It is endlessly frustrating to see people still expect trans people to vote labour or hold our breath for labour to improve. Under the current circumstances, we are more likely to see pigs fly

This sums up my absolute frustration with marvel and why i have reached, absolute peak annoyance with those films.

I hate that I get the entire rationale of this

It has, it is also not hard to have a critical eye on most regimes. Like, you can acknowledge the achievements of the Soviet Union and CCP while also being like critical and assess their many shortcomings as well. It is not that hard, even not as an anarchist.

I keep seeing people refer to themselves as Tankies or be called tankies. So just wanted to unpack the context, tankie is an insult that originates in regard apologetics over the Soviet Union rolling tanks into Hungary to crush a popular uprising against the governent in 1956

This is such a salient analysis of the ideas that are pushed by Tankies who believe the USSR was right to occupy most Eastern European states. The apologia for the occupation, rolling tanks in Hungary to crush a popular uprising, Russification being continued in the Baltics.

This position is absolutely ridiculous, pretty much saying, trans people should be abandoned because we cannot meet the spending of fascists, and so any voting coalition we are a part of doesn't have to waste time on trans rights. Fuck me sideways

Also the nation state is required by capital, because it is through the state monopoly on violence that their property is protected by. The existence of the modern nation state as a concept coincides with historical development of capitalism. People need to understand history and how things connect

Because its fun

The palantir mamifesto, is so fucking unhinged. It confirms that i think we need to break up tech companies, remove their public sector contracts, throw loads of money into open source foundations.

"Have the rolling stones killed" is something I say often, which is even funnier to me, cause I am a stones fan XD

Imperialism is Imperialism, regardless if it is done by a government that you are sympatico for. It is also possible to appreciate how the Soviet Gov did drag Russia from being a feudal state into a modern industrial economy, but also recognising that it engaged in atrocities and illegal occupations

This is such a salient analysis of the ideas that are pushed by Tankies who believe the USSR was right to occupy most Eastern European states. The apologia for the occupation, rolling tanks in Hungary to crush a popular uprising, Russification being continued in the Baltics.

This is pure Soviet Man's Burden stuff.

Tankies and campists consider Eastern Europeans to be savages, who are doomed to being evil, stupid and poor without the guiding light of the Soviet Union.

Practicality identical with racist pro-colonial takes from the far right.

'Lower the temperature': Stonewall chair calls for end to 'megaphone diplomacy' around trans rights debate The LGBTQ+ charity also appears to have softened its stance on the issue of single-sex spaces, as Mr Anderson said he supports exemptions that can be used to exclude transgender people from women's pr...

Re: Stonewall, lets not forget that they also argued in favour of trans women being raped in prison. That they are not our allies is not exactly news.

Demanding we, be pushed to the margins in silence so people can get back to brunch. Maybe, these people should realise, transphobes are full throated fascists and don't have opinions worthy of respect in a democratic society

I despise the constant framing of this as a "debate" - there is a concerted effort by a bunch of wealthy transphobes and their mates in politics and the press to push trans people further to the margins, and our resistance to that being framed as "uncouth" is just tone policing

Question for my art peeps; do you have any recommendations on a dedicated Graphics Tablet? I am looking at potentially getting one and wanna hear what people say about the brands, and models for beginners?

As a queer writer, I want to write some extremely unhinged smut involving some of my characters in my novels. But I keep procrastinating on it because, I am like, do people really want to read about Lesbians, BDSM and tentacles.

At this point, just give trans people money directly.

JK Rowling’s support of transphobia has been absolutely catastrophic for the entire world. She funded a far right movement, tested, weaponized it—and it is a cancer eating away at multiple societies. She normalized a lying narrative about people that will plague future generations. She is a curse.

This is an important consultation, I intend to fill it out with my perspective having worked on an implimentation to ensure compliance with the act. The act in no way succeeds in its aims, it supports the collection of massive amounts of data, pushing queer people further to the margins

A quick heads up; The UK government is currently holding a consultation on the Online Safety Act. The consultation lasts until the end of next month.

Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it.

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act!

Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

You're welcome, I forgot to mention its origins are within british left wing politics.

Of eastern europe, the concerted effort of the USSR to engage in a policy of Russification in the baltics, and in general agreeing that Russia now should be treated as having a sphere of influence over those countries. There is a quick break down on tankies, i hope it has been informative
