Been away long enough that I can truly appreciate the way my dash is a zoo of batshit political opinions. Highly recommend curating at least 4-5 blogs that span the spectrum of politics from radical right wing, conservative centrist, average liberal, communist, and all that. It's healthy to hear out people you disagree with.

Literally everyone could do with taking a course on the "yes and-" strategy for interacting with people. If someone is trying, build off of that. I see people do it wrong all the time in religious institutions, political movements, jobs, parenting, personal relationships, etc. If you think someone is doing it wrong, guide them! Don't fucking criticize for the purpose of your own emotional satisfaction!! It's not effective! If someone is trying, notice their efforts! Show them what they can do next! The point of intereacting at all is to increase benefit, not be a school bully!

If you can tell me exactly why trans people NEED surgery without using mental health as a reason, I'll change my mind. Completely ignoring anyone who doesn't fit the trans i.d. who happens undergo surgery for mental health reasons, I'll entertain that maybe they're different. Really sounds a bit misogynistic considering an incredibly large portion of cosmetic surgeries are done for mental health reasons that are easy to make fun of but maybe I'm wrong. It's inarguable that trans people are a target for exploitation though.

If you're saying that chopping up any part of women's bodies and sewing them back together to artificially increase their self esteem is normal and not extremely barbaric and horrifying im literally not fucking listening to you

God some of y'all will really take any good experience people have and shame them for priviledge when a much more helpful campaign would be figuring out how to get everyone access to the good thing. Like nobody should ever respond to some shit like "I grew up eating a balanced, local diet and my health is much better than the average person" with "shame on you for bragging about priviledge." Maybe fucking ask them how they did it? Maybe figure out if that is a true correlation?? Ask them to support causes that make that same thing more viable for poorer people?? Maybe simply be okay with objective truth that some things are good things??? Like for fucks sake! Be actionable! Grow up and gain a better paradigm than a three year old's logic of "if I don't have it right NOW I will smash it and also roll over and cry."

Disagree but interesting perspective. Dysphoria doesn't always affect gender identity, especially just in a "I'm not what I was assigned" way.

I personally am against all forms of cosmetic or affirming surgery for multiple reasons but I also believe they're absolutely the same category. I see a lot of "it's okay if they're trans" rhetoric but it really sounds like reducing trans people to medical gold mines because it's either nice or convenient. With the average opinion of cosmetic surgery declining, the billionaires who make money off of the industry are turning their attention and marketing to the trans community to make up lost revenue and that is a factor to consider, whether or not you believe it's a healthy kind of surgery.

Let me assure everyone that the conversation of "it wasn't a Nazi salute." and "it was!" is being had between actual radical right wing who understand that he doesn't actually support them and think it was cringe attention seeking behavior and liberals who are taking him seriously, which is exactly what he wants. He is a literal child. Stop encouraging him if you don't like it.

Boomers really will go on for hours about the small farming community they moved to in another country and how charming it is and so beautiful and then casually mention that they tried to convince the young adults of said farming community to get out, go live in the city, be educated, not trapped in the backwater shithole. Like buddy who the hell do you think is going to make sure the family owned farms are going to last? Is it so scary to think about how maybe the way you sold out your family wasn't the only available option? Does the epidemic of local food production not sound alarm bells to you? Even after exeriencing how good it can be to know the guy who produced your food by name?

The lack of self worth across feminism is so incredibly debilitating. Within an hour I've seen posts appreciating women for their work and that dumbass "farmer's wife" post and people were mad at both. First of all it's your own inferiority complex making you assume farmer's wife is derogatory in any way and not honorary. A step below farmer's boss for instance. Not very feminist of you. Secondly, when a random fucking guy makes a post about how amazing his wife is and how she does so much it's not because he is a giant man baby. It's a 50 word post not an all encompassing novel with backstory on what he does. Self awareness, self depreciation, and genuine praise are not markers for people who take advantage of their spouses.

