also like, all these examples are bullshit and in no way get us closer to liberation
burning a white supremacists car might feel nice and might inconvenience them, but how does an individual act like that accomplish anything longterm? this is so focused on rampant individualism

like I am not against the general idea that being involved in a radical project requires risk but the way this envisions that is bullshit
how the fuck does me going off hormones to prevent pharma companies getting my money accomplish literally anything but fucking up my life?

and by theory I mean everything from Lenin's State and Revolution to modern stuff like Trans Femme Futures (I can't hype this book enough)

yes girl it's a vibe. I will say, to me, theory is important not just to quote dead dudes, but because like you mentioned in your essay, revolution is also a cultural/mental change, not *just* restructuring political + economic forms
theory helps change our perspectives and how we relate :)

this is so embarrassing. he tries so hard to come off so deep and dark but his brain breaks at the simplest questions
absolutely amazing to answer "would you lie to protect your Jewish neighbors during the Holocaust" with "I would never put myself in that situation" what? helping neighbors?

absolutely disgusting! and the judge will take his word, after an hour of knowing me, over records and letters from providers who have been treating me for a decade!

it's dumb, simplistic, and heavily relies on centrist notions of "middle ground, balanced perspectives" when the reality is that the real "conflict" (read ethnic cleansing) this is inspired by gets nuance policed to absurdity.
this issue has had a clear perpetrator since the Nakba. Free Palestine

was talking on the phone with my conservative dad this morning and accidentally let a "fuck" slip and he acted like a nuke went off, meanwhile we are on year 4 of him being transphobic as hell every time I see him lol

I'm sorry I didn't give you a fucking exact date of the labor movements of the late 19th century and early 20th but I figured people would not be so dense

also while the tone can fit very well with batman, Nolan didn't then try to use that tone with characters it doesn't suit very well
not saying grimdark like superman can't work just that it's a lot harder to pull off than with batman

not my fault you made a disingenuous comic painting people who disagree with you as something they're not 🤷♀️

obv if someone's levels are good take whatever works but I think there is some truth to some doctors not being well informed on our healthcare and being wildly over cautious due to lack of knowledge
that was my experience till I switched to a clinic where the Dr specialized in trans health

I'm seeing a lot of posts getting mad at us injection girlies for talking about the pros of injections but I've yet to see any post being like "if you're not on injections you're doing it wrong"
is that like an actual thing out there ive missed or are yall just upset abt ppl liking injections

no I didn't say that, but the meme uses psychopath as a pejorative and implies that with its use
if anything using psychopath as an insult furthers stigmatization of the mentally ill, I was addressing how it is used in the meme, which is to label bad people as broken or not like the rest of us

alright, like I said at the beginning I was not trying to insult you
understanding why our enemies are the way they are is important to figuring out how to beat them and not ending up repeating their mistakes

lol marxism is about understanding the material and ideological reasons why these things happen not just saying bad guys evil and leaving it there
there's reasons people get the way they are and it can't just be summed up as "they're fundamentally evil"

it's not about humanizing it's about understanding the material conditions that led them to be that way rather than just blaming it on mental illness

anti-social personality disorder is a specific mental illness, a pretty uncommon one at that
historically ppl who attain ungodly power & resources tend to abuse that, rather than saying they all were mentally ill it makes more sense that humans given those resources tend to be warped by it

it was a rhetorical question to point out that people who take those sorts of actions are in similar situations to that and do something regardless
