  Nope. I just don’t like ableists. Go and make some friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨community work is revolutionary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Alright you fucking weirdo. Its a meme about an average friendship group. Go and make some; which you can do by not being a bigot on the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨community work is revolutionary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to say shit like that. Its weird and ableist.

  Read some Judith Butler or Angela Davis

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's just a human thing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The claim that there is such a thing as misandry places them on equal footing and minimises the scale of cultural misogyny.

  This is weird. What is actually wrong with you? Go and touch some grass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's just a human thing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  No it doesn’t. You just don’t want to admit that you benefit from misogyny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's just a human thing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Every woman I know has experienced at least sexual harrasment. Most have experienced SA or rape. Even if a man hasn’t done it, he will probably stick by his shitty mates who do or will still stay friends with them because awkwardness and bravery is harder for them than silent compliance.

  If its “not all men” then it is certainly all women.

  I’m picking that bear over you.

  Ok child murder supporter

  This is what happens when you read Israeli war propaganda online.

  Genocide apologists are the absolute worst scum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨community work is revolutionary⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What the fuck? This is such an awful and stigmatising thing to say that oversimplifies what personality disorders are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Network Rail to set up property company to deliver 40,000 homes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Leaves on the line are actually a surprisingly nasty issue since they screw up adhesion. There was a nasty crash last year because of it that cut off a good chunk of Wales from the rest of the network.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I monitor far-right groups pretty intensively and a good chunk of Paedophile Hunters are key organisers of said groups.

  Its also not uncommon for far-right groups to be family operations where the adults will groom their teenage children into organizing and encourage their children to date other, often older, fascist organisers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since militaries are authoritarian, even in democratic countries; What would a military of a stateless/anarchist society look like?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually imagine that there would be a lot of similarities to the structure of already existing anarchist organizing, particularly street antifascism.

  Usually people will meet ahead of an action and discuss likely events and how to respond. If things happen that weren’t predicted, it relies on the initiative of people on the ground.

  Usually people with experience will end up making snap decisions, though people will occasionally veto them. If there is an opportunity, the people who disagree will huddle and decide on a new course of action. If not, someone might just call it out a new course of action, which people will also sometimes veto.

  I’m personally quite a fan of simple instructions that you can chant because it also boosts morale and demonstrates unity to the opposition.

  At a recent example that I think was particularly effective, a group of spotters* were following a fascist march, one person shouted, “Come on guys. We can’t let them go unopposed.”

  A second person indicated that they agreed by proposing a strategy, gesturing to link arms, saying, “Link up.”

  A third person adapted that into a chant of, “Link your arms! Stand your ground!”

  Spotters are a scout-like role who usually have the responsibility of keeping an eye on the opposition and relaying that information back to the action itself. In this case, the spotters realized that remaining as spotters was less useful and adapted accordingly, since the main counter was trapped elsewhere.

  Interestingly, as the police decision makers were with the main counter, the police who were with the spotters were unable to act because their structure depends on a hierarchy whereas the adaptability of anarchist organizing doesn’t.

  Not sure I trust Lemmy to not be shitty with this comment but the new name really gives 2010 trans chaser magazine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jobless, isolated, fed misogynistic porn… where is the love for Britain’s lost boys?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only commenting because I can’t down vote on my instance. This is repulsive MRA fluff from a consistently misogynistic writer. Nothing to add because its not worth platforming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Carole Cadwalladr dropped by Tortoise ahead of Observer takeover⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ngl I don’t feel sorry for the Guardian UK or its staff losing their jobs after their shift to the right. They have been posting Daily Telegraph-lite stories for years. Sonia Sodha comes to mind. In the last year alone she has written stories for the Guardian that are anti-trans (countless examples), pro-oil and gas, anti-Palestinian, and spreading the fascist myth of Asian grooming gangs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ban misogynistic online pornography, review to propose⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really dislike how conservatives have attempted to redefine the meaning of misogyny to literally mean the opposite of what it is. Attempting to take autonomy from women is anti-feminist. This is also clearly intended to target wlw porn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Andrew and Tristan Tate leave Romania, sources tell BBC - live updates⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wild to see the GC self-proclaimed feminists like Rowling championing Trump when he is literally bringing the face of misogynist influencer culture into his inner circle. Actual feminists have been warning about this for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Revealed: The Tommy Robinson Supporters Network With Links to Neo-Nazi Groups and a Library of Terrorism Manuals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This article is pretty much useless on the subject. The group’s initials are not even DA though they have changed their name recently. It just states what you could find from tapping a couple of links on Telegram. ID some of these pricks - get them sacked.

  Look at their reporting of the Employment Tribunal for the nurse from Five who was sacked for abusing a doctor. They refused to correctly gender the doctor correctly in every article to a point where the lack of any pronoun other than the sacked transphobe referring to her with “him”. They also very much paint it like it is Dr Upton on trial and not Ms Peggie.

  This appears to be surprisingly good as far as this government goes. I expected more pandering to those ideologies. It gives off the vibe that it might be a bit more of an actual leak since it doesn’t have any of that Matthew Doyle (spin doctor) brand slop designed to appease them.

  Chinese espionage in the UK is obviously a thing but far more people are at risk to domestic espionage by GCHQ, MI5, the NCA, and the Met.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police 'must investigate' far-right group PA exposed by BBC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There have been people trying to get PA proscribed for years. I think they are in decline and relatively low threat since they have a whole thing about not breaking the law. Proscription doesn’t really work against a lot of newer far right strategies since it is heavily based on influencers and cults of personality, rather than strictly defined group.
