Similarly, bacon was considered sub-par and unhealthy meat by most people. But then the pork industry rebranded bacon as a tasty strip of crispy meat, rather than a slab of fat that you have to figure out yourself. Same basic principle as above. www.dakoa.com/bacon-truth/

You can't focus on capitalism to the degree you neglect patriarchy, yet you can't focus on patriarchy to the degree you neglect capital. The combined thesis hits home with both and was part of the more grande scheme of how I view this, I just didn't feel like making a whole thread yesterday

I don't think either thesis is at all opposed, rather they work together pretty well. Who was in charge of the mass marketing? Men, and those powerful men who at the time were very commonly and outwardly pedophilic as a men's traditional for many centuries, who forced their ideas onto everyone else

I prefer the thesis that beauty standards are informed by mass marketing and capital's need to make a profit at all times in all places. I heard that women shaving their limbs wasn't that common until the 1920's, just a decade after the invention of the home safety razor for mass consumption.

If your goal is speaking truth to power go after the power, the perpetrators of pedophilia are 99.9% straight cis men who are hard wired by beauty standards to be pedophiles. Ex: Hairless women & fem standard, high school/ teen drama obsession, open manosphere talking points of lusting after girls

It's a daily thing for fascists to accuse Queer people, especially TransFems of being pedos, even worse is that these habits have infected the minds of so called Leftists, Communists, Anarchists, and many of y'all are out here doing the bidding of the fascists and aiding in trans genocide!!!

you do not, in fact, have to lay down and say "WELL I GUESS WE HAVE TO LET FASCISTS WIN, ITS THEIR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH I GUESS"

every successful method of fighting against fascism is in one way or another "authoritarian". and there is nothing wrong with that. sometimes you just have to stop things with force, that's fuckin life

not to harp on this again but like, the LGBTQ community being branded pedophiles for decades should make you wonder 1. who benefits from labeling communities as pedophilic? 2. who benefits from pedophiles being seen as irredeemable monsters? 3. who benefits from pedophiles being seen as "other"?

the secret answer is that real predators benefit a LOT from pedophile rhetoric being wielded the way it is. the most dangerous predators will harp on and on and on about being anti-pedophile and then turn around and abuse children. that means the rhetoric they spew is disingenuous and dangerous.

Exactly. The performative bigot is least likely to self-reflect so it's the ideal breeding ground for abject stupidity.

And to be truly factual here, the English language has used they/them as singular pronouns since the late 14th century. It's not new. It's not difficult. And it's garbage when people intentionally act like it's some weird new thing.

Seeing a cis person performatively struggle with "They/Them" pronouns is exactly like watching an "As Seen on TV" ad where the bad actor pretends to juggle and drop something. You aren't selling it and I'm not buying it.

Hezbollah was formed to fight the 18 year Occupation of Southern Lebanon between 1982-2000 and forced their withdrawal; they will do the same thing no matter how long it takes this time

TO THE ZAPATISTA ARMY OF NATIONAL LIBERATION “Our communities are under siege, caught in the crossfire of gun battles and drone attacks, while the narco-paramilitary group advances with total impunity under the protection of the army and the federal government."

The next most viable coalition for Independent Unions to join and build upon is the New Labor organizing committee, a growing class conscious Labor formation that is more compatible than the current IWW. The media arm of which is New Labor Press. newlaborpress.org

I've been writing about this since the strike started in November. They were intended for the Liberation Caucus and our Labor Committee. The writings were never treated as a priority enough to put on our website so I'm just publishing. solid-banana-cd5.notion.site/Starbucks-St...
