(absolutely haunted expression, 1000 yard stare) Do yuo want to play with me this weekend
tumblr users really have the gall to send you some google doc about a woman you don't even know and going "what?! you won't publicly shun her with me?! you don't trust me, an internet stranger meticulously documenting everything this woman who in all likelihood you'll never meet in your life does??"
of course as mentioned in previous posts and reblogs it doesn't even matter if she did do all that bc what the fuck do you want me to do about it? make sure she's socially isolated for life? but the audacity of just linking you the doc and expecting you to automatically agree because everyone loves to hunt down a trans woman is also perplexing. you're not my fucking friend! i'm not gonna put your glorified gossip above her life!
this whole thing is obviously 99.9999999999999999999% transmisogyny but that one little bit of, idk, almost over-familiarity? when some dickhead tries to recruit you into a harassment campaign drives me up the wall as well, i can't help it. in how many languages does one need to say "i don't even know you, why the fuck are you talking to me about some woman i also do not know" for these people to stop sending their shitty little links??
They’re so fucking confident in their transmisogyny just being the status quo default expectation that they just treat participation in their harassment campaigns as something you have to verbally opt-out of. Which is of course is then the same as endorsing the person they’re harassing, which makes you a target too.
Well here's Nero and Rosso

edit: op has apologized and is redoing the comic
op, depicting a non white character as a literal dog eating out of a dog bowl as a joke when some of the racist microaggressions lobbed at said character by fans are calling him "feral" and an "animal" and a "demon", is legitimately beyond me. i implore you to think through the reality of what it is exactly youre doing, especially for humour.
The way the ukrainian government just exhumed the remains of a literal nazi buried in luxembourg and reburied him with state honours in ukraine and the president knelt at his new grave like it’s the hitler Kaaba and we’re all just supposed to pretend that’s normal😭 we’re just supposed to hate russia and the history of communism so much that we’re willing to pretend that that’s normal
I bet it feels good as fuck to be libbed out in leftwing spaces and know you’re contributing less than the value of your silence to a conversation and still bravely hitting ‘post’
Science fans on this site: why people are being so anti-intellectual and hating real scientists
Average scientist: Here's another thesis why idiots are not really people
may i ask for the full pdf of the quote you posted a while back from this article: Iran’s 12-Day War of Resistance: National Liberation as Self-Reliance? i've been looking all over and cant find a non-paywall version y_y
yes ofc LMK if this doesn't work. i'm sorry the formatting is kind of fucked up i could not figure out how to host a pdf
ty! you could also try uploading it just to google drive and sharing that link i think 🤔
the "empathy fatigue" stuff is also very revealing because when you examine health professionals' self-reporting on the matter there is a specific type of person they describe losing empathy for- unsurprisingly, it's people with particularly chronic health issues and disability, drug users, people who "refuse to take care of themselves" and especially anyone with a health condition perceived to be "their own fault". very often what they describe as "empathy fatigue" is actually just the mask slipping on the seething contempt they already held
oh, during burnout you happen to feel less empathetic toward criminals, alcoholics, teens and drug users? that's really interesting and i feel so sorry for how hard your job must be that its caused these feelings in you.
every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...
i made a separate post about this but actually there are plenty of people cough white people who care about animals more than they ever do human people . not what i'm talking about make your own post
I had a TME 'genderfuckery queer' (they/it) scream at me over their assertion "it is a biological fact AMABs are incapable of caring for children" while I repeatedly asked for any sort of supporting evidence. They started with "I read it" then "everyone knows" and finally "my friend told me." Silver lining is they apologized later saying they couldn't find a peer-reviewed article to reference.
How am I supposed to ever feel comfortable speaking up in a group setting if that's how one-on-one situations turn out? I'm just going to get mobbed...
I'm sorry but what the fuck does it even MEAN to be genderfuck at that point?????
like????? sounds like you're actually quite interested in upholding the binary my friend????? are we fucking with gender today by spewing regressive conservative bioessentialism?????? where is the genderfucking exactly???????
someone said something like "a stock standard binary trans woman is more transgressive and challenging to the status quo than the genderfuckiest TME alive" and yeah lol good fucking lord???????????
I'm gonna pick my words carefully here but I think quite a lot of you hear "gender is different from sex" and you don't change any of your preconceived bioessentialist notions about sex, you just treat gender as a paper thin aesthetic draped as mere decoration over what you ~really~ are
"there are only two genders but an infinite number of ways to style them" is what a lot of you seem to actually think
I remember looking into different terms years ago when my egg had only partially cracked, I thought "genderfuck" would probably suit my general disdain for the whole system until I read more about it and yeah it turns out the term was coined & popularised by some party somewhere in the US with the tagline "guys wear a dress and girls wear less", the whole concept developed from a starting point of "hey wouldn't it be cool and fun and weird and confusing to have gender characteristics which contradict each other", so I figured that actually no I will not be calling myself that because it all seems pretty transmisogynist
In all the time since I have rarely, if at all, seen anyone calling themselves "genderfuck" without reinforcing that perception.
The global south should continue to live in destitute poverty #woke
Genuinely anyone who believes this is profoundly racist and refused to actually listen to the voices of the global south.
