A patient, explaining what their relationship is to their new visitor who was headed up to see them, said, “he’s my guardian,” and I said “oh I didn’t you had a legal guardian,” and the patient said, “he’s not my legal guardian, he’s my spiritual and physical guardian. He is also my brother. Well, I say he’s my brother. He’s like a brother. He’s my husband.” And I say this with genuinely no judgment, just pure curiosity, what

Any Anglo LGBTQ publication that publishes clickbait traumaporn about homo/transphobia in non-Western countries, especially Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, without mentioning the role European/American colonizers and capitalists and evangelicals played and continue to play in installing those bigotries is doing de facto imperialism for free

[takashi0]

that sure is a word salad you just put on display there

[dashaibo]

Please explain to me how hardcore radical Islam or the Russian Orthodox Church are the fault of Western Europe.

[yuri-alexseygaybitch]

"Hardcore Radical Islam" - the US overthrew secular, progressive, elected governments in Iran and Afghanistan in the 20th century in the name of resource theft and stopping socialism. The mujahideen, which later formed the basis of Taliban, was directly armed and funded by the US to fight against the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and the Soviet Union from 1979 to 1989. The CIA and US State Dept. directly funded other fundamentalist wahabbi groups during the Cold War as a way to combat secular socialism and communism. The US is currently funding and arming extremist Islamist groups in Syria as well, such as the al-Nusra Front and Tahrir al-Sham. Saudi Arabia, one of the United States' biggest allies in the Middle East which currently enjoys the generous patronage of the US arms and petrochemical industries and hasn't had a single sanction placed on it in the name of "democracy" despite literally being an absolute monarchy, also spends exorbitant sums to propagate fundamentalist salafist interpretations of Islam, is one of the biggest financial supporters of al Qaeda, and was literally complicit in 9/11. Additionally, the destabilization of Iraq and Syria through U.S. interventions laid the groundwork for the rise of ISIS, which is essentially a U.S. asset by keeping swathes of the Middle East destabilized and staging terrorist attacks that create the justification for further U.S. military presence in the region.

Russian Orthodox Church - the fall of communism in Russia and other Eastern European states essentially devoured the social fabric of those countries and left millions of people to fester in abject misery, crime, corruption and poverty. The Orthodox Church and other religious organizations which had previously been kept in check by the secular socialist governments filled the void left by the collapse of virtually every social safety net that existed during communist rule. The current oligarch-nationalist-Orthodox alliance that rules Russia was directly set up by the U.S. through interference in the 1996 Russian elections to ensure Boris Yeltsin would be elected president over the Communist Party candidate; Yeltsin would later essentially handpick Putin as his successor. A similar pattern can be seen in other former Eastern bloc countries, such as Poland, where the U.S. supported the right-wing, strongly Catholic trade union Solidarity in the 80s, which would later form the basis for Poland's current far right, homophobic ruling party Law and Justice, and Hungary, where the U.S. supported the "liberal" student organization Fidesz, which is today Viktor Orban's fascist anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant ruling party.

Anti-LGBT movement in Romania is literally founded by neoprotestant USA religious folks tho. The Romanian Orthodox church may be homophobic AF, but it's a lazy, satiated wolf most of the time. The neoprotestants organize tho

[yuri-alexseygaybitch]

Entire swathes of neocolonized territory in Eastern Europe, Asia, LatAm and especially Africa have essentially become playgrounds for American "evangelicals" (read: theocratic fascists) to export their venomously anti-LGBT, anti-feminist "movements" after they fail in the States. They take their anger at being made irrelevant and impotent in the imperial core out on queer people, women and religious minorities in the periphery and Global South. Supremely evil shit.

For movie night we watched The Lychee Road (orig. 长安的荔枝) (2025), directed by Da Peng.

The movie was falsely advertised to me as a lighthearted comedy about a hapless government official trying to fulfill an impossible imperial decree (somehow transport fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang'an in time for a consort's birthday). It started with us giggling and ended with my partner and one of my friends sobbing, and me getting really angry about the United States.

