I have a hunch Vivian isn't gonna be the last of his kids to get a name change.

Also, note where our man Merrick says how they found out about this guy - "Confidential Human Sources".

Fash have incredibly shitty opsec, as you'd expect from orgs where you can literally say "i'm a cop btw" and they immediately go bootlicker

Yeah sure, the guys who would fall for "hey, we do not give a shit about your material problems, do you want to pick up a rifle and be a murdering tool of our empire instead?" will pick fascism with lanyard cringelord aesthetics over mask-off fascism. How far does this ridiculous dork have his head up his own ass to convince himself this plan could work?

Would be nice to see the numbers for straight cis people as well. I mean, as a queer person, i can talk all day long about the genre of guy that's the reactionary, bourgeoisified, transphobic, biphobic, acephobic, misogynist, racist, ableist cis gay man who wants to keep his hegemonial role in the community while pulling up the ladder in his defeatist assimilationism. I know guys like that, i've seen former friends become like this, they're insufferable, there's too many of them and this is a real problem for organizing in queer spaces, but i generally do not feel comfortable having that kind of converation with cishet dudes, in a similar way in which a black person would probably feel weird if i as a white woman got worked up about black assimilationists more than i get worked up about my racist former gay friend.

Firstly, most straight dudes don't even remotely understand the context in which assimilationist queer people operate because they do not know what it's like having to navigate a queerphobic society as a queer person and how easily queer people can take a wrong turn and try to demonstrate fealty to cishetnormativity instead of doing the reasonable thing of throwing bricks at it (this is also why i do not talk much about transmedicalism outside of trans spaces even though it's one of my main red button issues within them). Secondly, the problem is that both from my personal experience and from similar polls, the number of shitheads is notably higher among the straights, even straight women, than among gay guys, and the number of people who do actual, meaningful trans allyship among the gay community is a lot higher. On a website full of cishet dudes with ... let's say with room to grow when it comes to views on gender issues and sexuality, there's just a lot of potential for deflection here.

Not saying we should go soft on the dollar store Yiannopoulos kind of gay man, not saying a straight guy reading this shouldn't push back against transphobic bs from a log cabin republican, but each of you knows ten times as many transphobic straight people than transphobic gay people, and if you wanna be an ally, you should focus on battling transphobia in your own back yard. Playing up gay and lesbian transphobia because it seems more credible and harder to attack is clearly a conservative tactic at this point, do not contribute to weaponizing idpol and platforming the Olly Londons and Kathleen Stocks of this world. They are fringe figures in our communities and to push them further to the fringe, we have to avoid giving them the engagement they're supposed to get.

A lot of right wingers didn't get that the show actually makes fun of them, their beliefs and their aesthetics until the show

season 3 spoilersliterally had a cop superhero called Blue Hawk yell stuff like "All lifes matter! Blue lifes matter!" while beating up a black community meeting and had a black superhero grind him into a fine paste afterwards.

Did libs really think Putin was gonna try and pull an Ögedei Khan and try to take Europe?

They did unironically think that, yes.

When every last gamer is finally transed. They don't even realize they're already deep in the pipeline as soon as they download FNV, EU IV or a soulslike game, some just take more time to crack than others.

Only way to settle this is a one on one death match between Milei and Sunak.

r/pcm users by flair:

blue: nazis

red: nazis who want free healthcare

green: nazis who like to smoke weed

purple / yellow: nazis with more than 1TB of CSAM on their harddrive

it certainly seems like the mods there let anything slide as long as it is isn't outright incitement to violence

Our mods tolerate a lot of things that would get you banned on reddit, such as calling for the death of nazis as long as it's not what we call "fedposting" (actionable threats of violence that would also work as an FBI honeypot). On the other hand, our moderation team is probably the most hardline one on the entire internet when it comes to punishing transphobia and other queerphobic sentiments, and we do not take kindly to other forms of bigottry on there, either. For example, using the r-slur or other ableist language will reliably get your post deleted. If you have a habit of calling people you disagree with autistic or schizophrenic, you can prepare for getting banned from our instance. We look out for our neurodivergent comrades. Then there's the entire culture against hornyposting that we have. Hexbear is very different from the rest of the internet when it comes to sexualizing and objectifying people. We're not a sex-negative instance, but we're hentai free and don't want things to get creepy and uncomfortable in our place. We have a fairly elaborate culture of what goes into a content warning, too. We're most definitely not an "anything goes" free speech absolutist instance. We're a staunchly leftist, intersectional, antifascist community and we actively fight to keep it that way so that all marginalized people can feel safe around us.
