The amount of transphobes that just don't know anything about swords or fencing is fucking killing me. Firstly, alot of fencing competitions are gender neutral. Secondly even if someone who did have a massive strength advantage entered a fencing competition that still wouldn't help them too much because a duel with swords is very rarely decided on strength. It doesn't matter how strong you are, if your opponent hits you that's a point for them. Fencing is won entirely by fucking knowing how to fence, shockingly.

Also, anybody commenting "Why is her hair greasy. She needs to wash her hair" needs to step outside the house like atleast once in their life. Girl just won a fencing competition and she was wearing one of these 👇 the whole time

SHE WAS FUCKING SWEATY

The people on here are posting about communism like it's an aesthetic and it's annoying

[thatboyoveryonder]

Posting in an abstracted realm of pseudo-experience unattached to a material politics *can only ever be* aesthetic. We’re all, or most of us, here to escape into the mind in order to self-sooth the traumas and alienation of the real world that force us into our bodies doing unpleasant and painful and degrading activities to get our bread.

while it's usually anarchists who express the same means as ends philosophy most directly, it's a misunderstanding that's largely shared by demsocs. wanting a society of popular democracy, they oppose authoritarian means of achieving socialism, as revolutionary violence appears to fly in the face of democratic ideals. but trying to win socialism through the ballot box, because it seems democratic, means acting as though we already live in an equal and democratic society, while we actually live in a society dominated by the capitalist class, with a state and "democracy" which are setup to serve that class. that's like trying to win a war by acting like we're already at peace

it will take a revolution precisely because society is divided largely into two great classes — capitalist and proletariat — which have irreconcilable interests, but where the capitalist class currently keeps us in check through violent and ideological coercion. they want us to only do politics through their parliament or senate, since, through a thousand tricks, that very system is set up to keep them in power. and even if, by some great effort, we manage to threaten the capitalist class's power enough through voting, they'll readily turn to violence to regain control. just look at what happened to Allende's government in Chile. in the end, authoritarian means, which crush our enemies' ability and will to resist, are the only way for an oppressed class to finally overthrow its rulers

[thatboyoveryonder]

War is politics by other means, and democracy is the class war by political means. There does not presently exist a politically negotiated social contract between the interests of capital and that of labor, so there can be no democracy.

[byjove]

this is one of the funniest things he has ever said. I’m not going to touch his fundamental misunderstanding of what Communism is and how the ideology has not worked once over thousands of years “I’ll give you everything” *takes it away from others who earned it* thing is his entire ideology, that is what his presidency is

[thatboyoveryonder]

It is not *his* ideology, it is not the articulation of his body’s self-interests, a material politics, but the symbolic abstraction in *all our minds* of his private property that he has invested with the psychic energy of self-identity, a consumer politics, and is the political articulation of *that* interest, of capital’s interests as inviolable and above all other considerations, expressed by the profit motive and price signals as a natural force of the universe and the *literal Hand of God*, and which requires maximal extraction and accumulation for the sake of accumulation. This is the state theology of the US political economy and broadly the global economy through its imperial hegemony that we are all subordinated to and instrumentalized by, wherein through the ritual practice of our self-reproduction in the mercenary incentive structures of the market we pre-objectify ourselves *as* “consumers” articulating an abstracted interest of identity symbols in the cultural firmament rather than the self-interest of our bodies, relating to each other as strangers and potential threats in the chaos of the jungle, and crystallized at the beginning by Calvinist pre-determination and sacred election and which today and closest to the “metal” is the religious ideology of Evangelical Prosperity Gospel and the conservative right, and which is a tacitly accepted pillar of belief by the liberal right of the establishment of the Democratic Party.

[stillnaomi]

the ideological outlook of an organisation doesn't have to include the preservation of capitalism at all to serve that purpose. take the conservative christian group that ran and funded the legal case of the NHS nurses who campaigned to exclude a trans woman from women's changing rooms. by promoting christian moral values and fighting for their protection through lawfare, the christian group is protecting existing gender roles and the institution of the family, which are central to reproducing social relations in capitalist society. every decision of the group's staff and funders can be made on purely faith based reasons, but serve the interests of the capitalist class by shoring up the institutions that help protect the current social order. every ideology serves the interests of a particular class, even if the people promoting it don't have that intention

[thatboyoveryonder]

The theology of capitalism is Protestantism and Calvinism. If they’re doing a Protestantism they’re doing a capitalism, whether they use the symbols or not.

You are a rape apologist. Get your heart right or die.

I explicitly and emphatically disagree, but you’ve made up your mind and it cannot be changed. Which is fine, our activity here has no real impact on the real world, except as stochastic eruption. I will continue to be a self conscious mover in my making of history, and I will always ally and align with the poor and oppressed of any and all demographics or backgrounds.

[kayla-denker]

The issue of trans women being sent to men's prisons isn't brought up as being a monstrous thing because of the misgendering, it's monstrous because we're sent there to be legally sex trafficked.

