When transphobes talk about gendered socialization it's indistinguishable from original sin

seeing some arguments on my tl so let me break down very quickly why gender socialization arguments for trans people are bullshit. i wasn’t “socialized female,” i learned how to do an over the top simulacrum of womanhood because i feared being punished for not being one. that’s a different thing

This is quite openly fascistic from the Labour Permanent Under Secretary for Migration and Citizenship.

let me tell you about how ready I am to talk for a half hour completely unscripted about how my SWE position is very, very similar to that of a middling Soviet bureaucrat in most of the ways that matter
when your wealth and status—which have more social reality than the human being you are— depend on exploiting labor to make profit off commodities, the only way you can relate to others is through exploitation which consumes them as a commodity. they feel no relief from hell in each other's company.

kind of insane that we got “first Muslim socialist mayor of NYC” and also “first fascist fujoshi BL-enjoyer minister of state” in the same year.

If you want people to stop being so mean about tech, have you tried not crying like a baby about it and taking it on the chin given that most people actually do have a good reason to hate what is happening even when their model of its machinations and integration into the macroeconomy is inaccurate

Negative engagement is engagement. Sometimes it’s promoting bad faith accounts and bots. Sometimes it’s just helping people like Nuzzi. But negative engagement is engagement and you don’t have to do it.

Imagine being handed this as political messaging and not using it. It just blows my mind. Beyond the incomprehensible inhumanity and evil it represents and that requires condemning, it is cynically easy politics to lambast your enemies as soulless ghouls who deport their children’s mothers.

Persistently annoyed by liberal refusal to see the longstanding system of immigration, the one that effectively places undocumented workers outside of the protections of labor law and subjects them to racial terror, as a strategy of labor discipline that affects all workers.

Some studies show that 1 in 3 women will survive DV. One of the best ways to avoid becoming a DV survivor is to avoid heteronormative coupling.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

the level of latent hostility between random people of privilege is probably a lot worse than it used to be, now that social media has replaced hobbies and the zeitgeist of economic growth is openly scammy

T/F @bitdizzy.bsky.social ?
I get that online is not a perfect substitute for real life, and the former can harm the latter, but i have no idea how loneliness is more of an issue now than it was for 1992 suburban young adults who didn't have online (shutup nerds who did)

i think a lot of what's wrong with american politics and media comes down to liberals not realizing that eric schmitt is smarter than george stephanopoulos here and that is not a joke.

if you let a man lie and BS like this to your face, you are being outsmarted; hes getting something and you arent.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support the pardon of the former Honduran president?

SCHMITT: I'm not familiar w/ the facts or circumstances

S: What do you mean you're not familiar? It's been front page news

SCHMITT: You spew Democrat talking points every single week, which is why your ratings are so bad
