Non-binary bisexual libertarian socialist wokescold. Pride, feminism, BLM, socialism etc are all cool. Any criticism I make of liberalism is from a leftist perspective. Do not DM me. I can't respond. FREE PALESTINE BlueSky must be trialed.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

a sad wrinkled person says, "The world is a cruel and uniust place There is no harmony in the universe. The only constant is suffering." then minutes later looks up blushing and crying, saying "OMG, Chiitan" and looking at the quoted post (which reads "please love yourself as you are. the one that can cherish you the most is yourself. because that is your strength and beauty. Chiitan loves you" above a picture of Chiitan holding a pink heart-shaped balloon.)

The messaging of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is too radical, which is off-putting for moderates like myself. Instead of abolishing the empire entirely, Luke should've become a good stormtrooper and reformed the empire from the inside.

"tax the rich" is so horribly insufficient. Abolish the rich, the entire capitalistic system is the absolute minimum.

Exactly. He's capitulating to liberals already. I wonder what he'll be like in a few years' time.

Zohran Mamdani sounds more and more like Bernie Sanders and AOC by the day. No, that isn't a compliment.

No, I do not love America. That's like saying that I love the republicans. Trump is not a fake republican, and we do not need "real" republicans. Likewise, Trump is not anti-american, and we do not need "real" patriots.

Amethyst (they/them) @amethystcrystals.bsky.social · 1h

Liberals are always talking about "real patriotism" and appealing to "real conservatives".

If the word MAGA becomes normalised long-term, libs will eventually be talking about appealing to real "MAGA" supporters.

What's next? "No, Putin — Zelensky doesn't hate Russia! He loves Russia!" "No, Netanyahu — Pro-palestine isn't a hate Israel rally! It's a love Israel rally!"

This can only be rationalised with America because liberals can't comprehend the idea of their precious USA being a terrible country.

3) you're a crusty centrist like your name suggests. centrists are idiots.

The strangest thing is that one comment that's like "Gavin Newsom's cool, but let's not do this cult of personality stuff".

The only reason they like him at all is because of his cult of personality. They just don't want it *looking* like a cult of personality.

Amethyst (they/them) @amethystcrystals.bsky.social · 11h

If it is, it's because of leftists, and then liberals will take credit for it.

Israel refuses to release pediatrician Hussam Abu Safiya whom Israel suspects of treating Palestinian children Israeli forces tried to exterminate

t.me/MiddleEastEy...

Israel has said it will not release two detained Palestinian doctors, including paediatrician Hussam Abu Safiya, as part of the ceasefire deal, a Hamas official told CNN.

Safiya was beaten and kidnapped by Israeli forces in Gaza during a raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in December last year after he refused to abandon patients under siege.

Footage in the aftermath of the attack showed Safiya wearing a white medical overcoat crossing a street strewn with rubble.

The Israeli military said Safiya was being held as a "suspect" and being questioned over "potential involvement in terrorist activity".

Safiya has been held since then without charge

There is nothing "strategic" about throwing trans people under the bus. It is only ever motivated by a lack of backbone.

Amethyst (they/them) @amethystcrystals.bsky.social · 1d

Why couldn't @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social have taken a firm stance on trans issues like Zack Polanski did in the clip?

The Green Party is gaining more support among the left than Your Party ever had.

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 1d

Two well-known voice clips from Super Mario Sunshine are Mario saying "Aren't I done yet?!" and "There's more?!" in an exasperated way, long presumed unused. However, there is actually a way to hear them in-game, as they have a chance to play when he enters a level at low health.

The thing about people who say that it isn't possible for someone with ASPD to be a good person is that they care more about their idealistic views about what they think should be possible than about the evidence in the actual material world around them.

Amethyst (they/them) @amethystcrystals.bsky.social · 1d

The thing about seeing people use sociopath as an insult is that I've generally learned to anticipate better treatment from someone with ASPD than from a neurotypical. I don't know if it's to do with different lived experiences or what.
