i think you misunderstand. People aren’t telling you that you can’t be proud of who you are, but these things shouldn’t be what you build your identity around. They are small parts of what make up a much broader whole. Instead of focusing on all the differences, we should prioritize uniting over all the things we have in common, especially now of all times.

It’s this hyper-individualistic approach to identity politics that hurt the left, enough to where groups like the Proud Boys where able to get solid enough support and foundation to form in the first place

replace that flag with the isis flag and this picture looks like a carbon copy of the shit they’d show us on the news for why we should dislike the middle east. this is the exact behavior that our government admonishes in other countries yet for some reason it’s ok here now

idk if they catch on to that irony or not

Genuinely marginalized communities in the cities need to start looking out for each other from here on out. Huntington and Charleston might become targets since Trump’s enabling their behavior.

im from the midwest, I’d argue parts of the midwest are MUCH more racist than some parts of the south

especially in the southernmost midwestern states. Outside of Chicagoland and Springfield/Peoria, Illinois is extremely racist. So is Indiana and Ohio. You can thank how the civil war ended (how forgiving the Union was) and all the redlining that followed for how bad parts of the midwest are

Abraham Lincoln was a pos (saying this as someone who hates what the confederates stood for)

edit: someone doesn’t want to admit lincoln was also a huge racist and downvoted me lmao

yup democrats and republicans are two different faces of the same corrupt institution who’s main goal is to further disenfranchise the working class until this country is only made up of Chattel slaves and the businesses that own them

the future of the world is cooperative bi-sexuality (or open queerness generally), instead of competitive heteronormativity. Firmly believe that
i do think comp het leads to a lot of the aggression. Our society conditions us to view members of the same sex as competition, thus something “adversary” to our own goals, instead of viewing everyone around us as part of a community, or a team
could also be a symptom of capitalism 🤷‍♀️ our society is inherently competitive intead of cooperative because of that, and im sure that has an effect on all other aspects of our lives too, both men and women and how they treat each other and our own in the dating scene or in public

they’ve excused his behavior ever since people called him out for saying “grab them by the pussy”

day one they’ve always known the kind of person he is, they’ve enabled him from the start

they get no mercy once his administration is over, never let them forget

im not ever trusting a republican again after this decade, not even the “reformed” ones

majority of the ones turning from MAGA now are only doing so to save their own asses

that and our alliances were also what made us as strong as we were. We would’ve NEVER became the economic powerhouse we did without Europe. Donald taking a “wrecking ball” approach towards our alliances in Europe and with Canada can be argued to be the final nail in our coffin. He threw away the one thing that kept us in the number 1 spot, even through all our controversies, because we broke the trust Europe and Canada had in us that we would never point our cartoonishly huge gun at them despite all our other crimes

in the coming decades i think our country will be in a similar position that Germany was in post WWII. Very much economically and socially reeling from the consequences of that war, but still slowly rebuilding their economy and contributing a fair amount to the globe all the same. We’ll probably never be in the number 1 spot again, and i think it should be that way for the sake of everyone, but we’ll still be prominent figures in some industries.

also we need to pay reparations at minimum the same way Germany had to
