there is no fact-based evaluation that does not hold George W. Bush and Barack Obama partly responsible for where we are with Trump. For decades we let these guys extend the power of the executive and no one with power ever pushed back. We are reaping those consequences now.

I want to talk about trans suicides and 'distress'. Specifically in the context of this thread and the climate of sheer hostility that has been fostered by government policy and societal apathy towards, if not outright endorsement of, trans suffering. Many folks chalk this up to "gender distress".

[CN: discussion of suicide in quoted thread] As Ilya Maude pointed out in rhis piece, the proliferation fo "gender distress" and "gender related distress" in official documentation can be seen similarly to the historical diagnosis of "ego dystonic homosexuality" transsafety.network/posts/did-th...

As with most aspects of transmedicalisation, the psychopathologisation of trans suicide as something characteristics of us rather than a product of our difficulties within a hostile social environment serves to mask the function of power and social coercion in killing trans youth.

Transition "cures" gender dysphoria like being in a loving same sex relationship "cures" homosexuality. These things aren't fucking diseases, the suffering people experience when prevented from pursuing a life that has meaning and comfort for them is a form of violence.

The Katy Perry spaceship reminds me of when Bezos sent William Shatner into space and all the reporters asked “hey how did you feel up there?!” and Shatner was like “horror and disgust…emptiness and profound dread at the infinite gaping maw” and then the reporters had to be like haha cool! Neat!

No democrat has ever had any idea how pissed off young people are because the so-called "young people" who work for democrats are all poli-sci majors who Believe in America and assimilated themselves to US political thinking like people offering themselves up the Borg.

Worsening inequality means that, from millenials on, younger people live in utterly different realities from gentry scions in the same age cohort. So whenever a completely predictable (to anyone outside the elite) outpouring of rage happens, those in power act like it emerged from f'ing mars.

There's going to be a hack of Twitter eventually like today's 4chan one. 4chan got rekt because the code was 15+ years out of date. Twitter will definitely have the same issue growing already

the Goldberg piece really does show that these dweebs didn’t become fascists because of economic reasons or global humiliation or anything like that, they were just bored because things were so good for them. They just wanted to live in a movie but quickly found out living in a movie would suck.

counterpoint: there is no professional standards body and no qualification for being an "economist", the profession has nurtured these idiots and now has to own them. "Economist" should not be a term of respect indicating a guarantee of competence and the sooner the public learn this the better

You know why European countries are so quiet about the El Salvador situation? Because they started the normalisation of extraterritorial detention of migrants and asylum seekers, often without any due process. The UK’s Rwanda plan. Italy’s attempted plan with Albania. And some still want to do it.

for context the EU was trying to do a number of similar things during the syrian migration and when the courts told them to stop they started outsourcing the process into legal gray areas like border PMCs and making turkey keep refugees escaping syria in its borders
