I 100% acknowledge that liberals and even centrists have genuine beliefs. What I refuse to concede is that Jonathan Chait, Matt Yglesias, and all the other liberal & centrist pundits have any genuine beliefs at all.
I'm so tired of lefties promoting the idea that guns will keep you safe.
This braindead conservative self-defense bullshit -- but repackaged as ✨pro-trans leftist praxis✨ -- got 29,000 likes.
Among rich countries, we're the most-armed, most-incarcerated, and most-murdered.
the consequence, which is of course the intended function of this phantasm, is that it is essentially impossible for trans women of color to build solidarity with tme people of color, who will show a deep and profound disdain for them at the slightest, most marginal provocation.
@ZacB_MN It's J Street which is only marginally better. Even in his actual positions it's ultra lib zio and I just can't be fucking bothered with Zionists anymore
Like idk how you can one week be the “I will never trust compradors like ZOGran MuSSolini” and then the next week go “ok so I know they’re reactionary clergy technically but like it’s complicated, you gotta let me have this one ok it’s like really complex if you think about it…”
By pretending like it's superior knowledge of the territory that should make us side with indigenous people, you accidentally construct an argument that defends the chauvinist claims of Europeans against migrants, and leaves landless people...
@captgouda24@dartunorro@Aintropy Being a leftist I don't like this guy because he's a veteran not because I imagined a fake scenario in my head in which he's falsely claiming disability benefits
@captgouda24@dartunorro@Aintropy How are you genuinely one of the most miserable people to ever walk this earth. How can you even dare to call yourself a liberal
Israel is 100% the litmus test. There is absolutely no universe in which I willingly vote for someone who supports literal genocide. I am honestly disgusted by the idea that anyone would.
Progressives, which candidate would you vote for in a primary?
A) Staunchly pro-Medicare for All, but pro-Israel
B) Staunchly anti-Medicare for All (but pro-public option), but very anti-Israel
@palimpsussed@gracemodermind Because it's genuinely difficult to feel like a man. A great deal of cis men spend their whole lives trying to feel like men.
The Shen Comix situation was funny for like 2 seconds but kind of just isn't anymore. It's being used to scapegoat trans women for our """toxic egg culture""" even though Shen is actively and intentionally baiting it at this point.
This image will forever be burned into my consciousness. Matt Yglesias has literally no principles at all. It is astonishing how utterly decrepit and soulless he is.
