I tuned in for like 10 seconds and Hasan was making a joke about Pelosi being a Maoist third worldist and Vivian had no idea what he was talking about lmao.
Yeah she knows nothing. All she knows is she's seen "tankies bad and authoritarians" in some trans community she lurks or something. She knows genuinely nothing else beyond having googled the names of a bunch of marxist ideologies.
I honestly think she just isn't tuned into politics beyond what most teens know. She's 20 years old. I would be surprised if most 20 year olds knew what a MTW was.
She is also a rich man’s daughter. Why should she ever have come in contact with far left politics
i will always condone the use of Gender Stasi to gulag all transphobes. if that makes me a tankie then I'll drive that shit to your house.
She seems so happy being able to be herself. How can Elon be such a fuckwad?
Allies ask me stuff like this all the time. How can people be transphobic? It makes no sense to them. And rationally, it really doesn't, there is no good reason to be transphobic, just as there is no good reason to be racist. But there's plenty of bad reasons for it. Most of them are rooted in patriarchy, because our existence refutes central ideas that such a system is built upon. We are an ideological threat to somebody who believes in a natural order of oppositional sexism. Anybody who upholds "traditional" notions of gender, sexuality and relationships can at best tolerate us as an exception that proves the rule, and that usually means a strictly binarist transmedicalism. Trans rights can only be fully realized when there's freedom of gender expression, bodily and reproductive autonomy and equality of all genders, and while this benefits everybody both cis and trans as long as they want a just and equitable society, all of that is dangerous and destructive when you want patriarchy.
And there's also the element of what i call parental transphobia. A lot of parents see their kids not as autonomous, self-determined beings, but project things onto them, and our transition disrupts these projections. Elmo sees his kids as mini elmos that exist not as individuals with agency of their own, but only as his expies. And when one of them says "fuck you i'm not your copy, i'm a girl for starters", that's something he will never be able to accept.
There's other forms of transphobia that are more personal or rooted in ideological inconsistencies, like the hyper-specific brainworms of actual TERFs or transphobic Marxists, for example. And i think there's people who just hate me because i show that you can make radical changes in your life and that we can refuse to stay the same. That's threatening to some people. But none of that applies here.
The apple fell far from the tree
So Vivian said that when she was 12 Elmo used to try and get her and her brother to play Overwatch with him likely so they could carry him out of bronze. Elmo then almost immediately posted a clip of him sitting in a chair playing PoE2.
thickest skinned elon moment
Well he's definitely not actually running the federal government or managing world companies so...
Kekius_Maximus
Oh god, it gets worse than I already knew
You have to be a deeply disturbed person to find this "kek" stuff funny
To be fair, it is pretty funny that the self-styled "Kekius Maximus" is basically POTUS and running the US govt to the ground. Delicious delicious schadenfreude, even if I go down with the ship at least the fall of the empire will not be dignified. Hopefully the (memory of the) burger imperium is clowned on for thousands of years to come.
