America is proud of you.

In the words of Woody Guthrie (about the OG version): “They say America first, but they mean America next.”

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.”

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

As one of the 6 (if you publish here), I appreciate it.

It’s wild to me that we’re not talking about how the present form marketing to children laid the groundwork for the current “gender war”. (Old article.)

Anyone want to discuss this? We’re getting closer to the heart of the problem

"Can he find a way to be something worth wanting for his own sake—a man who is wanted even despite not being needed? Until we figure out how to tell that story, the crisis of gender relations will not abate." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-crisis-o...

The Crisis of Gender Relations

We need to put the final nail in the coffin of the Patriarchal Bargain and find new ideals we can live by.

Yes.

Join a local currency or time bank. Start a cooperative. Switch your money to a credit union. Have a potluck.

The fact that monarchs who give up all their power can be a stable ceremonial part of a constitutional republic does not erase the fact that hereditary monarchy is an affront to the values of democracy. We don’t want tyrannical presidents OR kings.

Et tu, George Miller?

“It’s here to stay.”
“It’s not going anywhere.”
“Get used to it.”

Notice the robotic repetitive propaganda that tech billionaires spit into the mouths of proponents like a mother bird feeding babies is never about ethics, always about force, while pretending the force is natural not man made.

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

Liberals didn’t codify women’s bodily autonomy when they had a chance. Do they also consider the majority of the population a fringe group undeserving of protection? Why would anyone trust them for protection now?

Cecilia Nemo @cecilianemo.bsky.social · 7d

More didn’t.

Enough people did have sympathy, though, that it was taught to my generation in school as a defining political moment. You can’t get everyone on your side, but you also don’t need to.

Damn. That’s exactly it. “This hierarchy is off” is not the same as opposing oppression. Thank you.

I’m familiar with it. It in no way conflicts with the idea of social illness.

Cecilia Nemo @cecilianemo.bsky.social · 8d

The idea of social illness does not negate that they’re just people. Because unlike mental illness, social illness does not have any inborn component. It removes that separation and does not conflict with the “just people” argument.
