did this turn out to be fake?

also his song is about how fat people don't deserve welfare

[PhoenixDark]

We gonna talk about how conservatives heard some lines about welfare moochers and immediately thought "black people"

"We'd love to enforce stricter penalties on this violent offender doing community service because we don't think he's doing his community service, but weirdly all the clerks we send to investigate end up mysteriously dead before filing their reports"

"Prisons are dehumanising, so my solution is to remove all human rights from anyone who breaks the social contract"

It's an insane belief set and also incredibly contradictory, given that many of the leading abolition people always get caught cheering when celebs are sent to jail for domestic violence/violence against women.

[Uncle]

if such a law were actually on the books, imagine how society would warp around it

there would be forums of people actively looking for anyone who wasn't doing their community service so they'd have a right to torture and kill them

they would subtly fuck with people on the edge of forfeiting their community service to make them fail and get open season declared, like trying to make them late to appointments and such

and there would be morons who don't fully understand the law and torture such people before they're formally declared beyond the law; to be one step away from that would be almost as dangerous as the actual thing

Perfect example of the disinformation that spreads uncritically in the trans community:

I want to say that with trans folk now being at risk of the fucking death sentence in Florida....

The time for community is Now. The time to start planning and organizing how to get our rights back is NOW. bring it up at your local LGBT craft events or book club or support group or whatever. Tell your friends. Spread the word. And maybe see which ones will have the safety and resources you'll need should a Lavender Hunt happen in your area.

And on the scarier end of reality....

This is fucking terrifying. Lots of people are at risk. Personally, I'm terrified this rhetoric will spread much like Trumpism did. I'm scared for my gf and I'm fucking scared for myself because we know historically that it isn't just trans folk on HRT or drag performers that they go after.

And you have every right to do whatever you need to protect yourself.

I'm not going to shame folks who quit HRT, who take the rainbows out of their bio, the people who start saying partner instead of revealing a gender, or anyone else taking a few steps towards the safety that the closet provides. WE shouldn't.

I fucking love you. And we'll be okay as long as we're together, okay?

We keep us safe

I looked up the lavender scare last night and was sadly unsurprised to see that the last time the community came together...was a lavender scare.

Pride was a riot because the government started doing to us then what Florida is doing to us now. It was triggered when a man was fired from his job on grounds of being gay and tried to take it to court.

This is why we have pride. This is why "think of the children" is/was an awful rhetoric to push at leather daddies and drag queens. It's not just a bad opinion or stupid discourse, it's a talking point for the right wing to justify fucking kill us.

It was never "just discourse" it was a right wing psyop to cripple us from coming together to fight against attacks just like this.

Your enemies aren't other queer people with labels you don't like. Those are your allies. Because you know who else doesn't like them?

Nazis.

And they don't like you either even if you have a "normal" queer identity and you don't make it "your whole personality" or whatever.

You're both still queer. And that's all they care about. Trying to placate bigots wont save you. Quit playing the part of "acceptable gay" and throwing everyone else under the bus.

Besides, that they WERE thinking of the children when they started those riots dressed in stuff that makes you squirm. They were thinking of You. Of your life. Your children. Queer children.

Broke: think of the children
Woke: think of where you'd be right now if Drag queens and leather daddies weren't there to throw that first brick. Think about about all the other people currently at risk of being killed through the Same Exact method that you had the privilege of escaping, precisely because of the people you can't stand.

An interstate rainbow railroad.

For those unaware that's this. It's been done before.

A lot of people are scared. And I really, really want you to know that the riots started because someone scared asked for help and people answered

It wasn't organized. It just happened. People decided to risk it at a moments notice.

This is ours. And we've done it before.

Find your niche and offer it.

People need help, you figure out how/who can, and then you follow through.

Can you drive
have gas money
have extra food
Got some clothes or meds
An extra bed or couch
maybe even an extra property or hotel room to spare?
Do you have money for those things?
maybe you're able to connect people with needs to people who can help?
can you share/spread posts asking for help?
Or may you can just make them some tea while the host of the house is out cuz they don't want to be alone in a new place
Maybe you keep up morale by just being hopeful
can you somehow show that there are people who are taking steps to materially care for and support trans and other lgbta people in Florida?
What can You do?

Because you are not nearly as powerless as they want you to believe, especially with some help.

This ENTIRE post is worth listening to, it doesn't matter if your trans, or not. Please just fucking listen. For the queer kids and teens and for the adults and drag queens that are scared. Nobody should be scared to die. Not just in florida either.

