She can just shut it down /s

I may have some news for you…

dwm or cli

Yes, there is/was a setting for that, should be on by default.

Did you not read my post or do you like putting words in my mouth?

I explicitly said something else than what you wrote, so have a good one and enjoy yourself, I’m out.

How is being disabled the same as being queer?

And nowhere did I say they are not bigots. They are. There are many bigots, most of which keep it to themselves.

Then there are bigoted loudmouths, who have a history of being gay.

Nothing from that even remotely suggests that queer people are the source of their own opression.

Do you see a string of anti-semites discovering they are jewish?

No.

Do you see stream of homophobes caught with gay porn/orgies?

Yes, you do.

It’s nothing more than that. That’s the difference, and that’s why people react this way.

People don’t think too deeply about that. You make it seem like there is a conspiracy behind it, and that only gays can be homophobic.

I would say that everyone is a little big queer, and the more people deny it, specially going overboard, that means they are scared of it.

Why would people be scared of something so innocent? Most likely toxic masculinity or religious lies.

You choose to be a priest, exactly as you choose to be openly bigoted and build your entire platform around it.

People do that to Catholic church as well, does that make you feel like EVERY clergy man is a predator?

It’s just a coincidence, but frequent enough, to make that connection.

Same as here. And those same homophobes and fragile masculiners will sing praises about well-built male bodies. And keep almost exclusively male company.

There are people who oppose gay marriage because it works for them politically, but if their base shifted opinions, would support it 100%. But they keep it all on the down low.

It’s just a random list, but there have been a lot more.

The point is, nobody believes they are all gay, just that many of the fervent ones happen to be. Or at the very least they have dabbled in the acts.

Like catholic church - very anti-gay, get altar boys have been molested at a very high rate.

So while ‘not all homophobes’, there is certainly a trend. And I dunno, perhaps it should be investigated deeper when you push on it like that.

It’s because it’s a recurring theme.

Not that queer people cause homophobia, just a lot of homophobes turn out to fuck the same gender.

It’s absolutely maddening that this is the current state of affairs.

We know we drove off the cliff, we know we need to do everything we can to mitigate the fall, and yet we keep acting like nothing is happening.

Stop the economy, put everything into housing and feeding people, while building renewables and research into other measures.

Instead we will cut our leg after shooting the foot. Without even thinking about slowing down. Fuck me.

This is the second time I saw this suggestion in the wild, and I from now on I will label every such comment as lubing us up before someone actually does this.

Which is why there is no dialogue with people arguing in bad faith.

And we as a society need to recognise that, and act accordingly.

I’m not american, I’m not saying don’t vote Biden. If you can, make sure you do.

I’m saying I’m just tired of pretending this is going anywhere. It’s not. The climate catastrophe is upon is, billions are going to die, and those who survive will fall to fascists within two decades tops.

Just the notion that Trump, convicted felon, twice impeached (yet never removed), is a serious contender for the presidency, is absolutely fucked beyond imagination.

What in the bloody hell did we do wrong to get here? How are we going to correct it? Is there any way to solve just this one issue, out of the pile of other civilization-level threats?

I’m losing my mind just thinking about it.

It was an angry comment, but how did you read anywhere about not daring to change it?

Please, for the love of the universe, change it asap.

I just don’t see any meaningful change that will actually give the help that people need.

We live in a world that solved almost every issue, yet suffer them anyway. It’s just mad.

we understand how this political system works well enough to know we can’t have it

I will say it:

FUCK THAT.

Can’t have healthcare.

Can’t have social security.

Can’t have minimum wage.

Can’t vote for normal people.

Can’t stop billionaires from taking everything.

Can’t make anyone responsible.

Can’t have anything, while understanding that the system is set up for you to fail, and you will defend it because otherwise the system fails.

The system is failing right now on so many levels. The fascists taking over is the normal progression of the system, and I’m sick and tired of people saying ‘we cant change it, it will hurt more people’.

Sick and vulnerable people are being held hostage to stop any meaningful change, despite them being fucked even now.

Same with the retirements being held hostage to stop reforming the stock market.

And I will say it again:

FUCK THAT.

It’s not like Trump appointed hundreds of judges… right?

She could have Pokemon gone to Michigan

Fuck, only now I realized that this is the replacement theory.

They always confess during accusations, and it never clicked until now.

This is what they were talking about, no mistake.

Fuck.
