I like trees but I resent the one specific tree that didn't kill him
But I am very offended by talking about not funding ukrainian neo nazis as a fifth generation Ukrainian-American immigrant, have you considered this?
Also I have never been to Ukraine. Also also Ukrainians are POC and it is racist to make fun of them.
I literally saw the last take on twitter and I momentarily wanted to build a mail bomb.
everyone dogpiled and bullied them right? right?
edit: the thread was DMed to me and I’m reading it. This is embarrassing.
edit 2: they admit they were wrong in post comments. they should not be bullied now but their discomfort with the civil war is not a reason to not talk about ukraine or the fash government.
it was like 130 upvotes. i saw the slavs are poc comment in the thread and as a czech i find that shit so hilarious. i look like some sort of poster girl for the ideal white tradwife and you think im being racially discriminated against cause my last name is vaguely slavic? get a grip
like eastern europe as a whole has been fucked over historically with some racial shit added on top, but it was always about the economics with racism tagged on. a slav in america that speaks fluent english will be under everyones radar, even more so if you just change your last name
i saw the slavs are poc comment in the thread and as a czech i find that shit so hilarious
the person who commented that was either a troll or an idiot, but either way that take was racist. slavs are crackers in America. At most I get vodka and communism jokes when I’m in the US and I have an accent.
I just rage posted in there for a half hour and I’m done. Fucking disgusting.
It’s good the mods didn’t respond.
I made a comment that it must have been a bit, but after reading the supportive comments in the thread, I deleted because I didn't want to deal with it. Maybe I shouldn't have.
The post literally ends with
Edit: I’m sorry for not including I’m not living in Ukraine but my family came to the US as refugees.
Like how is that not a bit?
Funny, this particular string of comments is reminding me of why I stopped posting.
What upsets you? Someone actually from a country not wanting a third generation American to speak for them?
What upsets me is that no one here seems to understand that your cruelty begets cruelty and that you are fundamentally indecent to one another.
Indecent to whom, Nazis?
Being cruel to whom, Nazis?
I am so confused by your comment. What are you even trying to say? Who are you referring to?
If you're talking about the OP of that thread, they deserve the shit that they got. An American pretending to be someone from a foreign country to elevate their opinion is not okay.
If you're talking about the Ukrainians, literally no one is wishing ill on the common people of the Ukraine. The ill-will is completely directed at the Nazis that couped the Ukraine in 2014 and persecuted and oppress minorities in the country. It's completely okay to be cruel to Nazis. They would do 10,000x worse to you if they could.
It is hard for patience because my country is being attacked by America and every other website is cheering on neonazis with American guns firing American bullets at Ukrainian people.
I will disengage now because this post is about trans rights and not Ukraine. Civility politics is privilege.
Is it? Well, I suppose that shouldn't entirely surprise me.
Bluntly, we aren't nearly important enough for someone to come here and post propaganda. The fact that you immediately see them as an enemy is a problem, and it underscores a tendency to look for enemies that I find deeply distasteful in others and even more so when I start to see it in myself.
Then you teach them. You make them better, not worse.
No, I'm not. I have no power over you or right to expect anything from you.
But I'm not going to pretend that I'm not still disappointed by having to look in the mirror and see a bit of that same unkindness in myself.
I'm sorry you feel that way. But I'm not projecting. I'm seeing my own misbehavior reflected back at me. It sucks and it hurts, but I'd rather be able to see it for what it is than remain blind to the way we are influenced by the people around us.
I'll leave you alone, now. You have the right to disengage. I'm sorry if I didn't initially respect that.
Who even are you? How can you have expectations for a complete stranger?
:so-true:
If I use big words like photosynthesis, I will seem smart and thus automatically correct!
I'm not going to engage with an obvious troll on a throwaway account. Go get your jollies elsewhere.
I have basic empathy for Ukrainians affected by the conflict in Ukraine (much more in fact), if that is what you mean.
The rest of your comment turns into a poem and I don’t understand it, sorry.
The left doesn't discriminate, fascists of all races and religions will get a bullet to the skull.
the crimes of this guilty land cannot be purged away but with blood :gui-trans:
We really need a trans John Brown to do John Brown things in the defence of trans rights.
The only difference is that now they're dancing in the end-zone while they do it.
tbf fair, Iran was better on trans rights than the US before this, too.
Cw
I got attacked a few months ago for being trans (ran up to me standing in front of store with groceries waiting for car), beat the two tryna kill me, one ran immediately into a cop car from me all blind from mace. Both got off, no charges obviously, prob not even the night in jail. I keep getting the bill for the 10 dollar ibuprofen and 200 visit I got from the hospital (was told there was a victims fund that doesnt exist and I needed to go to get records). Ofc they wouldn't help with the realdamage
Mostly unrelated just :agony-deep:
So be armed, but dont carry what you dont want used on you. (A knife if you dont want them taking it and stabing you). I use mace and it has saved me. I also have a gun but I dont take it anywhere because I've been attacked many times and don't wanna kill anyone. Also know you're more likely to get jumped for carrying a gun, as that gun is very expensive likely and an easy steal if they get close w/o you reacting
Too many emojis. Just wanted to find a hug emoji… I guess ❤️ will have to suffice
Use this as a radicalising point for anyone you know. Point out the complete lack of response from the Democrats as a reason they do not actually care whether you live or die and that support should be withdrawn from people who passively want you dead rather than actively wanting you dead.
Liberals are the vanguard of fascism.
This is astonishingly evil. Like undisguised fascism, start of pogrom level evil.
And of course they're using a case from here in the UK (even if it was later struck down) as precedent. US fash groups push anti-trans hate here in the UK and then we go ahead and amplify and experiment with codifying it in law, only for the US to then use us as the example to justify it there. It's a sick fucking cycle and both countries need to be [removed] :ukkk: :amerikkka:
actionable threat of violent death to republican governor of Texas greg abbott
Trans child: I consent
Parent: I consent
Greg Abbott: I don't
Is there someone you forgot to ask?
Greg Abbott should be made to fear stepping out of his windowless bunker.
This is unimaginable cruelty and will lead to trauma kids will never forget. Fuck this horrible country
:amerikkka:
and a special :gui-trans: for Greg Abbott
A three second search taught me that it in alot of china it is illegal for children to transition.
A doinkeydunk of bleh teaches that yeah it's a meme but people sometimes unironically believe it.
I really don't think anyone would read that and think it implied there was any chance president Xi was going to fly over here and personally liberate the trans youth of Texas.
