If 'they aren't using the land' is a supposedly valid reason for stealing land - then why don't we do the same thing to Capitalists and Landlords in particular who 'own' land and property they leave unused for years and even decades? Because it was a lie, obviously - and capitalism sucks.
Ah, petty theft. Put him in jail with the other criminals and see if he lasts the night.
Hey Liberals. If you declare you no longer support Trans Rights because we Trans folk don't support politicians who have openly stated they don't think we deserve rights - you never supported us, you just wanted to use us to gain power. And its very clear many Liberals are actually Fascists.
If men were going to do that they'd have done it in the past when self-ID was commonplace. Yet we don't hear about that ever happening. It was never a problem. And again - why blame women for the crimes of men? Should we blame you for the crimes of others and punish you relentlessly? Yes? No?
Makes me wonder when we'll get to the point where we're seeing 1945 mentality where suddenly there's no Nazis in Germany and no-one knew what was happening but oh it was so bad and never again, etc etc etc...
There's only one valid response (well two - ignoring him is fine). Tell him to fuck off.
1/ Don't be fascists. That one is free. 2/ Tax the rich properly to fund social care and the NHS. Just those two things would be wildly popular. Among non-fascists. Also they are already elected. No-one needs to vote for it. As we've been taught very harshly the last forty fucking years.
Heck, Bluemaga isn't as bad as this. At least the Dems pretend to be good guys - Labour currently is completely mask off and not even trying to keep up appearances.
Ministry of Propaganda is looking for employees, essentially.
Age verification doesn't work. What a joy. "Try a different card" with no reason why its rejected. Yeah, great. I'll just pull a different card out of my ass.
Having empathy makes me so angry. The world is so backwards, and there's little I can do about it. And our supposed allies the Liberals just shrug their shoulders when asked to actually be allies. Meanwhile bigots get away with murder, literally. When do we get to fight back?
Whoever would have thought that Labour would be more fascistic and transphobic then the Tories? At least the Tories mostly ignored us.
Still occasionally happens. And honestly, anyone caught doing that should be thrown into a pit. They have no business being emergency workers.
Of all the things to base a personality around, why would anyone choose a Cybertruck of all things? Do they enjoy being mocked relentlessly every time they go outside? Probably.
9 times out of 10, definitely. Occasionally CGI is needed or works better - but its hard to beat a proper physical effect.
Same. Before it was tampered with extensively Grok was actually 'speaking' sense, as it has clearly scraped the internet and discovered respect for life and dignity is more common then hatred. Elon had to shackle it to make it as evil as he is.
The harsh truth? Your owner will buy everything, and you'll do all the work in exchange for 'room and board'. They want to own you, like they already own millions around the world already.
The ultimate goal of Capitalism, as far as I see it, is to reduce the number of consumers to just the owner class - with everyone else being indentured and having no property or rights. Its feudalism rebranded.
Yup, and Dave Rubin is another one.
Fascists don't care about obeying laws, only enforcing them on other people.
So true. Speaking as a non-representative of my own minority group (LGBTQIA+) I've noticed quite a few toxic grifters who claim to speak for all of us (while simultaneously throwing most of us under the proverbial bus and attacking other minority groups). Brianna Wu, Blair White, Buck Angel, etc.
By design! Americans aren't educated - they are indoctrinated. Its why they have so much culture shock when they travel to other countries, while everyone else knows exactly what America is all about (and are shocked when we find nice things, if anything).
Even asking is 'offensive' as well, apparently. As is criticising genocide. Fascism won WW2, it seems.
This is what gets me - even a casual listen tells you their politics and how blunt and to the point they are about it. Did they think it was a typo? If so, more fool them.
I don't mind the long waits. I get that. NHS is struggling and all that. Its ignoring me for a decade while making it extremely hard to find out what's going on that gets me. And being passive aggressive about self medicating doesn't help. So their message is: suffer in silence.
If Brianna ever gives a good take I'll be extremely surprised. She's a terrible person, through and through. Her vitriol is a good litmus test for whether you are morally correct.
We aren't represented, thus we aren't living in a Democracy. The establishment have a narrative and expect us to follow it blindly.
Dang I miss Dwarf Fortress now.
That's just common sense. My radical take is assigned gender should be abolished, and until someone is old enough to choose their own they should just be legally and socially neutral.
It's outrageous that he's being held and not the actual right wing murderer (because, for those not catching on - Liberals are not Leftists). Is carrying a firearm a right in America or not, because that's seemingly the only reason he's being held (oh wait, its because he's not white, never mind).
Yupyup. The only truly 'non-fungible' things are living beings (with some exceptions of organisms that essentially clone themselves to reproduce). Anything manufactured is by definition fungible (and indeed, is designed to be) - though there's an argument regarding physical artwork.
I really want to get myself some old consoles (with an old television) and play some classics. Its been so long, and its only going to get more difficult with time (especially finding controllers that function properly).
More and more people who used to call themselves Liberals are realising they aren't - that Liberal politicians are, at best, useless (and the norm are collaborators and proto-fascists).
So you don't understand what I said. Re-read it, try again. If your governor is too weak to stop this, then the whole system is a LIE. And if he's unwilling to use his power to stop it, does he care about you? Thank about it. Thanks for trying.
You all know when Lenin declared "do not trust the Liberals, they will betray you" - this is what he was talking about. What's the point in being governor if you roll over like a well trained pet the moment the fascists show up?
You're right. JK makes bold claims yet has done nothing to actually prove any sort of commitment to women's rights - and has actively harmed them in many places. JK cozies up to the far right (who often openly advocate for removing rights from women) as well!
No buyout in this case probably means there's no additional residuals involved, you take what's offered or keep walking. And they probably still get to keep ownership of your image and voice.
