How about the Jacobin?

They’re Nazis. Enough said.

They’re so weak they want to bootlick a fascist rather than to stand up for themselves.

How about any of these?

Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organisation and should be treated as such.

I’d prefer a Marx revolution set.

Eh, I feel like horizontal decentralised planning would work better, where people tell what their needs are and the day-to-day administration (which is tasked with exclusively doing that task, and cannot increase its power) then does so.

For example, take a small town somewhere. It has no bus stops, schools, or such.

Under capitalism, flight would continue; the doctor leaves, and even the grocery store too; and we get a ghost town eventually.

Under central planning or a mixed-market economy, the flight would mostly be halted. But this comes at the cost of a lack of input and choice. It is up to the central committees whether the town can continue to exist, or not.

Under decentralised planning such as in anarchocommunism, however, people give their direct input to what they need, and in return the administration must act accordingly. Thus a bus stop might be built; a school, and so on.

Yup, hence why I said also (ie. both cishet and queer people suffer under this exclusion).

That said, as another commentor already pointed out, the consequences are often a lot worse for trans people. But the fact is that this is a stupid gatekeep for all of us, and so it needs to be broken down.

Real answer coming. The poster in the pic is ignorant; but at least they asked in good-ish faith, so I ain’t judging.

Being queer (ie. anything other than straight and/or feeling the same gender as how you were born) is a crime in many countries.

From things like…

• not being able to donate blood if you’re gay
• not being able to adopt only because the government wants to know if you don’t have the same genitals
• being prohibited from pissing just because some idiots think toilets should be segregated ("separate but ‘equal’ " shit, much?).
• child genital mutilation of intersex people (this also happens to cishet women and men!)

to more…

• being stigmatised and punished (fines, imprisonment or even death penalty) if you talk about (very much real) queer issues
• bullying, harassment, physical and verbal attacks, mob attacks, misnaming and -referring
• not being allowed to have sex together because the government is poking its ugly eye into what you do in your bedroom
• no medication or surgery allowed which saves your life and health (vaginoplasty, a womb transplant, HRT, penile transplantation, etc…)
• being forced to change who you are (eg conversion torture), often through cruelty and indoctrination.

And even cishet people, with a certain “privilege”, still also suffer due to this artificial segregation, because of:

• not being able to get medication as easily due to gatekeeping
• abortion being limited or prohibited, and so your rights get eroded; the man controls your life. A rapist’s cells then have more rights than you!
• men’s mental health issues not being talked about because some idiots find that “sissy” even though it’s very important for your health. This leads to increased suicides.
• exclusion from competitions simply because of your genitals being somehow relevant (they aren’t and shouldn’t be!).
• segregated general institutions (bathrooms, schools, etc)… I attended a school without any of these and I can tell you, it’s much better than anything, as people from ‘both’ sides learn to understand each other better.
• cramped, hateful, ignorant responses to very real issues from police, media, and society – leading to the issues getting ignored, or worse.

Frankly, we’d all be more relaxed with it all, if we just put a shovel up bigots’ arses, and called them pussies/hags/fools for not caring about everyone. Free speech especially means free speech for the repressed queers and allies!

Idc, doc, capitalism in general necessitates cronyism – because capitalism dictates that profit goes before people.

Which has time and time again shown to be a dick to people.

I think the reason you got downlemmied is because the “is this the collapse of society” you posted can be taken to refer sarcastically to the “completely harmless…” person, ie. the one with the Palestine flag and so on.

So you came off as ridiculing the Palestine pronoun user.

Nice try, CIA plant.

Let it be known that all Israeli and Jews deserve to live in peace along with Palestinians and Muslims, and all others.

Fuck genocide. We don’t need a second Holocaust, for the Nakba to continue, or the erasure of queers.

That another group does something abhorrent is not an excuse; to the contrary! We must fight fascism where its ugly head raises, and wack it into the ground.

Musk is a domestic terrorist.

And if you worked from 16 til retirement (67 ish in more and more countries), 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, having a few weeks off…

and earnt $1,000,000 (1 million) an hour – you’d still not have earnt 1/3rd of what Musk has.

For comparison, most in “rich” countries, earn $15-60 an hour.

The truly rich countries are those where the wage slave system as a concept is entirely abolished, in favour of a gift economy.

Richness is measured not in dollars, euros, or even renminbi; but in the availability of basic needs such as food, water, housing, education, and a healthy environment.

Moved to LibreOffice. No regrets. Thank you, Microsoft!

Sorry, what do you mean, ring?

Should be time we expel this kind of shit ambassadors.

You could have gotten expelled? What the fuck?

ACAB

Just ignore the police in this regard. They should go after the actual predators, those who put up that “Online Wank Policing” Act.

No? You can let them explore but they need to be taught responsibility too.

If they get a cut from wood, let them have it; take it out, put bandaid and done. Just let them go on in woods. But if it’s properly dangerous, seriously tell them better to not go. It’s their responsibility and choice, though.

Same way with the rest.
