^ This though

White dudes have this thing where they believe your best friend in the world can have opposing political ideas. You’re supposed to be able to have healthy debate and disagreeing shouldn’t harm your friendship. That’s gross and stupid. Its really easy to say that when all your disagreements are theoretical. Its easy to say when none of the laws passed actually effect your life. Fighting with your best friend about corporate regulations, school charters, educational funding, abortion, health care, voting restrictions, drug laws, taxes and all sorts of stuff is cool and lively because none of it is going to actually leave you in a bad spot. Its different for the rest of us. I can’t be friends with you if you think I shouldn’t be allowed to vote. We can’t be friends if you think my friends shouldn’t have the ability to designate whatever gender they want and have that be legally recognized. We can’t be friends if you think I don’t deserve health care. Or if you think native children should be ripped away from their cultures and people. We can’t be friends if you think closing down health care clinics in an attempt to end safe legal abortions is a good thing. All these theoretical political ideas and lively debates effect real people, and I won’t be friends with someone who disagrees with me on them. Because disagreement means you don’t see me or a whole bunch of my friends and family as human beings worthy of rights and respect.

why I will not accept agree to disagree anymore

When people moan about how politics use to be “civil” what they’re really complaining about is the entry into the debate of the people those policies actually effect. Bit hard to be “civil” when it’s your livelihood or your bodily rights on the line

Civil, my ass. Leading up to the American Civil War, senators and congress members were known to attack each other in the Senate and House with canes and knives.

We need to bring that back because I bet the Speaker of the House would be a bit less likely to be a completely deplorable human being if he knew it would get him shanked like Julius Caesar.

the grand table in the British House of Commons (and copied in Westminster-style parliaments in many other countries) has a width of ‘two sword-lengths’

OKAY WE SEE YOU SIS

Terrorism as entertainment.

Notice how they target teenage girls because they are afraid of grown women.

but it’s feminazi paranoia to be wary of being around men… it’s generalizing men unfairly… #notallincels…

how fucking sadistic 

“harmless psychological fun” – this is chilling. He’s recommending that other men terrorize girls for fun, and calling it harmless. What is this world.

@setepenre-set

oh my goodness these are so pretty!!

Oooh, it’s Mr Poe

@sixpenceeeaesthetic

god, lesbians are so different from men it’s pretty insane that some people try to group us with them. the amount of lesbians i’ve seen genuinely terrified that they’re making another woman uncomfortable and doing everything in their power to make sure that woman feels safe EVEN IF the other woman feeling uncomfortable comes from lesophobia and isn’t valid at all is wild. like i think some of us who worry we’re “perpetuating the male gaze” or whatever forget that men literally NEVER think of these things, they never think, “oh am i making her uncomfortable? i’m afraid that i am” like. holy shit if a man ever said that i think i’d have a stroke from how surprised i would be

hey this post actually goes double for trans lesbians who have an even more harmful predatory stereotype against them, y’all are wonderful and not predatory thank you
