Hate is no basis for your core identity. It can only destroy you. Just look at Trump. His core is made of hate and bitterness.
Love and openness is the only way

They don’t see trans men as a threat. I think some men feel scared by the idea of being attracted to trans women. I don’t get it at all- attraction is attraction surely? But they are full of hang ups

The mind games are awful though. What you have been through is tough - you must be so strong.

Conversion therapy and death threats- that is horrific. I am so sorry.
My mum is not as bad as that, we are just unable to have a relationship that works.
I didn’t tell my kid, they overheard a video call (our last) - I’d come out as NB to my mum the previous day. It did not go well.

Wow that is very heavy. It’s so sad you haven’t had her support through your transition. I hope your brother is strong enough to avoid the manipulation as well.
Eye of Sauron is so perfect, how apt.
Having kids is just one path of many.
My kid doesn’t like my mum after what they have observed.

The original photo needs no doctoring to tell you about the power balance between them - Putin is open, relaxed and confident and Trump is a meek and scolded child.

… some crazy new insight. And also made me determined to make my relationship with my kid entirely different

That’s awful. I hope you are able to draw a line and not get sucked in too much. Sometimes I feel like the best decision I ever made was moving across the country when I was 19 and not going back, although I don’t think she ever forgave me for that. Do you have kids?cos I felt like that gave me

You are speaking for me at this point. It’s uncanny. My kid says I am too forgiving
The thing is my mum is in her 70s now, I don’t want something to happen and for our relationship to be like this but I also can’t pretend the way she manipulates me is ok. Noone has ever made me as anxious. It sucks

I feel like you’re describing my exact situation. Sorry you’re going through it too. Realising you have reached your limit is a good thing though, there is only so much you can absorb

It’s hard to deal with a parent who has a pathological aversion to admitting they have ever been wrong. Where do you even go from there? Best of luck with it all

He’s had everything required to provide him and his family with everything they could ever want, through generational wealth. And yet he is the most bitter and pathetic individual, his greed and venality have robbed him of any joy. I could feel sorry for him if he wasn’t a sociopath

Has the guy ever had to go into a shop and buy groceries with money he earned? No.
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, man of the people he ain’t

With you every time - I feel like it weakens your argument - judge on character please, it’s not like there isn’t enough material!

This is me! I have a forward facing job, having to be ‘on’ at work means I need a lot pf recharge time, I also have solitary hobbies, I often think there is something wrong with me - but if there is I’m not sure I mind

It’s almost like they’ve never read the bible properly- what the hell do Christian Nationalists think this story is about?

No, it won't. The french lady is speaking here. Last week, the ex-president was sentenced to 7 years in jail yesterday, 4 years for embezzlement and fiscal fraud. It is the french jurisdiction system, and it works. Why doesn't the UK legal system go after all the fraud committed during covid ?

I don’t know what this means but enjoyed playing a game of ‘put a comma in the sentence’, with some pleasing results

Absolutely disgusting rhetoric. With worsening climate change, we need to consider how we frame the mass migration that is being caused, not demonise those fleeing from it (or war, religious persecution etc)

To actually end the threat of fascism and corporatist power we must end neoliberalism and make it impossible for these moderate centrist to hold power again before we can take out the structures of thought and action that have given fascism the power it has today.

Exactly this. It is impossible for the lot of the average person to improve until neoliberalism is abandoned. All it has done is exacerbate inequality and lead us to the mess we are in now

Shall we try wealth taxes before we push a quarter of a million more people below the poverty line maybe?

Genocide is heartbreaking awful. I get that. With Trump you don’t just get genocide, you also get fascism and the creep towards WW3. Can you see the difference?

And if you have one, when are you having the second one (because they need a playmate)? It never ends.

They would be able to go private. Get seen quickly, get the best treatment possible. People like this live on a different planet, and have an astounding lack of empathy

Wealth tax? Taxing corporations instead of slashing their tax? Capital gains tax?
They certainly do not need to be taking money from the poorest in society.
