I really /seriously/ hope that every damn video game info discord out there, any modding discord, any /whatever/ discord that's a host of information realizes that maybe we should not have so fully willingly abandoned forums as a information resource and put it all onto requiring /a discord server/
Some of y'all need to stop treating Judith Butler as if they're the pope of gender studies. Like what are you going to do when you run into a Materialist Transfeminist with legitimate critiques of Butler's idealism and amaterialism?
"Well Sophia, of course they're the Pope of Gender Studies, it came with the amaterialist idealism."
I mean if they're being used for military purposes including algorithmic targeting and surveillance through AI, then yeah these are all legitimate targets
BREAKING:
This is Beirut right now.
Israel is MASSIVELY bombing Lebanon’s capital in the middle of the night — deliberately wiping out apartment block after apartment block.
Civilian homes. Residential buildings.
No justification. Just pure terror.🤬🤬🤬🤬
Meanwhile, if you are cis...
The literal mentality of the Upper Class.
Us unwashed, uneducated (not at a private school), abnormal (queer) and unskilled (<50k per year) are mewling children who are crying out for the steady hand of our Elders (Richer) and betters (richer) to guide us into being productive (slaves).
There is a right and proper way to Be, and those who refuse are simply acting out and must be brought back in line.
British politics, more than any other, has an unrivalled streak of paternalism where marginalized people are easily dehumanized as spoilt children who must be sternly punished and managed and whipped into shape.
Our advocacy is simply seen as as tantrums.
people, i shit you not, but I've actually had a market socialist (who surprise surprise was a vaushite) tell me that the best way to stop evil megacorporations is to turn them into megacooperatives instead and yes he used that word

What the hell is going on w fedi?
Because they're petrified of trans people who've transitioned early and are 'undetectable". They want to make transition—if allowed at all—as arduous, painful, stigmatizing, and protracted as possible.
To their petty thinking, trans people represent an existential threat to patriarchal 'norms'.
The US fetishises the Military arguably more than any other country in the world, yet the minute a soldier opposes a war they are seen as a traitor to the Sacred Order.
The truth is the US fetishises Military CONQUEST and War but does not care about soldiers at all and never has.
This explains why every trans woman I know looks younger than they are, sometimes by multiple decades.
something something cis activists start working on you when you’re born something something total institutional capture something something
No Iranian ever put my family into a residential school.
No Palestinian ever sterilized the women in my family.
And even if they did you still shouldn't bomb innocent people and civilians.
transphobia is comorbid with being a fucking cunt in every other aspect of your life

Graphic: A soldier in camouflage stands in a forest holding a rifle. | Text Overlay: "IN A VIDEO, FRANCIS WARNED OTHERS, SAYING, 'MANY FRIENDS HAVE DIED IN THE NAME OF MONEY, REVEALING THE DEADLY REALITY BEHIND THE RECRUITMENT SCHEMES." AFRICAN MEN ARE BEING LURED TO RUSSIA WITH FALSE PROMISES OF GOOD JOBS, ONLY TO BE FORCED INTO MILITARY SERVICE AND SENT TO FIGHT IN UKRAINE. KENYAN MOTHER ANNE NDARUA HAS NOT HEARD FROM HER SON FRANCIS FOR MONTHS AFTER HE TRAVELED FOR WHAT HE BELIEVED WAS ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING WORK. IN A VIDEO, FRANCIS WARNED OTHERS, SAYING, "MANY FRIENDS HAVE DIED IN THE NAME OF MONEY," REVEALING THE DEADLY REALITY BEHIND THE RECRUITMENT SCHEMES. NUMEROUS RECRUITS REPORT BEING UNPAID, STRIPPED OF PASSPORTS, AND TREATED WITH RACISM AND ABUSE WHILE TRAPPED ON THE FRONT LINES. THIS SYSTEM PREYS ON POVERTY AND DESPERATION, EXPLOITING VULNERABLE BLACK AFRICANS FOR A FOREIGN WAR THEY NEVER AGREED TO FIGHT.
“Many friends have died in the name of money”
NEW: Russia is luring African men with false promises of good jobs, only to be forced into military service in Ukraine.
Numerous recruits report being unpaid, stripped of passports, and abused while trapped on the front lines.
I will reiterate.
There is systemic infrastructure to dismiss the grievance of trans people by saying we are crazy or unhinged, and affirmatively making that choice to use those systems to get through your day is engaging with a system of transphobia that ends with dead and ostracized trans people.
The U.S. will very likely fight a 3-front war against Russia, China, and Iran, Palantir’s Alex Karp says (August 12th Fortune article)
once again, the United States is planning on waging what will turn into World War III. we are currently in phase two.

Every trans person is like "I knew something was up before I had the words to describe it and had to fight for this for years" and every transphobe is like "one conversation with a doctor could have convinced me to get the walrus surgery from the movie 'The Walrus'"
really fucking easy solution to this: Transition.
That’s over a million people. Lebanon has 5-6 million people in total. We’re one of the smallest countries in the world, and Israel is rendering Lebanon’s agricultural areas uninhabitable by ethnically cleansing its people, spraying its land with herbicides and obliterating everything else.
All of us together cannot be stopped, our time can only be postponed. If your love is genuinely for the people, then they will always carry you with them no matter what happens to you.
