That is the post
Every time someone complains about pronouns, they will be assigned an additional pronoun
I finally got unlazy and added they/them.
Get fucked nerds.
These are my she/her pronouns, there are many like it, but these ones are mine o7
I think it was literally printed on their chocolate labels for a bit there
am i the only one who can't fucking stand the word "lefty"? every time i hear it, its from someone with completely liberal values but with a radical coat of paint, like saying how much they hate american capitalism and then shitting on AES. it's just a stupid word used by stupid people
yeah it's awful lol
idk how it even happened but literally only radlibs ever use it
whenever I hear someone use it unironically, I immediately assume they're like a david pakman fan
Is this title confusing to anyone else? I mean, I’m pretty sure I get what they’re trying to say but that syntax…holy shit
It's cool, the online left lives in a cultural bubble. Not really that surprising.
There's a lot of adjectives, and a couple nouns being used as adjectives, which did make it a bit hard to read to me🤷♀️. Personally I'd have used a semicolon instead of a comma as well, but that's splitting hairs.
Confusing though? No absolutely not, just a bit of a task to parse.

Read: confusing. You love splitting hairs, be proud! Lol Don’t let anyone tell you you shouldn’t be a stickler for semicolon use
Idk, it could be the autism, but I don't see "Confusing" and "Effort needed to parse" as the same thing, I view "Confusing" as something that would be easy to misinterpret, rather than something that takes effort to interpret, for example, missing oxford commas can make a statement confusing as the lack of them can cause two subjects to appear as one in a list.
I mean, one of the definitions for confusing is:
Difficult to understand; not clear as lacking order, chaotic etc
You’re thinking of “confusing” as in confounding, or so nuanced and perplexing as to be out of reach of some people. Sentences are only difficult to parse in two ways: layered and perplexing (one kind of confusing), or broken/nearing nonsensical (the other kind of confusing). Confusing doesn’t have to mean the level of language is so high that it confuses simpler minds. It can be confusing by being so out of the ordinary and muddled that it takes some mental rearrangement to parse. My argument is this sentence falls into the latter. Still confusing. And could be a perfect example sentence for the dictionary definition I copy/pasted above.
Every time anyone complains we add another hundred mil to the Victims of Communism
Every time someone complains, the pronouns get 10 feet taller.
stop being bigots and we'll stop advocating for your deaths. it's not that hard.
Ya know, it's odd: I struggle often with the hatred, very literal hatred, I have in my heart for a certain faction of conservatives. These people would advocate for killing people that look like me, as a minority. Some of them have murdered and proclaimed, with absolute ideological sureness, that they definitely do not regret their abhorrent actions. I hate them from the bottom of my heart.
But like...what does killing people do? There's a knee-jerk answer to that questions (obviously, it removes the immediate threat), and then there's the deeper I'm answer I'm looking for.
It's easy to casually suggest that people should be killed. But even people in the military, literally trained to kill other people, come back with PTSD and deep regrets that will last their lifetimes. The experience pierces through the wool that capitalist imperialism pulls over their eyes, and that's saying something! The experience of killing is profoundly disturbing to the killer.
And, all of America is basically one big country-level study of the effects of constant gun violence on communities.
And I struggle with the very idea of killing these people who hate me as much as I hate them. What good would that do really?

You're getting the cause and effect the wrong way around. The gun violence is caused by society being a hyper-exploitative atomised hyper capitalist hellscape with no community and only pain, suffering and struggle. It's not the guns causing that, people turn to the murder suicide option because this society design fries their brain. People could do this anywhere in the world, but america is unique in having an absolutely massive problem with it, while it is also unique in being the only developed country without consumer protections, without basic amenities, without healthcare, without welfare safety nets, without care for the homeless, etc etc. It is a land without love or comradeship.
You want to solve this? Start with redesigning society. Start with redesigning the urban environment that atomises people and prevents community. Start with healthcare and safety nets. Start with making society a place for people instead of a place for the rich to exploit.
Honestly I mostly agree with you like I don't see the point in killing without purpose* and im against retributive justice and have argued that point on this site before. But for me with posts like this my reaciton is just.... "let people vent". I dont think anyone here is a real threat to kill anyone who isnt directly trying to kill them first.
*"Without purpose" is a necessary addendum here because we are revolutionaries here and revolutions will require people opposing it to die sometimes.
we'll just get the trans-hitsquad on the case.
its a venting post, you absolute dullard
