You are fundamentally incorrect.

He wants to make it his stupid things like “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico” take up that spot. Not his insane pick for departments, not his plans for cutting social security, etc.

This might be hard for you to hear, but you can’t control what other people focus on and your strategy is stupid and bad.

Nothing will stop people from disregarding the people who raise hell. Raise hell anyway.

That’s stupid! Words are actions!

It’s not a stunt, it’s total megalomania and you are falling for the coping tactic of pretending he’s not serious in his literal statement to expand the borders of the US north and south.

It’s one of the stupidest most pathetic excuses downplaying the serious things Trump is saying. It’s appropriate to take Trump seriously and literally.

You really fucking believe he wouldn’t nuke a hurricane? Why would you believe that? He does all sorts of stupid things. Sometimes he’s told no and the morons take it as evidence that he wasn’t ever serious.

The incoming president has declared his intent to expand the borders of the US north and south. That’s news. If you don’t take that seriously and literally, you’re just burying your head in the sand. Stop spreading this mindless denialism.

Trump is actually threatening to invade Panama, that’s not just a ‘distraction.’

Trump actually did try and lock Hillary Clinton up, it wasn’t just bullshit.

I despise the extent to which denialism hides in believing that if we ignore or don’t report on the facts of Trump’s terrifying actions (speeches are actions) that will somehow improve the situation.

I have explicitly told you I don’t care if I come off as unreasonable, so what’s your problem?

Then read it again. And don’t police tone.

I am taking some rhetorical leeway towards a more radical presentation of the perspective, for clarity.

Solidarity can only be achieved once people can recognize one another as equals, and “women tell men how men should advocate for themselves” is not equal recognition. Of course women don’t think they’re womansplaining the oppression men experience.

I don’t believe in reason-based argumentation. Reason is how consent is manufactured. I trust reason only within the confines of the emotional message a so-called rational actor is emitting within the performance of the ritual of discourse. Too many women have been told to shut up for being ‘unreasonable’ for me to take reasonability all that seriously.

Certainly mothers should perform their motherhood within this lens. Their motherhood is centered, not the primacy of their opinion. The mistake the essentialization&monopolization type feminists make is centering feminism, when an ideology is not a cure for anything except the nagging sensation that if we come up with and communicate the right ideas the problems will go away.

In my left leaning circles it’s pretty well understood that feminism is about helping women. And that’s a good thing. Trying to make feminism an ideology which serves all genders is problematic because it implies an omniscient perspective counter to proper intersectionality. Men experience oppression but only men can represent their oppression in discourse.

Women can’t and shouldn’t feel like they can have an opinion on men’s issues. “Stay in your lane” comes to mind.
