Thank you divorce for all you've done for music

The divine right of kings but it's a curse

You will wear the crown, you have no choice, the spikes growing on your head have a metal sheen to them and coalesce into a mock halo. You will command, for your voice is a terrible thing, you are a terrible thing. You will be just, and you will be fair, for any grievances you cause to your people scar your body and leave lasting pain and false promises sizzle on your tongue like hot oil. Your god is watching and it won't forget what your ancestor did and it won't let you go

Are YOU gonna let THE GOVERNMENT tell YOU what YOUR GENDER is? That doesn't sound like Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to me! PROTECT your individual FREEDOMS and call your senator: we want the GOVERNMENT to stay OUT OF OUR PANTS! GENDER FREEDOM NOW!

Two men in your neighborhood are married... to EACH OTHER? Congratulate them for exercising their AMERICAN RIGHT to follow the footsteps of our FOUNDING FATHERS! They've got a fully AMERICAN spirit of FREEDOM and REBELLION! GOD BLESS THE USA.

Your coworker has a different RELIGION from yours? Well, that's just INTERESTING and you should talk about it on your UNION-APPROVED LUNCH BREAK. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA was FOUNDED on Freedom of Religion and ANYONE should be allowed to seek the AMERICAN DREAM!

You think someone might be in this GREAT country ILLEGALLY? NO YOU DON'T! No one is in this country illegally! The minute anyone steps on our SOVEREIGN SOIL they're your FELLOW AMERICAN and where they come from is NO ONES BUSINESS.

it's funny yeah, but guys this is actually how you reach the people who prefer these terms to frame all things Good and Correct.

"convince your followers that their Oppressor Class (whether real or imagined) is less deserving of human rights" is the oldest and most reliable trick in the book to incite mass violence, and you're not immune to it because you're a Good Person with Correct Opinions. you will continue to be a potential breeding ground for fascist thought until you stop dehumanizing people in any context, regardless of whether they deserve it or not, or how serious you are. there can be no acceptable targets.

“Anything goes as long as it’s punching up” is also the central tenet of antisemitism. Leftists think Jews are the ultrawhite ruling class, worst of the worst of whiteness, and conservatives think we’re a race secretly controlling the world and pretending to be white as a plot to bring down the white race. People who believe the latter are in charge of the US government rn. The nature of antisemitism is that we serve as a misdirect for the people with real power. Whatever issues you care about, people in power will find a way to blame the Jews. I cannot remember the exact quote or who it’s from, but I will paraphrase it anyways. Depending on who you ask we’re communists, capitalists, nationalists, rootless cosmopolitans, white, least white, liberals, conservatives, fascists, anarchists, or whatever other “existential and powerful” threat one may believe exists. But what we never are to these people is human. We’re the monsters who hurt them and so it’s okay to hurt us. The truth doesn’t matter, of course, because they aren’t actually afraid of us. We’re just a safer and easier target, and the lie that hurting us is dangerous and makes a change is easier than the hard truths and dangers one must face to fight real power. As Jean-Paul Sartre said, “If the Jew did not exist, the antisemite would invent him.” Because it is not about the truth, but having a comforting lie that you can make positive change through abusing the vulnerable.

Having a loved one in Israel is weird bcs I have every personal reason to want this war over as soon as possible, but I can't hang around and talk with other people against the war, bcs most of the people against the war in the west kinda want the person I love dead, and yeah.

Why is the dickhead responding to op calling themselves stoptheantisemitism

G-d's bravest Turkish racefaker who has been proven thru IP logs to be from Turkey lol

I have a loved one in Israel who *is* Palestinian (an exchange student my parents hosted who became like a sibling to me). They're not a colonizer, and they don't want their Jewish neighbors dead either. <3 @forevermorallylucky, I wish nothing but safety for your loved one, and peace that will keep all Palestinians and Israelis alike safe.

@apikale I really appreciate your kindness and I also genuinely wish for the best for your friend! I am an outsider to the war and I can't even imagine the pain Palestinians go through but I genuinely try my best to understand the situation as much as I can and empathize with the people involved and living there

Can literally anyone explain why “girlboss feminism” is actually bad tho. Why is it bad for women to be strong and successful. Does anyone know or do we just hate women. No one says “boyboss” when the main character of an action movie is a guy who kills a bunch of dudes.

Also it’s shortsighted and illogical. If we were to change the social and civil laws that are unfair to women, women have to take over every influential position to make it happen. Because real effective change comes from having seats at the table, not from protesting outside the door or begging those in power to feel sympathy for us. I honestly think bashing that idea is psyop by men to discourage women from seeking more positions of power. It’s not surprising to me that right after this, tradwives content became popular because women don’t have to work and be a girlboss anymore. They should just let men lead the home and the country and it’s okay. If anything that tells me women are close to a breakthrough, all this resistance is because we’ve hit a vital nerve in the patriarchal structure. We should go back to that instead of this current nonsensical movement.

i genuinely don’t know how to explain to some of you that the USA isn’t the Source Of All Evil in the world in a way that you’d actually understand it

Also as an eva stratt fan I think women and girls like her so much bcs she is a great power fantasy, like she is powerful and also harsh and also pragmatic and also complicated which is things we are not always allowed to be So that's the reason for a lot of the defense of her

in your impossible quest to become the 'best person' some of yall have completely forgotten to be just a plain good person

"Only white people could-" wrong. Doesn't matter that you follow up with something negative instead of something positive. People of color have access to the full range of human experiences and thoughts, believe it or not, including those you deem negative, and are capable of behaving in ways you don't personally approve of. You guys would love phrenology I fear.

A lot of people's idea of being anti war is desiring one side to completely obliterate the other through conquest, and thinking they'll be no war after that because the enemy race has been neutralized, which is definitionally the most pro-war thing you can think.

let’s start parsing who does and doesn’t deserve representation and assign moral weight to agreeing to protect their rights I don’t see how this could possibly go wrong

This is the endpoint of assigning morality based on ontologies of people. You wind up with the simplest ontology: good or bad.
