Overheard: “Not all heroes wear capes. Or tops, it seems.”
@georgetakei The rule with the right is “you’re whatever gender lets us hurt you more right now.”
@moira @georgetakei 100% this. The right has demonized trans people because they’re a scapegoat they don’t think has support. Notice they’ve backed off on blacks and Jews for the nonce.
@seano @moira @georgetakei but we DON'T have support in many areas.
Just a couple years ago, I remember so many LGBTQIA folk saying "Cancel Pride - George Floyd is more important." And we marched with those protests instead.
We were, and ARE, allies.
I'm extremely disappointed that the "liberal" media (and, sadly, many communities of color) seem to have forgotten that now that the attention of the fascist alt-right have shifted to us.
@RamenCatholic @seano @moira @georgetakei I would argue the problem is you consider yourself an "ally". Or others are "allies". You are not, and they are not. You are front line soldiers. You stand shoulder to shoulder with the repressed and victimized, or you stand with the victimizers. Any discrimination harms us ALL, not just the temporary target of the moment.
The liberal media is not on our side.
@JonKramer @RamenCatholic @seano @moira @georgetakei “first they came for…”
@patricklee @RamenCatholic @seano @moira @georgetakei , Exactly, and we are all in that list, even me, a middle aged white CIS heterosexual male. I may be far down on that list, but unless I stand shoulder to shoulder with everyone else, they come for me too. I am not an ally. I am on the front lines. Just like everyone else who is not in the club that is the oligarchy.
@JonKramer @RamenCatholic @seano @moira @georgetakei I’m a 53 year old white dude. I’m not lgbtq. I’m not a person of color. I can only partially grasp the life of those. I’m trying (like you I think) to raise us all not punch the weakest.
@patricklee @RamenCatholic @seano @moira @georgetakei , I would argue that the weakest of us is those who are afraid of small immigrant women in congress, or guys picking grapes, or working in chicken factories, or Asians, or women in general. And it's perfectly fine to punch those weaklings. You can recognize them by red hats or waving with their elbows locked.
@patricklee @JonKramer @RamenCatholic @seano @moira @georgetakei The strongest people are undeniably those who bring us into this world to little or no acknowledgment or fanfare. Then there are the unsung and marginalized people who fight for what's right and go entirely unseen. People who talk about their own strength and the weakness of others are almost always weak and trying to compensate.
I am not afraid of them, I am just afraid of all the crime they bring and how they change the culture my forefathers bled and swat to build, and that they don't respect those sacrifices.
But they are free to stay in their come countries and try to build those places up, I would actually cheer them on then.
I am a NATIONALIST, not some multiculturialist who does not value the different cultures of the world and want to preserve them.
I want an art piece where the colors are separated, you just want a grey blob
@BigBoss_Luffy @patricklee @seano @RamenCatholic @JonKramer @georgetakei
See, here's a great example.
This is a nazi going around picking fights on an instance that openly tolerates nazis going around picking fights. He's a racist white nationalist anti-semite, and proudly so.
And his site administrator is fine with that.
Which means that now I know I can defederate his entire site.
It's just that easy!
"He's a racist white nationalist anti-semite, and proudly so."
YES! Thank you for noticing!
"Which means that now I know I can defederate his entire site"
no one cares that you on your pedo instance blocks this instance.
you are the prime example of "I might be a drug addled diseased pedo, but at least I am not a nazi"
twisted moral compass you have.
oh and also, you will never be a woman
@JonKramer @RamenCatholic @seano @moira @georgetakei the strongest people never claim to be “alpha”
They don’t need to.
People know strong people and that doesn’t mean the person who can assault the most.
