East vs West statistics
"Trans women are men, this is a nuanced opinion trust me"
the more this one learns about the fall of the DDR, the more of a tragedy it seems. only a year before its fall, 86 percent of citizens said that they wanted a reformed version of socialism. when the country held its last elections, West Germany (FRG) promised not to interfere and then its political parties, predominantly the CDU, proceeded to buy the election for its sister party in the East, printing millions of flyers and newspapers, donating vast sums of money, providing free "advisors", and having its senior politicians tour the DDR to give speeches
when the two halves of Germany decided to unify, the FRG stripped the East of public assets, in violation of the constitutions of both East and West. the majority of wealth in the East had been held in common and administered by the state, and the initial plan would have divided it up amongst the people, giving each around 40,000 Deutsch Marks. instead, the Federal Republic sold off the East's enterprises on the cheap and lost money doing so
to make matters worse, the West forced through a currency union on terrible terms for the East. overnight, exports from the East rose in price by 400-500 percent and bankrupted major industries. 39 percent of the DDR's GDP had come from exports
the country wasn't unified, it was more like the East was looted
Where did you get the 86% statistic from?
was doing a first aid course and it kept talking about how when applying first aid to a child you have to ask the PARENT for consent and how the child's consent is not enough unless you cannot reach the parent. and then immediately after there was a unit on shaken baby syndrome, and then mentioned abuse as a common source of children getting injured. and they didn't see the irony there. i later asked the instructor what to do about parental consent if the medical emergency was from the parent abusing the child and she was like "you still need to obtain parental consent. you can report the abuse though" not even acknowledging how fucked the whole system is. i hate it here. youth rights now
Non-vegans justifying rape against animals ans genuinely implying cat hysterectomies are the same as jerking off bulls and fisting cows??? 🤮 they make me want to cry i thought most people are not vegan because they dont know about the rape but i guess they dont care 😿
I like one (1) post about nonbinary positivity, and suddenly my whole feed is "Transwomen should be thrown into the meat grinder #anti tme/tma #exorsexism" fuck this hellsite
“People should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.” “Isn’t it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?” “I’ll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.” “Autistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.” “I don’t want AMABs in my space because they’re dangerous.” “You shouldn’t have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.” “Anyone who does something that awful isn’t human.” “Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”
This is eugenics. This is phrenology. THIS IS NAZI SHIT, YOU ARE A LEFTIST BUYING INTO NAZI SHIT. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO NAZI SHIT.
No I’m pretty sure eugenics espoused the explicitly opposite perspective on “white people being inborn evil.” That’s your example of eugenics? Seriously? You do not respect the topic then.
eugenics runs on bioessentialism. saying all white people have inborn evil does in fact belong here because even though in practice eugenics never targeted white people on the basis of race, the spirit is there when people say things like this
also funny how you singled out that single part and said OP doesn't respect the topic and ignored all the other examples lmao
Eugenics was very specifically *in favor* of white supremacy and pretending as if it has ever included white people as inferiors is just laughable and offensive but thanks for being stupid
Ofc this person is a transandrobro 😭
almost seven years deep into the 2020s this feels less like a retrospective evaluation and more like a prophetic vision
Wow look, a post about an issue trans women face! Will the replies be:
“This applies to trans men too! Actually it applies to trans men even more. Why are you being so exclusionary?”
“This happens because people see you as men. Men are literally so oppressed and we never get to talk about it. Did I mention how oppressed men are?”
“This affects real cis women too!! It’s very important to bring this up and keep talking about it and honestly it should be the only thing talked about because who cares about trannies”
“Ive literally never seen this happen EVER. It’s probably because you are terminally online. No I’m not a trans woman, why do you ask?”
All of the above!
And it’s all of the above! Every. Single. Time!!
I think a lot of you understand oppression as "how many people are mean to you online" and not like. A systemic thing that affects all facets of one's life.
"yes, i know western media lied about iraq, cuba, vietnam, china, palestine, libya, pakistan, yemen, and somalia, but north korea?? no way, impossible!! they would NEVER lie about north korea!! this is the one time they are absolutely accurate and telling the truth!!!"
that's how most of you sound.
The actor and musician faces allegations from 10 women in total who say he mistreated them as teenagers.
Four women have accused Oscar-winning actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct, with the alleged offences having taken place when they were teenagers.
In total, 10 women have spoken to the BBC documentary - Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret - with nine of them sharing their stories publicly for the first time.
All the women say they encountered Leto between 2002 and 2016, when he was in his 30s and 40s. He is now 54.
"This was 25 years ago… he has gotten away with it," says one of his alleged victims.
The BBC has corroborated a number of the women's accounts with friends and family who were told about the encounters with Leto at the time. In some cases, we have also seen pictures and messages that support the women's accounts.
Reblogging to add this excerpt as well. 120.
I feel like one of the reasons why many leftist (socialist/ communist/ anarchist and anything in between) men are so misogynistic is bcus they think that since they're leftist, they've reached peak wokeness and they completely ignore that theres a whole pile of patriarchal conditioning they need to unlearn, then consequently, they wonder why a lot of women dont feel safe or represented here.
like during international working women's day, i never saw any ig posts about it from leftist men, and when a woman creator called them out, there was radio silence. Even in the household, they often leave domestic labour to the other person (usually the woman) to handle it, while simultaneosly preaching abt how capitalism exploits women's unpaid reproductive labour.
so to the leftist man reading this, do better.
whatever you call this
