This is war. This is civil war. There is no political solution. Here's an image of a guy with gun. Here's a video of a violent crime. Doesn't it make you mad? Get angry. Here's a Sam Hyde meme. Here's more memes. Look at this guy in this movie. That's me. Like when a child sees superman and wants to be him. Except cool because I'm angry. Aaaaaaaa. People should be rising up in the streets rn. Im not doing that since it would be a bad idea but some hypothetical group of people should.

OK now you guys all get as angry as me and make your own posts saying the same stuff and be pointlessly angry all the time and post as if the posts are magic and can change things and aren't just us using social media as therapy and ruining everyone's timelines with a flood of garbage posts for days until we calm down

If we do this over and over enough times after every news story that upsets us we will save the west for sure

womanhood is by definition an exclusive club. we exclude people who are not women.

if you are a man, we exclude you. we exclude you gladly, proudly, and because you are physically stronger than us, we exclude you under threat of weapons when necessary.

womanhood is not meant to be inclusive.

[rabbits-of-negative-euphoria]

another word to get comfortable with: discriminatory

we discriminate against men in our club called Womanhood. by happy obligation. we have discriminating judgment.

i think some of you dont like narratives or stories or characters i think you just like fanfiction tropes

[taahko]

protagonists can and will be sexist, racist, insensitive, cruel, stupid, etc, especially towards the beginning of a story. these are called character flaws and they are a surprise tool that will lead to narrative fulfillment later

[mapswithoutwyoming]

And sometimes "narrative fulfillment" doesn't mean "the character overcomes their flaws" or even "the antihero is punished for their flaws"! sometimes it means the narrative says "wow was that fucked up or what? anyway i'm rod sterling"

things that would exist if intellectual property wasn't a thing

so much cheap generic medication. reverse engineering compounds would be even more financially profitable.

fewer people dead of vaccine preventable illnesses in the global south bc the greatest barrier to distributing some vaccines like hpv is their ip

plant seeds and grafts that come from the plants instead of licensing them. don't invest so much in preventing cross contamination. more localised experimental breeding.

library of the world: every book and journal article in the world could be digitised and be searchable for every person in the world to read regardless of where they live. cheap reprint runs and local translations everywhere.

an online interface where every citation could actually lead to the text in question

freedom from the hell that is DRM software

everytime someone reverse engineered your shitty proprietary software we would all be freed from it instead of them getting DMCA'd

so much hardware would be opened up & therefore made so much cooler.

so many more songs that riff off and sample and interpolate shit from this decade instead of like 70 years ago and more analysis of music that didn't keep getting nuked off the internet

preserving movies and tv shows and games as long as someone, somewhere has the desire to host them

just go publish your fanfic/art/vid as is instead of all us pretending it isn't fanwork or begging the corporation for mercy / licensing

a world without ip lawyers. im getting chills just imagining it.

[nocakeno]

#there cant simply be no more IP we need acrive anti-IP enforcement #or else companies will still enforce various paywalls and implement DRM a bit differently on their own #same w medical formulas and tech we need active anti-patent anti-privatization enforcement or theyll find a way to withhold it for profit #IP laws are one of the tools of capitalism and colonialism #when increasing capital is the way the entire system works and benefits them #they will always find a way even if you get rid of IP #this isnt to say its useless this IS to say be more anti-IP now and then keep aiming higher

[nyantara]

this is true, but right now to break DRM is super mega illegal and setting up shadow libraries sends you to jail, for life. people who hack video games get sent to jail. reverse engineering is illegal as fuck.

if we enforced anti privatisation that would look like forced licensing by nation states, like you discovered a drug? now make the formula and its manufacture public. its much more complicated. simply abolishing the threat of IP litigation protects the people who make the ongoing IP regime bearable and encourage more people to be involved in efforts to liberate intellectual property secrets.

[greater-than-the-sword]

You could literally have all of this if IP were just severely limited instead of being abolished.

Because I want to point out that the total abolition of IP would also mean that major corporate publishers of every kind of media can start distributing work from any small artist or author that gets popular, stealing their work and their audience and their money and making big budget films or merchandise from their ideas without paying them.

