Trans women. I'm grabbing you by the shoulders and yelling. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE SKINNY TO BE FEMININE AND PRETTY AND CUTE. PLEASE STOP MAKING DIETS PART OF YOUR TRANSITION GOALS. WEIGHT LOSS IS A SCAM. I LOVE YOU. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

Rewatching succession it really is wild to see Kendall and Shiv convince themselves over and over again that they can "fix ATN/Waystar from the inside" only to completely abandon their morals the minute it gives them a strategic advantage.

When they're on the outside it's an endless diatribe about how evil and rotten the company is to its core, but the second they get the slightest whiff of power they suddenly decide the problems are actually really manageable and that with the right leadership it could be a force for good, and like...the saddest part is that they genuinely seem to believe that.

some leftists, even those who will vote for Kamala Harris while holding their nose, make claims like, "fascism doesn't just go away if you vote against it" & while there are those out there who do feel this way (or at least want to) there are MANY who know that something like Project 2025 doesn't just go away if they lose their chance to implement it nationwide.

a leftist responded to one of my comments on facebook when i mentioned something about "accelerationists." it was only part of my comment & not even my point. they were SO offended by me calling "all of them that" when i did no such thing. what i see is that leftists who claim they're above everyone because they don't fall for propaganda that easily are proving they are just as human as the rest of us & only read what they want to read.

i get it: the US has A LOT of issues. this is not a great country. there are so many things i want to see get changed for the better. there are plenty of folks who feel the same while not identifying themselves as far left.

one other issue i have: i mention Ernst Thälmann quite a bit in my political posts. he was a German politician & leader of the Communist Party of Germany. he regarded the Social Democratic Party as "social fascists" which made it harder for the two leftist parties to work together. when he ran for office again in 1933 he lost by a landslide & Hitler took office. Thälmann was arrested by the Gestapo & sent to Buchenwald. his party rival, Walter Ulbricht, ignored requests to plead for his release & Thälmann was eventually shot & killed on Hitler's personal command.

when i brought up Thälmann recently, someone commented, "yeah, don't be like the guy who wanted to beat fascism but vote them in instead." that is NOT what i meant & these folks who claim they're the smartest ever because they don't like the US (that's actually a low bar; plenty if people dislike it) like to pretend they don't see my point. my only point is this: we are stronger together regardless of your normal party affiliation. working apart? making purity politics your hill to die on? it won't help us & we probably won't like how that'll turn out.

leftists who don't see the forest for the trees: you're right, you can't just "vote fascism away." the issue is your wanting to be superior to the rest of us is you may be part of what helps them get that kind of power. you're not the MAIN problem; our justice system is garbage & there's decades of poor education & people have been falling for propaganda & people are voting for anyone who is as hateful & ignorant as they are. my point in saying to not be an Ernst Thälmann is: don't tear us apart because of even slightly different ideologies. we need to work together. start at the local level. please remember it's not just the president; Congress & the Supreme Court are also filled to the brim with corruption.

Just got a mail from my MdB (SPD) on why he will vote against the AfD Verbotsprüfung. I know i shouldn't put faith into A. liberal activism and B. the SPD having a spine but the Verbot was my last hope in this system despite knowing it's pitfalls - and now it's gone.

The whole "don't be easily identifiable as a minority if you want to be treated well" is baffling to me because... the negative ideas and stereotypes about those minorities aren't being challenged - they still exist, and again, they are fundamentally unchallenged bigotries. That is why assimilation is not liberation - the underlying problem as to why some people are treated and seen as sub-human still exist and still affect people.

am i the only one that doesn't understand the 4B movement

specifically the western wing of it. it makes sense in a place like korea but i don't get why it's a thing in the states now

I know that radical feminism and celibacy aren't ever going to be popular among women, but the 6b4t movement has shown that it can work, So I don't understand some radfems logic of agreeing that it's a good thing for more women to be at least aware of radical feminism but whenever a lot of women are showing interest in it, like now, you decide to discourage them by making snarky comments about how celibacy could NEVER work for them so they might as well not even try

WAIT- is this one of the alternate timelines created from the space-time sword ("Shintō Amenogozen")!? 👀

I'm an anime-only bsd enjoyer & ever since that damn sword popped up after Atsushi & Akutagawa killed him on the boat but he was able to erase/undo(?) that timeline, I've been thinking that technically means there's multiple timelines. This would be the one where Fukuchi won that conflict we just saw or something else entirely is going on given the way he's dressed (if that even is him)! 👀👀👀

One of the saddest things I've come to realize about RWBY is that its characters are defined more by what they aren't than what they are

"Israel has completely blacked out Palestine. Over two million people are being slaughtered with no means of contacting the rest of the world. People conducting medical aid, transporting, and delivering aid cannot be contacted. I am begging the United States of America to stop the seige and call an end to this genocide, to advocate to restore Palestinians ability to connect with the rest of the world, and to demand an end to Israel's crimes against humanity. We must act now. People are dying in the dark, cut off, right now. We may never know how many. We may never know how they suffered. We may never know their final words. Stop this."

look you can write whatever the hell you want but tell them palestine is dark and israel is trying to wipe them all out and it needs to stop. i don't care where you're from. here's some NY zipcodes if you need a US zipcode: 11742, 11743, 14150, 14160, 10452, 10012

street names don't matter. just flood them with comments about palestine and let them know this is a worldwide concern. if you refresh the page after submitting, it should autofill everything, and you can select another department and send the same message again. doesn't matter if it's a relevant department or not. feel free to add similar resources, working numbers, and ways for people worldwide to flood governments' comment lines with outcries in support of palestine.