All the manpower. The resources. The money. The deaths. The injuries. The damage to nature. The enslavement of entire populations and for what? To get CHEAP FRUIT on our table? CHEAP FRUIT WE WON'T EVEN NECESSARILY EAT?? I'm like getting so angry and pacing in the living room, like we are so disgusting. We are a vile nation. Just a massive machine of pain and blood and anguish all in the service of shitting out treats

[parkchanwoohoo]

I got so mad I forgot to comment on the movie itself. Liked it sure here's an apt review

sometimes it occurs to me that while "get bottom surgery and then use a strapon" is an obvious course of action for many trans lesbians, a lot of cis people would be extremely confused by the suggestion that someone would do this.

Please remember that almost everyone around you is traumatized. I didn’t understand this when I was younger. I wondered why people acted so strangely and irrationally. Maybe all children wonder this. The author Robert Anton Wilson said (paraphrasing), “We have never seen a completely sane adult human.” No one makes it out of this life alive. It’s not their fault. Mercy, kindness, forgiving — these are what makes one human. They are other names for love. People break in the strangest of ways.

“Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being." — Robert Anton Wilson

"in my socialist utopia, we will still be allowed to hunt, discriminate against, and kill a specific kind of person" <- a LOT of you for some reason

[melodies-stereo]

in MY socialist utopia, justice will not be emotionally driven... except in regards to this one type of person i really don't like and want deprived of rights and recognition

[redstonedust]

the whole "insulting someone based on their appearance is bad because it could indirectly hurt people you like who share that feature" is a good start for unlearning body shaming but i do think we need to go further and remind people that even if there was some physical trait that was magically 10000% exclusive to conservatives and creeps and nobody else ever had it, we still shouldnt be insulting them based on that. because the problem with them is not their appearance its their ideology and actions. by insulting their appearance you arent just indirectly insulting others who look like that, youre literally not making the correct point. stay on topic ya know.

[redstonedust]

also to be clear bc some people have mentioned it, theres already aspects of peoples appearance that are 10000% exclusive to a specific ideology (a tattoo of a fascist symbol, for example) but i really dont think you can count that as insulting someone based on their appearance because the appearance isn't the problem. idc if the tattoo looks good or bad i care that this person is broadcasting their fascist views to the world. i hope the difference is obvious,

[leviathan-supersystem]

while on one hand it is, of course, good to step outside your ideological bubble and to read non-marxist sources on economics (especially since if all your statistics come from marxist sources this will reduce your credibility when arguing with people who are skeptical of marxism)

but on the other hand it really does give you whiplash when you're nodding along to a non-marxist source which is showing the empirical data that shows the economy siphoning more and more money away from workers, and towards parasites, as capitalism decays, only for it to swerve at the last moment to "and that's why you need to get parasitizing if you don't want to be left behind!"

It is kind of funny that there were so many Holden Bloodfeast-types in America who spent four and a half decades and the twilight years of the republic practically begging for war with Iran, and then they go it, and now they appear to have lost.

I feel like we need some good news to share politics wise. As of the end of june, it is now no longer a crime to sleep rough. People are now no lomher criminals in the UK for not having a bed to sleep in and a roof to sleep under. It may not be an end to homelessness, but its a step in the right direction of decriminalising it and thats important.

[everydayimslothin]

Far be it of me to comment on the politics of another nation, but the Binface thing is so fucking funny. I just saw an attempted smear article against Binface in the Telegraph. It was basically just like THIS JOKE IS NOT FUNNY IT IS STUPID ALSO A DIFFERENT GOOFY POLITICIAN WHO DID A SIMILAR BIT KILLED THEMSELVES (stay classy Telegraph) AND ALSO DID YOU KNOW BINFACE IS LIBERAL!?!?!?!?!?

I'm reminded of a time in high school during student body elections, when some of my friends began posting signs around the school to encourage students to write in a vote for the pokemon blastoise. And no one really took it seriously until the school did a psa over the morning intercom not to vote for blastoise and to take the election seriously.

After that everyone in the school, now realizing they had the ability to actually mildly disrupt the proceedings of those in power, agressively and obsessively began campaigning for blastoise. 'A vote for blastoise is a vote for blastoise. Vote Blastoise.' Became the most common thing to hear in the hallway. Some people even made tshirts with a tshirt press. Eventually a human was elected but only because the school didnt count the blastoise votes. Real voter fraud happening here. I bet the boring human class president only got like 3 votes in total but I'll never know how much my hero Blastoise was cheated.

Anyway a vote for Binface is a vote for Binface. Vote binface.
