I really don't think the thing people do where they start trying to relitigate jewish history and identity whenever there's a flare-up in the I/P conflict actually helps Palestinians but that's just me
The rejection of sex positive feminism by certain parts of the left has come with the gradual reintroduction of swerfism and, I'd argue even, terfism and anti-queer positions in left circles.
Abusive men exist without your caricatures of sex positivity, they still find space in sex negative circles just fine. Finer even considering the willingness to tolerate certain deeply patriarchal attitudes that comes with puritanism.
@KatyMontgomerie
tbf the few actual lesbians involved in this nonsense have always been the same old clique of separatists who felt more solidarity for political lesbians than for any actual queer grouping

Randomly looking up another british industry's death stats: welsh coal mining's had over 35k deaths since the 19th century so nearly 20 times that in 200 years

He's just trying to admit he voted for bush at least 1 out of 4 times and trying to wriggle out of it by pretending he's like 100 years old

The people trying to define what they mean by JRPG are definitely kinda making his point with all the fundamentally contradictory replies - including some that would clearly include multiple wrpgs
Recently learning WEB Dubois had a pro-Japanese empire phase killed the last shred of willingness I have to entertain nationalism as having even mild liberatory potential I think

The chocolate announcement at the start of the book always came off as a jab at wartime rationing specifically in ways that feel too obvious to miss
15 years ago it was a common conservative talking point that the world would be better off if they nuked "the middle east" and pushes to ban gay marriage in the US at the constitutional level were the political mainstream

Also a reminder that the US hoarding vaccines is the main reason Mexico is going to Russia in the first place so the whole "we're getting picky about which vaccine" shit americans are doing is frankly stupid

The only "bi" slur you managed to reference is intra-community bullshit that originates from cis lesbian separatists so congrats on playing yourself

How do you even read a statement that's basically "I'm stuck in Russia because half the world's countries would ship me to a US blacksite" as pro-Russia lmao

Hell, the welsh were christianized during the Roman empire and most of the local princely families kept a founding ancestor who was very clearly Belenus in the family genealogies

If Simone Weil, the catholic mystic, could work with a man who thought all spanish churches should be burned down, I think you can live with people not opening a socialist org meeting with a christian prayer

Also Morocco has actual history, the country has broken up and reunited multiple times but the concept has been around and it follows the mediterranean pattern of being roughly an old roman province turned country
@realMaalouf
So, in general, it's correct to say that in Islamic civilization, both in theory and in practice, non-Muslims living under Muslim rule were called dhimmis and were lower in status than Muslims. But all they had to do to become part of this elite was say "There is no god but God
Anyway since american pundits seem very dedicated to making the french protests strictly about retirement age - protests just forced the Macron government to put on hold (at least temporarily) his plans to reinstate conscription
@BriannaWu
Oh sure. Sorry, previous tweet was unclear, but was responding to the French losing their minds over a relatively small increase in the retirement age.

There's a fair subset of the "raise the age of consent to just a year older than I am" who are doing this because they don't want to admit they're adults

Some might even become given names (incidentally one of my favorite kind of cultural shifts during revolutions is revolutionary fad names)
The increasingly loud public acceptance of the Vietnam stab-in-the-back narrative combined with the rehabilitation of the war has been going on for years and it's been coming hand in hand with creeping fascism the whole time

I love the social modernity of approving gay marriage as I demand homeless queers be removed from the premises for hurting property values

I'm just saying, if one of the plumbers I hired was threatening to wreck my plumbing, I would simply not give him important committee appointments and reelection money
The terrifying thing about the "everything vaguely queer and/or sexual is grooming" thing is that it's basically catnip for bipartisan (i.e. fascist) legislation almost to the same extent as making everything related to sex work "trafficking"

Don Bluth's career being bookended by a movie about how the russian revolution was the result of an evil supernatural force against the saintly tsar and a movie about a family that literally fled said tsar's regime is a hell of a thing

Enthusiastic consent came out of sexpos feminism.
The swedish model doesn't work and is actually used as a tool of control against women. It's strictly peddled by bourgie feminist orgs who still cling to the idea that their precious gentrification project will one day work.

Regarding film discourse: blowing a billion on a massive epic series that requires a small country's population's worth of extras is something the soviet film industry would totally have done by now if the USSR was still around
@metricalfoot
It's like when people cannot conceive of any other reason people in the Balkans could still hold a grudge against Turkey other than american-style racism
The IRS will fuck up left orgs with a budget of like 20k if there was one misplaced penny in the books so the idea that a long-running bail fund is running away with the money seems a bit far-fetched for now

Astrology was well regarded primarily by learned men, in masculine spaces, masculine academies, and was only relegated to the female sphere when it became merely equivalent to treating a cold by bleeding the patient.

Robespierre's direct role in the terror is heavily contested by serious historians especially compared to the people who conspired to take him out, most of whom had significant body counts, also the french terror killed fewer people than the repression of even one irish revolt

the resulting Canada would have a permanent tory supermajority thanks to dem thinking even the notoriously right wing libs are commies lmao
Not only is it not possible to set solid borders around specific queer identities, the idea that you can decouple the complexities of gender and sexuality is also nonsense in the broad lines - and it's absolutely a thing the right counts on
