Amethyst (they/them)

As problematic as this site is, I love being able to point at reality and say that it's real without getting dogpiled like I would on reddit.

(Just to clarify, this reflects positively on the user-base of bsky, but certainly not the management.)

It's right there. He said that Israel has a right to exist. Aside from hiring an expert on the english language to provide an analysis of what Mamdani said, I don't know what more I can do but repeatedly repost this video. 🤷

The actual material world means nothing to them. They only care about their idealistic head-canon.

In their minds, their worldview can't fail to conform to the evidence, it's the evidence that fails to conform to their worldview.

People who claim that Zohran Mamdani is anti-zionist are showing that they don't care about reality at all. They judge "reality", not by the evidence of their eyes and ears, but by what's convenient for their liberal worldview.

Liberals support Keir Starmer now, but when the time comes that they have no choice but to denounce him, they will say that Keir Starmer was an example of horseshoe theory that the left must answer for.

Anyone who says "Comparing Trump to Hitler is offensive because he hasn't killed anyone yet" is basically saying that the people Trump *has* killed (e.g. Palestinians) are so dehumanised to them that their deaths aren't even worth considering.

They sell us individualism because we can't defeat them alone.

Any libs still trying to push Gavin Newsom are wreckers. It’s really that simple.

I've often wondered what an actually decentralised non-profit social media would look like. One where some corrupt CEO isn't just going to ruin it for profit.

That's probably called "going outside", tbh, but it's harder to find people like myself there (like lgbt people, for example).

Oh, will you be leaving? :(

Looking through binoculars around Moo Moo Meadows in Mario Kart World has a small chance of activating a "cute jumpscare" Easter egg whereby a group of Para-Biddybuds will suddenly look into the binoculars from the other side.

Hey, you in the LGB but not T crowd

Feel good? Feel proud?

I don't want bullies to bully my kids, so I'm going to beat them to the punch and bully my kids before they do! /s

Liberals have created and normalised this set of rules where, when leftists lose, it's the left's fault, but when liberals lose, it's still the left's fault.

The image is a meme shared by a Twitter user named "SocialistFlamethrower" with the handle "@SocialistFT." The text above the image says, "Never in my life, have I seen a meme this concise." In the illustration, there is a large boot labeled "capitalism" pressing down on the ground. Underneath the boot, a person labeled "liberals" is painting a scene on the underside of the boot. The painted scene depicts a sunny sky with clouds, suggesting an attempt to beautify or improve the oppressive nature of the boot. Beside the person, there is a small table with two chairs, a teapot, and cups, adding to the imagery of a quaint, idyllic setting under the boot.

The "of equal rights part" feels like reformist lip service, honestly. Like when liberals think they can reform capitalism to make it "equal" or reform the police department to make it not racist.

Nous sommes le 7 octobre.
Deux ans se sont écoulés depuis le début de la guerre.
Deux ans de faim.
Deux ans de déplacements.
Deux ans de bombardements, de peur, de douleur et de perte.
Pendant ces deux années, j'ai tout perdu.
J'ai perdu ma maison.
J'ai perdu mon frère.
J'ai perdu la santé.

Today is October 7th.
It’s been two full years since the war began.
Two years of hunger.
Two years of displacement.
Two years of bombings, fear, pain, and loss.
In these two years, I lost everything.
I lost my home.
I lost my brother.
I lost my health.

i’ll never get over how some people pointed out trump was going to do project 2025 and then eventually the media asked trump if he was going to do project 2025 and he said “never heard of it” and the media decided he surely couldn’t be lying about that one

Robin Williams daughter Zelda is pleading with people to stop creating AI videos of her Dad.

I’m pleading with you to stop using generative AI.

It’s destructive to the environment.

It’s destructive to artists.

It’s destructive to humanity.

It steals from us and churns out slop.

Just stop.

Before replying trying to "correct" a disabled trans person's lived experience of this country and it's politics, given that she's lived here through it all, maybe think twice and keep your opinion to yourself

Scarlett is awesome and deserves better than this. Xey put so much effort into their community and disability and personal circumstances have really fucked xem over. Please donate if you can!

Also, @ilysxmmit.bsky.social has a hammer and sickle in his username, so, coming from him, "x isn't socialist" can only be a criticism rather than an endorsement.

For future reference, supporters of China are almost always openly in favor of socialism. "China isn't socialist" is only ever a criticism of China, typically made by libertarian socialists (including ancoms).

In all seriousness, it's only no true scotsman if you're trying to *erase* the meaning of a word. This is the opposite.

Libertarian Leftists: "Words have meaning."

Capitalists (including state capitalists): "That's the no true scotsman fallacy."

"All Jews support genocide, and you're antisemitic if you disagree."

- zionists

"Get back to work (for us)"

- Capitalist politicians

Preventing somebody from accessing hormone blockers is fundamentally the same as forcefully injecting them with testosterone/estrogen.
