People of all ethnicities commit crimes. It inherently results from hierarchical power structures.

You were talking about Jews. Jews are not, in general, committing a crime.

- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 1 week ago:
The courts are a branch of government. They are also not incorruptible saints as the liberal right would have you believe, but just as likely as the average person to be biggoted.

The government aren’t making any attempt to change the law and have instead tolerated or even promoted transphobia in their party and have used the Cass Report as a pretext to ban puberty blockers.
- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 1 week ago:
The real gender ideology are traditional gender roles and the notion that gender is determined by sex.
- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 1 week ago:
There are actually more transphobic men than women but the “movement” fronts cis women so they can pull the “muh oppressed” line.

“You’ll never guess what the ‘L’ in LGBT stands for…”
Hate to burst your bubble but Lesbians are actually more supportive of transgender people than any other cisgender demographic.

Not necessarily. Lots of people haven’t died in Rojava or in the areas of Southern Mexico controlled by the Zapatistas. Authoritarianism was the problem with restructurings you allude to, not socialism.

Tell that to a child slave in a cobalt mine.
Being “dedicated to succeeding” is a one-way ticket to burnout.

Succeed at capitalism? That’s a fool’s errand. Better to point them to the real enemy which is the bourgeoisie and the real solution which is for the working class to form democratic organizations aimed at overthrowing the ruling class and form worker led democratic ways of organizing society.

Manosphere men fall pray to the XY problem: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem?wprov=sfla1.
They demand the X which is a girlfriend and money in order to solve problem Y which is a lack of social connectedness and decreasing standards of living.
They believe themselves entitled to X because of that. Actually, everyone (including Manosphere men) is entitled to a solution to Y which affects everyone appart from the bourgois (who still lack social connectedness) but the solution to that is Z which is a wholesale restructuring of our society and economy to one that is maximally democratic and socialist.

The lack of income independent from your spouse is a huge argument against being a housewife.

"2Sure Finland’s female-led coalition party is not feminists according to YOU<br> www.bbc.com/news/stories-55020994"
If you see feminism as every time there are women in government, why do you oppose feminism?
“So pro-left they are & yet so pro-war”
They’re a right-wing austerity government but I’ll bite, which war are you talking about?
“TERFs are a thing too”
Sure, I never said all feminists are left-wing. There are reactionary strands of feminism (if we accept that they are indeed feminists) such TERFs for example. My point is that feminism is not a monolith and the bulk of it is left-wing.
“The feminists do not oppose the draft.”
Correction: A country right next to an expansionist dictatorship does not oppose the draft. I’ll probably get shouted at buy when you are right next to a country like Russia, the draft is a necessary evil.
“(Finland has a male-only draft & wants to join NATO which totally a defensive alliance)”
Perhaps the draft should be extended to women. In any case, irrelevant to your “point” about feminism.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 5 weeks ago:
The 1950s was when women were relegated to the role of housewife. You are asking why women don’t want to be relegated to that role.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 5 weeks ago:
That has nothing to do with my remark. The far-right is anti-feminist.
As to you question, there are many different strands of feminism and Marxist feminism, anarcha-feminism, intersectional feminism, queer feminism etc. are very much pro-left.

Really? Finland had the far-right Finns party in coalition in the last few years.
