Geometric Denazification

FR!!! I also think it's important to mention that as a trans girl, I see a lot of other white trans girls appropriating asian culture because they associate it with femininity, which genuinely pmo as a wasian girl (i am more white than asian and am very white passing, so I can't fully provide input on this). This definitely ties into the larger point of the video, bcs I have not seen other people call out these issues and they are usually ignored, and when they are brought up people are just blatantly ignorant ("if i can't see it it doesn't exist"). even i don't feel like I've noticed the issue this person is talking about, but I am not in transmasc spaces so of course I wouldn't see it. I doubt this person has noticed transfem asian appropriation, but I have since I am in largely transfem spaces. but either way, this problem definitely exists in both spaces, and it definitely still needs to be addressed.

Extremely funny reblog to be written by the person who blocked everybody who interacted with a negative review of their dreadful fantasy novel

this is why, as flawed as they are, I do not agree with the people who write off imperial core labor unions. they have issues, but those issues can be fixed, and if you live in the imperial core involvement with labor unions is by far the most effective way to engage in politics.

"fed" is like a Hyper Insult that can lay waste to your opponent when they're disagreeing with you about something lgbt-related.

there are people who act like bourgeois & petty-bourgeois are like. tax brackets

"i do not dream of labour" is one of the worst pseudo-marxist taglines that western leftists have co-opted because when you ask them what they do dream of, they say traveling, studying, and creating art. broski, who's flying the plane to take you to prague? who's the security at the library with the texts you're studying? who are the clerks in the museum showcasing your art? like bro, you do dream of labour. you just dream of someone else doing it so you don't have to! you merely want to outsource the labour and make it invisible.

I don’t think this does away with the legitimacy of the basic sentiment that work shouldn’t be the point of life to be honest, it just shows that class society has always made that dream a reality for a few while condemning the many to endless toil. What’s new about capitalism is that we don’t even need to do this to maintain a large scale global society at this point. Work is no longer central to life for millions of people in the world who are thrown out of the workforce by automation or who are forced to make their living in nonsense careers that have the sole function of accelerating the circulation of commodities and money through wasteful consumerism. Yet nevertheless working society gets on without them just fine, and can even produce enough to sustain them as dependents on social assistance. Since the 1940s most mass working class movements in industrialized countries have been in opposition to the centrality of work, and even the welfare rights movement for example is about this since it’s critiquing the fact that people can only “earn” their right to live by working for money yet at the same time there aren’t good jobs available for everyone. After experiencing mass disruption to the workforce during the pandemic, seeing how many jobs didn’t actually count as “essential workers,” and now seeing just how many people can be unemployed while the system continues to work, wouldn’t poor people demanding that their needs come before the imperative to work have a revolutionary meaning today? I think there’s a real distinction between this sort of refusal of labor and the middle class one you’re describing, even if both find a recuperating institutional outlet in consumer culture

ngl i don't think socialists should totally surrender the word "democracy" to liberals

The person who tweeted “y’all can’t even boycott Chick-fil-A” was right then and continues to be proven right now

Ehh I think the fact that a failed tactic (individual consumer boycotts) is still being pushed despite its failure (admitted to even in this post) is kinda more reflective of LGBT politics than losers who eat that trash TBH

It's gotten to the point where someone describing media as a "turn your brain off and have fun!" thing just pisses me off. I don't want to turn my brain off. I would like to keep it on to have fun.
