the schizo black guy who assaulted me has now self-identified as Indigenous and will be going through a special court where a judge is required to consider the impact of colonialism when determining his sentence and reduce it accordingly.

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?
Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?
That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?
That men don’t belong in women’s sport?
That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?
That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?
That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?
That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?
That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?
That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?
That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?
That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?
That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?
That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?
Let me have your thoughts.
Extremely underrated Hasan Piker moment was when he went on a five minute rant about how the streets should run red with the blood of landlords and like five days later everyone found out his mom owns and manages commercial real estate
One of Billie Eilish's fallacies is a false understanding of what "wealth" is.
@elonmusk's "wealth" is mostly ledger entries stored in computers. These 0s and 1s are *not* the same thing as goods and services. He isn't hording 700 billion pounds of food or 100,000 anti-poaching rangers in his garage.
If Elon buys 700 billion lb of food to send to Africa, this does not in itself create more food or the means to deliver it. Rather, the price of food will go up, and some people will get less than before.
Of course, by placing large orders, Elon incentivizes people to go into food production. So in the end there will be more food overall. But this means paying people to divert their labor from *other* productive activities to farming. More food production means fewer nonagricultural goods and services. Many people (not necessarily Elon) will have to pay in tangible benefits.
When Jeff Bezos employs ten thousand workers to build him a yacht, he is using limited resources (labor and material) for something that benefits only himself. This can be morally criticized. But merely having wealth on paper is, strictly speaking, irrelevant.
The free market sometimes fails to allocate resources in a "morally" ideal way. For example, people spend money on AI pornography rather than protecting elephants or subsidizing philosophers of biology. In these circumstances, charity can help correct course. But very few social problems can be solved by throwing money at them—at least not without creating other problems that @billieeilish & Co may not anticipate.
Not to start A Discourse but I was invited to a child-free wedding on the West Coast in January. It will be 3 wks after I have my baby. Does "child-free wedding" also include very young newborns? Curious about thoughts. Newborns (to my mind) are basically nonexistent.
Truth bomb‼️
This man should be the one speaking on college campuses.
“They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.”
Watch…
i dont think there’s any side of the #charliekirk debate that i’m behind. i don’t think his murder is justified… but i don’t feel any empathy either. i also think this is only going to result in the complete opposite of what the left is hoping for… but the memes are funny.
The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
You fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but you’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.
