This was recently in the byline times, if accurate Trump isn't "going to" rig the 2028 election, he already has. Likely the midterms will see a lot of dirty tricks in blue states too. If true, this means voting won't work. Civil war & divorce likely going forward.

Imperial boomerang. Think of what the USA has done overseas in the middle east, asia and africa. That imperial logic is now targeting Europe, American citizens & immigrants in the USA. I personally think the USA needs dismantled. This is their new normal now & I don't think they can vote for change

Key point, how many would vote for it again?

The USA is heading towards a full scale civil war that will result in 4 or 5 new countries being created. The USA simply doesn't work.

The English political establishment have no higher ambition than to turn England into the United States.

And even that is neurological because conservatives have a larger right side of their amygdala making them more prone to anxiety, fear and hatred of "the other". People's brains can also become more "right wing" in shape due to their media diet.

And so we can have the conversation about biological sex, chromosomes, genitals but that's just a scientific discussion which doesn't advise politics. Emotions dictate politics and the people against trans rights aren't motivated by science they are motivated by hatred and disgust.

The key point is this, trans people aren't mentally ill or delusional. Their BNST really is that size. And given intersex people with XY chromosomes can live as women due to their BNST, their no reason, apart from bigotry, why trans women with XY chromosomes can't have a female gender identity too.
January 25, 2026 at 12:44 AM
In trans women their BNST is closer to the size of cis women than cis men, vice versa for trans men. As I've said before if my BNST was smaller I'd be either non-binary or a trans woman. If theirs was larger they'd be cis men.
January 25, 2026 at 12:44 AM
The BNST is a part of the brain with a range of functions one of which is the person's perception of their gender identity. If it has parts that don't active a person can be agender (without a gender identity).

This said, women with AIS are biologically male (because of their XY chromosomes) despite their external vulva & recognised as female because their gender identity is female. This relates to the BNST in the brain.
January 25, 2026 at 12:29 AM
I think some trans activists got excited when they heard biological sex was on a spectrum but it only applies to intersex people. Trans people aren't intersex because their gender dysphoria is caused by brain structure rather than naturally occurring difficulties with their chromosomes.

AIS is a condition where a child appears externally female because of the bodies inability to respond to androgens. Androgens normally make the body masculine but due to the inability of the body to process them the child can't enter puberty.
January 25, 2026 at 12:29 AM
Yes, but on a spectrum. The spectrum exists to include intersex people rather than trans people. Intersex people are people born with both sets of genitals or people born with hormone related conditions. For example, androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS).

This counts as talking about him.

The scene is also interesting because Morocco was being occupied by France. Casablanca is the capital of Morocco. So it's an interesting detail to have them drown out the Germans by singing the national anthem of the French colonisers rather than something Moroccan.

Tell him to bring it. Trump is a narcissist. He feeds on fear. He wants to be a lion but deep down he's a kitten afraid of rejection.

Reminding me of my favourite quotes.

"Only an atheist can be a good Christian" - Ernst Bloch

"Christianity is too important to be left to Christians" - Slavoj Žižek

One detail that should be mentioned is the biological sex of the person can be altered with hormone therapy. That's why hormone therapy exists, to bring the sex of the person more in line with their gender identity.
