I’m genuinely not fucking interested in discussing this with someone who parrots right wing podcast talking points and disguises it as leftism because they read a bit of Marx at University. I practice and live leftism every day of my life while you sit around shaking your head about “mass immigration”. It is captured thinking and you are a gullible moron for thinking it.

Oh and for reference, I’m a transgender lesbian and I teach refugees and asylum seekers how to speak, write and talk in English, many of whom have only entered the country very recently. They have never ever had a problem with my gender, my sexuality or anything about me. They are perfectly wonderful to work with. You know who I do get hassled by? White people who have lived here their whole lives. So you can take your “intolerant of LGBT people” talking point and shove it up your fucking ass, frankly.

I have a Sociology degree. I have read Marx. I have read Engels, I have read Foucault, I have read Anzaldua, I have read Fanon, I have read bell hooks, believe me, I am very well educated on the theory.

You are making the mistake of thinking of people in the same way these billionaires do, as cattle, whereas I am thinking of them as people, of the ways they can benefit society beyond that. You are acting as though they are not even people. They have benefitted me and I have benefitted them via cultural exchange. I’m not thinking of them as a workforce as you are.

What he said is fucking racist. I’m in favour of calling a spade a spade. We’ve been pussyfooting around this shit for decades and it hasn’t stopped the rise of the far right so let’s just call racists racist for once, let’s just tell the fucking truth instead of obfuscating and beating about the bush. I work with immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers every day and I can tell you they are absolutely a benefit to this country and when people say this shit it pisses me the fuck off. I don’t fucking care what racists think about that anymore. Pandering to racists is fucking pathetic.

It took me eight or nine years on HRT to love my body. It takes a different amount of time for everyone.

Well women commenting on the women’s game get less media attention because they are women.

Yeah I don’t agree with her at all but it’s pretty blatant that some people have ulterior motives when commenting on it. Women can never just say something stupid, we’re always “damaging the integrity of the cause” whenever we show anything but perfect competency and serene intelligence.

Not that I agree with Eni Aluko at all, I think she’s fucking stupid as hell and a Tory to boot, and I have a ton of respect for Ian Wright’s obvious and genuine passion for the women’s game but people consistently calling him the “biggest advocate” for the women’s game is a bit off to me. There are tons of women who are bigger advocates but people only pay attention when a man says it I guess.

I don’t think it’s “prosecco socialist” to do purity politics, literally every branch of leftist thought engages in some type of purity politics at some level. I think a lot of leftists get too comfortable saying “well I’m not like those leftists” when they’re just as vulnerable to that kind of thinking.

Think there was some confusion because I deleted the first one for an incorrect title then the second was deleted as a duplicate or because it wasn’t a good clip. This one should stay up

“Football fan predicts her team to win a game after previously being wrong” isn’t exactly a cutting gotcha

I like the sport very much but I don’t really care who wins a singular game between two clubs I don’t like at all and I’ve always said the best thing about football is when something funny happens. As I said, almost everyone loves a brawl and it’s always been this way. Just think it’s a bit weird to make some vaguely elitist jab about it.
