“Local leftist decides that gay people shouldn’t have human rights because gay human rights don’t comport with the social progress related to non-western societies” is my favorite example of horseshoe theory in action. Please never break containment.

It’s me. I’m the little creature.

Wat O.o

And is it social progress to you for a society to allow gay people to have civil rights?

You Jinxed us! Don’t you know any time anyone ever mentions “it”, nothing ever happens??

This is the answer I was looking for. Thank you

Can you please elaborate on how I’m licking corporate boot?

Mikey -> Handsome -> Handsome Pantsome -> Mr. Pantsome -> Pantsome -> Pants

I am begging the people who live in the states and are horrified about what is going on but feel a need to do something: please join your local mutual aid co-op or neighborhood ICE patrol.

It started with the War on Terror of the 2000s destabilizing the Middle East and leading to an influx of refugees into Europe. White supremacists naturally freaked out when they saw more than one brown person, so this started an anti-immigrant sentiment which only continued to build throughout the years. Couple that with funding from rich white supremacists and propaganda from foreign agents like Steve Bannon, and here we are.

Does anyone have a link to the non-paywalled version

What happens if this fungi comes in contact with humans full of microplastics?

I’m out of the loop. What is a 5090?

For many, joining the US military is the only way out of poverty, a path to citizenship, or a way to a higher education. Some others just are victims of propaganda, or just genuinely sadistic, but unfortunately most of the people joining the military are victims of a failed education and social security system designed to bring more troops into the meat grinder.

EDIT: Holy moly. I do not condone US imperialism at all. I am not saying that people who fall into the poverty draft get a free pass either. What I AM saying is that the US war machine is a fucked system that results in endless atrocities abroad but unfortunately will only to continue unless we dismantle the institutions that blindly draw people to the machine so that these people who would otherwise be vulnerable can wake the fuck up and turn away from it. These systems include capitalism, propaganda, imperialism, jingoism, a failed education system, etc… Chill out friends.