It's all based on this completely false tweet:


This simply isn't how the legal system works even if this law did in fact say this. (It does not.) I have yet to see any trans "elders" explaining this is false and why it's false, instead they amp the genocide talk for their own personal gain.

"Prisons are dehumanising, so my solution is to remove all human rights from anyone who breaks the social contract"

The natural result of assuming everything that exists has been specifically imposed for the nefarious purpose of preventing utopia rather than the current result of a long process of evolution. All of society's institutions are a social construct created deliberately to oppress people, not a single one can be beneficial to minorities and thus must be swept away for the bliss of the Hobbesian war of all against all.

Remember, these are our intellectual betters who trust in science because they think they're the first person to ever consider anything.

The real problem is that Rousseau got there first and they're just repeating all his crap forever.

Eight because this is great discourse:

Even their children could not be more perfect. For one thing, they are twins, and there are few things cuter than twin babies (besides cats, which are infinitely cuter). And these are biracial children, a handy defense when people bring up Pete Buttigieg’s troubled relations with his Black voters while mayor of South Bend, Indiana. As Nathan J. Robinson pointed out in an extensive review of Pete’s (first, so far) autobiography, Shortest Way Home: One Mayor’s Challenge and a Model for America’s Future, “South Bend African Americans make half of what South Bend whites make. They’re twice as likely to be in liquid asset poverty as whites. Their unemployment rate is nearly twice as high.” Buttigieg attempted to win over African American voters during his presidential run, but it was too late, and he failed miserably in South Carolina: to his surprise, Black voters turned out to be smart people who knew his history. Given their talent for curation, it’s hard not to wonder if the Buttigieges didn’t also choose their children as carefully as Melania Trump chose her outfits. This doesn’t mean that the pair don’t love their incredibly adorable children, but given that even Chasten looks like he was chosen from a catalog of “Good Gay Men,” it’s safe to say that even the most seemingly personal details of Pete’s life are carefully chosen.

Chasten Buttigieg pushes aside such complications surrounding living and dead public figures in favor of heroic narratives that present much simpler tales: brave gay people fighting against all odds and sometimes facing the worst consequences. And, certainly, the current political climate on LGBTQ issues is deeply troubling: recent anti-trans legislation has mushroomed across the United States, leaving trans children, youth, and adults under threat of attack and erasure (we will note, again, that Chasten makes no significant mention of trans people in the book), and gays and lesbians are hardly much safer amidst a rising tide of conservative politics. But if a memoir about gay life and its possibilities is to be honest with its audience, it needs to be less afraid of the raw truths facing its readers.

I Have Something to Tell You presents a gay life that, having overcome some obstacles, is nevertheless able to purposefully stride towards an apolitical “American” life. Along the way, it recasts vital parts of American and gay history. In this version of America the Gay, gayness is translated as either a tragic life to be overcome or as one that can only be happy when straight people first pity you and then allow you to marry. Inconvenient complications, like angry queers organizing around AIDS or demanding rights outside of marriage, are quietly brushed away. It’s an admonition to “youth” to only be a certain kind of gay. As a political manifesto, I Have Something to Tell You provides a blueprint for a gay constituency whose only challenge to American empire and capitalism is that our most oppressive institutions should be queer-affirming.

Chasten and Pete will serve as the Ken and Ken dolls on top of a wedding cake, obscuring any memory of a time when queer radical action meant demanding the seemingly impossible: universal healthcare, an end to poverty, housing and security for all. Chasten has something to tell us, sure, but it’s a well-modulated, soothing whisper, telling tales of good gay people sitting decorously at the table. Queer people have suffered and continue to suffer enormous harm not just because they’re queer but because capitalism only sees their worth when their identities can be deployed to further its own ends, and its spits out those too inconvenient to have around (angry radicals, trans queer youth demanding a say in their own health, and so on). But youth, across sexualities and whatever their age, deserve more and better. They deserve to know their radical history and that the world can be an exciting place for them, but they also need to know that they should avoid and ignore decorous gay men whose lives, fabricated across multiple, anodyne memoirs, serve to erase both the darkness and the rich complexity of real lives.

So much culture war stuff really just boils down to companies, studios, and corporations catering to people (mainly white women) who are clearly mentally unwell or unstable. This person is insane. Now how do we sell her/him/it a new phone.

Youtube political influencers are the worst

I've noticed how many people on the right side of history have really enjoyed telling women to just get over something they care about...
