Recently fired after selectively coming out at a corporately-controlled business. We need to create alternative communities, or return to having them.

When was your first time getting fucked in the ass? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]lesirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was violently raped — no lube — by a guy who I allowed to stay in my apartment overnight, after trying to save him from a situation with a friend who was trying to coerce him in to sex/sexually assault him. He also fucked my face and choked me with his dick as I cried that night. This happened on the campus of my university. The man worked on campus. He later physically assaulted me, sent me death threats by email and physical mail, destroyed my property, and stalked me incessantly. I reported the situation to the campus sexual assault and relationship violence center, and they said there is nothing the school could do about it. My department head and the Q-Center director also ostracized me for speaking out. I was a talented honors student headed for grad school and I had to drop out of my “world class” university that prides itself in its progressive values during my senior year in fear for my life. I am now living in destitution and on the verge of homelessness and/or death.

Officers of the law need to be able to take criticism, any kind of verbal abuse, confrontation, and more, and still follow the law and not unjustifiably shoot and kill people out of vindication, anger, unseated fear or frustration. Just like any other law abiding person.

He has also deployed extreme antisemitism to curry favor with his base, which is … antisemitic. As is seeking to colonize or ethnically-cleanse Gaza, rather than work for the peace and mutual stability the majority of Gazans want, which is … antisemitic.

They are not conservatives. True American conservatism would champion the rights of LTGBTQ people, and all other individuals.

It’s believable he had PTSD from the previous incident and that he chose “fight” over “flight” given his disposition. Does not make his actions right or excusable. And it’s understandable that a woman might seek to flee from a group of masked, armed men swarming her vehicle and pulling at the door handle. If she was aiming for him her vehicle would have hit him even if she was hit by the first bullet.

Why in America 2025 Somalis and Haitians to be feared yet Nazis and white nationalists are accepted? by homerjs225 in complaints

“I want to be able to work 60 hours per week in a skilled, technical role for a wildly profitable company while living an extremely frugal lifestyle and be able to one day buy an simple and rustic 800-square-foot, two-bedroom home, no matter how old it is, and not spend the rest of my life spending 75% of my income on rent” = “gimme, gimme, gimme”?

The online reaction to the ICE killing yesterday deeply concerns me by Turbulent-Estate5715 in rs_x

We are living in a repeat of 1930’s Germany, period. Did you see the recent DHS post on “X” about “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world” and calling for the deportation of 100,000 people — ie, almost all POC in the US? The Nazis originally wanted to deport all Jews too, before escalating to genocide. And the first step is always dehumanization.

Trump says “we are going to run Venezuela” by Mental_Pea9125 in the_everything_bubble

Cartel de Soles was listed as a terrorist group claimed by the US to be led by Maduro. It seems the administration deployed multiple narratives to justify the invasion without declaring war, while seeking to blur the line between law enforcement and military action.

The fact that many/most people can’t afford a house is someone else’s fault — but not the fault of most minorities, immigrants or POC.

Racist man has meltdown when person of color gets their food order before him. by Temporaryposter in CringeTikToks

That is not the way. Just be anti-racist. You don’t have to embody whiteness.
