Liberals, such as they are, did have your back. A whole lot of folks who allied with the democrats only because they feared conservative racism against them have just found out that sexism and transphobia are things that they have in common with those conservatives and are now mending fences with them.

The descendents of the grand historian still making themselves as popular with authority as always

They are sentient beings and they know they are slaves.

I recently tried to explain to Lemmy that non-white working class voters see their social program as weird and off putting. I was downvoted to oblivion just for honestly relating an opinion from people these chronically online “allies” would never hear from, because they simply don’t associate with seamstresses/fruit packers/construction site crossing guards etc. Not to mention the majority of these folks can’t speak any language but English.

Tell my Chilean wife how she is going to make more money tomorrow than she did today and she will listen. Tell her she is a bigot because she believes that it takes more than “feeling like” a women to actually “be” a woman and she will stop listening. That is what just happened here.

I am from a different cultural context than her and I tend to believe what the people who study these issues have to say ie: gender affirming care saves lives. But to say that this one issue determines a persons entry or exclusion from our ever shrinking tent is political suicide, no matter how much we might wish that wasn’t the case.

I am quoting a reply to me from above, let alone the obvious implication of the phrase “thanks for proving my point” from OP.

just pointing out that in no time at all I was implied to be a danger to women based on my comment.

“Perhaps not, but as a woman your response to this post nevertheless makes me view you as unsafe.”

wow, that didn’t take long did it?

Or maybe these college white leftists don’t actually know shit about how working people, non whites and women very much included, feel about anything at all.

Yeah I’m “butthurt” that the worlds most powerful “democracy” just elected a fascist. What are you 12?

edit: I disagree with the mod action above. People should be able to see how infantile the conversation has become and maybe reflect on how we got here.

Funnily enough, my disagreeing with you doesn’t make me a rapist or a sexual assailant

Let’s just keep shitting on men collectively, surely that will help!

Meanwhile my girl is very impressed by my RE in EU4

Looks to me like it’s completely the opposite energy, that is self aware and self deprecating.

All cars are death machines

A fucking love haloumi, I fucking love grilling haloumi on my fucking grill.

Sounds to me like you think a beard is nothing more than an affectation

I love most of what gets posted here as a great reminder of the US‘s unofficial history. However I can’t help but wonder where the “real leftists” are who usually go off about how “authoritarian” isn’t a real word/was invented by the cia/is just propaganda.

you would either enjoy, or have already read, this book.
