I just had an argument with someone who was like “why would we settle for food stamps when we could have universal basic income?”

And it’s just like. People need food right now you know.

Ah, I see that Terminally Online "it's American imperialism's fault that I don't know about queer history in my own country (New Zealand)" post is making the rounds again this year. That post has tens of thousands of notes. "It's American imperialism's fault that June is considered Pride month!" uhh, or modern Pride parades as we know them started in America, and American Pride Month is in June lol. Other countries don't need to hold their Pride parades in June (and the person said their country's biggest cities already hold parades during different months! Then they complained that July should really be their country's Pride month. Okay? America isn't preventing you from making that happen lol)--but if you're going to adopt another culture's practice, you can't be shocked and appalled when that culture is associated with that practice. People can totally adopt a practice and make it their own, sure, go for it, but there's a reason why people hear about Stonewall outside of "imperialism" lol, it actually has a lot to do with why modern Pride parades are even a thing! Like I'm sorry you're mad something good came out of American culture, but the American LGBT+ community didn't make anyone else around the world start holding Pride parades at all, let alone in June.

Moreover, if you want to see more information about your own country's LGBT+ history, you could look it up and/or follow more of your countrymen instead of American bloggers, and you could make posts to share that information with others. It's true that other cultures don't get as much attention as America due to its cultural hegemony, and the stories from those cultures are worth telling. But that doesn't mean information about your own culture is stifled and hidden from you by those dastardly gay Americans posting about Pride lol, your dashboard is chosen by you. I know people get mad every time someone points this out, but learned helplessness isn't exclusive to America. Rotting in bed while passively scrolling is global. It's not imperialism that you won't use the same phone you scroll on 24/7 to look up anything useful about your own country and instead passively absorb information from the American bloggers you choose to follow. Honestly it's one thing for someone really informed about their country's history of LGBT+ rights to say "I wish more people outside of this country knew about this" (fair, valid!) and another to act like your own lack of knowledge is some evil plot. No one is responsible for your education but you (especially because the OP was from fucking New Zealand like...you're not in an authoritarian regime that suppresses this information lol).

And quite frankly I think this is just another version of the Terminally Online bullshit you see on here and twitter/bluesky from time to time that's like, sneering at Pride and posts about Pride as "privileged white gay bourgeoise bullshit" (because these people associate America with whiteness and see no issue with that at all lol), which is actually the tankie version of the classic homophobic view that gay rights and Pride are just effeminate, frivolous bullshit. It's brain worms all the way down
