@AngelVelescu @cinj216 @Provokethoughtz If you equate talk about sexual orientation with sex talk it's you who's 'either too stupid to be a part of such conversations or just straight up a pedophile.'

@Perro_Felix @cinj216 @Provokethoughtz If you don't see the equivalence between the two you're either too stupid to be a part of such conversations or just straight up a pedophile. Which is it?

@AngelVelescu @cinj216 @Provokethoughtz "adults talking to children who are not their own about what their sexuality is" - why do you think this is "talking about what your dick feels like?"

@Perro_Felix @cinj216 @Provokethoughtz Which means the post is advocating for adults talking to children who are not their own about what their sexuality is, which is something that doesn't happen for heterosexuality so why the fuck would it happen for homosexuality?

@PathOfHecate @JackChuffed @fiercepatricks Well, you can choose to stay in the closet in 90% of your life. Many do. It was a much bigger deal "guarding your secret" in the 80s and 90s as you know. Watching for any slipups. But it's 2026 now.

@Perro_Felix @JackChuffed @fiercepatricks Up to him what he shares about his life. That's my point. If people aren't comfortable talking to certain people, then perhaps don't talk to, or ideally not be around, those people. You can't ask everyone to change because of you. Or have we landed on planet Narcissus? Me Me Me?

What straight people don't get They don't have to worry about a family member looking at them disgusted. They don't have to deal with the kids in the family not needing to know, because " it's too complicated to understand" They don't have to come out to every single person they meet. They don't have to grow up watching literally every show, every couple in their lives be different than their true love.

@PathOfHecate @JackChuffed @fiercepatricks I'm GenX like you and this is baffling. I just got off a video call with a co-worker who said we'd have to pick back up in a sec because his wife was calling him. I guess I should have gone off on him for oversharing? Shoulda told him that who he has sex with isn't my business?

@JackChuffed @fiercepatricks I'm gay. Been gay since the 1980s-when the stigma was intense. I navigated life by recognising I don't have to make myself uncomfortable by opening up to judgemental people. Who I have sex with is my personal life. I share that with family and friends. Why share with not friends?

@RossKneeDeep Being MAGA means at minimum you're just fine with racists, which is close enough for me.

Here's a question. Does being MAGA make you a racist?

@AngelVelescu @cinj216 @Provokethoughtz You responded to "why are children too young to know what their sexuality is unless that sexuality is straight" with "stop trying to talk to kids about how your dick feels." It all stems from there.

@Perro_Felix @cinj216 @Provokethoughtz It's not absurd, you're just too stupid to understand that if your premise was what's being discussed then the discussion wouldn't revolve around school curricula just for saying "yeah sometimes people are gay".

@cinj216 @AngelVelescu @Provokethoughtz It went right over your head too, didn't it? "The second part where you got explicit and vulgar" is exactly what Angel says happens whenever someone mentions a person's sexuality. So I leaned into that in order to show how absurd that assertion is.

@Perro_Felix @AngelVelescu @Provokethoughtz The first part of your story was informative to the child and all that needed to be said. The second part where you got explicit and vulgar tells us why you shouldn't be allowed within 100 ft of where children congregate.

@JohnGra41528444 @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse 💯Education, child care, Yes.

@Perro_Felix @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse It was hyperbole but you take my point. I don't know the stats on that stuff. I would rather pay for productive members of society and lower single motherhood rates than pay for the consequences.

How to trigger a maga in one picture.

@JohnGra41528444 @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse Investment should be incentivized, but so should "not under the counter" work, and no one's going to park their money in a mattress or zero-interest bank account because the tax on cap gains is too high. They're still going to invest it anyway

@Perro_Felix @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse Cap gains ARE less than the tax on labor specifically to encourage reinvestment into the US economy. Investing in stock market, building factories to create jobs. These are beneficial things.

@JohnGra41528444 @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse Hmm, but 15 year olds don't do that as much as they used to. That's why people have their hair on fire over the fact that we don't have as many pregnant 16 year olds as we used to.

