The Supreme Court is extremely political, it is not impartial, and it has and continues to be a defacto unelected legislative body.

When they uphold a ban on transfems in women's sports, they are not doing that because they care about the law, in fact the law as written would actually make it illegal, they are doing it because they seek to uphold cis patriarchy.

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

Here it is again. You might want to save it just in case an accident like that happens again

Half of Russians also agree with the statement “it is a great misfortune that the Soviet Union no longer exists;” 36% disagree. This is a slight decline from 2009, when 58% agreed and 38% disagreed.

Our analysis of the World Bank's data supports a conclusion that, in the aggregate, the socialist countries have achieved more favorable PQL [physical quality of life] outcomes than capitalist countries at equivalent levels of economic development.

the USSR was also the single biggest contributor to wwII by a mile, without them the nazis would've basically run free

the USSR also put an end to the regular famines which occured in the region throughout history. they're somewhat famous for having famines because nowadays famines are nearly unheard of, but that is because of the USSR's industrialization.

they taught millions of people to read and write, brought average calorie intake from average 1600 to 3100+, and built millions of homes not as commodities, but as a public service.

The Soviet literacy campaign remains the largest and most successful in world history. Historian Ben Eklof noted: “There is good reason to conclude that in 22 years (1917-39), the Soviet Union had accomplished what it took Britain, France, and Germany at least a hundred years to do. ... An 1897 census reported that just 21 percent of adults could read, though that was almost certainly an exaggerated figure given that anyone who could sign their name and who claimed to be able to read was counted as literate. ... By the end of 1924, literacy rates among rail workers were reportedly as high as 99 percent, with all of the remaining illiterates enrolled in literacy centre courses. In 1928, the rail workers union developed plans to eliminate illiteracy among the estimated 93,000 spouses and family members of their worker members.

and yes, its undemocratic dissolution was a disaster

op's blog exists to launder transmisogynist darvo bullshit like this. he knows what she meant. the entire purpose is to muddy the words of transfems speaking out about victimization, to make people believe any instance of such is in fact declaration of intent to victimize others.

anyone operating in any good faith would show instant contrition and embarrassment at the revelation they were calling someone a rapist for venting about having been raped. no matter what else. trans-masked has instead doubled down and continued to post about how clearly yay-bunnies is a rapist for saying that in this reblog!
