Whale was like "if not food, why food shaped?" 😂

Seriously though, that must have been terrifying..

From the forced sterilisations of disabled people upto the 70s,

Still happening, both in US and EU (couldn't find a good source on the UK, though I don't doubt it happens, instead have this horrible statistic Disabled people's Covid-19 death rate as much as 11 times higher than non-disabled people because we're not seen as worth saving), and certainly in most other countries too.

And this is just disabled people, Indigenous people (in Canada too, of course), immigrants in detention are still being forced/coerced sterilised, as well as several other marginalised groups targeted in different ways (like systemic racism that leads to higher mortality rates of Black birthing parent and babies during and after pregnancy, UK US Canada).

And to go back to what the op of the thread said, the Trail of Tears, is like the tiniest tip of a monstrous iceberg of ongoing genocide, and that monstrous iceberg is just one of many floating in the American ocean of white supremacist atrocity (and before the Americans get defensive, Yes, other countries do atrocities too, yes citizens there/here are also taught a whitewashed version of history that serves to maintain the state, you may not be alone, but you're absolutely no better than anyone else).

Yeah, that person is a transphobe and a sealion, and there is absolutely no point in providing them any leeway or platform to spew their bigotry from.

I blocked all 3 people in that conversation, and the community it came from, that doesn't mean I'm just going to sit quietly and let a transphobic mod get their way and foster their own little transphobic community, especially since I assume it is against the rules of the instance they're on.

We need to call out this shit publicly, not just look the other way.

I reported the comments, but the sole mod openly saying they agree with them is why I made this post, assuming the reports go to them ,and they will blatantly just ignore them

E: I have now also after realising the mod is from lmmy.ee but the community is hosted on db0, crossposted to our own meta

It isn't the metoo that is the crisis, it's the rapists and abusers that cause it, that are.

I sure am grateful for how easy it is to avoid porn on lemmy, may that continue to be the case with the certain upcoming influx of it.

You do realise that many people (significantly more since covid in fact) are on benefits because we can't work, right? And it's those benefits (disability, employment support) that are getting the worst cuts.

So you're not technically wrong, but your solution also doesn't help those of us most targeted.

Blaschko's lines

I think the most depressing thing about this is that it will actually come as a surprise to some, who will be feeling let down by their pet "good billionaire".

I hope if nothing else this serves as a wake up call to them to the true and inevitable nature of billionaires, but I won't hold my breath..

E: smfh, just seen that a mod of this very community (and every other community on beehaw it seems lol) is one of those people, and I was wrong, they don't even feel let down, they just flat out refuse to acknowledge. What a joke.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but sadly people wouldn't listen, they were (rightfully!) so desperate to get the tories out, they didn't want to hear that the establishment had arranged for them to be voting another one straight in.

And they also don't want to hear that this was entirely intentional, that it is a well established way of getting the blue tories back in and worse than ever next election, and that continuing to play this silly game of "vote for one of the two people we've approved for you to vote for" is ever going to benefit us as a society, but only the ones manipulating us in to keeping them in power.

And so the exact same cyclical shit will keep happening.
