annoying nitpick of the shitty youtube i was watching but the internet rape ring isn't bad because it's "gross" it's bad because it's rape

Huh. I wonder why so many transgenders like this show

the big sacrifices, and that can be discussed too) by negating the purpose she was supposedly made for, and I think that makes a statement too. Anyway, Marida was a real Newtype god dammit.

I think we're clearly meant to take note of that, right? The Cyber Newtype can and does become a "real" Newtype in terms of the radical new kind of social intercourse Newtypes are meant to represent She does it (these characters are usually she; although male Cyber Newtypes show up they don't get

Marida is an artificial copy of an artificial copy, and she's also the one who gets to psychically bring a whole battlefield of people together in the spirit of peace and understanding after her death, the thing Newtypes are supposed to do that we're told Cyber Newtypes, made only for war, can't do

"rape of men is only ever played for laughs" what world do you live in where rape of women isn't also often played for laughs

YouTube is lucrative for the reasons every newly emergent field of capital accumulation is especially lucrative-- the state has not yet been forced to acknowledge the workers employed there as human subjects with interests to protect. Systemic misogyny is a rational mechanism for max exploitation

Googled "is a higgs boson a graviton" and got a nice physics for dummies blog that said "you're a fucking idiot bitch who doesn't know how gravity works"

Sometimes you need to jack off while a woman multiple years younger than you kneels on top of you calling you a slut and a pathetic whore and a stupid cunt

the answer is no; the white bitch got too depressed thinking about lost relationships and she doesn't let herself drink if it's not genuinely because she's having fun otherwise she might develop a problem

the models to look to for a liberatory movement against imperialist monopoly capital and state power, and the class that owns it and wields it against us, are the genuine revolutionary movements of workers and peasants in the colonized world, led by Communist Parties like the CPP and CPI(Maoist)

like genuinely what is the difference between an "overseas special economic zone" and a colonial concession system. in either case a complicit local comprador-bourgeois state in a poorer and less developed country is strongarmed into handing over economic management over specific areas where the

can a white bitch get a little freaky with some sake after cumming twice to yucky brother/sister smut

[comparing Chinese economic policy post-Deng, Jiang, and Xi to Lenin's Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism] nah bro this is totally socialism idek what else it could possibly be

Their primitive Lolcow Drama; our sophisticated YouTube Documentary

I was on a bdsm advice subreddit asking questions about recovery for bruises on my tits and every post by a straight woman is "my boyfriend did [the most horrifying shit imaginable] am I overreacting?"

Only women should be allowed to have kinks

TMA is when you start having to apologize for speaking your mind in public

Here's the worst thing about that contrapoints "they don't want power; they want to endlessly critique power" meme-- the average online "leftist" doesn't even want that. You don't want critique you want insipid moral vindication. Critique is harder

There's a sense in which multiply oppressed women are demanded to care less about their oppression as women than on any other access. If you're oppressed as a woman AND a farm worker, you better shut up for the sake of farm workers' liberation, Ana Murguia was told. If you're oppressed as a woman

Virtue habituation cannot be by rote practice alone. This is how "good deeds" are used to launder a filthy character, making it impervious to critique but not changing it (Cesar Chavez; bourgeois philanthropy).

The problem is "The Left" doesn't view rape as politics. A woman being wrong about national liberation is a political issue we should all have a Take on (a transmisogynistic take is fine) but a man making rape threats on stream with a rapist is interpersonal drama

Migrant paid starvation wages: I don't care for the small family farmer who knows he can pay me illegal rates and pocket the surplus because I don't have papers First world "Marxist-Leninist": you're not the real working class. The real proletariat is a white farm owning family who live in my head

There's so many guys in this world who are doing a 17th century from first principles metaphysics treatise in a little notebook they never show anybody like, between shifts at the call center. That's so beautiful

watchin a movie with friends drinking what i call a Vendetta which is iced tea lime juice sprite and tequila

