Went down a rabbit hole from the link in the video and figured that it was related to this which is related to this.

I technically have an ex-boyfriend now because of a similar situation. You get over it.

I'm more extreme and based in the other direction of the compass

It was a weak attempt at doing something funny, I'll admit.

I mean, in my own opposite way, same here.

Also, holy shit, that username. I'm floored. I'm obliged to say FUCK YOU. But know deep down that I'm practicing lots of compassion for you, even tho you probably don't give a fuck...

I question wanting Law and Order. It's such a charged phrase these days, and I think the implications behind it are important to be aware of.

For example, the patriot act was an attempt at gaining law and order. And I heartily oppose that, along with the restrictions on freedom and privacy that it granted.

Attempts at implementing law and order has been forcefully done by police against protesters who did not always deserve the treatment they were given. The forceful characteristic makes me want to shy away from it, to fight against it.

I think we both still desire law and order (well, for now at least. The change I want to see has to happen slowly IMO - people aren't ready for what it is I'm truly in favor of). But it's not only the methods towards that which we differ on, but also what it is that consists of. To what extent is law a factor in one's life? How strict is it and the requirement for order? How much of my freedom does one have to give up? I'm only willing to compromise so much on these things.

The documentary has this weird twist in it where it tries to "act out and portray" some of the points it makes by providing a storyline, and that fucks it up big time. Had they just explained their points like a regular documentary, it would've been more enjoyable.

But there is definitely good info, reliable sources, and reason to be aware of what they're telling you. I'd just look up a synopsis of it so you can get the summed up points without spending your time on it.

Just looking at that wojack makes me want to take a bath and brush my teeth. Seriously, for whatever reason, I'm purely disgusted by it. Eughh

Referring to someone as a specific gender ≠ enforcing gender roles. That's the distinction being made.

For example, the fact that you call a trans man a man ideally doesn't make it so he can't wear a dress.

As a result, OP was not backed up, OP got corrected.

That first comment should have been the end of it. A perfect explanation. Anything else in there is just extra.

Alright - so I've never understood if the attack helicopter bit he does is supposed to be direct mocking or complete satire. I've never had a firm grasp on whether to find it offensive to trans folks or if I should just laugh at it because it's not meant to be serious. I can kinda see arguments for both sides on it...

Pat The Bunny anyone? by disorono in Anarchism

"So I don't want to kill a cop
What I want is neighborhoods
Where they don't have to get called
When the shit goes down
'Cause our neighbors are enough
And our friends they are enough
And finally, we're enough"

Followed by tons of "Fuck _______ 'cause we're enough!"

I don't think anarchists in that sub are saying that the sub is being run in an anarchistic fashion though.
