  • Idk spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories lowkey exacerbates the problem. What else should money be but fake? That’s what money is. Your food and water is not being poisoned.

    What should we do, reintroduce the gold standard? Awful, impractical and counterproductive. We can hunt for a nondescript evil hooded figure pouring poison in our drinking water but we won’t find them.

    Our food is unhealthy because capitalism doesn’t reward production of healthy nutritious foods, it rewards maximizing profits and oligarchs lobby governments and design their own regulation. Banks are allowed to create money but governments refuse to because of neoliberal ideology being pushed by powerful elites. These structures are real, known and we can fight them.

    Disguising our problems as unsurmountable and untargetable evils makes us helpless. Identifying our problems specifically gives us actionable goals.

    Now the pedophile thing is true tho, so hard agree there lol




  • Is it problematic? yes. Is it evil? no.

    As long as these gender-exclusive spaces don’t preclude people from participating in wider society, it’s fine. I can live just fine knowing I’m not welcome in womens safe spaces. I think most women are okay with not being invited to the boys weekend.

    Just overall this seems like a non-issue. Where I draw the line is things like, men not letting women into certain jobs, or barring them from voting, etc. Basically if you prevent people from participating in society in some way. That has nothing to do with people wanting their own spaces.
