- Comment on I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia 1 day ago:
The fact that anyone would need this amount of mental gymnastics to find reason enough to relate to the women potentially being targeted, to be against it, is pretty fucked up in its own right.
A large part of how patriarchy works is that men aren’t expected to, so often don’t, give a shit about the harm it causes until something impacts them directly, and even then, they will only actively oppose it if it harms them significantly more than what the patriarchy benefits them (toxic masculinity being a prime example of self harm many men are reluctant to fight).
Catering to this feature of the system only perpetuates it. Stop creating convoluted ways for them to relate (even “your mothers and sisters” shouldn’t be needed), and start expecting, and demanding, they simply consider and therefor treat all humans equally (which magically leads to caring about what happens to women just as much as they would if it were men under threat).

It has settled the debate - our government hates trans people, and is actively withholding our human rights and going out of its way to harm us.
If that isn’t a pressing issue to you, you are part of the problem and a transphobe.
- Comment on Switching notifications off? 3 weeks ago:
Ok, that makes sense, I’ll give it a try, thanks!
It’d still be really cool if a “switch off notifications” option was implemented at some point!
- Comment on Switching notifications off? 3 weeks ago:
Oh, that really sucks. Is it something the devs might be implementing at some point, or does no one else generally mind?
This way you can technically still go there if you need to look but zap just the number.
If I zap with ublock, I assume the icon will be gone? In that case how do I check notifications if I do want to?
Also, would there be any way to diferenciate notifications from replies vs DMs? Because I’d still like to be able to see one (DMs), but could go my entire life without getting another of the other.

- Comment on MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying 4 weeks ago:
Is it really?
I’ll say it again:
Maybe try listening to the people it actually impacts?
One of them is right here telling you you’re wrong, and I’ve provided more than enough information for you to start understanding why. All you’re doing by refusing to listen, is reinforcing my point.
- Comment on MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying 4 weeks ago:
Or just people who feel like a burden.
Except we don’t “just” feel like a burden, we are very deliberately made to feel that way by ableist capitalism, with the help of the state, and a multi-trillion pound media industry that pushes that narrative relentlessly because we’re the easiest scapegoat to blame the empty tax pot and other ills of society on, to distract from those really to blame.
The “this is great, I’d rather die than be disabled” many abled people react to this legislation with is part of that ableist narrative, because they can see, even if they won’t register it consciously to themselves, how badly society treats disabled people, and realise it’d be easier for them to opt out if they hypothetically became disabled (which is millions of times more likely than them winning the lottery, for example), than to try and fix society for those already there.
(to be clear, I agree with you and am glad to see someone else who isn’t thrilled about this, and I’m just adding to your point because so many people completely neglect to take these factors in to account)

Most people I know
Maybe try listening to the people it actually impacts, rather than just those in your vicinity?

Not for you, but I bet the 100 or so people about to be out of a job disagree.

Only if you don’t know what communism is : a stateless, classless, moneyless society.
Calling something that isn’t that communism doesn’t magically make it that, just like calling something (national) socialism doesn’t make it that.
So please, do explain how massive corporations as an extension of the state fit in to actual communism. (I won’t wait)

Lebensraum.
It doesn’t need to be a real problem, for them to make it one.
The immigrant work force will still be there, they’ll just be put in camps and forced to work for nothing, while white working class people are sold the idea of “claiming back” “their” land, while the capitalists take it all over in their name (and never share any of the profits or benefits, of course, with a new scapegoat as for why as they need it).
- Comment on Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations 1 month ago:
He’s already won the election. He doesn’t have to keep posturing like this.
That was never his end goal, and you’re naive to think otherwise.
As for the rest, you’re missing a key step - to get them all “deported”, first they need to be rounded up, and put in camps (we already past this point a while back), and then since they’re already in camps, they might as well be put to work. For free (another point we’ve past). When they start dying off in big enough numbers for it to affect production, there will be another group marked for “deportation” and rounded up for their turn.
This isn’t fascism’s first fucking rodeo, and it isn’t only now getting started, it has been in motion for a good while now.

Tories also have a manifesto, it’s just the word used here for, well, a manifesto. Not specific to any political leaning.
- Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’ 2 months ago:
Then how about you stop contributing to the problem by hoarding properties you don’t live in and exploiting those who can’t afford to, for profit?
No?
I didn’t think so…
- Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’ 2 months ago:
because I didn’t want to be "part of the problem "
And yet, you’re still a landlord… 🤔
I guess the greed won over, eh?

- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 2 months ago:
This is incorrect. Not only did humans used to work significantly less and we (the working class, anyway) in the past few centuries have less leisure time than ever, but if anything, the introduction of what you consider “civilisation”, and especially class and money, harmed art more than anything by giving the power and control over it to those who aren’t creating it, and leaving those who are, starving, like the rest of the plebs.

I don’t have the app, but actually looked at it on my pc the other day after someone mentioned it in the comments to another post, with full intention to go out and have a look, but my brain is like a sieve… 😂
Thanks though, I’ll give the app a look

I can’t believe I missed them again! Going to do my absolute best to try and remember to look tonight, though forecast is for cloud all day today and tomorrow, so I doubt I’ll have any luck 😩
- Comment on Water companies must return £158m on customer bills - Ofwat 2 months ago:
This is a very bare minimum start.
Next they need to reach in to their own fucking pockets to not only fix their outdated and unfit for purpose infustructure, and clean up the ungodly mess they’ve made, but also reimburse the taxpayer for the damage they’ve caused to our common waterways and supply.
Then once they’re done paying, nationalise the motherfuckers.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 2 months ago:
But Twitter is a real fuckup for him
Except it clearly fucking isn’t, it’s doing exactly what he bought it for, including convincing people like you to feel sympathy for him and his “loss”, which is equal parts hilarious and really fucking sad. You’re looking at his life from the point of view of a poor person, something he never was and never will be, yet he’s still so easily manipulated you in to feeling bad for him (and the billions he’s lost, leaving him… still the motherfucking richest person on the planet), and even fucking (think you) relate to him and the idea that he can “fail” just like you can, using you as a living breathing mouthpiece to make his life easier. Not yours.
perfect boy genius mystique
I just threw up a little in my mouth, thanks.

And yet, he’s still one of the what, 5 richest people on the planet?
He doesn’t give a shit, and neither should you (as nice as the schadenfreude might feel). He got something money can’t buy - an established propaganda platform, which he is using as he intended - to war monger and otherwise interfere in politics to ensure fascism progresses as fast as he can help it. The “dent” (more like a surface scratch) it put in his finances is completely invisible and irrelevant to him.
And it should be to you, too.
He is NEVER going to end up without means or power, not even fucking close, unless we take them from him, and abolish the system that encouraged and enabled him to amass them in the first place.
