It’s almost like you wrote a whole thing to say “from each according to their means, to each according to their needs”

Unless you intended to say that you prefer “to each according to their means” because you believe people who achieve more due to their natural gifts should get more… But that’s kind of fucked up when you really think about it. I hope you’re born gifted!

I was with you most of the way but you lost me here. Some of the biggest privileges for cis straight white males is that they don’t have to deal with racism, sexism, and bigotry over who they are and who they love. That’s not a zero sum game. We can all have that privilege. That privilege isn’t what causes bigotry.

There are some privileges that would be lost, like being preferentially hired by racists. But for the most part we’re fighting in large part for equal good treatment. It’s not a zero sum game.

Yes and you know what all us leftists say, “if you have any adversity it means you never had any privilege at all in the first place” very valid. Thank you for your contribution.

The boobs on the left are nice to look at, but the ones on the right daaaayum that’s nice. Because of our societal expectation of bras at all times for all women, when you see boobs like on the right it’s because a woman has chosen to be vulnerable and it’s extra intimate.

The boobs on the left are boobs you get to see, the ones on the right are the boobs you might get to touch!

The American Israeli coalition directly and intentionally destroyed a desalination plant in Iran. Barhain’s desalination plant was damaged by debris from a drone strike on another target. Those are very different statements and very different levels of destruction.

But yes, they’re soft targets if the people attacking you are complete degenerates willing to commit way crimes!

Bad Photoshop will always be better than good AI!

Yeah that’s the best part. If you watch the vid, it’s clear that the police did most of the damage, but the senator was right in the way “helping” trying to get the “good PR” and he caught all the blame. Absolutely beautiful turn of events!

Except for the marine… Having your hands broken for telling the truth is brutal. No one wants to die for Israel’s wars of aggression.

Except the whole point is that it’s free and you’re not selling anything anyways.

That’s not the original intent. In the US, HOAs were mostly created after the end of segregation to keep black people out of white neighborhoods, an origin story that puts into context the modern of pettiness and desire to control others we see in stories like this.

In the early postwar period after World War II, many [HOAs] were defined to exclude African Americans and, in some cases, Jews, with Asians also excluded on the West Coast.

A racial covenant in a Seattle, Washington, neighborhood stated, “No part of said property hereby conveyed shall ever be used or occupied by any Hebrew or by any person of the Ethiopian, Malay or any Asiatic race.”

When these were found unconstitutional in 1948, they became private contacts until those became illegal in 1968, but because HOAs had to approve new members/buyers, the rules stayed in effect until the majority of a community decided to stop being racist. On top of that, in 1963 the Federal Housing Administration said they would only insure mortgages on homes with an HOA which is really what created suburban sprawl and the ghettoization of the American inner cities.

If you look at the history of HOAs it’s really a long and protracted fight on all levels by racists and bigots against the Civil Rights movement.

TL;DR: Although conceptually HOAs are a good idea, even trending towards communalism, actually existing HOAs are, with a few exceptions, downright regressive, often criminally so.

Yeah, that’s fair. In leftist spaces we should have healthy debate. We just can’t let that undermine solidarity with our more and less radical members.

It’s such a great skit

I get what you’re saying, but we need both of you, and we need you to stop fighting.

We only win enough power to deal with fascism (which will kill millions at this rate) and eventually climate change (which is going to kill billions of people) if we use EVERY strategy available to us. Progressive like electing the best democrats we can, socialist like labour action, and radical like actually fighting an unjust system.

But most importantly we have to stop fighting eachother. People like you need to hold their noses and vote at every election they can for the best candidate they can. People like wuffah will need to tolerate well targeted revolutionary action without publicly criticizing the left.

You can have a lot of fun in a relationship with no future. But you can’t have fun in a relationship with no future when you want there to be a future.

You can either enjoy this relationship for what it is, or find a relationship that meets your needs!

That’s not what the devil looks like in South Park damn it!

Hey. No being John Malkovich!

Porn isn’t something with a victim, it’s something a person gets off to. Sexual abuse material is a picture with an abuse victim whether or not someone is getting off to it, because that’s not the part that matters. It’s not porn because the fact someone gets off to this picture isn’t the important thing about it.

That’s like if you called someone a cannibal was eating “human meat” … Like no, meat is meant to be eaten as food, this is the “murdered remains of a person”.

I don’t even know if you’re being serious at this point. The distinction should be pretty clear.

It’s not about consent. Porn in its usual context is sexual media people use to get off. With CSAM the main subject is children getting abused, the fact that pedophiles use it to get off is a secondary consideration.

The victim should take precedence in nomenclature.

When it comes to stories about Trump, any evidence that he’s being portrayed as anything but a child raping felon implies that the story is purposefully biased to help him.

No reasonable person would hold a differing opinion.

Now whether I give those same people the benefit of the doubt concerning non-Trump matters is a different story.

Reverse Hanlon’s razor applies to Trump and has a transferable property regarding anything related to Trump to at least 1-2 connections.

I know we’re all programmed to give people the benefit of the doubt. To try to find sense in any situation. To use Hanlon’s razor.

When it comes to Trump, please stop. He doesn’t deserve this excess of leniency. He’s a child rapist and murderer running the country. Do not try to find sense when there is nothing but cruelty and abuse. It makes a lot more sense when confronted by evidence of cruelty and malice at such a staggering scale to use a reverse Hanlon’s razor with Trump.

They’re called women to purposefully obfuscate the fact Trump beat and raped a little girl. One of many.

It’s not. They may have the same goals but one side is MUCH FASTER … I suppose the main question is “are you an accelerationist?” Or would you rather bad things happen more slowly and infrequently?
