Well, if they rere trying to put their political enemies on a war footing, this is a fine way to inspire it.

On a related note, I was unaware there was international funding available. Do I get double payments for being both anticapitalist AND transgender?

[-] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Unfortunately all funds for terrorism have been spent on Israel. Please stand in line.

Counterterrorism used to mean stopping crazies from blowing shit up or killing innocent people in the United States. Now it means targeting minorities. Which gives actual terrorists free reign to attack on US soil.

Even if Trump is a Russian agent he couldn't do more damage than he's already doing.

[-] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 1 week ago

It never really did. It always meant crushing any opposition.

[-] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Jesus that man looks like he was invited to NO parties and he is going to attack the people he thinks are responsible for that.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

What does "radically pro-transgender" even mean?

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Alive.

But in reality, their words are meaningless. They'll say anything to get power over us, and if they see an advantage in it, they'll say the opposite tomorrow.

Debate doesn't work with them. Organize, resist, subvert. Do whatever you need to do to survive.

[-] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I am not afraid of these halfwit child-raping traitors, and you shouldn't be either.

Are they gonna try? Yep. They will definitely fuck around and then, they will definitely find out.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 weeks ago

First they came for the...

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ok, radical pro transgender is objectively some dumb fucking shit and obviously not a real thing. At least I fucking hope it ain't because there has to be a limit to human stupidity.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's like Nazism and McCarthyism fucked and had a creepy, evil, disgusting baby.

[-] aarch0x40@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

This isn't about terrorism, it's about silencing the opposition.

[-] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

i am anti american (i see the us system and current us gov as very bad)

i am radically pro transgender (i think people should have the freedom to disobey religion and control their body, and am willing to fight hard)

i am transgender (recognize in myself that i am not what people forced me to be)

anarchism is among the ideologies i mostly agree with (alongside socialism and communism)

i am a terrorist >:3

fight me, pigs

Be gay do crimes.

[-] AnalogHole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 week ago

Trans people existing is subversive because it is an extremely high expression of freedom and challenges fundamental concepts about our world. If someone can change their gender, what else can we change? Capitalism? Politicians?

[-] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Nah. They're just a boogeyman conservatives use to scare WASPs. If it wasn't them it'd be some other group

[-] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

It's also an excuse to go after the lgbt community and other subjagated groups

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 0 points 2 weeks ago

Uh huh. Good luck, assholes. Gun's loaded and just waiting for you to come and get me.

[-] Unquote0270@programming.dev 0 points 2 weeks ago

Wouldn't that scenario just end up with you dead?

[-] nile_istic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yup. But you know how all the maga assholes think trans people are deviant sexual freaks? Well, guess what they do to them in custody.

Death is preferable.

In other news, any trans folks looking to learn how to shoot, Pink Pistols has chapters all over the country, and they've been creating safe learning environments for people of all genders and sexualities for years now.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

On our way to a more, well, final solution.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago

You've been sleepwalking into it for 30, 40 years.

You've let your buddy drive drunk for the entire road trip, quietly scolding him while giving everyone else the finger for deigning to suggest maybe you should take the wheel or at very least take away his keys. Now that you're headed toward that cliff, you like to pretend this is something you just now became aware of, but... huh, you're STILL not doing anything about it.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

White men will never recover from this. Any creditability they once had is gone.

I know I will never trust a white man going forward until the day I die.

[-] absentbird@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

You're getting down voted but where's the lie? Any white guy keeping his head down is complicit at this point. History will not be kind to the craven cowards of this decade.

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Because grouping an entire race of people under one umbrella-like view is racist.

Easy way to tell is just sub the race mentioned for another race. "I will never trust a black man from now until the day I die." Does that sound OK to you?

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'm trying to give the benefit of a doubt to Liberal white men but you gotta look at it from my perspective as a black man here. Look at every fucked up action that's been done in the last couple of years. And who provided the majority of support for Trump.

[-] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 weeks ago

White women. That is the majority of Trump's base.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Remember when people prioritized genocide on the other side of the planet and now they're going to get it right here at home?

[-] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah it sucks Harris and the DNC fully supported the genocide in Gaza. Hopefully they, and the american public, has learned their lesson.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

fully supported

Not sure you understand what these two words together mean.

One side was floating arms shipment cancellations and trying to broker a peace deal. The other side said "bulldoze it so we can build a resort" and a ton of American dipshits thought both sides were the same and abstained from voting.

Nothing I've seen in the last year has indicated to me that the American public has learned their lesson.

[-] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

You're trying to have an honest conversation with someone who has no intention of giving you that same courtesy.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I"m used to it.

My comment wasn't for them. It was for anyone reading that wasn't aware Dems were floating arms shipment cancellations and actually trying to broker a peace deal.

People need to be made aware that both sides are absolutely not the same. There's young, impressionable minds out there. I'm sure they occasionally read my comments and the comments of others that are trying to combat misinformation.

It isn't about one side being perfect. It's about one side being way, way better than the other. It's about making sure that side is in power so we have the flexibility, the opportunity, to bring about change. Cuz we ain't getting that with the other side. Well, we are getting change with them, but not the good kind.

[-] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago

One side was floating arms shipment cancellations and trying to broker a peace deal.

No side did this. Biden said he was going to do this, then he went behind congress multiple times to deliver weapons. Harris explicitly stated her policy on Gaza was the same as the Biden administration. Which would be useless ceasefires (ceasefires aren't ceasefires if only one side stops), empty words, while fully materially supporting the genocide while also supplying US intelligence and personnel for the genocide.

[-] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago
[-] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago

Yeah that's giving Americans far too much credit. One could imagine an educated populace could understand 'Those willing to do genocide to others are willing to do it to you,' but we are talking about the US here. They barely even go to school.

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

The republicans are still paying for this narrative to be diseminated?

[-] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago

At least your name checks out.
