The problem with "culture war is a distraction from class war" is that "culture war" isn't an abstraction and the people harmed by institutional bigotry are every bit as real as the people harmed by wealth and income hoarding.
In fact, they're often the same people.
Culture war IS class war.
you think it's impossible for a gay man to sell out to queerphobic fascists?
boy howdy have i got some bad news for you, buddy
you don't think that a person suffering persistent abuse makes them significantly more likely to consider suicide as a means of escaping the abuse?
really?
I’m shocked, stunned etc.
Meanwhile, everywhere else around the world assumes Australia has cracked it and are rushing to copy their law.
Feeling childishly happy that Maya Forstater and Julie Bindel were in the crowd when I ad libbed both my TERF comment and @transparentaction plug for affirming parents.

There was a palpable shift in the room. A kind of hushed roar for Alice. It was very special.
You've all been electing politicians who believe in supply-side economics for decades. This is far less cringe, embarrassing, and harmful.
Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.

AI is out there telling people to put garlic in their buttholes. Just thought you'd want to know.
do you think that's a serious tweet and i'm presenting it to you in earnest?
it's mockery. i am mocking you for saying what basically amounts to that.
might as well! you're the one arguing that a PM should be able to be as corrupt and incompetent as he pleases without ever being held to account!
42 people. millions of trans people are being tortured by their governments because of 42 people.

It's weird. I can oppose both Israel and synagogue shootings for the same reason: killing people in houses of worship (or hospitals, or schools, or day cares, or homes) is evil and nobody should do it. It's actually really easy to say "don't kill a bunch of people in a house of worship."
extremely weird of you to say starmer should hang around then, if it's not just partisanship
like, if polanski did some fucked up shit that hurt people (and i mean actually fucked up shit, not some nonsense about boobs) i'd want *him* gone too!
having standards is a good thing!
people who still support the labour party in any way in the year of our lord 2026
i know principles are alien to you folks but i'm still kind of stunned that you'd come out and say it like that