Sorry I must be falling into “human supremacism” I’m sure the imperial core citizen wants to keep global south nations impoverished for animal rights reasons totally. It just happens they never put any effort into actually doing the same “primitivism” at home.
Suspicious number of global north “leftists” whose entire political ideology is chastising revolutionaries from the global south.
Wanting to progress society is reactionary actually we need to retvrn to our glorious primitive past
For what it’s worth, some Marxist Leninists do have a bad habit using capitalist metrics for determining development I’ve found instead of analyzing things instead of like, productive forces and quality of life. But this person isn’t criticizing that they’re just voicing imperialist anxieties in progressive language.
The average impcore anarchist cares more about the lives of goldfish the local aquarium then they do Latin Americans.
Something that truly startles me about liberals is the idea that something as simple as property damage is violence. These people think that a ‘violent protest’ is destroying buildings, setting cop cars ablaze, and the like.
These people, in the same breath, will defend the violence that capitalism enacts on the proletariat. They will defend the system that fundamentally undermines human lives under the guise of ‘fairness,’ of ‘paving your own way.’ People starve on the streets while the ultra wealthy wage wars for idealistic control, and yet there are still members of the working class who will go out of their way to say that capitalism isn’t inherently flawed.
At the end of the day, damaged property can be replaced. Things like cars, businesses, and homes can all be rebuilt. You know what can’t? A human life. Once someone has starved to death, once someone has been blown up or shot, you cannot bring them back.
Burning down a broken system is not violence. Destroying the people who have for so long allowed the destruction of humanity is also not violence. What is violence is the way that the bourgeois allow anybody they don’t consider worthy of life to die, just because it benefits their own interest.
I totally agree.
But, also, you know what? Violence against the bourgeoisie hardly counts anyway. In my opinion, at least.
Violence against the most violent of all- is deserved. The bourgeoisie are violent in every single possible way and they care a lot more about their material possessions than they do about us.
When people have all of this sympathy for them, it just makes me sad, because they shouldn't. The bourgeoisie have no conscience. They would rather you suffer for your entire life than lose a bit of their money. They profit off of your suffering.
people talk about russian men the way they talk about arab men and people talk about russian women the way they talk about east asian women. does this make any sense
It does, it really really does.
Men are rendered as big and sexually animalistic and obviously subhumanly ‘backwards’, culturally, but like in a hot way(rooted in western anxieties around white masculinity and the need to ‘protect’ white women, it is intended to frame the subjects as sexual threats, jut now reinterpreted for a fetishistic western audience.) and the women are pretty, servile, sexually available and would do anything for a buck(reflective of the history of sex tourism, trafficking and exploitation that followed imperialist intervention and economic hardship in their region)
It’s not always clear-cut and binary though, one thing we can infer from things like the “his eyes have a sadness you only see in Eastern European gay porn” jokes and the theming of certain gay porn websites where the kayfabe is primarily a fantasy of financial sexual coercion of passively unwilling young former-Soviet men and how that parallels the real, historical sexual exploitation of young men(and women) by western pornographers after the illegal dissolution of the USSR(more on that), and the way muscular or otherwise gender-nonconforming women are talked about especially in primarily queer western spaces, it’s very clear that the sexually dominant/violent brute archetype and the sexually submissive/servile sexworker archetype aren’t gender-locked, especially not when you stray from the heterosexual context.
So yes, it does very much make sense. And also at least prior to WWII, East Asian men were also hypersexualised as dangerous, sexually-menacing civilisational threats(Yellow peril) before desexualized emasculation became the primary role they occupied in the western imagination, and Arab women are also often reduced to a very similar stereotype to East Asian and Russian women, so at certain points in history, it was all even more similar across the board.
The only conclusion to extract from all that is that Russophobia is simply orientalist racism applied to a Russian context, and that orientalism functions in very similar ways even when applied to different contexts.
can we please start killing people
it's really amazing how easily convinced of not even very good usamerican propaganda people can be. Like people will say insane shit about delcy rodriguez. In general what I'd say this shows is like no matter how anti-imperialist you are you still need to read the actual news, and not just look at twitter, and preferably look at credible news local to the issue. If you don't look at RT you wouldnt know that all this week russian soldiers in the donbass have been restoring monuments to gpw dead and happily raising red banners while citizens cheer them on, and without that you can't understand the battle. If you don't lok at telesur or con el mazo dando, you wouldn't know that on january 6 three days after maduro's capture delcy rodriguez stood at the grave of her father, murdered by usa agents, while the dead from the bombings were being buried in the revolutionary martyrs cemetary, and you wont knowher speach on her presidency, that her mission is twofold and difficult, that as a nation venezuela's father has been kidnapped and held for ransom, she has been his vice president for 8years and couldnt betray him and the venezuelan people bynot going to the negotiating table. but on the other hand the revolution can not be stopped for the fate of one man, so his work transforming venezuela into a communal state strengthening communal democracy and expanding the socialist economy can not be reasonable stopped or paused even for his sake. And if you didn't read the news you wouldn't know that that is exactly what's been happening, along with every negotiation with some usa official, where in the end the imperialists have been at most given concessions so shallow and quantitative that i would hesitate to call them the word, discounts seems more fitting, but alongside every one of those meetings new communes have opened with new collectively owned farms, factories, and storefronts. in fact just recently the process of transfering the control of the police to the communas was begun.