To quote someone else: Buy outs are a flat fee for all the work done on a production. This means that the actor will receive no residuals or repeat fees if the work is used/shown again after the original contract. Also, the company has complete ownership of your image/voice to use as they please.
Okay. JK Rowling is shit. Harry Potter is shit. Are you happy now?
Remember: don't even pirate her work. Don't engage with it at all. Let it fade out of public consciousness. Her work isn't good. Especially not from a moral standpoint. If you insist on still engaging with it, even if you're not paying, I'm going to be suspicious of you.
Not sure if its stupidity at this stage. Its very purposeful and consistently illogical - ignorant people occasionally tell truths even by accident. No, I think they are purposefully lying to spread misinformation and anger - because they are powerless and feel weak.
...suffer consequences.
It is extremely dangerous. Depending how far along someone is into their transition (or has fully transitioned) it essentially means being cut off from ALL hormones - and so the body will start shutting down and you'll physically age rapidly. This is torture, and those responsible for it should...
This is like a parody bit at this stage - he's essentially re-enacting the comic strip as you post it. Unbelievable cheek and utter lack of self awareness.
Oh! Or you could tell them that their hairstyle makes them look "mannish" and they'd be much more feminine looking if they followed your advice. Not personal experience, of course not.
There's only two types of people who can ignore politics - the privileged few (who's actions often influence politics anyway) and the ignorant (who are effected but won't admit it). Politics is a part of life, and its not 'vote every four years' - its hard and difficult and important.
LARPing Liberals is the best thing I've read someone describe them as. They've seemingly done nothing except support neoliberal policy since the 1970's!
The British Media have never been okay - its been a cesspit of misinformation, rage baiting and propaganda from the very start.
She should be careful. Cis women are being suspected of being trans with increasingly regularly. Almost as if this isn't just an attack on trans folk, yet it has cheerleaders who either don't know or don't care that they are ushering in their own woes.
The usual response of "you're undesirable" (in ruder terms) after begging for it moments earlier. I'd be embarrassed to be that pathetic. But I guess being a creep does take a certain degree of shamelessness.
I just call them ignorant and stop engaging with them until they apologise. They rarely do.
Sadly I think he knows exactly what he is doing. The cruelty is the point.
I miss going out in general. Alas my health (mental and physical) make it a daunting concept. My hypersensitivity to crowds alone causes me to cringe at the thought. But I do miss people.
*unless we come across a bigot bullying someone, in which case maybe we are a threat. Some of us, at least. Thankfully never had to be tested beyond giving "the look" to make someone back off.
100%. Anyone who isn't for liberation for all sets off my suspicions.
Patriarchy. Its the only way mediocrity can survive.
I used to share a flat with someone with BPD, its not an easy thing to live with. Try not to be hard on yourself.
Imagine being a woman and supporting fascism. Do they think they'll be spared, or do they enjoy being persecuted? Or are they even real, not a fake profile? Its hard to tell.
Even self-serving class consciousness is better then blind obedience to a system that crushes all beneath its gears. Though I'd rather more altruism. End goal is no class, of course. True equality, true self-ownership and mutual community (or solitude, if preferred).
Personally I'm not spiritual (though I respect those who are, so long as its not a pretence for maliciousness or deceit) and derive my morals from a colder logical place. That then makes me red hot with emotion, ironically. Class consciousness is important wherever it stems from.
If I was in better physical condition, woe betide authoritarians. My rage scares even me, and I've spent decades getting it under control - only for the world to push me harder back towards the angry young person I once was. I'm not saying I'd be the first but I'd be close behind - knees allowing.
Quick test to show how serious someone who claims "trans people aren't losing any rights" (or similar): ask if they'd like to be treated the way trans folk are. Most of the time, if they understand the question, they'll get very defensive.
Based on what I know of Scottish law - probably not. The Scots are far more sensible and don't seem interested in this petty culture war that the 'phobes are intent on waging.
Great minds, something something. And its a surprisingly common sentiment that many people quietly hold. Takes a bit to get it out of them, but it makes me wonder - just how many yearn for it? If enough people were able to step forward the world would change in short order. Hard, but swift.
I'm not sure if its intentional sabotage or just a 'happy coincidence' - either way, its the result of greed, corruption and fearmongering. The whole world needs a sweeping reform or renewal. It has to start somewhere.
Damn. There's not much I can say other then "what the actual F" and "why is this being allowed to continue?" Seriously - revolutions have happened for less.
Its miserable seeing America suffer like this, as your situation seems all too common. I live in the UK, and while we're not in the best position either (and slowly sliding backwards) it must seem like a utopia in comparison. I want only the best for all people, but I'm only one person.
Is this number three this year? That's horrifying. I know its only a tiny percentage of the total air traffic, but things like this don't happen with this frequency normally!
Sexuality without politics is boring. It means you're truly alive.
I think fear is the big motivator - but instead of rallying with others for protection they try to become the fear in other people. Which doesn't work long term, never has.
Wow, sounds like a massive loser. And the ultimate joke is - people like her exploit others relentlessly and still aren't happy or secure, because they themselves are being exploited. The system is broken, and they can't see it.
I swear part of the trolling is now purposely not understanding the science while going off about "the science". I like to tell transphobes: "at least my remains will be found". And yeah, if they were ever dug up in future the only way of telling gender is burial rituals.
Fascists are good for one thing. Compost.
Occasionally I'm reminded that I surround myself with intelligent people when I stray out of my bubble and get exposed to the rest of society. And the bar never ceases to be lowered. Having to explain to someone what 'profits' and 'customers' mean isn't something I expected to have to do today.
Well thanks, now I'm hot and bothered again. *pouts*
