My position remains that for straight cis gender people, gender roles is just extended length foreplay for fucking. Its acting. Nothing more. The moment you allow yourself to think it has importance beyond that or has implications for institutions and society at large is when things get fucked up.

Black people have always known what white people were about in this country. I’m not surprised they’re coming for birthright citizenship or that they’re snatching people off the streets, or that the bad economy isn’t stopping the power consolidation. White people want supremacy more than joy.

“They’re economically disconnected and are distracted by culture war issues”
No. They justify their economic suffering through the lens of cultural hierarchy. We’ve been doing this since poor white Southerners marched into the maw of war for wealthy slaveholders.

Yep. Ill add though there are *lots* of women with men they dont like right now. I guess its just a thing with people. I think women are more like to actually leave though. Could be wrong.

The reasoning that the Trump administration uses to kill those "drug smugglers" in the Caribbean can apply to American citizens too. Basically anyone who the president arbitrarily labels a "terrorist" or "danger to the United States".
