  • On Reddit, I once bragged about having universal healthcare and got called a Nazi and a communist at the same time.

    This is what happens when Xbox kids that use the n-word grow up. They learn new “bad” words and throw them around out of context and contradictingly. They don’t actually know what those things are, though, so it never makes sense.

    I’ve been called a tankie here. I didn’t know what it was and looked it up, just to discover it was the literal opposite of the things I was saying. I was very confused and just put it down to frustrated self-projection. At some point they had been called that, it upset them, so now they use it to upset people too but they still don’t actually know what it is they’re saying.

    If I see someone defaulting to Russian bot or tankie, I’ve found another Xbox kid and it’s in my best interests to just move on.


  • No, they’re right. Lots of people hate the labels and being labelled as such, they just want to be seen as the normal person they are. It’s not normal to be labelled. In my experience, they are the quiet majority and they just want their sexual preferences to be out of the forefront of stranger’s minds, defining their social identity. It’s actually pretty fucking creepy and weird.

    Some people voluntarily do want the label. That’s fine, it’s their choice. It’s not fine to involuntarily assume for others, though. Respect is something that takes the back seat to narrow-minded assumptions that ironically goes against the best intentions. In a respectful society, there are no labels and people are just people. Unfortunately we are still Neanderthalic so social and political labels, categories, etc. still exist and are assigned, for no purpose and with no consent.

    Most people don’t care and want to be left alone. But there are still idiots out there that care about which toilet they can go in or which toilets others can go in. One day our society will be rid of these people and concept like LGBTQ+ will be ridden of too, because people are just people and toilets are just toilets. A person’s identity shouldn’t be defined by their genitals and what they do with them. Labels and adheration to that is just creepy and weird.

    So, yeah, many people you consider LGBTQ+ are against the whole concept of LGBTQ+ and you shouldn’t assume for them or look at them as “that thing” and slap a label on. We can be so much better than this.















  • I’m no militant pro, but you’re not really leaving yourself many options seizing a train. Something that has no escape options but forward and backward on track switches you don’t control, and it’s very easily encircled.

    But wait, there’s more…

    A senior police official said it “remains stuck just before a tunnel surrounded by mountains”

    Yep, I’d be very scared to be a hostage as it’s quite clear my life is about the only option of escape they got.



  • Well it has to. The meeting was basically watching a long-term ally say they’d turn their back on any of its friends any chance they can get. If all the US can bring to the friend group is gym bro muscles but turns out is actually a petty coward, still asking for minerals, they won’t get invited to the cool stuff anymore.

    Someone in DC still understands the content of Alliances 101 and has explained it.
