@Qmwnebrvtcyxuz7 @GeauxGabrielle yeah don't worry person who has had 50 years of your life taken away from you, now we have let you go! you have spent most of your life in prison for no reason but now we can let you out so you can be old and free isn't this so much better than if we killed you?
English
@tapeunderscored @GeauxGabrielle It's cheaper, and you can let them go if you get the wrong guy

For the death penalty to be truly justice, it would have to be 100% correct 100% of the time. And there is overwhelming evidence that it is not. We have sent too many innocents to their grave for it to EVER be considered a fair and just ruling. It’s evil.

a lot of yall dont get that the reason the death penalty is bad is not because the people dont deserve death

@CatgirlErika At what point does it stop being boymoding and it's just detransitioning

@tapeunderscored veeeery defeatist i dont fuck with that, sorry. everything is escapable except death.
something something capitalism and the divine right of kings by my good girl ursula

to meit depends on the context tbh i dont wanna stop GBT+ from saying dyke altogether like. this goes hard.
gray 🔭@imissfridnetha
i cannot believe i have to say that if you’re not a lesbian you can’t say dyke
English
@keidottie eh i mean sure its more socially accepted for women to wear men's clothes but it's not like women don't get shit for doing that all the time. and in other ways women are more restricted like in certain contexts they're expected to look attractive while men aren't
English
@tapeunderscored Women who dress masculine are largely still considered women (or 'tomboys') but the same isn't the case for men. I think the og tweet was worded horribly but thats the gist of what they mean

@DOCTOR_SEX6996 @cinderien @UpholdGirlche unfortunately it doesnt seem like socialism is coming back around. maybe after a catastrtophic enough world war we can all go back to socialism/collectivist corrupt states...
English
@DOCTOR_SEX6996 @cinderien @UpholdGirlche unironically the ideal situation is a state gatekeeper that is dysfunctional and corrupt enough so you can get the hrt on the grey market for cheap. like in the good old decrepit ex socialist countries. capitalism left on its own to function unrestrained cancerizes commerce

trans people will never be liberated as long as we remain under capitalism. i agree that racism is an issue amongst these spaces that must be dealt with but it disappearing will not enable trans liberation by itself
† juniper †@petalprizmz
trans people will never be liberated if white trans people continue to ignore and belittle trans people of color
English
@YELLLOW_W why is he obsessed with shit so much is it like some freudian thing
English
@DOCTOR_SEX6996 @cinderien @UpholdGirlche well i guess that's fine. the last thing i'd wanna add is that medical care such as abortion and hormones are always going to be easier to get in a capitalist system where the person giving them to you simply wants you to pay them as opposed to provided by state gatekeepers
English
@tapeunderscored @cinderien @UpholdGirlche workers also have paid time off, benefits, holidays and weekends off in advanced capitalist countries
these things were not the wishes of the capitalists, but won by the working class through struggle
similarly, women as housewives disappearing is the fruits of feminist action
English
@DOCTOR_SEX6996 @cinderien @UpholdGirlche i don't get what you're saying? i mean women are being payed wages in most advanced capitalist countries women as housewives is a thing of the past no?
English
@tapeunderscored @cinderien @UpholdGirlche thats the thing, if they did that then theyd also have to pay the women a wage for her labor instead of unpaid domestic labor in the house, better to keep her as a mouth to feed (consumption) that doesnt also ask for a wage back
this is also why the gender pay gap exists
English
@DOCTOR_SEX6996 @cinderien @UpholdGirlche sure whatever even if i grant you that, capitalism still is directly linked to women's rights because women need to be units in a market, rather than subservient to their fathers or husbands and making no choices.
English
@tapeunderscored @cinderien @UpholdGirlche capitalists dont make the hormones for hrt and they dont perform abortions, pharmacies and surgeons do
its just like that old iphone argument, capitalists dont make iphones, the factories do
English
@a_samir48 and every time a communist doesn't do it, a new surveillance drone technology comes out that targets schools. either way, we have no say in the matter because we hold no power whatsoever
English
@DOCTOR_SEX6996 @cinderien @UpholdGirlche but haven't queer people and women benefited from capitalism?
you be like "hey i want to change my body by injecting it with external hormones" and capitalist society is like "sure here you go"? plus abortion and birth control and women's rights over their reproduction appear
English
@cinderien @tapeunderscored @UpholdGirlche theyre profitable
the traditional family as a unit of consumption and inheritance, the pink tax, patriarchy, all things that capitalism enforces for survival and the reason why queer liberation and gender equality are incompatible with capitalism
English
@yexger it actually is sort of perfect because eren really doesn't want to kill all those people, but at the same time he wants to reach the end goal of his story, he wants the rumbling, plain and simple, but it terrifies him that he is willing to kill all those people so he can have it
English
@ChazakielDoremi what's the difference between this and humans? aren't humans also just neurons with legs to a larger civilzation whose intelligence exceeds us all?
English
You are not 'enslaving' your cells to work for you. When you are eating food and converting the cells that make up the organism you just ate into your own cells, you're not 'enslaving' them either
English
Calling this slavery is bizarre anthropomorphism. This is far closer to something like the biological equivalent of an autonomous machine stealing parts from another machine and seamlessly integrating them into the whole

An incredible/horrifying detail from Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene which I'm re-reading at the moment. There are ants that take other ants as slaves and put them to work in their own colonies
