For thousands of years humanity has selectively bred chickens to have larger breasts and to have to lay eggs constantly. We did it to get more meat and per chicken, but from the perspective of the domesticated chickens they’re sorta living in a very specific fetish scenario

@photomatt should kill himself.

I genuinely hope this circulates forever.

accusations of "whataboutism" are a particularly childish piece of sophistry, where the interlocutor is pretending to not know what they are actually arguing about and are annoyed that you won't play along

when an anticommunist talks about so-and-so soviet atrocity, and a communist points out that this atrocity, however genuinely bad, pales in comparison to the scale of imperialist violence perpetrated daily by the united states, or that it represents a significant transformation from the much worse state of affairs in tsarist russia -- this is 'cheating' in the rigged game the anticommunist has constructed, because it is acknowledging that they are not in fact discussing the atrocity in and of itself for no reason, but in fact forwarding the argument that this atrocity is uniquely indicting of the USSR specifically and communism more broadly. by bringing up context and points of comparison you are addressing this, the real point, and not letting them play their silly game where they pretend they are only arguing about the specifics of a particular historical event and no more

How fucked in the head do you have to be to think the atrocities of the USSR are in any way of lesser scale than the relatively minor harms of imperial America.

How fucked in the head do you have to be to think the effects of american imperialism can in any way be described as "relatively minor harms"

position you can only hold if you genuinely believe iraqis are not human

various tv, film, and theater producers for the last 50 years smacking themselves in the forehead like fuuuuck how can we make it easy to understand why carrie is alienated from her peers and callously bullied at school WITHOUT making her a hideous fatass like in the book

I thought we were good as gravy, but you just wanted to get your pey wet
