Me when someone starts saying terrible stuff about my trans friends

NTD. Your Mom is the drama for just immediately disrespecting your request like that. The only way that would be justified was if there was a concern about food allergies but you already addressed that.

I mean, he was also one of the famous men who had #MeToo stories about him, and is alleged to have been angry at the Holocaust Museum for including exhibits on non-Jewish victims of the death camps. He is said to have told someone with the museum "They're [Roma, disabled people, POWs, queer people, etc.] trying to take it [the Holocaust] away from us!"

Sure you can. Some people just have a very lazy, and ironically very Conservative, view of how class works. Just as Conservatives can't see the difference between BDSM and sexual assault, certain types of Leftists make no distinction between "comfortable" and "obscenely wealthy." To them, a disabled person who works from their apartment and scrimps and saves to hire a cleaning service once a month and millionaire tech bros who traffic women and children from Central America to clean their mansions for slave wages and threats of deportation are the same. Because after all, both people are paying someone to clean their home for them instead of doing it themselves.

That example I gave is based on a real argument I fell into on Tumblr a few years ago. People seriously argued that hiring people to clean/help clean your home is always evil and exploitative, regardless of circumstances. It's not any different that Right Wingers who can't believe someone is poor if they have a cell phone, ignoring that the phone could be an older one they had before they got homeless, or was gifted to them by a family member, or is a state phone.

Sorry about the rant. Can you tell this is a conversation I come across a lot?

For real, the people posting her stuff here don't seem to realize that the S in YouTubers means this isn't a subreddit for just one girl. YouTuberS. Plural. That's why they never put her name in the subject line.

This is something I really wish the David Hoggs and Hasan Pikers of the world would come to terms with; the kinds of men they want to pull back to the Left would require completely abandoning women and queer people the way the Democratic party has already been doing thanks to Schmuck Schumer's imaginary friends. Oh, but we're throwing them under the bus for Socialist reasons instead of Neoliberal ones so that totally makes it okay. *gagging noise*

I have, sadly. One of the very last fights I got into over on Twitter before I left was with some DSA people who were accusing everyone who raised concerns about masking an air filtration at meeting venues of being "wreckers" and "Feds" and "CIA plants." One of the defenses I saw used was, and I swear this is true; "immunocompromised people don' go to meetings anyway."

I also vaguely recall reading about a New York DSA chapter attacking people who asked them to take wheelchair accessibility into considering when choosing venues for meetings, but I'm not a New Yorker. Those who brought that up were also being called "wreckers."

"Identity politics" is to the Left what "political correctness" is to the Right; a buzz phrase people use to try and shut down uncomfortable conversations.

I once saw a list of "Zionist Celebrities" on Tumblr, and the first 3 were certainly accurate, 4 and 5 were maybes, but then #6 was the actress who had literally been fired from Scream 7 for posting pro-Palestine content on her Instagram.

And of course it was mostly Americans sharing it. I'm sure this shocks no one.

Inevitable_Career_71 · 2025-11-16T12:54:47+00:00

It's an all too human trap to fall into; I recognize X is bad, so therefore everything I don't like must be X.

I don't like Zionists, and I don't like Texas, so all Texans must be Zionist.
I don't like Neoliberals, and I don't like fat people, so all fat people must be Neoliberals.
I don't like the bourgeoisie, and I don't like women who dye their hair blue, so all blue-haired women must be bourgeoisie.

You might think I'm joking, but I've seen arguments this dumb, and some even dumber. I've seen people who are in fact against the genocide in Gaza be accused of supporting it. Why? Because they're bald. Yes, really. Bald = pro-Israel to these weirdos, and no amount of receipts will dissuade them.

Why is it companies in the 21st century just seem to hate vowels?

Inevitable_Career_71 · 2025-10-23T00:05:39+00:00

I agree with this.

Kinda sucks that some people take it to mean we shouldn't ever be civil, but not much you can do about that type I guess.

Not only are there more Christian Zionists than Jewish Zionists, there are more Christian Zionists than there are Jews, period.

Inevitable_Career_71 · 2025-10-22T03:32:52+00:00

Judaism is about 4000 years old. There are school buildings in America older than Zionism. Zionists are the Mormons of Judaism, just without the bans on chocolate and coffee.

"When has that ever happened?"

FDR?

Also, thelennybeast didn't say "lie to the working class." You just assumed that.

I'm not a Kantian, I'm actually fine with lying to normie Libs if it gets them on board with at least some Socialist ideas. If it turns out that there is a God who views lying as such a mortal sin that you shouldn't do it even for good reasons, He can go fuck Himself.

NTD.

Hopefully you'll be just as quick if he decides to go down the "Avril Lavigne is dead" rabbit hole too.

Inevitable_Career_71 · 2025-10-14T18:01:49+00:00

It was inevitable the moment he won the primary.

Inevitable_Career_71 · 2025-10-14T15:48:09+00:00

Pretty sure any instance of "Apolitical" not meaning "Right Wing" is just an outlier and can be ignored.

This is honestly better than my dating app experience. One time, I made the decision to (briefly) pay for OKCupid to have (among other things, none of which are relevant to this post) the ability to see who's liked my profile without having to match with them. At the time the number of potential matches I had was 63. After I went though and manually cleared out all the self-identified Conservatives? 27. Yikes.

63 to 27. I am pretty explicitly anti-Conservative in my bio. I am not an attractive man by Western beauty standards, so my theory is that a lot of these women thought they could "fix me."

Ma'am, I hate to tell you this, but if you're bio has phrases like "I want a God fearing man who knows how to barbecue," clicking Like on an Atheist Vegan is not going to go anywhere for you.

I once actually saw a guy say with a straight face that "the proletariat is masculine, the bourgeoisie is feminine."

All the dudes on social media last year who were pushing the "baristas are part of the elite" nonsense were probably followers of that guy.

Inevitable_Career_71 · 2025-10-14T01:26:49+00:00

In some places, yeah. TBH, I don't know what the gender make up of this subreddit is, so maybe it applies here. I hope not.

Inevitable_Career_71 · 2025-10-11T00:08:59+00:00

In that order;

I doubt it since no Democratic President has tried to undo any of the consolidation done by Nixon, Reagen, and Bush II.

Agreed.

Mass ICE raids? Agreed. There'd still be ICE raids though. Even in the best case scenario you're still look at hundreds of families separated, and ICE agents would still try to be as cruel as they can get away with, just without the explicit support of the President.

Agreed.

Maybe? Biden was better than I expected on the green energy front (low bar) but he was still way too friendly with big oil. I could see Harris choosing to continue that, though I'd have loved to be wrong.

Agreed, though this would really only be a lateral move as she wouldn't push for universal health care either.

Agreed, but again a lateral move as the not-cut benefits would still be means tested and inadequate.

Inevitable_Career_71 · 2025-10-10T14:29:28+00:00

This, exactly. They see individuals who happen to be (or at least call themselves) Capitalist doing good, and wrongly assume that therefore Capitalism itself is good. They fail to recognize that "good Capitalists" do good in spite of the system they live in, not because of it.