Trans woman who sells her labour-power to a capitalist who exploits her as her only means of survival: I would like to be safe from discrimination at work First world "Marxist-Leninist": you're not the real working class. The real working class is a white hetero 50s family who live in my head

The revolution should do to wes streeting what happened to Caesar. Every tran in Britain gets one stab

(i should not here that i think a lot of people see government policies trying to control reproduction as abusive *because* they interfere with the "natural" family, when in fact most of their worse abuse is just trying to reproduce the said supposedly natural family in values and hierarchy)

Destroying the current working conditions of the labour entailed in reproduction of human life in the context of patriarchy and private property, however, is something any serious feminist or Communist should want

"i'm not enough of a woman for my shitty experiences to count as misogyny" is in fact misogyny, of the internalized kind

if you're a newly out trans girl don't make yourself close off your empathy or solidarity for other girls' experiences because you feel like you're 'not enough of a woman yet' and you must be mistaken that you can understand or relate. you're as much of a woman as you're brave enough to be right now

Objectifying something and making its role as your object central to your subjective self-concept makes you profoundly vulnerable to the ontological threat of it turning out to also have a subjectivity that falsifies or negates its role in yours.

i just want to make it clear that the financial cushion i have is the only reason i haven't disappeared and many in my position just detransition or die and never get to defend themselves

"Just as the words 'dyke,' 'fag,' 'queer,' 'slut,' and 'whore' have been reclaimed, respectively... words like 'creature,' 'monster,' and 'unnatural' need to be reclaimed by the transgendered." -Susan Stryker ( @susanstryker.bsky.social, I think?)

Genuinely I will never ever ever get over the public group character assassination of Ava Tyson. All claims cleared by independent investigation. That should be the only part of that story anyone cares about and it's the part NOBODY knows

first worlders: ideas like "progressive" and "modern" don't apply to an anti-western lens. every genuine revolutionary movement of colonized workers and peasants against imperialist capital: modernized national production and progressive national culture are cornerstones of our programme

first world people have this delusion that decolonization means you burn all the factories and go back to subsistence farming. every credible anti-imperialist revolutionary movement will tell you decolonization includes taking over and owning and using the factory. factories make good stuff.

the latest tumblr tmefash fad, insistently denying there is no possible difference of privilege worth describing between someone who might die in a us bomb raid tomorrow and someone who definitely won't, is one of the stupidest ones yet

To me Gigi is alienation. Having a perspective and a stake in politics and military conflict but being powerless to act.

little thread about gigi andalucia and what she represents to me and how i like her as a character--

I find it interesting that Beauvoir theorized that targeted urination was one of the ways male children are taught to view the world as an assortment of objects they can subjugate & destroy, & that Jimmy Savile wrote in his memoir how much he liked peeing on stuff he wasn't supposed to as a child

Colonization in the Caribbean was the quench in which the hot steel of Anglo patriarchal capitalism was forged into the violent shape it would take and hold.

For embodying the collective self-emancipating social and forceful power of a toiling class against its exploiters, the Marroon communities of the Caribbean and especially Jamaica ought to be seen as cousins and ancestors to the Commune of 1871, Marx's theorization of the proletarian revolutionary

It's kind of bewildering that early 20th c. Southern US politics treats black suffrage, woman suffrage, and alcohol prohibition as basically synonymous terrors, until you realize what's common to all three is challenging the property right of white planter-bourgeoisie to own the lives of others

Hathaway is like the oldest a Gundam protagonist has ever been huh

A mother is a friend whose cock is bigger than yours

People say like, "I'm probably a they/them but I'm too busy having a job"... fuck off. Being the kind of trans you can't just put away when inconvenient is not a uniquely bourgeois fancy; on the contrary, it marks you for especially acute oppression and exploitation within the working class.

bsky.app/profile/croi... i'm tapping my sign again. trans women's issues need to be treated as working class issues. the majority of trans women in capitalism form a subaltern dispossessed section of the proletariat with material interests continually frustrated by the transmisogyny of capital
