Um sorry sweaty, paying attention to the world around you for several years is actually a disinformation campaign.

Regarding competing ‘echo chambers’, we’ve been inoculated to liberalism because we get exposed to it on a nonstop near-daily basis in our work/social/ whatever lives and come here to gripe about that specicifically, meanwhile these libs have literally never been exposed to opinions to their left because they’re used to living in exclusively curated spaces.

also I’m not a bot I’m a vocaloid, gosh

I actually view the rainbow-washing of us foreign policy as a big part of the problem- It allows reactionaries and conservatives to express bigotry and persecute LGBT people under the guise of being “anti-imperialist” or resisting western influences.

Fuck corporate pride and rainbow raytheon shit, America has historically been extremely shitty to gay and trans people and it makes me sick even being associated with their ‘foreign policy’. Just because they ‘legalized gay marriage’ via decree 8 years ago, doesn’t mean they’ve not done real genocides in the past to LGBT people, and aren’t laying the groundwork for doing it again in the future (eg Florida).

Allies marched gay people right back into the concentration camps when they liberated them, for example:

As the Allies swept through Europe to victory over the Nazi regime in early 1945, hundreds of thousands of concentration camp prisoners were liberated. The Allied Military Government of Germany repealed countless laws and decrees. Left unchanged, however, was the 1935 Nazi revision of Paragraph 175. Under the Allied occupation, some homosexuals were forced to serve out their terms of imprisonment regardless of time served in the concentration camps. The Nazi version of Paragraph 175 remained on the books of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) until the law was revised in 1969 to decriminalize homosexual relations between men over the age of 21.

Unironically seeing the response to 196 made me feel a lot more comfortable here

We love our mandatory pronoun tags here, it’s great for rooting out transphobes who can’t resist making smartass comments too.

This. Is. An. Investment. In. Democracy.

Wow democracy defenders sure are bloodthirsty, how about we stop “investing” in the pile of bodies you’ve created in the name of a coup government that you call democracy?

And they’ve never done anything like the Great Firewall.

The great firewall is for your own protection, just look at how you guys react to a small group of users with different opinions!

Cats belong indoors, they live longer and are generally more healthy. They murder less birds that way.

This might be a cop-out, but I’m absolutely sick of paying rent, and the open source alternatives aren’t great