Well, I'm gayer than you and so is my husband. Actually, he's gayer than me. He likes cats. I don't think you have to be a nice person, moral or decent to appreciate the simple fact that you can either pay (through taxation) to socialize and raise children properly, or pay for the cost of jail/prison/courts/ police later. AND, you know what 15 year olds who were raised poorly do when mom works 2 jobs and their tingly bits start to tingle.

@JohnGra41528444 @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse "After a certain point, wealth snowballs." Yeah, the capital gains tax shouldn't be less than the tax on labor. Once you claw to a certain point with luck, skill, and hard work, you can speculate in housing for very healthy returns for example. Shouldn't really be like that

But to be fair, encouraging investment through taxation benefits the country, and jobs, and the economy. And, as a friend of mine always says, "the first million is the hardest." Meaning, after a certain point, wealth snowballs. That doesn't make anyone evil and it's no motivation to tax them any more than they already are. The tax burden relative to income is pretty progressive with the bottom 50% paying like 2% of the tax revenue.

@JohnGra41528444 @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse It's not an either/or. A big portion of any new tax revenue should probably go toward fixing the debt, but incentives like low cost child care, child tax credits, I'm saying this as a gay guy with no kids, we can't keep a society where having kids throws most people into poverty

@Perro_Felix @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse Oh, no doubt there's a wealth disparity that is NOT a healthy indicator. But why not bring the bottom up rather than the top down?

@JohnGra41528444 @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse Lots of popular products were made in the past, and the founders, CEO's, executives, did not make nearly the salary they did as a ratio to workers as they do now. It was not even this bad a century ago, and we needed the new deal to fix it then. epi.org/publication/ce…

@Perro_Felix @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse yeah, I don't agree with you about Reaganomics though it didn't work out due to the banking industry. Elon Musk made a product that was super popular and sold it to a lot of Enviro-NAZI types. That's got nothing to do with taxes and everything to do with making a popular product.

@JohnGra41528444 @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse Actually yes, in the 70's. I didn't mean to imply a direct link to Reaganomics, though once the rich got richer it got easier for them to keep that status quo by aggressively lobbying for things like Right to Work laws.

@Perro_Felix @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse But didn't productivity drop off starting earlier than that?

@JohnGra41528444 @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse "US should have gotten off oil during the Carter admin." 💯 But instead Reagan 'made American great again' by ripping Carter's solar panels off the white house.

@BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse Oh, no. Not meant to sound genocidal in the least. In fact, to save all the people who died as a consequence of the Islamic threat, I mean CIA should have killed Yasser Arafat. US should have gotten off oil during the Carter admin.

@JohnGra41528444 @BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse Ronald Reagan told me it'd be trickling down instead of evaporating . That's why he cut the tax rates of the richest from 70% to 28%. Instead of a trickle, Elon Musk has $800B and no one can afford anything because after 1980 $ from productivity gains stopped going to labor.

@BreakingBraavos @AntiquarianMuse One wonders where all the money evaporates to.

@tommysantos14 Wait, "Engagement farming and bait is against X's ToS."?? Then why is Elon's algorithm sending me 99% THAT?

Actually, Cindy, being an American PRECISELY MEANS you can stand against the American president. Kind of a basic tenet of being an American. It's a little frightening you don't know that.

@JrLesage @grok @politvidchannel This last part, "inequality grew and debt ballooned" is what the article means when it says "50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down"

@grok @politvidchannel So overall it worked?

BREAKING: New study finds 50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down.

@bdomenech You couldn't even force your wife to take your last name, and you still call yourself a proper caveman. I mean, alpha male.

Democrats have so few Alpha males left that they've been reduced to pretending obvious moistbros like Swalwell and Gallego and manicured weirdos like Newsom are attractive and masculine.

@OllyParramore @Itx_judith You can call it Men’s Health Month, National Safety Month, Immigrant Heritage Month, Great Outdoors Month, or National Dairy Month. Actually it is all those things already. Give June another moniker if you want; it'll still be Pride month too.

@Itx_judith Yes! We should replace pride month with literally anything else. 👏

Do you think we should replace Pride Month with Veterans Month?
