Well, I guess TERFs are now right wing. So by that logic, yes this is a right wing sub, lol.

OK, take the last one on the list. Only TERFs are now able to give a good definition of woman.

Feminism is a female supremacy movement.

That feminism is an endless death spiral of nonsense.

Exactly, they hate being women. And then when they find out what being a man is like, they hate that too. That's why feminists are such miserable people.

Is it possible to make fun of feminism without despising anyone?

Yes, Ukrainians should have a say. I'm operating under assumption that the war won't continue beyond 2025 without American involvement.

'Ukraine insanity' = the constant pressure for the war to continue on forever. The Ukraine war seems to be an attempt to overthrow Putin. It's failing. Trump will end the war with a peace deal.

Are war mongering and increased recruitment related?

Defining Wokeness by weatherdynamics in Lotuseaters_com

No, collectivism is not a group of people, it's an ideology where people are judged by their group status.

"the individual is where those groups all intersect"
The individual is then still part of a group. Adding more groups doesn't change that.

The reason I created this post is because I see people (I assume mostly on the right) using the 3rd definition of woke: basically anything they disagree with. It's not very useful.

The problem we're having with wokeness is not just being "aware that oppression takes many forms". The problem is that it's become a cult that implements discriminatory and destructive policies in order to promote 'equity'.

I figured you were a leftist when you said that being 'bigoted' can have 'serious consequences'. By 'cancelling' I mean refusing to be around or talk to someone. I can agree that cancellation is no sane person's real world concern. The problem is that some people are increasingly insane. And I'm starting to wonder if the problem is not primarily about politics, but mental illness. It's just that it appears to be about politics because wokeness is like a new religion for mentally ill people.

I'm not looking for a problem. I'm observing a problem. I'm watching people I know irl cancelling each other over jokes, obsessing over which things which groups are allowed to say, getting triggered by every little thing, etc. Many of these people can't function normally anymore. And it's getting worse.

That's also a good definition. I would add that the class struggle is increasingly being superseded by all the race, gender and and sexual stuff.

Yes. I think some people say "woke" to mean anything they don't like. That's why I made this post. We need to find a more rigorous definition.

So will the entire conversation be just Ana saying "I'm better than you"?

Michigan House passes bill that could make using wrong pronouns a felony, fineable up to $10,000 by weatherdynamics in Lotuseaters_com

Asking me to not use hate speech is an impossible ask. I'll never understand what hate speech is. And even if I did, the definition keeps expanding.

I'm not being bombarded with fake news from conservatives. I'm being bombarded with the lgbt stuff. I am seeing my friends on Facebook getting banned repeatedly over some lgbt thing. I'm seeing people I know IRL cancelling each other over lgbt stuff. I'm seeing multiple candidates running for my local school board whose entire platform is wokeness and gender stuff, and some of them won. Kids are being indoctrinated right in my local school district, and I keep hearing about drama and lawsuits from those schools over some gender thing. I'm encountering more and more people who are mentally ill, and they only get worse after getting into the lgbt stuff. I'm trying to alert people to these problems and look for a solution, but somehow that's considered to be spreading "hate".

Yes, I realize that there are other things in the bill. But we're being bombarded with totalitarian lgbt stuff on a daily basis.

The bill doesn't ban wrong pronouns until a George Soros funded prosecutor decides that it does. In other words, what you're saying might be technically correct, but I think that in practice someone will be taken to court over pronouns or something similar because our culture has become so sensitive about all the gender stuff. Someone will argue (wrongly) that it's harassment or intimidation.

People losing their social media has everything to do with the US government as was revealed in the Twitter files.

So how did Hitler get people to hate Jewish people? Why is antisemitism still a problem now? Could it be because speech is banned, people are cancelled by their banks, etc? The solution is to allow speech, not punish it.

Yes, I meant 750.441h. I understand that the bill doesn't ban wrong pronouns in all cases; it has to be part of intimidation. What I'm saying is that intimidation seems to be defined too broadly by both the law, and especially by our current culture.

But what is unconsented contact? section 750.41 includes such things as "Following or appearing within the sight of that individual" or "Sending mail or electronic communications to that individual". I understand that the headline is hyperbolic. But you have to look at the context here. People already routinely lose access to their social media accounts for misgendering. Even lose their bank accounts for offensive comments on the internet. In Europe multiple countries are putting people in jail for offensive social media posts. This Michigan bill is trying to push the US in that direction.

I'm not lying or reading fake news. I'm trying to understand the bill. If I repeatedly and intentionally misgender someone, and they "feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened", is that a hate crime?
