I don’t think people like Pete Buttigieg are making decisions based on some polling they’re seeing that we aren’t, I think instead they’re trying to appease large donors and secure backing for future campaigns that they don’t particularly care whether they win or not.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

i believe the centrist position on this is "it wasn't a genocide up until the minute we recognized that it was and in fact if you called it a genocide before we did, your lies helped flame the fires that led us to this point." being correct too early for elite opinion is far worse than being wrong

wait the math on this is actually hilarious. given that the current federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr and an espresso martini is usually like 15 bucks, a $30 dollar espresso martini in a $30-an-hour minimum wage world represents a doubling of real purchasing power lol

Some specific things the labour government has done:
* Effectively outlawed trans people from public spaces (oh you think they haven't? How long can you hold your piss?)
* Continued to supply Israel with weapons to conduct a genocide contrary to court rulings
* Continued anti-migrant crackdowns

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

Biden did this shit after the election, too. This isn't even a political calculation; most libs have lived for decades in a world where transphobia was the norm. It's what they believe in, deep down. Liberation is a radical commitment; don't trust anyone who fears radicalization.

A lot of Palestinians managed to access things like sugar and cheese yesterday because the prices fell quite abruptly and the shops managed to fill shelves again. Now is a really good time to donate so they can stock up. If you're overwhelmed by the number of people in need, just choose randomly.

This is genuinely western liberalism summed up in a 30 second video. Incredible. Put it in an art gallery.

Actually, my real question is: do you believe there can be meaningful, qualitative differences between works of art, or is everyone somehow obligated to enjoy everything with equal enthusiasm? If it's the latter, then on what basis is that obligation derived?

you do not get to declare yourself an ally. an alliance is a mutual decision and no cis person can be our ally without actually standing with us

if you support any politician who is still "debating" our basic human rights or listening to "reasonable concerns" about our existence you are our enemy.