Pro choicers are just too addicted to dick to intelligently consider consequences. Pro choice is not feminism, change my mind.

[canwediscuss]

Assertive and doesn't care what people think are neutral attributes that are generally positive. Douchebag is subjective. It is a woman's responsibility to filter by morals. Unassertive and influenced by peers/ bullies are bad attributes. Take it from a woman, there's several good reasons why the above is instinctively sought after by women.

The ways of woman are strange and labyrinthine.

[canwediscuss]

Counterpoint, "hyper assertive douchebags who don't care what other people think" who have the correct morals have always been the ideal choice for women, our hyper decadent society just allows for a wider range of potential males to be viewed as eligible.

Aight, so a suspect has been caught. In the next couple of days we’re going to be bombarded with a cavalcade of information about Luigi Mangione. As we start this period I want everyone to remember:

Luigi Mangione is a living, breathing, human being. He has followed people you don’t like, held beliefs you disagree with, and possibly voting for politicians you think suck.

He still shot a man with the blood of millions on his hands. He still caused an outpouring of rage that caused BCBS to roll back its ghoulish anesthesia policy.

Carve that into your fucking minds. Mass media is about to do its damnedest to remind us to hate each other, not the top .001%. Do not let them do this. Y’all understand what I’m saying? Here, lemme spell it out more clearly:

DO NOT FUCKING PURITY TEST THIS GUY, ASSHOLES!!

And if you see people fixating on his purity over the message he sent, call them out on it.

We have lost again and again and again on healthcare because we keep letting the rich divide us. Remember: the people united will never be defeated.

If ONLY there was something we could DO about the state of the country's government 😭😭😭

Killing abusers should be legalized. That would help women a whole lot more than legalized no fault divorce (which used to be illegal, things can change). Feminism is and has been in part a movement to change the legal system. I specifically made a critique about a popular talking point being less helpful than the alternative presented, not a blanket advocation to kill abusive partners right now.

Look maybe I am not a nice person but I genuinely don't understand why feminists think it's a good argument for divorce to say "women used to have to kill their abusive husbands." Like in other words you're saying "I support protecting the rights of abusers to do it again after the first one (kind of) gets away." I see a post screenshotted on different platforms all the time about old ladies confessing to murdering the husband that raped them and it highly implies that divorce is a good thing. Why is rapists living one of your arguments??

[canwediscuss]

This all the way. Stop begging daddy mega corp to take better care of you and learn to take care of yourself.

Our movement is growing bigger and faster than I could have ever imagined.

We are right in the middle of the onslaught on Kellogg’s, however… other companies need to take notice.

General Mills, who is also complicit with poisoning Americans with ingredients they don’t use in other countries came out with Trix in Australia (made in joint venture of General Mills and Nestle) that says right on the front of the box that it has “No Artificial Colours”.

Meanwhile in America they’re using 3 Artificial Dyes PLUS unidentified additional “color added”…which could be Titanium Dioxide (an ingredient linked to cancer and banned in Europe).

In 2015 General Mills removed all artificial dyes from Trix in America, but then turned around and put the dyes back in 2 years later.

Soon after they removed the dyes, General Mills reported that sales “exceeded expectations” with great feedback from customers…

But later claimed that people missed the fluorescent-colored Trix and had to put the dyes back.

Feminists really just can't be happy, can they? Men caring for women? Bad. Men NOT caring for women? Bad.

Do they not realize that two (or more) people can handle a threat better than one? Or that those left behind can bring justice to someone who murders? It's not "this is actually an inanimate porcelain doll" it's "she is a person who has a community that supports her"

mutuals do this

Ah yes the classic self superior conservative take "but what if it happened to you." Y'all do not understand where power comes from and it shows. This is why conservatives don't conserve anything- they do not understand how conflict works.

The original post unconciously understands conflict better than every one of you making fun of them. Sometimes there is no middle line.

incredible. no notes.
