ban you if you do that because they consider it ban evasion I believe

Transphobic people regularly use they/them for binary trans people to avoid using their actual pronouns. If you know someone’s pronouns be respectful and use them.

With those standards basically all mainstream US media should be banned for publishing Israeli and US propaganda that defends their genocide on the Palestinians

Wikipedia’s source list is very US biased as wel. They list CIA front Radio Free Asia as trusted source.

Just like Reddit, your lemmy experience is fully dependent on the communities you subscribe to and engage with. There are specific communities that only allow original content, like !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org

Romania for its nature but also its culture that I vibe well with.

And their management bust unions like their lives depend on it.

Unionise your workplace and force your bosses to respect your time.

Your first paragraph is victim blaming. I know several women who grew up in Europe and have ethnicities from various regions in Asia and they experience a lot of racist sexual harassment from strangers on the street. They have no misconceptions about white men. Most avoid white men at all cost.

Browsing lemmy as a marginalised person is very frequently not a comfortable experience :/

Asian women generally face a lot more sexual harassment in western countries than white women because of the idea people have that they’re submissive and ‘traditional’ and won’t defend themselves. If you can’t imagine being fetishised is a bad thing you have serious issues with empathising.

Dating someone who fetishises you means they don’t care about your personality or other traits except for the trait they fetishise. They’ll try to fit you into a racial mould you probably don’t belong to just to satisfy their weird fantasies. They do not care that they hurt you in the process because you’re not a person to them.

Capitalism is exploitation. To prevent workers from fighting the ruling class for better conditions, the ruling class has to divert workers frustration towards other working class people from other countries or other ethnicities.

Racism and nationalism thrive in capitalism. I don’t know if those are more prevalent in Russia than France or Canada. Almost all Western people I know think Western culture is superior and that all countries in the world should Westernise. That’s a very racist and imperialist view. It assumes that developing countries cannot develop and become progressive without Western influence. While the opposite is true, Western governments and corporations destabilise developing countries to exploit their resources and labour, which makes social progress really difficult. Also many of the conservative beliefs in developing countries where forced upon them by Western colonisers. Western people still tend to think people in developing countries are way less progressive than they actually are.

The Russians I have met were sometimes nationalistic, but none believed that they should conquer the world to rid it of ‘barbarism’ brought on by their own actions.

The Russians I know are proud of being Russian. They have an interesting history with many (non war related) achievements. The war with Ukraine doesn’t define the Russian people. Also, (working class) Russian people are very welcoming to guests and selfless from my experience.

Do you mean Twitch and YouTube? The biggest gaming content platforms where the largest accounts do complain about women being in movies/games quite a lot?

Cops of lemmy, what’s it like to arrest/beat up/kill poor people whilst defending the rich?