That is the kind of thing that IP is supposed to prevent.

You can fix a very large number of the problems with IP just by:

A) follow the actual constitution of the United states to the letter when it says you can't patent any natural process. Reproduction of living organisms is a natural process. Also abolish drug patents.

B) place software under patent instead of copyright, where it belongs. (This fixes right to repair stuff.)

C) severely limit copyright duration.

D) Nerf the ability of a corporation (as opposed to an individual) to hold any sort of copyright, although I'm not 100% sure what that would look like.

E) Pass laws encoding the nature of fair use in such a manner that it makes it extremely difficult to prosecute derivative works.

[greater-than-the-sword]

Some more specific ideas on this:

IP dies with the original author, unless the author transfers it to an heir via a legal document. In that case the copyright dies with the heir and cannot be further transferred. The heir has to be an individual and not a corporation. It can be sold or licensed to a corporation by either of them, but it still ends on their death.

Corporations can't sue individuals for derivative works, only other corporations.

The only kind of derivative work with some restrictions on it is a full adaptation that preserves the core essence of the work. "Unauthorized sequels" etc. will be left up to trademark, eg. judged on the basis of how easy they are to confuse for the author's brand.

Please pray for the young men who have lost their sons, their brothers, their friends, and their fathers to suicide;

Pray for those men who are in addiction, in poverty, in hospice, who go through bullying and isolation and domestic abuse, who have been raped and are sexually abused, who are self-harming and contemplating suicide. Who are struggling in their homes, marriages, families; with their health, and their safety. Please pray for all the young men who have lost their lives due to PTSD and insufficient support and trauma and accidents. Please pray for the surviving families, and their male members, whose sons, fathers, and brothers were targeted and taken away from them too soon because of crime and violence and injustice.

Please pray for our young boys and men, for we need them as much as they need us.

A reminder due to some weird ass sentiments I keep seeing

You do not owe anyone your living location, your facee, your name, your voice, or anything else about you online.

In an era of increasing pushes to identify ourselves for the police state you don't have to prove to anyone you are who you say you are over the Internet, especially fucking tumblr.

Stay safe and remember internet safety!!

[vigilantkilliforniakatholixxx]

The media was more outraged over a white girl in a jeans commercial than a white girl murdered over her race. Let that sink in. Horrible.

[thehairyclaire]

Friendly reminder that you are allowed to pray for your enemies and you SHOULD pray for your enemies!! It will change your heart like you wouldn't believe. Highly recommend

[mrtobenamedlater]

We should. It’s hard sometimes but we absolutely should.

if you cheer on the father of little children getting shot just because you disagree with his politics please unfollow/block me. you're vile and have abandoned all conscience and humanity.

[heatandapathy]

My favorite defenses are "he was controversial" and "he provoked people". By that logic, every member of the media, every politician and 90% of people posting on reddit and twitter are fair game.

[autumnal-thunder]

One of the saddest aspects of Charlie Kirk's assassination is that he wasn't one of those right-wing grifters who branded himself on getting "liberal tears".

While commentators like Matt Walsh refer to leftists as "demons" on a daily basis, Charlie invited anyone who disagreed with him up on stage to give them a platform to speak. He listened to them, had honest conversations about their differences, encouraged them to reach their potential and dreams, and genuinely cared for all of his countrymen and women regardless of their beliefs.

To the people celebrating his murder; he was one of the last conservatives willing to have conversations with you.

YouTuber Mikayla Raines, founder of Save A Fox, dies by suicide after online harassment | The Express Tribune

Save A Fox founder Mikayla Raines dies by suicide after battling mental illness and targeted online harassment.

[butchtuxedosam]

One of the ringleaders of the harassment was a transgender pedophile furry who probably knows nothing about animal rescue.

Of course they’re pretending to be a victim of transphobia but can’t produce any proof of anyone calling them slurs or sending death threats.

[pineapplecake555]

I have extremely bad face blindness, is she the lady that had Finnegan Fox? I think I used to watch her videos….