That's what V-coding is. That is why they are so adamant about sending trans women to men's prisons, because sex trafficking trans women within the men's prison system is an essential part of that system. Being misgendered by this isn't even an issue that's on our radar!

[laceyembrace]

holy shit, to say it "keeps the violence rate down", when these women are being violently raped. aka they dont count it because they dont care when it happens to trans women.

[thatboyoveryonder]

This describes Liberal subjectivity and bourgeois conceptions of personhood, and how those outside the polity are instrumentalized into objects and used to subordinate those within the polity. This describes the global imperial system of relations in microcosm, and here in the imperial metropole with our consumer treats and hedonic conveniences we are made into the prisoners.

[kayla-denker]

Dude, fuck the entire way off. This isn'ta goddamned hypothetical. This is actual living, breathing, flesh and blood trans women being actually legally sex trafficked and raped as a matter of policy for generations, and you come in here to make it some edgy bullshit about "cOnsUmeRisM mAkEs uS aLL pRisOneRs!!1!"

Eat an entire buffet of dicks and make your own fucking post!

[thatboyoveryonder]

I’ll do what I please, the same as you, and I will not eat my ally who opposes systems of imperial oppression and domination that makes us proletarians in the metropole of empire slave and slave-driver in order to perform outrage online that only serves to siphon energy away from material politics in the real world into performance of outrage online, which is always a personal self-soothing of the traumas accumulated in the humiliating and degrading and objectifying experiences of poverty and wage labor and the requisite social repression and disenfranchisement that reproduces the existing state of things.

[maarvarq]

Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.

[theconcealedweapon]

Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.

[tiny-space-whale]

No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.

weird ps1 game i found

[naamahdarling]

This is INCREDIBLE.

[queersona]

ooooojhhh i hate how Europeans think they're not just as racist as USAmericans, they have such a holier-than-thou attitude about it all. As if they don't have such harsh views about the Romani people. Or just as racist views against immigration as the US. Or a staunch hatred against Muslims. Or even a weird hatred against white Mediterraneans who are just a liiitttle tanner than an someone in Norway or some shit

[stressedkillifish]

you talk generally about anything remotely facist or racist and everyone is immediately like "yeah America is so scary! Trump is so dumb lol" NO stop it!! The UK government and news outlets are villanising and removing rights from disabled people DAILY. You post anything remotely close to complaining on your towns local Facebook page and at least half the comments will be talking about immigrants like they single handedly carved every pothole into our roads.

like yes America has big scary issues but as someone living in not America I'm fucking sick of everyone talking about it because it feels like we're using it to ignore our own decline.

[airedelalmena]

It's deeply ironic how this post mentions every racism but the antisemitism. Finally getting around to naming the obvious when it comes to Europeans but there's just too much agreement with this part, so it Simply Can Not be said.

[thatboyoveryonder]

The US, on the whole, is less racist than Europe. Still fucking racist as hell, but we’re at least for the most part self-aware of the racism, tens of millions of us grew up in multiracial and multiethnic environments that normalized the diversity, and the actual racists are largely open about it (rather than just the ignorantly prejudiced, most of whom don’t actively want to do harm to anybody). Less open about it in the post-Civil Rights Neoliberal “End of History” period from ~1979-2016, but with Trump they’ve rather conveniently begun to make their racism more apparent rather than obscure it behind multiple layers of dogwhistles. That’s actually at least not a completely bad thing, because American racism is largely institutionalized and systemic, and obscured by the market and it’s fluctuations, and allowed to fester because Americans have a consumer subjectivity that purchases freedom in the market and recognizes conditions of poverty as either a moral failing or a character deficiency of the individual, with the stupid-ass actual racists imposing a deficiency of biology to explain away the poverty. The most vociferously racist are also the most vociferously classist, and they overlap to a large degree.

[the-universe-and-everyting-in-it]

It is a start. If you are going to go after somebody, then you attack his / their wallet. ~ wakeup - stand up - RISE UP

[thatboyoveryonder]

Weak, procedural bullshit that will solve nothing. If going after their wallets is the actual motivation then strike action, militantly enforced boycotts, and riots are the necessary response. Anything else is theater.

[cuunos]

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

[thatboyoveryonder]

It’s actually 2016 Part X. You can’t convince me otherwise.

[robertreich]

Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity, support, and pay they deserve?

[sheepdog264]

Nope, don't care. The beauty of the free market is that you DON'T have to be a teacher, you CHOOSE to be. If you want that big money, go to Wallstreet, otherwise shut the hell up and get back to work.

[thatboyoveryonder]

A true example of a mind enchanted into the religious zealotry of the market, a true believer only in themselves reflected in the Dark God of capital and its accumulating interests. Not even a real person anymore, a meat-suit for capital’s social motion who has hollowed themselves of humanity and self-assembled into an abstracted abstraction for whatever power requires of it. Nothing more than a drone.
