literally just laying the groundwork for fascist takeover but because they're nominally on your side you let them right in

the weird misandry, the forced framing of everything as a gender war, this isnt feminism, it's a reactionary christian personality type doing a roleplay thing with more traditional right wing reactionaries to justify their weird narratives about men and women being inherently different, that these categories mean something that those in power get to dictate

anyone who takes a critical tone of these things is painted as a misogynist or a zionist and even people who agree with the criticism just sort of think you just shouldnt say it or something, it ruins the mood or some shit. fucking embarrassing, our radicals cant do anything but read the room for their politics!

for the same reasons i ask "what is so particularly fascinating about the genocide israel is doing in comparison to all the others" i have to ask "what is so particularly fascinating about sexual assault in comparison to all the other ways gendered abuse occurs"

it should bother you when things that capture the attention of reactionaries are being rallied around but yall just keep engaging basically uncritically. keep boosting people who flirt with antisemitism and "protect women" misogyny because no one really seems capable of calling it out anyway

crazy how metoo was a moment of reactionary hysteria in the same tradition of the witch trials but leftists are still coping that there's something to be salvaged in that great reaffirmation of carceral feminism expressed over a sexual degeneracy scare

i actually dont know how people in nominally anti-bigotry spaces tolerate essentialist nonsense. shouldnt it bother you when someone makes a general statement about categories of people?? like at best it's fetishistic

sorry but you dont actually hate this stuff if you dont want the guards gone, you just want them to kill the right targets

people getting upset at genocide happening? i'll fucking buy it when they can say prison abolition with their full chest, until then all i see are proud wannabe martyrs. genuinely disgusting

listen, if you think you're starting your own religion you've at least gotta be able to handle a minor amount of theological pushback from me

i dont even thing i like the term in the first place to be honest, i think there probably needs to be a better/more precise way of describing that phenomenon

isnt it weird how when you watch science programming most of them clearly turn entropy into a religious thing? what's up with that?

Show thread

should have phrased it *a reversal of entropy but w/e

man i just keep getting more hostile to religious stuff. very grateful one of the smartest people i've ever met told me they considered themselves religious or i'd probably be a lot less charitable than i'd like to be

Organizing and hosting local Linux install parties with training and community building is a reasonable and effective form of #MutualAid in this age.

To encourage users to upgrade to Windows 11 for support, new features, our AI enhancements and more, all current Windows 10 computers will detonate 1 week after we end support, either by overvolting and thus destabilizing the internal battery, or overloading the power supply unit (PSU) in your machine. Connected USB, HDMI, DisplayPort, Serial, and SCSI devices may also be destroyed in the process, and the storage device containing your Windows 10 installation will be permanently bricked.

i've had this thought before but just recently thought about there literally being a prophecy in the story and was trying to figure out what function it served besides flavoring the village

Show thread

thinking naussica is at least half consciously meant to be prophetic

I'm gonna specifically refer here to the concept of "native ecosystems". A lot of restoration focuses around keeping these ecosystems locked in a sort of time capsule of what they were initially, usually initially meaning pre-columbian (for lack of better words). Keeping ecosystems in these kinda isolates makes naturalization of new or evolving species incredibly difficult, which further enables these non "protected" areas to just get worse with species that take an overbearing role on a biome

feel like how people talk about repression is really stupid and only occurs to people who can also meme themselves into feeling guilty about things. you can change almost anything about how you produce desire for any number of things in your life but when you talk about this wrt sexuality or some other more sensitive subject all of a sudden someone can frame it as "repression". i'm sorry but this just sounds like cope for a weird version of blue balls and i didnt "repress" to make myself not experience that phenomenon anymore, i made myself less of an overexcitable/hasty bitch about sex and it disappeared