[feministwhobites]

yes, that was her.

[celtyradicalfem]

How could anyone hate her????

[an-awkward-tangerine]

Anybody has screens/logs/info/anything about what happened, why he targeted her, proof of the shit he did, etc etc ??

[butchtuxedosam]

Proof furries have been calling this person out for years.

I’m not going to post anymore twitter links because it’s full of doxxing screenshots and I don’t want to get in trouble. But here’s her Reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/KazeoLion/comments/1liyuch/im_not_backing_down_fuck_off/

I think it’s the only social she hasn’t nuked yet and she talks about the situation. Also someone has a backup to a post she deleted in that comment section.

[ned8-back-again]

For a group of people who constantly claim to be murdered and discriminated against, trannies sure are responsible for a lot of harrasment campaigns against women.

coming from someone who used to sweat buckets over saving and spending 45 bucks on a new video game as a teenager i cannot fucking believe nintendo has the audacity to charge 90 (ninety) (as many as nine tens, and that’s terrible) mother fucking dollars for their new games. if i had a 90 dollar game on my christmas list as a kid my mom would have broken me in half

[echoictwistofdarkness-deactivat]

So don't buy them.

This dumbass just made everyone female

[keyntac]

congrats to america for finally electing a female president

[hawkeyedflame]

male fetuses are not female at conception oh my god you people are so fucking stupid. they have XY chromosomes, they are not female at conception, at all, ever. just because they don't differentiate male-specific phenotypic traits directly at conception does NOT mean that they are female first and then suddenly male later on in gestation. that's not how that works and y'all either being intentionally obtuse, or you're actually braindead.

biologists say fetuses "start off female" as a layman's explanation that really just means the gonads are undifferentiated in early development and that this undifferentiated state is what female fetuses go on to retain, while male fetuses develop further due to the presence of the Y chromosome. it does not fucking mean that they are all female. if you karyotype zygotes, you will see that male zygotes have XY chromosomes and female ones have XX. this is there from conception. read a fucking biology book before acting like you understand a single thing about the field.

You don't hate these racist nitwits enough

Like to charge and reblog to cast Chinese scientists destroying the Insulin industry

[attackdogz]

the original tweet is from May this year but there has been an update!!

yay for the Chinese destroying the American insulin industry!!!!

[moonlitkat]

Chinese science has been plagued by fraud so severe they literally used phostoshop to make figures for papers. I don't believe a single word they say.

[cisthoughtcrime]

I'm out of words and patience to explain once again that 'empowering' does not mean 'makes me feel confident/good/strong/powerful'. for something to be empowering it actually has to be enfranchising, it has to give you power not just the feeling of power. male approval is not empowering no matter how much it makes you feel like you have power over men by being sexy to them. this fantasy of leading lustful idiotic men around by the dick serves only men.

[mellified-moth]

This whole idea of women having succubus-like power to manipulate men with our beauty and sexuality is really a product of male fantasy that's been polished up and sold back to women as though it originated in female fantasy, and as though we could actually make it a reality, but we can't. Men aren't helplessly enslaved to their dicks, as much as they want to pretend they are, and the power you get from appealing to them is only as much as they're willing to grant you, which isn't much. No woman is actually so beautiful that she isn't disposable, and men are more likely to resent and hate you for this power they project onto you than they are to fall over themselves to please you.

[antiporn-activist]

You are both brilliant

[purple-purple-pink-purple]

The power women have in the sexual sphere has always been being selective. The ultimate expression of this is complete celibacy, with the runner-up being marriage and monogamy. The only way you'll allow a man to sleep with you is if he devotes his entire life to you. If he's not willing to do that, then he doesn't value you. Don't let him sleep with you. If no man passes muster, you don't allow anyone to have sex with you. (Choosing not to have sex for reasons other than the suitability of partners is also really powerful and valid.)

Women suffer under promiscuity. Take your power back

[disgruntled-foreign-patriarch]

very well said. Promiscuity ruins everything and everyone it touches
