    I edited the comment five minutes after I posted it by the way, I didn't mean to be misleading. I wasn't trying to build an argument about performance or visibility of sexuality. These are people identifying as straight as well as being visibly straight.

    Yeah, but you're going to tell me cisgender people who identify as straight and view exclusively the opposite sex as potential partners are LGBT? That queerness encompasses a difference in degree of sexuality without any transgression in the realm of gender?







  • Well, actually the outlook is pretty bad. The bosses got the NLRB to determine that even though it's communication in the workplace, you do NOT have the right to perform concerted activity relating to job conditions, exploitation, etc over the email system. They can just ban you from speaking about this supposedly legally protected class of subjects. So that makes things a lot tougher, especially because it's harder to convince someone of something over the internet, without the benefit of body language.

    It's probably more anti-Eastern European than anything. There's a whole genre of white people who are super-racist and hate slavic peoples. Many of these are in the White House and Nato right now.




  • There's a very nascent movement online, seemingly parallel to anti-vaxxers but very much distinct from what I've seen. They appear to gravitate around pushing the government for cures. But they've correctly identified the forecasting and collaboration between the Feds and the Pharm on dragging this out into a blank check built on burned bodies. The allure of infinite booster shots made the bosses cream, and they figured people are already dying, it's not so bad if they wait for it to mutate in the resovoirs, it's not like they're killing people, just delaying saving them in their fucking minds.




  • It's fucked up. It can happen really fast, too. Remember the American public's regard towards China dropped something like 80% in two years. When the government and its NGOs and think tanks coordinate, they play both sides. A perfectly crafted narrative with a proposition and an opposition. Only the opposition isn't as far away as it seems, and seems like it agrees very well with the proposition on much of the problem.

    I am also concerned about Muslim people and people from the middle east. Nothing's ever sure, but I've got a hunch they'll hinge it around immigration. First, the proposition will be immigrants are evil and should be killed. Then, the opposition, which you can kind of see now: not all immigrants are evil, some assimilate into a white western way of living! Then, when atrocities begin, opposition is already weak because it's a weak position, and can be cornered into either defending "the bad Muslims" which they already hate, or deciding that the victims must be "bad Muslims" all along. The very human bias toward believing you're always on the right side will push people toward the latter. Of course, I don't know anything special and I'm just speculating.
