  • Transphobia, can’t recall exactly what. I think he’d be redeemable if someone had a conversation with him about it

    Given his history being blackballed from academia for his views on Palestine, he’s been sensitive to cancel culture in general and has reacted poorly to some issues that people get cancelled for now

    It’s not an excuse, but given how he’s sacrificed his entire life to the Palestinian cause at the expense of having a wider exposure to today’s issues I think there’s still a place for him on the left

    Ah yes, vote them out by voting for what candidates? People that use the same rhetoric you’re using also deploy it in “electability pragmatism” during primaries to cull any further left candidates because it “will alienate moderates” in generals. Then you do this stupid shit of eating a turd sandwich and saying next time you’re definitely going to get what you ordered without doing anything different. And that’s all assuming any alternatives aren’t immediately torpedoed by incredible spending differences due to corporate and party backing

    Maybe if any of you harm reducing fools grew a backbone and had some principles on who you’ll vote for we wouldn’t have to think about when that will happen in the US. Watching the Dems slide further and further right while saying they’re better than Republicans is not helping anyone, especially future Americans



  • I’m not saying to stop trying, moreso that the effort needs to be directed at a more productive area like security in these venues. My city scene has plenty of stories of security not caring at all when women complain about bad actors before things have escalated further

    The sea of phones at concerts sucks, not to mention people filming and making fun of strangers having a good, weird time. Again, this isn’t saying these issues are more important than assaults, but that phone control policies only seem to impact one end of the spectrum.
