Transphobia in its current form is an extremely modern ideological invention of right wing think tanks in the US and UK.
There was a lot of ignorance and there was hatred. But the current rhetorical language of hatred didn't exist AT ALL 20 years ago.
I don't intend this as a slight to my lefty friends, but it obviously is: more than any other ideology, they have an incuriousness about what the economy is or how it functions.
Which is rich considering Marx's magnum opus was a book on economics!
Nothing will make you lose faith in leftism more than arguing about rent control
They simply refuse to learn about the consequences of the policies they support, they can’t conceive second order effects
It is such idiotic horse shit to play this as “we care about climate change and America doesn’t, so grandma must die.” If you cared so much about climate change you wouldn’t take nuclear plants offline. If you cared so much about climate change you wouldn’t import fossil fuels.
Everyone should read this. The Musk/DOGE story is infuriating and in a remotely just world he'd have to at least explain himself. In the meantime, after making decisions that likely killed hundreds of thousands of people, he became a trillionaire.

Sorry, I don’t think it’s the government’s place to tell people how to parent their kids, nor to tell anyone under the age of 18 they need a parent’s permission to download any app.

I’ll always wonder how the Netflix writers rooms work. I’ll never forget this classical line from cowboy bebop. I GOT to wonder if the person who wrote it thought it would be cool as fuck.
I've seen enough clips from this to know that, whatever else can be said about Uwe Boll, he remains a master at hoodwinking dipshits.
Anyone who gloms onto this underwhelming bit of exploitation flim-flam as a "political statement" should be flagged as a potential mass shooter.
If you hate hamfisted political pandering in movies then perhaps you shouldn’t gaslight yourself into thinking Uwe Boll made a good film just because it expresses views you agree with.
A bad movie is a bad movie, regardless if it’s Hollywood or some independently funded German dude. 🤷♀️
