Racism is an issue. It’s also a symptom of the problem. It’s used as a tool to pit the working class against each other.

Head on over to Beattyville, Kentucky or Ironton, Ohio and tell them how privileged they are because they’re white, I’m sure that will get then on your side. Most Jobless drug addicts living in hovels. No chance for any prosperity but at least they’re “privileged.”

I guarantee if you reach out a hand and tell them you were left behind by this country too they’ll be more receptive to marching with you.

It’s a class war, always.

It’s starting to look like the oligarchs are going to replace every position they can with AI everywhere so we have no choice but to deal with its shit.

Take your own advice 😀

They’re disappearing people to El Salvador and you call me the weirdo for understanding that this is ALREADY a violent conflict.

You people aren’t ready for what’s coming. And frankly, your inability, or downright refusal, to accept where we already are in this coup, means you aren’t ready for what’s already happening.

I truly hope we all make it out the other side. Good luck.

Most successful instances of revolution included a threat, or use, of violence. IE: Blank Panthers in the US, IRA in Ireland, the citizens of Italy, etc…

Anyone who thinks non-violent revolution is possible is ignorant to the majority of human history. Is it possible? Sure, probably. Is it likely? No, far from it.

It is. What helped me was deleting my account and removing my patched boost app. Now I only browse it through mobile Firefox with ublock.

It’s annoying as shit to use, so I don’t use it often. But when I do they get nothing from me. Win-win.

Liberals will always walk lockstep with fascists to prevent progressives from ever having a voice. Happened in Germany, happened in Turkey, most recently happened in France.

Neo-liberals are the evil they claim to fight. Just with rainbow pins.

Great conversation, thank you for engaging with my points. It’d be a shame if all you did was post “gotcha’s”," then smugly smiled to yourself since you totally showed me.

I find you annoying but I’ll be out there fighting for the both of us all the same. Since we will end up in the same camp.

I genuinely mean this, you’re not prepared for what’s coming. Being a keyboard activist won’t be enough. I hope we can both make it out the other side. Good luck.

Edit: Also I said I’ve been with two men. Only had sex with one. So, fuck off?

I don’t like this sentence

I mean yeah, that would get the same point across? The specific use of the word woman makes that sexist. So your example is disingenuous. At no time did op call Schumer gay.

Leave out the woman part and it is the same joke, with the same implications, but no sexism. Much like there is no homophobia in the original joke. Understanding social norms and implications isn’t homophobic.

I have every authority to tell you what I find discriminatory. You’re welcome to tell me you feel insulted by what I say, and if we were actually in the real world I would be sure to avoid such jokes around you (if we interacted on a consistent basis). But I’m my circle, this is a nothing burger.

It’s like a Trump supporter would get offended when you make fun of Trump’s tiny hands. Should we do our best to avoid offendeding them? Or are there certain people it’s ok to offend?

Maybe we avoid making the joke because it might offended people with tiny hands? The joke works because it bothers Trump, not because there is anything with tiny hands. But hey just because some people might get upset it’s not an ok joke to use.

This is the Internet. This is a melting pot of different people. I’m not gonna tailor every joke and every response to your sensibilities, or anyone else’s. Grow up.

It’s wild. Chin up though, I’ve been to quite a lot of demonstrations this last month and it’s getting more and more promising. I even got my Joe Rogan worshipping fuck of a co-worker to attended the veterans marches last Friday, so the more sane ones are waking up.

Arm yourself. Find community. Resist.

Brother, sister, or other in the current context it’s a clear joke to show who is the “Dominant” and who is the “submissive”. If you understand current social dynamics, youd know that. Now we can have a conversation on if that’s appropriate considering the view is shaped by human histories use of rape as a weapon, especially when subjecting others, but that’s getting so unnecessarily deep. I can just understand this is a joke using modern social dynamics.

Also, I’m Bi. I’ve been with two guys throughout my years. Or do I get to have another conversation on how I’m not actually gay?

The engineers did this, Teslas just kind of do this.

Pretty sure this is a quid pro quo joke
