thank you mr putin for showing your commitment to denazification by starting at home

does it make you feel good when you use the suffering of hawaiians as a punchline

A market regulated by an uncorrupt government, you say?

election season produced some takes that are reminding me a lot of this situation, wherein something completely innocuous/outright good (being openly indignant about systemic oppression, displaying a user's preferred pronouns) is smeared by liberals who are trying to associate said good things with bad people, thus drawing a connection that anyone who supports these good things is actually a bad person

they got it with bernie because he yelled, and abusive men also yell, therefore anyone supporting bernie is supporting abuse. the angle taken here is that hexbear users have pronoun tags, and hexbear users are bad, therefore you should be suspicious of anyone who has pronoun tags. they're just dipping into casual transphobia as a very limp attempt at an own

remember back when people said bernie shouldn't be president because he raised his voice when he spoke

something that really grinds my gears is the sheer number of people who are willing to treat the US and the decisions of its capitalist citizenry with kid gloves whenever someone fucks up. a piece of entertainment is getting rid of their gay characters? well, that's just because you're not allowed to have those in Russia, and we've gotta sell there. elon is trying to get rid of the block feature on twitter? well, he's just capitulating to the authoritarian wishes of the Saudi Arabian government, nothing he can do about it. a million preventable deaths to covid? well, if only China had said something earlier so we could have gotten started on doing nothing a couple months in advance

it's such a strange narrative that americans are never actually responsible for anything and they're just doing what everyone else forces them to do when the closest thing they've got to a cultural identity is this idea of not being beholden to any other nation's whims

CW for anti-asian racism

dipping back into against my better judgment after having spent a long time logged off from social media and it really is absurd how deep the hatred for asians runs within the westoid brain. you get completely fetishized and infantilized if you're from one of the "cool" countries (ie. Japan or South Korea), wherein these people continually fawn over you for your superior, single-ethnicity, non-political land. any indication that these are living people with varied beliefs and lives as complex and storied as anyone else's must be completely buried by dipshits who insist that your entire culture labors under an idealized child-like innocence where nobody has ever had a Political thought, ever. these redditors believe that everyone slots neatly into a cartoon character trope at their most diverse because their entire engagement with the world is through consumption of exported entertainment

and god help you if you're from one of the "acceptable target" countries like China, or India, or Thailand. people will flood the comments of literally any post if they catch so much as a passing suggestion that it might have something to do with one of the Bad Countries. "jokes" about filthy wet markets and people shitting in the streets, "jokes" about shoddy construction killing people, "jokes" about traveling abroad in search of finding new sexual conquests, "jokes" about how the asian skull simply doesn't have enough divots in it to allow their brains to experience foreign concepts like love or family or responsibility. the shit these people say is vile. i don't understand how you can type this shit out and not feel your stomach churn with the primal knowledge that you're being a fucking monster

it's complete dehumanization. you either get it from people whose only conception of you is that you're a very pretty doll to be dressed up and discarded, or you're a fanged, disgusting beast who needs to be put down

i'm certain it's no shock to any of us here that angloid westerners are overwhelmingly the most racist pieces of shit imaginable, but it really does seem like it's becoming more and more acceptable to be dropping shit like this in "polite company". the libs have been scratched for a long, long time, and i think the thick ichor blood of the fascist is starting to ooze from their wounds at a rate i'm not ready for

lib friend just let me know that although he is very upset by this news it is important not to engage in mocking :vote: libs because if it wasnt for the GOP then this never would have happened. lol. haha. if only there was anything that the dems could have done in the past decade but oh well
