It looks to me like Project 2025 is a document compiling everything the Republicans have been openly wanting for decades. Democrats support a good portion of it as well, and I haven’t seen Biden doing anything meaningful to stop it, nor any sign that he intends to stop it, other than going “next term guys I promise” like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.

I often remember that 2015 poll that showed most USAmerican voters including Democrats are far more motivated by party affiliation vs. policy. It explains so much. When they see someone citing Their Guy’s actual words and actions, they’re unable to fathom that real actual humans give a fuck about these real-world issues and their consequences for other groups of people.

That’s how you get anyone to the left of Reagan labeled “tankies” and “bots,” and how I’ve been called “privileged” while watching my own family arrested and deported, and a “fascist” for saying we shouldn’t put children in cages or commit genocide no matter how many people think we should. (Real things that terminally centrist status quo warriors on .world have called me.)

I continue to be amazed at how blatantly dishonest and unhinged this man is

but even more amazed at how his supporters just nod along as if it all makes sense and that this guy represents any semblance of hope

“At last, a profit incentive!”

Bookmarked in case I ever need it, thanks!

Doesn’t it also require a phone number?

Yeah only 6 years old

This isn’t even an exaggeration

1. I’m used to Android

2. I enjoy using apps from F-Droid

Fun fact: The term “Stockholm Syndrome” was a term coined to silence a woman who criticized the bumbled police response that put her and other hostages in even more danger. She wasn’t enamored of her captors, but instead critical of the police.

I meant to say white supremacy, not white nationalism. But nationalism is a problem too.

This is a nation founded on the ideals of genocide, slavery, and white nationalism. No I do not like the US. I’d not trust anyone who does. The USA should be dissolved.

Oh I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. My instance actually disables downvotes, so I can’t see that, but there are a lot of reddit transplants here (I’m one of them), and reddit’s takes on things like feminism and women are overall not … good.

It never went away in the first place

Yes, last I checked, one of their prime hate forums r/KotakuInAction was still active, and still filled with the most pathetic little insects seething about the fact that women and minorities exist in media. Gamergate has never really ended. Most people just stopped paying attention to these fools.

Unfortunately, that’s easy for me to say, since I’m not on the receiving end of their doxxing and death threats.

I haven’t had the best life, but I just can’t fathom being such a total loser that I’d ever get that worked up over something like video games.

A society based on mutual aid :3

And also bluetooth earbuds without touch controls

Do you specifically condemn the Pope for his use of slurs?

Also, not appreciating you downplaying the fact that the Catholic church clearly believes LGBTQIA+ is a sin. This is not allyship by any stretch of the imagination.

You know it’s real easy to judge others for the sins of their fathers. How far into your family history would we need to dig to judge you for the rape or murders your forebears likely committed?

Irrelevant. I’d condemn them. There’s never been an excuse for such behavior.

I’m only judging the church and it’s shitty pope based on their actual words and actions. They’re still an active hate group in 2024.

But as for actually judging people only based on what they say

How dare we judge someone based on [checks notes] the actual words. they say???

But let’s focus on the actual things the church believes for a moment. Certainly that’s better, right? Certainly they’re… hmmm… well, yikes!

But still this is the “good pope” right? So certainly he wouldn’t… oh fuck.

Well, turns out it’s fair after all to judge him as bring a confirmed queerphobe and the catholic church as a hate group.

So with this further context I repeat: do you condemn the pope’s repeated use of an actual homophobic slur? (Not that you should require this further context, since he has no excuse for using this term as someone outside the queer community.)

So you condemn the Pope’s repeated use of a homophobic slur?
