@Y40IFRQTTING@ArchysLife Yeah but real life violence is so materially different from video games that I don't even think they enter the same category in the mind. Not even from a desensitization POV. It just is a different thing entirely
@maddyburnhope@Bubb73719Bubb@mzgoraya If the ideological base for it is literal misoginy then yes lmao, it is. What's the feminist defense for viewing women as temptresses?
If she had refused the handshake because she was radfem it'd at least be respectable and coherent
@plushPetunias it’s funny because whether trans people “exist” isn’t even up for debate. that they exist is an empirical given. denying they “exist” is simply irrationalism. the role of a marxist, which they inherit from philosophy, is not to tell trans people to cease, but to understand them
imagine being a Marxist and believing in dialectical materialism, the philosophy that everything material can change through contradictions and resolution, and still thinking that trans people don't exist
@NoBakeJustTake@P_f_w@jasonhickel I agree. I understand why its important for some to be theoretically rigorous, especially when building a movement from nothing. But that needs to translate to real politics too otherwise it is just empty talk. People are dying today, and they will tomorrow, and its not theory
@Nnailthecoffin@LeandroPal92657@ar_ysy_ yo creo que subio el pantallazo como meme o compartir con amistades y se masificó y se generó un discurso super intenso porque aca en X somos aun más raros y asociales que el tipo que respondió la historia
@NoBakeJustTake@P_f_w@jasonhickel I sincerely hope they would, but who knows. Capital has a way to grip even the firmest of hands. But for the time being, they're as good as it gets. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it
@ellonico Too oversimplified to the point it detracts from the seriousness of Marxism. It actually pushed me away from Marx when I first read it years ago, took me some time to find the way again
@gol_mia Past few days on here have radicalized me. Turns out you can't actually dialogue with people that have a false metaphysical lens of reality
The fact they don't even try the theism debate because there's no argument to be made. They gave up on it. Its just self help now
@NoBakeJustTake@P_f_w@jasonhickel Yes. Even if China has a socialist state apparatus and ideological base, it operates external commerce on neoliberal logic. It is part of a global supply chain that works entirely with capitalist incentives
@transraven332@AnonymousLeftie it seeks to stigmatize male-female relations to a degree of segregation, which is inherently reactionary
If somebody chooses not to interact with black people, sure you can argue its their choice and its their bodily autonomy, but nobody would blink if you called it regressive
@transraven332@AnonymousLeftie She might be. We know how growing up in a religious family and community can be extremely coercive to push you into religion, because if you stray from the path you will lose family and friends too
But even if she is choosing freely we can call it socially regressive because...
@transraven332@AnonymousLeftie It is quite literally the opposite. She is not choosing who to touch or not. She is being prohibited by her religion to touch the opposite sex outside of marriage.
She has less bodily autonomy than a woman who decides by herself
@AliceinCha8s8i@Melitaalsole Because they know what they're actually defending is regressive and they need to frame it as something else to not lose their epic feminist sense of identity
@SaintedWhykay@joancutesac@NerdeenKiswani Why do you need to characterize people as if they're sincerely advocating for you to touch them personally? Can you talk like an adult? There is no way you actually believe that is what they were saying
@NerdeenKiswani@joancutesac "I think that stigmatizing physical contact between men and women as sexual is harmful"
"oh so you want women to touch you you creep?"
Why are they like this. They know they're lying too
@jaritayep@k_zuela Que esperan que les respondan a ese argumento lastimero? Que les den status de perseguidos politicos y les den la razon?
"ay ustedes piensan que los de derecha son todos fascistas" Si, justamente
@denimneverdies I've seen people blaming atheist leftists as a whole because of something Bill fucking Maher said 10 years ago
Probably the worst level of discourse I've seen on this app, this is legitimately beneath all of us
