  • As a trans army veteran, this shit is so infuriating and exhausting to me it’s almost fucking surreal.

    We have narcissistic pedophiles and anti-social robber barons running our country and social media platforms, throwing gasoline on the cultural firestorm, disappearing and killing asylum seekers and destroying democracy as we know it, meanwhile these insane religious sects are ignoring all of that and hyperfixating on queer people accusing US of pedophilia and calling for our deaths… while they themselves are participating in pedophile rings that often slaughter children once they age out of being attractive to kiddy fuckers.

    What kind of “society” are we trying to make here exactly?

    At some point the people with empathy have to do violence on the people without.

    We outnumber them. Don’t base it on online. Base it on in person. Online is OVERRUN with bots and trolls. It’s not fucking real. It’s a big fucking lie to scare you into giving up.

    Don’t.

    The problem with outright socialism is it always gets toppled, because your success is a threat to the entire world order, and foreign governments can make offensive decisions at a faster rate than you can make defensive ones, since your big decisions have to filter through more eyes and hands in the name of fairness.

    When we’re talking about entire countries, we have to be more pragmatic than idealistic, or our plans just don’t work sadly.

    Pro-tip: Channel your frustration into positivity for better reception.

    Nothing you said was unreasonable per se. It was just how you said it that’s getting you flak.

    You may not give a shit, but if you do… I’m just sayin’

    Socialized Democracy.

    Basically democracy with robust safety nets, strong regulation on business, strong labor unions, and socialized healthcare and higher education OPTIONS.

    Capitalism is good for competition and innovation so we can’t really ditch it completely, but we live in society, not the jungle, so we should have safety nets and socialized options for poor people to gain independence and social mobility.
