For category 1 I nominate @Ivysaur@hexbear.net for her covid posting and @frauddogg@hexbear.net for the best anti-settler posting.
Not sure about category 2, lots of fantastic tankies on here I can’t single anyone out.
For category 3, I’m just going to nominate a bunch of people: @ashinadash@hexbear.net, @magi@hexbear.net, @TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net, @Thallo@hexbear.net, @Seryph@lemmygrad.ml. And a very special shoutout @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net for creating such a lovely inviting space for POC on this site. Thank you all!
i’m going to just repost what i said on the last thread debunking misandry lol.
I remember when this topic was brought up a few months ago and some “enlightened centrist” men kept trying to debatebro the position that misandry technically exists because some women do not like men (because of their experiences with misogyny), forgetting that misogyny is waaaaaaay more than that lmao. Imagine if misogyny was just “sometimes a man does not like me” instead of a whole system of continual oppression and abuse.
Oh yeah, I'm of the opinion that the whole system of therapy is fucked and that good therapists are fairly hard to find in a system which seeks to uphold the hegemony of a conception of "wellness" under the doom-spiral of capitalism. My last therapist was an older white person who had absolutely no advice for me dealing with a horrific anxiety disorder, severe OCD, ADHD, autism, and constant retraumatization from covid, capitalism, and the difficult family situation I was living in. She actually victim-blamed me once in the aftermath of a moment of physical violence and then when I confronted her about it later, she denied it and tried to gaslight me. She also kept harping on about me wearing a mask and taking covid precautions. I also had no idea of how to even breach the subject of being a Chinese trans person with her. It was such a bad experience that it put me off trying to find a therapist again for months, and now I'm trying again but with OCD-specific therapy this time.
maybe they can try not supporting the IOF next time
Do none of you people arguing for the existence of misandry understand that “a woman was mean to me once” is not in any way remotely comparable to the systematic undervaluing of women as people for the benefit of men. If you’re a man and you ever feel the need to express a hot take on how misandry totally is a real problem, you have to remember first that you are benefitting from patriarchy right now whether you know it or not and like it or not.
Death to Israel.
Solidarity, comrade.
I’m technically aware that a majority of people in imperial core countries think this, but it truly seems mystifying to me how that’s the case because it’s just so self-evidently wrong. Red scare propaganda really did a hell of a lot of work.
edit: rereading this and realizing it feels pretty self-righteous “i’m better than you” and going to self-crit on that. I believed the propaganda once too and was able to change my mind. it does nothing to give up on people who bought into the propaganda like all of us once did.
death to america
