People advocating for doing the exact same thing that made Trump viable as a candidate to begin with don't get to use Trump as a cudgel. Fuck all the way off with that nonsense.

If by "them" you mean ecocidal narcissists in their stupid pollution powered people killing machines I agree wholeheartedly.

There's no alliance to be made with the party that's decided it serves the enemy.

Wall Street is the enemy. No party that takes corporate donations at all can claim not to be serving the enemy.

Sounds like a resounding "yes" to me.

Unsurprising that ShitLibs just look at the surface of something and decide it's the same as something else because of surface similarities. They confuse billionaire owned media for unbiased sources, so it's no wonder they can't tell the tactics of siege communism from they way Fascism imports the tactics of control from the colonies by calling both things "authoritarianism".

Because without fail, every ShitLib who espoused "vote for Biden and then we can push him left" was back at brunch before the inauguration.

Well then it should be very easy to disprove the assertions made by RuSsIaN pRoPaGaNdA so go ahead and give us an actual rebuttal instead of attacking the source.

Translation: it really hurts my feelings when you point out all the factual reasons relying on a pollution powered people crusher for my personal transportation is bad for society and the environment, please stop!!

Edit: no empathy for ecocidal narcissists. Learn some basic human decency before you go asking for empathy from others.

I hope you see how this attitude is just as dumbed as someone who thinks cars are the only solution.

Nope. Bcs at worst I'm annoying some people who've embraced ecocidal narcissism. Carbraims are people who are embracing ecocidal narcissism. If you don't see the difference there, I don't think there's much hope for you.

There is also basically no public transit in my state, city or not.

And yet you still choose to live there. That's the problem.

Hard to believe if all you've known is big city privilege,

And as hard as it is to believe with terminal carbrain, I grew up in the suburbs and lived for a while in rural Appalachia before moving to "the big city". And it was a sacrifice to move here, it sucked for a few years. But now I don't have to destroy the environment to get to and from work. You should try it. When nobody is willing to stay and pay taxes in car dependent shit holes, the assholes who run them will start "footing the bill" for decent transit infrastructure. Til then, staying just means you value your convenience over a habitable planet just like every other carhole on Earth.

Get a bus pass

Why are so many people just going to stand in the path of a moving train?

Because the people driving the train have spent three generations disseminating the propaganda that doing anything about the train is bad and makes you worse than the train. And people are mostly stupid, so that's worked really well.

lol I’m not a puritan

Your comments all up and down this thread say otherwise.

Actually scratch that, just leave women alone. I know they already don’t feel comfortable around you

You don't know fuck all, but some we're making unwarranted assumptions based on social media comments, it seems to me like you probably wear black shirts with a white square collar and like little kids, which is probably why you're so grossed out by adults wanting to see other adults naked.

See how fucking stupid that kind of thing is?

Hold him accountable for what, exactly? What's gross about it? He's an adult man asking adult women to send him nudes. He's not badgering anyone, nothing about the post fetishized anyone, and he's not sending nudes unsolicited. So what's "gross"? Just the fact that a cishet dude is horny posting on main? Like, genuinely, if that's not the objection, then what is?

Uh I'm not American but I still think ASKING women for nudes is pathetic and creepy

You might not be American, but you're puritanical enough to fit right in in Salt Lake City. The only thing pathetic is being so sexist as to view sharing nudes as diminishing the woman who shared them somehow, which is the only way in which you could see it as demeaning to ask for nudes.

I only support capital punishment for making noise on public transit if a Bluetooth speaker or speakerphone is involved.

For all other forms of noisemaking, a few decades of hard labor would be sufficient punishment.

But Xi hasn't pushed the magic "Communism" button to skip all the intermediate steps and create a moneyless, classless society, so obviously this means he's just evil Redfash. Checkmate, Tankie!

/S (I wish that went without saying, but here we are)

Is there more context to this? Or have we really reached a point in secular puritans discourse where asking for nudes (as a blanket ask, even, not directed at anyone in particular) is "sexual violence"?

You think I want a sexless future because you’re being a fucking pig?

I know you're at the very least on the side of the people who want a sexless future because you think I'm a pig for saying there's nothing wrong with asking for casual/meaningless sexual activity as long as you take no for an answer and don't bother someone who's made it clear they aren't interested.

And that's all I need to know to know you're 100% wrong about this subject. Tbh, you're pretty fucking based on everything else I've ever seen you engage with on Lemmy, but you're not even in the same ballpark as right on this. Saying that any public expression of horniness by a straight dude is inherently entitled and predatory (and that's what you're doing here, whether you want to accept it or not) is reactionary AF. You're defending bourgeois sexual mores originally created to maximize the price bronze aged goat fuckers could get for selling their preteen daughters to middle aged men. There is no version of purity culture that's compatible with a world free of domination systems.

From other comments I gather he has done things that are genuinely bad, so call him out for that. Make sure everyone contemplating sending him nudes knows who they're sending them to. But don't pretend him asking for nudes is in the same category of behavior. That's not only fucked up, it's counter-revolutionary.

this is such a fucking privileged take that it hurts.

From where I'm sitting the privilege belongs to the people making zero changes to their daily lives in response to climate change. Why the fuck do think it's ok to live 25 miles from work? Why not move? Bcs it would be inconvenient, got it.

People should not live in places where a car is required. Unless they are doing jobs that have to be done outside of the city. You wanna live like a modern hermit? Ok, but you need to get a job working on a farm, in a mine, or at a logging camp.

Otherwise, move your ass to a denser area with good transit or stop pretending that anything but selfishness and a desire to avoid inconvenience motivated you to stay in suburbia.
