Except for when it’s very important to Russia.

Trade is not barter. And if it involved coinage or it isn’t barter. It’s a form of market economy.

Market Economy ≠ Barter

Where did I mention the 16th or 19th centuries? And mercantilism was 100% not a barter economy. It was a form of market economy controlled by the state… so I’m pretty sure it’s you who misunderstands what mercantilism is.

landlords serve those who would prefer to rent

If you honestly believe this then you are delusional. I’m sorry there’s pretty much no kind way to put it. This statement is that egregiously erroneous that it is so incongruous with reality so as to be delusional.

This “barter” economy as a primary means of exchange never existed. It’s a myth and a lie created by capitalists (actually by one Adam Smith) trying to rationalize the adoption of coinage and currency in ancient civilization.

In fact barter economies tend to arise predominantly in capitalism during periods of economic instability. Ie: after natural disasters, in war torn countries, etc.

The proper term you are looking for is “gift economy” and it is how the world worked before capitalism. I want something from you so you gift it to me with the implicit understanding that if in the future the roles are reversed I give something to you of relatively equal perceived value.

It was actually pretty rare that gifts were paid back in full in one transaction and often larger gifts were paid back through a series of transactions.

Did I say anything about liking their stances? No. They’re a private company though. They can do as they fucking please.

In fact the only way to force them to not censor anyone is to eliminate their (the owners) first amendment rights. That’s why private companies are not beholden to it. Unfortunately this concept is foreign to right wing nuts.

“Censorship” lol, cry harder.
Her platform, her rules. Don’t like it? Leave. This ain’t a government, you have no free speech rights here or anywhere else on the internet, don’t like how a site operates/what a site allows? Then leave.

See now you’re both wrong and a prick.

If your point is that phenotype at all defines sex, you are objectively wrong. It is a function of sex. If your point is that phenotype is a reliable indicator of sexing in humans, you are also objectively wrong.

Phenotype doesn’t determine sex. It’s a function of it. You literally agreed with me on this.

Tell me you don’t understand biology and genetics without telling me you don’t understand biology and genetics. You’ve succeeded.

Also biology hates binaries. Nature hates binaries. They’re exceedingly rare.

Sexing in humans isn’t phenotypic though. It is chromosomal.

You can actually blame Disney for much of this.
