My money is on Trump shooting a couple missiles at them, declaring victory, and bouncing out. Has this man ever committed to anything?

It’s sexual harassment and misogyny and exploitation unless it’s in its purest form. Thank you! I do not get this at all.

Thank you, sister

THANK YOU! The way people suddenly act like it’s fucking normal is absurd! Who trained these dogs to bark like that?

Thank you, I don’t agree but I hear what you’re saying. I wanna clarify I’m not interesting in judging sex workers. I’m just gonna speak on a couple points.

Selling my body and selling my labor are two completely different worlds. The factory managers are only interested in my ability to perform a series of discreet tasks to keep the line moving. They don’t care how big my tits are, because that’s not part of the job. It’s about my work, not my body. This is not a superficial point. I hope this is obvious. Do I really need to explain that this is safe, dignified, and secure, and sex work isn’t?

About the cotton picking thing, my people have for several generations been forced to the absolute margins of society. We were barred from all traditional occupations for our nonconformity. We served as erotic curiosities and human sex toys for misogynists and rapists not because we organically loved doing it or thought it was a good idea, but because we needed to in order to survive and there were very few other options. We endured decades if not centuries of horrific violence and humiliation from people who hated us for even daring to exist, but were more than happy to get off by using us as sex slaves and beating us to vent their shame after the fact. Yes, it is like picking cotton. This is a dark chapter of our history. And even now, you and other queers (I see the pronouns) reflexively associate ourselves with weird kinky sex and the associated puritanical reactionaries who hate us for our alleged perversions.

You are a human being. You deserve decent work and to live in mainstream, polite society, and your sexual life is not for display or critique. Have some pride.

Extremely overlooked. Thank you for pointing this out.

“Stupid poors keep buying avocado toast! Save your money!”

Alright, done.

“Wait no the economy”

The Nazis declared war on the United States along with Imperial Japan, so during and after the Second World War, opposition to Nazism was an issue of patriotism. A lot of the contemporary understanding of fascism was propagandistic and untethered from reality. Many today still attribute Hitler’s ideology and policy to atheistic secularism, even though this is just untrue.

…Major Sean Glass, commander of the company known as “The Empire of the Vampires” belonging to the 52nd Battalion, gave the order from his tank to fire on Hind Rayab’s family vehicle…

They can call themselves vampires and we can’t call them bloodthirsty??? I will never understand.

If you aren’t a statesian and you like not being evaporated by nuclear fire, thank comrade Castro!

Don’t worry guys, in three years we’ll have a New Yorker with an even more exotic sounding name campaign to the left of whatever fossil is governor and win a huge upset victory! And then THEY’LL be the one invoking the Monroe Doctrine!

Goes to show you cannot ever work hard enough to please capitalists and their lackeys. We could all work 72 hour weeks and they would still find ways to say no one wants to work anymore.

Hey, this has happened before!

Maybe try to explain that antisemitic attitudes rhetorically benefit the Zionist project and bolster the justification for the existence of a Jewish ethnostate, and that Zionists provoke antisemitic behavior and language for this exact reason.

Oops, we “supported” the wrong pro genocide candidate.

I do like the idea of approaching starving children in Gaza and asking them to weigh in on American politics. I imagine most would respond “please elect someone who will make us stop dying.” Too bad Kamala doesn’t fit the bill.

Counterpoint: people on that flotilla are public figures and also white. However bad Israel’s PR is right now, it’s getting worse if they kill Greta and her entourage.

I know it’s tempting to say that public/international opinion of Zionism is irrelevant, but the zionists themselves don’t seem to think so. Why bother with damage control otherwise?

How many Jewish Poles in 1936 tolerated gay and trans people? How many of them deserved the gas chambers?

Most arguments are only designed to persuade oneself. And who wants to grapple with the cruelty of meat?

I used to be a vegetarian. I went years without eating any meat whatsoever, and did so on moral grounds. I caved, and the reasons were not any of the typical excuses offered by carnists. Simply put, not eating meat alienated me from others. I was made to conceive of them as villainous by my abstention from that same evil. I still don’t think it’s right to kill animals for meat, but I eat chicken just so I don’t have to deal with thinking of my coworkers and friends as bad people for also doing so.

Not sure if that gives any insight, but maybe it will.

I’m not gonna pretend that Chuck dying won’t accelerate our decline into martial law, but I’m not gonna pretend to be sad about it. He’s not Jesus and he’s not MLK.

I also get suspicious of people who make noise about fighting the power and being super radical while parroting mainstream fash talking points and pearl-clutching liberal hysteria. Enough people are telling us to be sad/angry over whiteboy podcaster #92 getting merced that we don’t need to bother saying it with them. Just let us have this win.
