There's some mild transphobia here, so be wary. It's very tame by Ovarit standards though. The whole thread is fucking hilarious. Some highlights:

Well (I know this is rambling)...what if that's us? What if we ARE living in the final days of Rome? What if humans refuse to recognize man, woman, sex, facts... What if we are among the last sane people left?

Because of course the thing that's going to kill our civilization is trans people existing.

I can't speak for other countries but I think the political state in the US is closer to communism than liberalism. Liberals used to defend free speech and political opposition. We're now living in a world where political opposition is defamed if not squashed outright. Freedom of speech is an illusion at this point. People are being fired for wrongthink. People are being censored. Huge institutions are telling lies and falsehoods and demanding the public play along. Books are being banned. Women are being dehumanized. History is being rewritten. Sorry but I'm a fatalist and this shit is a slippery slope that you can't come back from. If we continue to slide we'll end up in a communist state.

Hahahahahahaha. Ha. I just can't with this, it's so wrong on so many levels.

China will start a war while the West is crying about pronouns and then we'll have something more important to care about.

Because we gotta have "China bad" in here somewhere! Just classic.

    yeah that caught my eye too. its legitimately Obama era crypto fash rhetoric, about how letting the 'untermensch' have their way is the slippery slope towards societal collapse. you could see this exact same take online all the time in 2013-2015

      Honestly makes me wonder if there's a TERF to nazi pipeline, if there's nazis using the whole TERF thing to agitate or if they're deliberately copying agitation strategies from fascists.
