Liberals in 2020: "We'll push Biden left!!"

Liberals in 2023: "If you don't support genocide unconditionally you're a fascist."

[revretch]

...But you guys do know it'll still get worse if a Republican wins, right

[jonpertwee]

No, Republicans and Democrats support Israel equally.

[revretch]

I mean, other things will get worse. Remember how Trump rounded up a bunch of people and put them in concentration camps? Remember that?

[jonpertwee]

Biden is still doing that!!! He just asked Congress for $14 billion for funding the border and to increase ICE officers and expand camps! Come on.

Biden’s Emergency Funding Proposal Seeks $14 Billion for Immigration System From Congress

President Biden's proposal still relies on increased detention and enforcement to address migration at the border.

2020 really showed latinoamérica that you motherfucker really don't give a single shit about us. Latinos are hypothetical electoral bargaining chips to you demons. The INSTANT Biden got elected you liberal gringo fucks stopped talking about us. Never mind the fact that Biden never released the kids from the cages. Nevermind the fact that Biden kept increasing ICE's funding. Nevermind the fact that Biden deported more people than Trump ever has. Nevermind that Biden is continuing Trump's border wall. Your team is doing it, so it isn't a problem anymore.

i believe palestine will be free with my whole heart. the dutch colonized indonesia for 300 years, indonesians, even those who practice indigenous religion, are still here. west papuans are fighting for their independence from indonesia and american settlers, and they are still here. the invasion and bombings of vietnam, laos, and cambodia lasted for 20 years, and i have met some of the most brilliant asian people descended from there. and that was the first televised war! palestine will be free! from the river to the sea. the indigenous/global south world has always survived, and i believe it will live and flourish in the future (in my lifetime) no matter what.

Israel just murdered another journalist's, Muhamoud Abu-Hasira's, whole family including his wife and children as punishment for showing what they're doing

The total number of journalists targeted and murdered is approaching 40 at this time (11/5/2023). If you count the total number of journalists or their families that have been murdered it's approaching 100. Multiple journalists have had their whole families wiped out and are still reporting and working to expose the genocide.

Keep talking, keep posting their work. They've been forced to sacrifice everything for every scrap of information hat makes it out of Palestine

Everyone will not just

If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just…” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.

gender to me is like a car i dont really want one and society would be much better if it was not structured around it. but i got one because it helps me get around and sometimes its fun to make it go fast

[bananonbinary]

i will never forgive the internet for what it did to the word “mansplain”

[bananonbinary]

mansplaining is a very specific phenomonon wherein a man who is NOT qualified to talk about a topic assumed he knows better than other people who ARE qualified, purely because of sexism.

sharing a fun fact you learned isnt mansplaining. infodumping isnt mansplaining. adding your relevant personal experience to a discussion isn’t mansplaining, (as long as you remain respectful of others’ experiences as well, but that’s always true). correcting someone who is objectively wrong and spreading misinformation REALLY isn’t mansplaining.

stop telling men that all of their interests and attempts at socializing are insulting and unwanted, your gender essentialism is showing.

[bananonbinary]

people in my REAL LIFE i have had to convince i like to hear them talk, really:

trans men talking about their oppression

trans women talking about their oppression

autistic men infodumping

perfectly kind cis men who are answering a question i literally asked, or getting passionate about one of their interests

people who AREN’T self-conscious about this:

men who actually fucking mansplain, oh my god the whole POINT is that they dont care about other people’s thoughts, why do you think whatever this fucking campaign is would bother them

[bananonbinary]

this is making the rounds again and the amount of people in the notes accusing me of being a man is hilarious. like no i just dont like being mean to people and alienating my friends, sorry.

[harperhug]

I would like to add men of colour talking about their oppression.

[the-amber-droid-dreams]

[Plain text: I would like to add men of colour talking about their oppression.]

[river-dyke]

the way that in queer contexts cis women like to go around accusing anyone in a button down of mansplaining now should be studied

crying so hard night now. he is cute is that not enough to let him compete

[demilypyro]

D&D going mainstream really messed up people's expectations cause chances are you're not gonna find a DM who has the free time, talent and resources to put on a tale that competes with Tolkien. you're gonna find your friend's roommate Phil who's read one of the manuals a few times and has to pause to get a calculator out to figure out how much damage your attack did and his story is blatantly ripping off a dragon age 2 side quest

[ryan-sometimes]

As a lesbian, it’s happened twice already that one “guy” stands out to me and I think “huh maybe they’re kinda cute and interesting, I wanna get to know them” and then I get to know them better and it’s a closeted trans girl who I somehow sniffed with my little nonbinary lesbian nose

[river-dyke]

my greatest claim to fame is that i dated/hooked up with THREE girls who weren’t out as girls yet
