That’s a lot of words to say you don’t understand what liberalism is… No mount of “strong welfare” counteracts support of capitalism and the oppression and inevitable fascism that comes with it. Because yes, necessarily.
The fact that you think me saying all of this makes me a tankie is a perfect demonstration of your lack of understanding of these terms and ideas (and/or of your unwillingness to challenge your bias and think outside of the parameters capitalism has set for you).
And it’s not something that you need to be a woman to have an opinion about considering it’s not just a woman’s body at stake.
You’re right about one thing, men and other people who have uteruses also get a say.
Over their own motherfucking bodies.
About which you (nor your make believe feminists) get none, you abusive anti-choicer pos.
a mixed bag of regulated markets combined with a strong national government and select nationalized industries (eg, medical insurance). Basically the Nordic Model
So liberal in exactly the same sense American democrats are… People not liking that “liberal” is a negative in any circle left of those who consider themsleves that, doesn’t change what it means…
American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years
Pfffffffffff… 😂🤦♀️
The American political landscape doesn’t even have the left on it.In all honesty, it’s really fucking depressing that despite the blatant and open attack by one party on women’s rights, and the complete impotence of the other to restore, or hell, even fucking address what bare minimum rights they once had, outside of a campaign speech, more women haven’t realised that no one in the system is serving them, and shift to the actual left, but sadly the propaganda seems just too powerful (or on some cases, the other privileges still too comfortable to risk, even in the face of loss of autonomy to the state).
172·5 months agoSo people who use their phone to communicate like deaf, blind, and/or nonverbal people or those who don’t speak the language and use it to translate, as well as those who need it to help ease anxiety or as a barrier between themselves and an overwhelming world (in other words - disabled and other marginalised people), can go fuck themselves, can they?
Oh wait, don’t tell me, “if there arises a need an exception will be made”, which is basically saying disabled and other marginalised people can go fuck themselves, unless they are willing to be stopped, forced to disclose their personal and/or medical information to strangers and be scrutinised on the spot by people without any training with the potential of being punished if said laypeople decide that actually they don’t see good reason for the phone use…
Like, even without all of this the idea is a pathetic joke being enforced by power hungry control freaks, but the fact that they’re happy to so openly punish and exclude marginalised people (who might stay home rather than face a world where they can’t communicate, or where they might get constantly stopped and scrutinised for doing so) is just disgusting.
Fuck these people.
The frustration that we feel over bigotry can be expressed in so many ways. We don’t need to rely on ableist slurs. Alternative phrases are more descriptive, and more accurate; unintelligence is not the prevailing problem with right wing extremists, for instance, nor is it the cause of their actions. Ignorance, prejudice, and disregard for the rights of others are.
Conflating harmful actions with lack of intelligence does everyone a disservice. To suggest that “stupidity” that is what makes people act badly undermines any real accountability. The causes of problematic behavior rarely have anything to do with mental acuity, and we can’t properly address harmful behavior while being so reductive about its causes. Carelessness, bias, hatred, greed, closed-mindedness, indifference – these are the traits that lead to oppression. Our intelligence is not the issue so much as our sense of compassion and justice.
A person can be unintelligent and still know right from wrong. There are people with cognitive disabilities who I respect a thousand times more than those who are supposedly more abled. They have stronger principles, seek to better themselves, and are committed to being good people. They are just capable of being sensitive and caring as everyone else. To imply that they aren’t is outrageous.
This all applies to disabled kids (and adults, of course) too, especially those who are unable to leave the house or otherwise struggle with in person interaction (and who would often be left completely isolated without virtual communication)…
People love to shit on social media, when actually they should be shitting on the rich and powerful who use it to manipulate society, not those using it looking to connect to others…
And yet, you still blame the voters, and not those in charge of their education system, socialising, the media they consume, and so on… 🤔
I have lots of empathy for people and usually try not to judge people by demographics and happenstance
but you don’t, and you are…

No, just a quack trying to pathologies individuals reacting to our social systems of oppression exactly as they were designed to.
Jfc, this is pathetic, but sadly reflective of the actual big picture it thinks it’s giving - trump is a symptom. He is not the cause, he is not the single issue that we need to “beat”, the system that enables him to exist is.
That same system that indoctrinates all of society in to capitalism and the systems of oppression it (and the likes of trump) relies on.
The same system this psychologist is conveniently ignoring to get their nonsense published as some sort of revelation, when in reality it is serving that very system by continuing to deepen the divide in the working class and blame those being manipulated instead of those in charge of the system based on manipulation.
Some people being able to break free from that indoctrination doesn’t magically make those who don’t [insert ableist slur/armchair diagnosis], it makes them victims of a scam. And you don’t free them (and by extension yourself) by blaming them and pretending like if only they voted for the other puppet in the 4-yearly illusion of choice show all our problems would be solved, you free them by ending the fucking scam.
(to be clear - this doesn’t mean you don’t hold people accountable for their actions, but that you look at the big picture to gain some fucking perspective and understanding, and then hold people accountable for what they’re actually responsible for, rather than everything that is wrong in the world and systems far beyond their control, and then pull a shocked pikach face when it doesn’t work. No fucking shit sherlock…)
Also that his VP nicknamed “top cop” is an outspoken lover of all things policing as well as
modern slaverythe prison industrial complex…
Not today, Satan! 😂
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make in reference to my reply…
Yes, the media want money, but they can’t make money without maintaining a system that has commodified everything, including information, for profit. The rage bait would exist whether trump would have won or not, it’s not like it’s gone anywhere. It doesn’t exist to serve trump, it exists to serve the status quo (hint: having the president/PM change from one party to another, when both serve capitalism and the ruling class, isn’t a change to the status quo).
This is a process that has worked for a long time.
Your mistake is thinking elections are, or ever were, about what the voters want.
In reality - the establishment decides how best to maintain their control, then create the illusion of choice (since both candidates who reach the point of running for president serve them, in very slightly different ways), then have the media bolster that illusion and get the public to fight with each other to make sure we don’t stop to realise we’re being played and point our justified rage and frustration where they actually belong (with the manipulators, not those they manipulate).
“Made”?
lol, no. More like “enabled by”.
I just assume they are based on hate and opportunism.
No need to question, those are the motivations of any and all conservatives. Anything else is just toxic fluff…
Except it isn’t bad for the right, it’s designed by them to be this way - it’s one of the ways in which the they get the Overton window to shift more and more and more to the right.
