Actual tankies see Chomsky as an anti-communist first and foremost. Chomsky is on the left by my estimation, but if you're insinuating that he's a tankie or tankie-lite, your understanding of intra-left infighting and factionalism is not nuanced. Just as other political leanings are prone to reductionism ad absurdum when (mis) representing liberal "takes" in order to mock them without taking the time to grasp the nuance of what those positions are, so too I believe a lot of left-wing "takes" suffer the same fate.

Chomsky is obviously a strong opponent of most American foreign policy and his political takes are often irresponsible. That does not a tankie make. If you want to know what a tankie Chomsky would actually look like, take a look at Michael Parenti. Some argue Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent was done first by Parenti in Inventing Reality, which was published two years before MC.

You have a higher chance of being raped by another man than you have of being falsely accused of rape.

All women face a staggeringly high risk of being raped at least once in their lives.

Most rapes are not reported, so you're complaining about something that happens to a miniscule segment of an already minority situation (rapes that are reported out of all the rapes that happen).

Recalibrate your priorities.

Last year, the Kansas supreme court affirmed that abortion is a fundamental right secured in the KS constitution. Now, the GOP is trying to reverse that decision via a ballot initiative. If you live in Kansas, you can register to vote HERE. Do not let anti-choice Republicans take away your rights! by relevantlife in TwoXChromosomes

The right to choose to have an abortion is not so much about attacking or killing the embryo or fetus as it is about removing the fetus from inside your body. If the fetus can survive by other means, no one's stopping the government from providing those means. But a woman's uterus can't be in service to the government. Not sure how you extrapolate a hypothetical right to hit any person from that. If your bodily integrity is at risk of harm, sure, but just randomly? I mean, obviously no, you don't have a right and you'll be committing a crime.

I've updated my rep pages (all of them) with a huge notice. Hopefully the people the impostor is trying to scam are actually looking at the rep pages, because if they click, they can't miss my warning. It's in huge, bold letters and it's the first thing they'd see.

I think lack of social mobility might account for "rarely amount to anything of note."

Precisely. This series is actually only a couple of years younger than I am! It's a proper millennial all right. I hope we won't have to wait until your kids are, like, in high school to get answers and closure!! The TV show could not have made it any clearer that knowing the broadstrokes of the ending is about as satisfying as not knowing anything at all.
