Sasuke, my son

But then, functionally all of this is just playing with idealisms. there is perhaps discussion to be had, but it is not really the point. Mainly, it is my thought is that it is, as a point of focus, politically unhelpful. Under current systems, the primary concept of a world without gender is going to default to, largely, being seen as 'male' by default, and therefore its main use in current contexts is essentially as a weapon to be used against trans women. In that framework, transfeminity can be at best a socially progressive force that pushes against current norms but is ultimately moving things along towards its destruction. At worst (and in general in the way that i see it used by tmes), gender abolition is a tool of misogyny, something to dismiss transfeminine expressions of identity as being regressive, reactionary. misogynistic in itself. And also, on a more personal note, I find the idea that my being a woman is functionally a stepping stone to a better social framework to be distasteful, unhelpful, and ultimately incoherent.

“I’m just doing what I’m told. If I am ordered to remove gold fillings from refugees theeth then that’s what I’ll do”, says police officer Michael Hansen. Just thought I’d add this since not a lot of people outside of the nordic countries seem to have seen it. This is a danish police officer discussing a new danish law that says the police should seize the possesions and money of refugees to finance the integration.

It’s real.

They also stole the gold from people’s teeth.

Zionist 'Socialism' is such a massive joke man lol like.....anybody who has legitimately fallen for this farce and endorsed it as an example of positive jewish leftism or as a reason for leftists to temper their criticism of israel is either stupid af or disingenuous.

the official dem response to having to pay war reparations

The Laughing Man - Confessions of a Murderer (GDR, 1966) Posing as West German journalists, East German documentary filmmakers Heynowski and Scheumann pay a visit to the notorious Nazi-turned-mercenary Siegfried “Kongo” Müller, pump him with booze, and get him to talk. Müller fought in Congo’s civil war in the 1960s, and the more Pernod he imbibes, the more fascinating this interview becomes. He asserts that blacks are no better than animals and shares his dream of enlisting in the U.S. Army to fight communism in Vietnam and beyond. He flaunts his military paraphernalia, including the Iron Cross he was awarded in Germany in 1945, and proceeds to deny his earlier statements about civil killings, the ethics of war, and the defense of Western libertarian values. This documentary tour-de-force is interspersed with pictures of Müller and his comrades proudly posing with severed skulls, and it touches on other Nazis who are active in Africa as well as American world dominance.

So as a woman when you meet a man from a different culture there's like a weird adjustment period where for a while you think "oh he's not sexist" because he's not buying into the sexist narrative you were raised in, but in time you realize that he did buy into the sexist narrative he was raised in. You just didn't know what that narrative was yet.

do you want to correct this imbalance by having tumblr users be less tolerant towards religious people? what specific examples of religious intolerance do you think tumblr users should start engaging in?

All the while they refuse to entertain even for one second the possibility that it might be *them* who has something to learn about *your* country, that they might not be informed enough about the violence and terror the US military enacted upon your people, that *they* might lack some awareness or understanding of the cruelty and suffering that those poor, propagandized, systemically disenfranchised kids lied to by recruiters gladly participated in enacting which might drive even people who are fully aware of their conditions to still harbor resentment towards them. The possibility that the other person might have a better understanding of the conditions in their country than viceversa and still disagree with them will never even cross their mind.
