Libfems will genuinely outline how women and children have been treated like property to be traded and capitalized on for centuries upon centuries and proceed to blame modern social relations on some bullshit like "womb envy"

There's a phenomenon I think about a lot where because this userbase really does not care about music but really wants to signal their performative "politics" via their entertainment consumption. They want to talk up female musicians but they by and large don't listen to actual genius female musicians like Esperanza Spalding or Nina Simone or Janelle Monáe and so bold-facedly compare no-talent industry plant #37 favorably to titans of 20th century music like Prince or Michael Jackson

[croakqette]

Lots more people should be listening to people like Vashti Bunyan Or Karen Savoca, Karen's vocals especially are magnificent

It's weird to me how John Brown receives so much praise and attention when referring to the anti-slavery movement yet people rarely ever speak of the Haitian revolution, or nat turners slave rebellion, or George Henry Thomas' subsequent conversion to anti-slavery after the rebellion. I'm not saying that John brown didn't do anything admirable, but whenever people talk about "based people" or their "idols" or the inspirations for their movements, they always turn to John brown, never nat turner, never any of the Haitian revolutionaries, never even George Henry Thomas. I wouldn't say it's entirely farfetched that the romanticization of John Brown as a revolutionary figure is partly due to a white savior complex among some of his supporters, (which plagues a LOT of anti-slavery discussion based around the American civil war) and a anglo-centric or euro-centric take upon history.

Frederick Douglass even acknowledged this in his own speeches:

> "we owe much to Walker for his appeal; to John Brown [applause] for the blow struck at Harper's Ferry, to Lundy and Garrison for their advocacy [applause], We owe much especially to Thomas Clarkson, [applause], to William Wilberforce, to Thomas Fowell Buxton, and to the anti-slavery societies at home and abroad; but we owe incomparably more to Haiti than to them all."

[croakqette]

Some might say "Oh nat turners rebellion didn't work out" neither did John browns, he didn't directly free any slaves apart from inciting a riot among townspeople who killed their mayor, who in his will wrote upon his death for his slaves to be released.

[croakqette]

Frederick Douglass even acknowledges this, yet people still try to claim that the anti-slavery movement of the civil war or as a whole was most fundamentally impacted by John Brown

It's weird how I struggle with reading urdu because there's no symbols over the top of the letters to tell what sound should be made over a letter, as it is with the Arabic alphabet, but I can read English perfectly fine, even though, same as with urdu, there are no symbols over the letters to differentiate between different sounds that *could* be made and what is to actually be made in order to form the word.

What are conservatives conserving, exactly?

Historically, more anti Catholic rhetoric has come from conservatives and other Christians than from leftists.

I’m starting to slowly suspect my brother might be gay, he went off on a tangent for 30 minutes telling me why sasuke and naruto would’ve been the perfect couple, even changed his profile picture to an image of them kissing.
