The Sandy Hook families really said "we will accept less money for this to be funnier"

@RandomDamage @Moss @davetroy they are very literally not anarchists though, and it makes it hard to recommend this thread despite having a lot of important information because in the first post, op says something where they have no idea what they're talking about

Every word of this essay is correct

@aud @PaulDitz trump is what the us is, the period of racial progress from WWII to Obama was a byproduct of cold war liberalism when the country needed to present a better face to the world and how I feel about it I felt was properly summed up by the "death to America of course" image

@aud @PaulDitz yes, basically

@waitworry reconstructing western europe and japan on social democratic terms rather than "ha ha we destroyed your infrastructure" like in Iraq was also entirely due to fear of soviet influence! turns out the us can actually do the right thing every once in a while if someone puts the fear of god in them

Some thoughts on Trump's victory

He's not the exception a lot of liberals see him as, his racism isn't necessarily *worse* than the average nineteenth century president. This isn't a way of excusing him, that level of racism was extremely bad. It's just that it's a level of racism very much in line with the country's history

The US basically carried out a series of internal reforms trying to promote human rights for all of its citizens as a Cold War policy, so the Soviets wouldn't be able to call them hypocrites at the UN. The country's blatant racism, to the government, was a public relations scandal that prevented them from further advancing US imperialism in the Global South

Now that the US is firmly in its twilight as a global power, that public relations concern is starting to fade away, and the country can get back to what it's most passionate about: being really fucking racist

@aud @reclaimingtrans @waitworry the us is bad because the uk created it

@waitworry @reclaimingtrans a lot of times the issue is more "the more fucked up a country's feminist movement is, the more anglosaxon influence it tends to have"

@waitworry @reclaimingtrans I mean one of the feminist movements that most hates gay guys is the british feminist movement

also I'm not entirely solid on the history of korean feminism but from what I know one of the problems seems to be the influence sheila jeffreys has there and her frequent visits to the country

so maybe we shouldn't make it a west/the rest thing

@reclaimingtrans korean feminism sounds so good until you realize that there was a debate about whether it was ok to doxx gay men and that the pro-doxxing side won

@reclaimingtrans I do genuinely think that a lot of that is due to ignorance! But also because of certain tumblr/twitter radfems who consciously promote the part of the movements that sound good and downplay the dark shit, to get people on their side. Which is why we need to nip this shit in the bud

Anyways. Sex strikes aren't a bad idea. But the 4B movement didn't invent them. They're ancient. You can make references to Lysistrata, which probably more people are familiar with than the 4B movement. Associating the idea of a sex strike with the 4B movement is a conscious choice

Hey if the 4B movement catches on in the US, then the anglosphere will finally realize just how transphobic some kpoppers can get

The stupidest thing about the outburst of liberal racism is that a bunch of them are saying that latinos are too machista to imagine a woman president when most Latin American countries have had women presidents

It's entirely a skill issue, maybe Harris should have tried taking advice from Cristina Kirchner rather than from Keir Starmer

@aud @sidereal @atompunkray literally just have put the speaker the uncommitted movement wanted. I read her speech, it was nothing super radical. but it would've been appreciated by a lot of people

@aud @sidereal @atompunkray the guy with the hat? yeah

@sidereal @aud @atompunkray I feel that those clips from the DNC were probably the exact moment Harris lost the election

@atompunkray someone on dot social who got really mad about my post about how liberals shouldn't take out their anger over the election on racial minorities
