i wouldn't agree that it's mostly about that but it makes sense that there would be a good element of it in there yeah. i think it is still good advice for a lot of folks though. it's not posturing to acknowledge that armed struggle is a necessary step on the path from what we have now to true queer liberation. i think it's more about that than individual queers shooting violent homophobes in walmart or whatever. I'm not american never lived there but I can see it's an injustice that I'm not allowed own a gun while the armed forces of the bourgeoisie carry them in my country. if I could get one I would. obviously it's not for everyone and should never be portrayed as some sort of hard requirement to be a queer leftist.

apparently the yugioh manga is really dark and violent compared to the show lol

Sinn Fein completely blew their moment by spending energy legitimising the "conversation around immigration" because they are too cowardly liberals to just disavow the whole thing as a distraction that benefits the hegemonic power group as well as the new fascists. if they had just banged the drum about housing for the last 2 years they would have won. as it stands I probably won't even vote for them and it's likely they will never ever take power now.

some Losurdo I've read has touched on it, I haven't read it yet but quite sure Liberalism: a Counter-History goes in depth. it's one of the great myths of our time that things like slavery, colonialism, and mass exploitation are somehow anathema to liberalism or aberrations of it. they are part and parcel. John Locke defended slavery.

there is a commonly used liberal definition of imperialism which is "when big country invades (or meddles in, or even just makes deals with) smaller country"

she is very cool and one of the para social relationships that pushed me to actually transition. seen her deride pro-China leftists a little bit recently though:/ nobody's perfect especially north americans i guess kkkanada

tbh the big man was probably a bit too kind to them... can't really fault him for having too much humanity though

ive never tried the razors so can't say if they're worth it or not. eyebrows are quick to grow back, you could do a small maintenance pluck after a couple weeks. personally i just wait until it really starts annoying me after a month or so because i find plucking them to be very tedious. it's worth it though.

modlog link (CW for misogyny and transphobia): https://hexbear.net/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2019549

sorry to be an armchair admin but noticed this user around today. took a look at their modlog and noticed they have a previous siteban and today had posts removed for overt misogyny and transphobia (the transphobia was a necro of a year-old bookclub thread about Feinberg... bizarre).

anyway, i noticed they've only received a 2-day ban just from the CTH comm. i guess this is in line with the new policies around combating misogyny, but imo this should be a pretty clear cut case for a perma site ban. user from another instance with a previous ban, pops up today and starts posting vile misogyny and seeking out old posts to do transphobia on. why give them a third chance?

 

i wanna make a list of spookies to download for the next few weeks. please drop your favourite horrors or some obscure choices you like! mostly looking for like offbeat 90s-2000s stuff (earlier is cool too), wacky shlock is welcome but I'd love some actually scary picks too. really just anything you consider worth watching is good. thanks!

 

i hate videogames dude

 

help

 

so disgusted reading this story today. this man got a fully suspended sentence for pleading guilty (when he initially lied to the cops and said she attacked him, and only admitted it when CCTV footage was produced), and because the judge wants to save his precious army career while the victim has lost her job due to her injuries. he also bragged about beating her on snapchat and the reason he did it is because she asked him to stop calling people slurs. i hate it here
