lets get the circulating for the fourth of garbage

the fact that people refuse to understand trans women as capable of being victims is not some petty grievance, it is literally the thing that that makes being a trans woman so much more dangerous than being a cis one

and failure to really grapple with this fact as well as disregard for the mechanisms, social and political, of oppression of trans women, is why so many otherwise Fine TME women "Marxists" start saying shit that makes me finally block them on this site.

"i dont like intersectional feminist terminology because it implies that i have the capacity and means to enact violence and thats unfair because im literally so niceys" - one of the most dangerous and unsafe people youll ever meet

these people will say "hey dont group me in with all the other white/male/cis/TME people, im one of the good ones" without a shred of self-awareness

ok but if you go to the actual article the person was buried with women’s accessories and in the manner reserved for women and from that they decided it must be a gay man which is sort of hilarious

annnnddd scene!

cis lesbians be like: yes, trans men can be lesbians because they have a special afab girly girl female connection to womanhood. and “transwomen” can be lesbians because anyone can be anything i guess. i am a respected ally of the trans community.

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

every cocktail bar I've been to in Japan, from Fukuoka to Sapporo, has given me simple, but free tableside snacks to munch on, ranging from salted peanuts to popcorn. Oftentimes, I get free pickled veggies at Izakaya. The responder is correct and as we've shown, this is another mombot situation. Still, I wanted to share that you don't even have to go to a Mexican restaurant to get free garnish. This is not an adoption of a foreign value; this also happens at "traditionally Japanese" places of varying degrees.

My basic thing is "If your definition of capitalism could also describe the economy of ancient Sumeria, then it's not a good definition"

What economy should a good definition of capitalism describe?

The economy Marx describes in his writing: Industrial revolution era Britain. Characterized by the decline of artisan labor and the rise of mechanization, and the proletarianization of both the peasantry and the artisans over time.

What makes that economy a good description of capitalism?

It distinguishes it from previous iterations of class society with different primary features and different contradictions. The whole point is that it is important to define capitalism as something specific and historically contingent instead of opining vaguely about some suprahistorical "politics of greed" or what-have-you. The world we live in now exists in the way it does because of a number of objective historical contingencies and circumstances that can be dated back to the industrial revolution and which, crucially, can't be chalked up to vague notions like "human nature"
