We live in a fascist nation. What now? Once they win elections, it’s already too late.

This article is excellent and details real solutions about how American fascism can be overcome with historical examples of what worked and what didn't.

It’s really disturbing that people care about the mass slaughter of innocent people only when it impacts children. Fuck everyone else I guess?

Maybe 40 hour work weeks are a fucking scam and I’m not broken for being tired all the time

Liberals watched The Hunger Games and thought Katniss was out of line and should have just protested peacefully

YouTube video by Wes Tyler Why the U.S. Is No Longer Safe for LGBT People

Discussing why I believe the US is no longer safe for LGBT people (or won’t be very soon)

This Zionist supports the mass slaughter of innocent Palestinians

He is

I hate it when guys don’t signal any interest overtly, and I have to decode it. That’s the scariest kind of interest because I let my guard down and then feel taken advantage of. The bait and switch of our neutral exchange now retroactively gets framed as flirting I didn’t consent to

As AI continues to replace laborers in knowledge work/white collar professions, there is a high chance this results in a spike in suicides among men.
Male self-worth is often inextricably linked to economic agency and social status, both of which are directly impacted by permanent career loss.

Neolibs love to pretend supporting genocide is a tiny issue that doesn't matter to deflect from their complete moral depravity and gaslight people with real moral compasses into believing they're being overly nitpicky or unreasonable

Too often people conflate peaceful protesting with non-violent direct action.

When a protest has a scheduled start and stop time, city permits, and police escorts, then it represents absolutely no threat whatsoever to those in power.

Going walking every day is hands-down the best thing I ever did for my skin. And my penis.

Where did these arms come from 👀 not mad about it though #gay

I have always wondered the same thing. I feel like it would only work if you have ED?

It’s interesting how we as a society have decided that plastic shorts should cost $78, and that this is completely reasonable and NOT ridiculous.

For obvious reasons. Sex is evolutionary oxygen. It is the entire point of existence. When entire generations of men are sex-starved, it creates anger, tension, hostility, resistance, radicalism, extremism. All of this is political.

Why Straight Men Would Rather Kill Themselves Than Hug Each Other And How The Masculinity Prison Is Self-Imposed

By othering fraternal love as “gay”, straight men betray their ancestral imperative: to connect, to bond, to be part of the tribe.

Grifting is such an interesting concept. Market logic applied to cultural capital. Supply and demand for identity, enemies, scapegoats, underdog stories. Leveraging collective sentiment for narrative control. Cultural entrepreneurship. Scary stuff.

living under fascism must be quietly terrifying. The heighted nervous paranoia about everything that never goes away, and the illusion of compliance that masks a quiet collective of fear. Everyone pretending to comply, a reinforcement loop of gaslighting. A prisoner's dilemma.

The thing about escaping fascism is that it will always feel a little paranoid and too early when you’re escaping safely. But it has to. If you wait until it’s obvious, it is too late.

Trump’s push to frame Obama for treason (a felony that is punishable with the death penalty by the way) should terrify everyone because if they’re willing to go after someone famous, wealthy, powerful, and globally loved, they will absolutely go after you too.

People who don't belong to themselves will use a surrogate for belonging, like external environment, city, culture. And when external environment changes (which is inevitable), they feel a sort of ego death. Because they built their ego on something so fragile and temporary.

it’s shocking more people aren’t homeless with just how much things can go wrong in such a short amount of time. And also the extreme reliance on family support systems that many dont have. The US privatizes basic survival to family. Which makes basic survival a lottery system.

Forcibly amputating part of someone else's genitals is sexual assault. Doing this to an adult would be considered a heinous crime. But when done to a child, it's merely "culture." But a sick and twisted one at that.

Creative types have spent their entire lives attaching their ego to their creative identity. Now that AI can do their jobs better, faster, and cheaper, they are literally experiencing an ego death. The backlash is the inevitable consequence of egos that don't want to die.

Drag is such an interesting distraction. The real drag show is the audience performing giving a shit about some dude in a dress grabbing money from people while a song plays in the background. Performing queer inclusivity by performing giving a shit about drag. That's the real drag show.

"If you were a spineless tribalist coward like me, you'd support genocide too" - Yeah, I guess that's true.

Imagine another animal puts something on your body that you can’t take off, and you just have to live with it for the rest of your life.
