Actually, as a cis woman who is a fujoshi,

I dont mean to defend him here but wrt the amount of Victorian and early 20th century gay men who had sex with 16-ish year old boys they would obviously be considered a pedophile in the modern era but I doubt they thought of themselves as pedophiles or people who pursued children for sex. It seems more to me that alot of modern gay men who are into "twinks" but say they are not pedophiles would also have fucked a 16yo boy or two had they lived in this era. Back then there were no "teenagers", that is a mid 20th century invention. You were basically just expected to grow up and become an adult when you were 16 or so if you weren't super privileged and sheltered, and even then they were all at boarding schools fucking each other lol. I want to be clear that its a good thing our society is not like this any more, and people having sex with 16 year olds back then were def pederasts/pedophiles in the modern sense of the word. but I highly doubt that they or most other contemporary people would have described themselves as such unless they have a specific disposition towards young boys, which it is clear that Keynes didn't have from his diaries, there's men of all ages in there. Im not even a Keynes fan on account of me being a communist lol but i feel like hes indicative of a certain type of gay man (ok technically bi) from this era (like is from 1901-15).

Like we really gotta reorganize this country on regional lines lol this ethnic bullshit is literally going to destroy the country. Sadly too many people are materially esp financially invested in the ethnonationalist "federalist" system or just ideologically brainwashed so its gonna hard to get rid of.

I'm still researching bc my suspicion is that Israel was mixed up in their anti-Derg insurgency but there doesn't seem to be tons of direct evidence other than them being heavily involved with the Beta Israel airlifts and the operation in general (the guy that basically forced the Israeli government to start taking in Beta Israel was from Tigray and there's no explicit mention of him being a TPLF member but like.... idk smoke and fire you know) and also bc the Derg was by far the most anti-israel government in Ethiopian history, and relations with Israel were re-normalized in 1992 right after the TPLF took power (caveat that the Derg took money from Israel to look the other way for Beta Israel airlifts when the regime had already started falling apart, but the TPLF was literally smuggling ppl to Sudan and bringing them to the Israelis to get out on a plane). Like technically Haile Selassie is actually the one who broke off relations with Israel but the Derg was actually political about it, Selassie was just navigating mideastern politics afaik he always supported Israel. Idk both the US and Israel benefitted from the Derg being destroyed

This one porn site made a parody video of an older southern "senator" with an obvious Lindsey Graham accent getting tag teamed by a couple hung black guys but the problem with that video is the white guy is actually hot. Lindsey Graham has the genetics of one of those hot old white hair southern daddies but his soul is evil and corrupted his physical form. Thats presumably where those weird moles the escorts were complaining about came from. Also his face is just...awful. not even a mother could love that

How is your takeaway from this "oh no! They are banning asexuality!" They are banning being LGBTQIA+. They are just using a modern woke version of the acronym to define who they persecute. De facto they will only go after asexual people that go to pride parades or start advocacy groups or something. They're not gonna arrest you for not filling your sex quota lol

Someone said india needs a cultural revolution (probably true) but it got me wondering if there are any similarities between pre communist Chinese sociocultural institutions like confuscianism and Hinduism. Both do support state power but hinduism hides behind local religious traditions whereas confuscianism seems like more scholarly based? But the importance placed on ancestor worship and stuff does seen religious if not explicitly so
