i don’t see the problem with this tweet (assuming that it’s true, which feel free to correct me if it’s not)

a very cursory search shows Rage Against the War Machine is a Libertarian Party event, which means at best right-wing libertarians and more likely outright fascists who are cynically using calls for liberty to immiserate and oppress minorities. good on the PSL for attacking them.

he has been doing the maga communism grift for several years now, and recently thrown in with the “American Communist Party” along with Infrared and Midwestern Marx. literal nazbol shit

have you met many quants? a large number of them are like that, in much the same way that crypto currency people are (in fact, i think the crypto people are like that because they are poorly copying the quants).

usually the bits here are somewhat over the top, but this is a very modest proposal.

apologies for not memeing on this, but the parallel that immediately comes to mind is when Kavanaugh was getting confirmed, he said that Roe v Wade was “settled law”. she is absolutely going to enact some anti-trans bullshit.

here is a partial critique i read of whipping girl many years ago which has stuck with me Deconstructing Whipping Girl By b. binaohan

these issues that you highlight seem strongly tied to Serano’s bioessentialist understanding of gender, which (iirc) is whatever in-born tendencies that you have one way or another. once you start trying to find gender in biology, you quickly end up reproducing the biologization of gender that is the basis of modern era misogyny because gender was one of the driving ideologies that shaped the biological study in the first place.

once you make that connection, it becomes more clear where the “binary-phobia” stuff comes from. it’s literally just a reformulation of colonial era justification of eradicating native genders that the colonizers didn’t like. and to get out ahead of the obvious misreading, white non-binary people in the US/europe are not colonized. capital would just generally prefer to be able to easily sort everyone into 2 easily distinguishable categories with pre-defined social positions.

i’m so tired of libs (especially “leftists”) saying things like this are a win, or even that this is a “pretty significant shift in the status quo” (literally quoting one of them) because they might consider restricting arm transfers. another one i saw mentioned potential domestic military raids as a reason not to vote for Trump. the american left is fucking cooked. willing to vote for a genocide to save themselves is pure cowardice.

the process, in brief, goes something like this:

1. you write something (if this is the first time through this sequence for this work, it will definitely be bad. that’s ok and expected)
2. analyze that, which will reveal some significant flaws
3. figure out some ways that may help with those flaws
4. go back to step one with your improved understanding

this can be very frustrating to begin with, but after a few tries you will start to see some improvement, and maybe even something you actually like.
