libs love to be all "perfect is the enemy of good" until you ask them what a country was like before the socialist regime

google may be broken, but it's still the fastest way to get to wikipedia, which is not broken

taking ARVS is valid but cannot be conflated with combatting hiv

i am so angry at the computer today

yeh, coz trans people just never get told their transitions are vanity propping up the medical industrial complex. this is a completely novel and benign sentiment with no implications or context

it's so completely revealing of how much ppl see medical transition as a frivolity (but of course, a "valid" one), and not a matter of health and wellbeing, just vanity and narcisism

frustrating too coz i do actually vibe with analysis of trans rights through a disability justice lens. this isn't that though

so im reading 3 panels all about the shared struggle between trans and disabled people, but then the last panel only mentions the trans related medical interventions as propped up by white supremacy and how valid you are without?
was there smth stopping her from mentioning insulin or back surgery?

interesting she didn't list any non-trans related medical interventions for disabled ppl, despite the emphasis on a joined struggle

when someone talks about a smth being bad in the context of a specific analysis and theory, i recognise that i also don't like that thing, so i dont need to learn what those theory words mean coz i already intuited it means you don't like the thing the same way as me

in the way that einstein saw god as a metaphor for the universe, i basically think milton friedman was the anti-christ

but i guess that was the result of post war axis re-assimilation policies driven by a desire to take advantage of a weakened ussr. but i do feel like the 80s neoliberal takeover was when they rly secured the bag

it may feel like modern fascism secured its place in power through an economic coup by chicago school monetarists that produced a purely mercenary political class that would inevitably devolve into an arms race of extortion rings aimed explicitly at manufacturing the most shocking crimes imaginable

being a credulous reactionary is, in fact, Your Fault

no, you dod not believe trans people were "doing walter white shit in their basement" because trans people chose the wrong word to describe diy, you believed it because you are an incurious moron who is incredibly susceptible to anti trans propaganda because affirms your prejudice

wild how you see people talk about having believed insane propaganda about trans people and upon correction will conclude that it's trans peoples fault for using the wrong words

so nothing's rly changed except the genre of games

did u know u can weaponise your ocd against your self loathing habits with something i call "illegal thoughts".
it's like psychological three stooges syndrome except you make the stooges fight eachother

obviously mocking tech bros stupid enough to give an llm souch access that it fucks their life is good and fun. but this is also software that's being forced onto everyone and lies to users to manipulate them into granting access privileges and that sounds a lot like malicious software to me

techbros going "dont grant the llm access to your system or it will fuck it up!" and now im just a simple country lawyer, but dare i say that any software that destroys your system, and without direction to do so i might add, falls under the category of "malicious ware"

oh so i saw the terfs using the fact epstein was a chaser to oppose under 18 transition. that puts some discourse into context like yeh that's pretty heinous and basically the same logic used to justify FGM

wonder what happens when a different group is offered that choice, a group not typically considered to wield power, offered dominator or victim, while having fresh meat laid out before them, painted in the face of their most hated ex

big part of why trans women are so heavily targeted. under this framework we are viewed as rejecting that program and actively opting in to victimisation. not only are you rape meat, you're not allowed to complain abt it coz you chose it.

and this isn't some blank slate program, this is also a filter mechanism. you either get onboard or get targeted until you take your exit

like, i don't think it's a disconnected fact that fraternities and societies and macho culture tend to integrate sexual abuse and humiliation as ritual. i think that's actually a core part of producing a culture that views sexual violence as simply a normal and procedural event

obviously theres a massive asymmetry (a prerequisite to hierarchies of domination), and it's a very difficult thing to approach coz like, who cares if the guy that abused them has also been victimised when he responded by reproducing it.
but like, it's smth we need to contend with at some point

I don't believe that rape culture is a product of participants simply having no personal experience of victimisation. I don't think experiencing sexual abuse teaches you feminist consciousness. if this were the case, private boy's schools would produce nothing but ardent feminists

how sad that such desires can only be met via clinical and legal systems of control, ultimately denying the taste of anima that is so craved

humanity has strayed very little from our animalistic origins, evident in the continuous replication of the process of verifying the status and trust of strangers through crotch checks

the current way in which "reasoning" models work is by effectively creating a bicameral mind, which is pretty funny to me. wonder if that wasn't directly inspired by westworld
