ive known chinese-americans who love diversity and immigration and are good pals with their muslim neighbors and hispanics..... and then you bring up the Hui and they get incandescently islamaphobic, or you bring up the Tibetans or Uyghurs and they get SO fucking imperialist.

Shri Thanedar's politics - broadly left of center on domestic US politics but with a huge carve-out for Hindutva - actually makes him the closest non-Jewish analogue to a certain kind of American Jewish politics.

Everyone is 12, and not the kind of 12 where you have snuck hundreds upon hundreds of hours of reading books your parents are at best conceptually aware of

This is worth amplifying (also this podcast is rad), that Roman slavery was, y'know, slavery. In fact, all slavery is horrifying, but the broader 'Mediterranean' slavery tradition (which is also, by the by, the ancestor of Atlantic slavery) is one of the *more extreme* such traditions.

Next time someone tries to tell you that Roman slavery was different or better than other forms of slavery, tell them to listen to last week’s episode of @thisguysucked.com and/or buy Emma’s book.

why do i even bother talking to my family sigh

This is where your hormones are made. You are not going to replace this on any significant scale by boiling a pot of mare piss in your shack after taking down The System. Being able to medically transition is only possible because of that evil soulless modernity.

Synthesized hormones have only existed for 100 years and are only able to be produced at scale do to industrialized chemistry. Any movement against modernity and pharmaceuticals is going to be inherently hostile to trans people's healthcare no matter how queer and counterculture you paint them as.

> Uses force optimized for COIN operations against a poorly armed insurgency with no sustainment ability or long range fires > Runs out of materiel because you forgot mass industrial warfare against actual states was a thing Many such cases!

"US has used 'virtually all' PrSM and ATACM munitions" we are out of ammo www.reuters.com/world/us-has...

Look, I know there's a reason they exist, and many have done missions quite well, but the concept of a Reservist Special Ops guy is unfathomably funny to me. "Yeah mate Monday through Friday I'm a Geology Technician but then once a month I'm an operator". Like. You joined the war part time.

being the subject of bigotry is fucking awful actually especially when its layered

this website has the juice lmao

Hi, hello, I'm a constructivist neo-pagan who worships a pantheon of goddess as aspects of myself and ritualize this religious worship through practical rituals of material praxis and exercising of skills: LGBTQ Christians, and Abrahamists generally, should be treated with suspicion.

for once my smug protestantism is correct

No, please, none of this "Pope is woke" nonsense again in the feed. Americans just don't know how rancid Catholicism is where it still has institutional power, and that Vatican is largely fine with what's going on in those countries.

see im a socialist and a trans woman but i specifically hate the lets do crime/post-left/anarchist/postmodern types of socialism. im a scientific leftist who believes in institution building and redistribution, not endless critique and representation without substance

honestly growing up upper middle class and an abuse survivor popped the mythology for me These people, college degrees, nice suburban homes, small businesses, perfect lifestyles, are ALSO as shitty and mean as the people they mock and look down upon. I think all humans have the capacity for it rly

The law is necessary for society to function and all that It's also capricious and bullshit at times that destroys lives in for totally incoherent reasons It's also basically made up It's also the realest thing that exists: You cannot have a society without connective tissue and standardization

hell yeah lets do amphetamine

Hail and well met, traveler

it feels good to work in healthcare and have plans for eventual firefighting/military service, because every society needs medics and every society needs firemen and every society needs trigger pullers. no not the american military, my plan is to join the canadian military some day.

“After the Revolution I will lead reading groups” No you will dig latrine ditches

If the US were subjected to PRC occupation, me and most of the people I know would be dead of apparent suicide in People's Armed Police custody so I think I'd prefer to avoid that outcome but judging from the flag in that guy's pfp, dead Asians don't count

THERE'S BUTTPLUG SUPPORT FOR EXCEL!?

i find it annoying when egyptians or morroccans say "Sudanese arent arabs, theyre black" guys. you can be Black AND Arab. arab isnt a race!

We know what we know about Berlin. Islam is not the problem. Christianity is not the problem. Religion as a whole is not the problem. Using religion to HARM OTHERS is the problem. And anyone wanting to say bullshit (and people found liking it) is getting run through Blocksky.

the secret fix for this is to do opioids so you feel loved again

its funny how parents will always start saying they love you long after its too late for it to have stopped all the self doubt and inadequacy they made you feel

this is true but bugs bunny is also gay bugs bunny [checks notes] wait sorry motoko kusanagi is bisexual bugs bunny [checks notes] hold on that's also bugs bunny. motoko kusanagi is girl bugs bunny [checks notes] hold on that's also-

It's been such a treat seeing people find out the OG Motoko Kusanagi is just a gay Bugs Bunny

This is true of many countries that are now asserting themselves in the modern world. No, Turkey does not have the "right" to Northern Syria just because it was an Ottoman sanjak. No, India does not have the "right" to Bangladesh because of the Mughals or the Guptas centuries ago.

sorry but as a healthcare worker none of you should be leading shit. "Patient led free clinics" my ass. the end result of the "holistic healthcare" and "patient autonomy" shit is *MAHA* and the RFK Jr raw milk types, sorry

Upcoming events 🧵is here #MilkTeaAlliance It's been 2001 days since the coup in Myanmar. Over 100,000 have died, millions displaced, 100,000s fled the country, attacks on civilians continue The Peoples of Myanmar continue to resist. Our continued solidarity with them! linktr.ee/MilkTeaAllia... 1/

It's weird that both sides of Taiwan discourse pretend that it's still the Nationalist Government being run by the Chiang's. This hasn't been a thing since the 1990s!

"Taiwan, like Spain, left dictatorship behind to become a normal democracy with gay marriage and universal healthcare" is something a lot of people can't wrap their heads around.

you can be against Sinophobia and also be against China invading Taiwan, which is something the Taiwanese clearly DO NOT WANT in case the past decade or three haven't made that abundantly clear
