Green Party say they plan to ensure everyone has a minimum wage of £31,000pa. I run a business. I don’t earn that. I employ 2 people. They don’t earn that. The business I run doesn’t take in enough to pay that. I’d need to charge customers way more to afford that 🤷♂️. Or go bust.

@MayaBlahaj @thereisnobeth Do you know what the percentage a third is?
And keep in mind, this is only going to go up
English
ok but like the vast majority of the meat consumed in the west is from wildly unstainable industrialised production which has absolutely no relation to indigenous diets like thats such a non sequitur
river i hardly kno’erミ☆@ltcaulfields
ever since i watched that documentary on whale hunting in inuit communities when i was in highschool i stopped taking white vegans who say this shit seriously
English
@C1air3492 @phototoxin incorrect. do not pass go, do not collect $200. go read actual writing and stop just making up what you think it says instead of what it actually does.
English
@egbs42 @phototoxin I absolutely understand them, and that only bolsters my views.
People will see (in order)
>White
>Gender Identity
And if the person doesn't pass, then they absolutely see trans before they see woman.
English
u are not trans before u are a woman or a man u are not white before u are trans these are nice simple phrases which people appear to have interpreted as a genuine framework for understanding the world
English
@C1air3492 @phototoxin the core premise of intersectionality is that these axes of power mutually constitute one's subject position within the matrix of social/structural power. I'm sorry you fundamentally misunderstand such a foundational concept but that is a you problem.
English
@phototoxin You are absolutely white before you are trans or a man/woman
You are also debatably trans before a man/woman due to the completely unique upbringing and experience you had pre and during transition. There's a whole different worldview you have knowing that difference.
English
@sputnikwolf @wise_prism did I stutter? are you aware that people lie on the internet?
English
Was it also this very real trans boy's birthday?
Oxymandius@Samuel_Linton02
There was a 15 year old trans man who was posting about being suicidal because of the discourse and blue girl’s supporters decided to degender him and tell him to do it.
English
@sputnikwolf @wise_prism I did not question whether the post existed, I questioned whether the person described did
English
@sputnikwolf @wise_prism I believe the point is that this person does not in fact exist
English
@wise_prism isn't it so based to harass a suicidal teenager because he's the wrong kind of trans
English
@meltheatist @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 although also this is a hit dogs holler kinda situation, sorry. if it's not about you you don't have to make it about you.
English
@meltheatist @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 people are allowed to feel hurt but again, she correctly pointed out that cis male leftists mostly know that if they respond to the sting of a woman venting about men with a harassment campaign, they are the bad guys
English
quotes absolutely losing their minds at the idea that maybe conducting a six month harassment campaign against an abuse victim isn’t Morally Pure

@SlimedSwollen @Swollentwt @meltheatist @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 yes, leaning in to the societal narrative of trans women as sexual predators for a joke about a domestic violence victim is nasty. you may be fucking stupid but I'm not.
English
@egbs42 @Swollentwt @meltheatist @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 "rapejacketing" and its like what one tweet that joked about her being pepper sprayed
English
@meltheatist @SlimedSwollen @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 continuing to comment on it at all is taking it too far. whatever sin she committed was too small to be a continuing subject of discourse and people still stuck on it are doing far more harm than she ever did.
English
@egbs42 @SlimedSwollen @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 others taking it too far shouldn't mean anyone whos hurt has to shut up about it, idk how you can pretend it should work like that
English
@egbs42 @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 Seems wild to pick and choose when its not okay to vent anymore
English
@SlimedSwollen @Swollentwt @meltheatist @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 I don't think anything she did merits the scale and viciousness of the people harassing her. did you see the rapejacketing tweet? come the fuck on.
English
@egbs42 @Swollentwt @meltheatist @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 after doubling down 50 fucking times yeah, she chose this, literally. no matter how you frame it
English
@Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 like people are allowed to be specific. or do you think the black women who discussed and fought misogyny in the black power movement were also doing something wrong?
English
@Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 I think she correctly identified that cis male leftists mostly know to not do "not all men" and that many trans men have not learned that lesson
English
@meltheatist @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 the actions are not outside their control. their continued engagement is constitutive of the harassment campaign. they are the harassers and they should stop.
English
@egbs42 @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 Seems a bit unfair to force them to take responsibility for actions well out of their control via silencing themselves.
English
@Swollentwt @meltheatist @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 it's a hate campaign. there's nothing she could do that would matter and even apologizing for the things I actually think she did wrong would make it worse. this isn't my first rodeo, sorry.
English
@egbs42 @meltheatist @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 its not a hate campaign, literally just take accountability
English
@meltheatist @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 I mean in speaking on it they are contributing to an ongoing transmisogynistic hate campaign so I don't really buy that equivalency
English
@egbs42 @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 yeah lol ig that, I think they're just as "right" to speak on it as the original girl was to vent. It's not like it on her page
English
@Swollentwt @meltheatist @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 that's not really the part I was talking about but also number of followers as measure of oppression is a very very funny metric to me
English
@egbs42 @meltheatist @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 if you take the combined followers of the people defending her, and the people opposing her, its going to be very, skewed in her favor
English
@meltheatist @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 I mean I'm not saying they should be legally barred from speaking on it, I'm just saying they're wrong and they should stop
English
@egbs42 @Swollentwt @lovecraftianfr1 @EPM108 I do think she should be blocked by folks who don't want to see her rather than people staying in her comments. But if folks are going to keep posting about it (partly cause she sparked it back up) others have the right to speak on it too, which is mostly what's happening
