In case you have never been to China, they regularly have PSAs where people are just put on blast for their gooning habits in front of the entire population at once and 90% of the time they’re about hexbear users.

This is actually a milk analogy. There’s, among others, soy face, cow face, goat face, oat face, coconut face and golden femboy face.

Ah, my mental playlist throughout January.

btw this is the first time ever this happens to a would-be chancelor in postwar Germany, he’s taken an L of historic proportions.

imperial boss guy (I suck at names)

Partagaz. He scares the shit out of me bc he is an imperial guy avoiding all the things that hamper irl fascists, like falling for your own propaganda, becoming overzealous, being an anti-intellectual dingus to begin with or expecting underlings to sucker up to you and sugar-coat everything. Where the rest of the Empire are space nazis, this guy could be space Kissinger. Utterly evil, but also dangerously competent at what he’s doing.

seppos don’t have inbuilt anti-semitism (as compared to europe of early 20th century)

You should look up the newspaper that Henry Ford was publishing at that time.

The entire point of this is that fascists get to be openly antisemitic while accusing Jews of antisemitism. This is by design. Zionist antisemitism requires that any place outside of Israel becomes even less safe for Jews than a settler-colonial project in a constant state of war, and it needs to become really bad for that to work out.

That’s because anybody endorsing this is a tourist who hasn’t downloaded Oblivion Remastered in the first place.

You laugh, but this hits very close to home when your crush starts a conversation about linux distros for programming her model trains and then you vent about it and your gal pal enters the chat to say that she plans installing a dual boot system and which distro she should use for that and then your ex tells you about that vintage French computer she bought that’s somehow linked to transfem culture deep lore. Like, i’m specifically dating the arts and humanities nerds to avoid this kind of stuff because i understand nothing about it and it still keeps happening.

At the very least it would be educational, a test if the British ruling classes’ reflexive subservience to the hegemon is stronger than their reflexive subservience to the crown.

The situation for my trans siblings in the UK is absolutely dire rn. When the courts and the governments are out to strip them off their rights, they need solidarity, not backstabbing. Reacting to these developments by an internal discussion if transphobia should now be allowed on the instance means the admins have already chosen barbarism.

Why stay federated with them when they seriously need to discuss this? What is there to work out, banning a blatant transphobe takes literally 2 seconds. Fuck these spineless cowards and their shit instance.

Gottwaldian just means “person from our Germany stand-in”

Germany today not only scores an impressive 95 out of 100 on the Freedom House index

i haven’t looked at the Freedom House index but damn it must be total and utter dogshit

Edit: oh god it is total and utter dogshit

You know, my bar for reactionary war mongering class traitors incapable of standing in the way of fascism was historically set by the SPD, but the DemoKKKrats make even them look like Lenin incarnate.

Trans women are also affected by baldness and as somebody who’s close friends with several who suffer massively from that particular fact, it’s kinda gross to have to read this. Cis women who suffer from alopecia will also be treated very differently than a bald man.

What we’re talking about here is body shaming. It’s not ok, it’s particularly not appropriate “workplace banter”, but we already have a term for it and it’s definitely not gender-based harassment. Gender-based harassment relies on a gendered power hierarchy. Gendered power hierarchies in our society place men above women, cis people above trans people, binary people over nonbinary people, endo people over inter people and gender conforming people over gender nonconforming people. A trans woman being bullied for wearing a wig counts as gender-based harassment when we use that term to encompass transphobia, because people are actively using the characteristic of baldness to invalidate her gender identity and enforce a hierarchy that places trans people below cis people. A cis man being made fun of for being bald is not that. It’s still cruel and not ok, it is way too accepted socially and if it happens in a workplace environment, it’s perfectly appropriate when his coworkers get sanctioned for it because it’s just shitty behavior. But it’s not the same thing as the experiences of women in the workplace in a patriarchal society.
