So, if the Omegaverse suddenly became real, how would TERFs react? Who would they view omegas as men or women, or would they be forced to accept that people with functioning testes AND wombs are in an additional category?
I am now giving a monthly gift to the Trevor Project, a charity that specializes in suicide prevention for LGBT youth. I encourage you to do the same. In times like these, we have to support one another, especially the most vulnerable in our community. give.thetrevorproject.org/campaign/738...
Shame this turn came right after she gave up the congress seat that might have allowed her to do something about it.
the way people have absolutely zero principles genuinely disturbs me. they believe nothing and will say anything that brings them their next paycheck. this is no way to live. it’s disgusting. i do not understand how this isn’t a bot and an actual real human being
You're not doing anything either.
Posting is not among the things worth risking jailtime for. Any direct action you think is necessary in this situation would be actively inhibited by posting about it.
There... there seems to be a grammatical error.
Notice how Trump is trying to designate atheism as a terrorist ideology so he can ban it but is not making any attempt to persecute pluralism or paganism.
It's almost as if one of those things is a threat to christian hegemony and the other is not.
Granted, bad political beliefs are usually more dangerous than bad religious beliefs, but that's not a fundamental difference. Both can be equally dangerous.
Religious beliefs are not an innate characteristic analogous to race or sexuality. They are beliefs and values analogous to a person's political beliefs. They are a choice, and can be immoral or foolish just like any other choice. They are not always worthy of respect. They are not always valid.
I do not share your optimism.
We're going to be dealing with MAGA until its boomer base finishes dying of old age, and possibly longer if they succeed at recruiting younger generations.
Even if liberals regain definitive control over the government reconstruction will fail just like last time.
People treat any church that self-identifies as progressive as immune from criticism but hold 16yo u/religionsucksballs666 personally responsible for religious persecution under Mao Zedong.
To be clear, it isn't universally correct to treat individual religious people as responsible for everything their religion does. I'm just pointing out a hypocrisy.
As with any other group, conservatives will say the broken thing is inexorable from atheism, while progressives will insist it could be fixed, but they're both comfortable making massive generalizations that they absolutely would not accept if someone said them about christians.
An angry christian is a christian who happens to be angry, but an angry atheist is a representation of all atheists, and their anger is proof that there is something deeply broken about irreligion.
Even when there is legitimate criticism of something an antitheist has said, notice how those comments are always framed as proving there is some general problem with atheism. Meanwhile, antitheists are despised precisely because they hold religious people accountable for harm their religions cause.
Virtually all negativity toward atheists and antitheists is just tone policing. "You’re too angry!" "Stop being so loud!" "How dare you disrespect the beliefs that either directly motivate or provide cover for your marginalization?!"
This has to just actually be illegal, right? You can't share something explicitly secret with a third party.
So many people would kill for what I have and I spend half my waking time wanting to fucking die because of awful shit happening miles away from me to people I don't even know. All that privilege is fucking wasted on me. I can't even fucking enjoy it.
I don’t even need a fucking job and yet there's somehow nothing I can do with my infinite free time that would change the world's course. It’s all going to burn down and I'm going to be forced to watch, impotent little bitch tears trickling down my useless face.
Instead I have to care. I have to care what happens to people I can't help. I have to feel this soul-crushing anguish for which I'll never have any outlet or catharsis because I only have enough money to save myself from the capitalist death machine, not to help anyone else.
I have the resources to be one of the assholes living it up while the world and the masses burn around me. I could be a rich shithead. In a lot of ways, I am one, but I'm too much of a pussy to just enjoy my blood money in peace and ignore all the drowning climate refugees and murdered gay kids.
And I just want to stop caring. Why can't I be like my brother? Like my father? Hos father? Why can't I just not care about anyone's wellbeing besides my own? I'm fine. None of this awful shit is happening to me, none of it ever will, and there's nothing I can do about any of it.
My peers will feel nothing while I will be ruined by it, and all the while I won't be able to do anything because all anyone can do is vote, go vegan, and donate a bit to charity sometimes and I already do all of those things to no avail. There is no hope of human prosperity within my lifetime.
I'm going to spend my 30s, 40s and 50s watching climate change ravage the world. The wave of refugees will spark xenophobic backlash that makes Trump look like nothing. I will die gazing upon a world that has done nothing but degenerate the entire time I've been alive.
Of course, I can't. I am condemned to be the kind of person whose happiness is contingent on that of the happiness of others, and I think that means there's just no chance of me ever being happy, because the world is definitely going to be worse when I die than it was when I was born.
I wish I could stop caring.
Nothing bad ever happens to me. I have no problems except that I'm the kind of person whose day is ruined when I see a news story about other people suffering.
It doesn't allow me to help people. There's nothing I can do for anyone. It’s just useless pain on top of pain
Oblivion
