adults are a class invented to oppress and control young people

Sex is feminine

Cute

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!" just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement it's 95% now you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

sexual shame is sexual abuse. we need to get rid of that fake "feminism" that is just a christian psyop

we live in a time when a man who said that Black people and women shouldn't be allowed to vote, gays should be stoned to death, and trans people should be locked up gets praised as "doing things the right way" while trans people who were a little mean online in asking to be left alone "went too far"

this is literally the conventional wisdom in nearly all political circles right now

probably need a rule six 6. Ironic performance of a behavior is training yourself to do it in earnest. Be cautious of the mind's hunger for self consistency; it will betray you and invent unironic reasons to continue behaviors started this way.

I once heard someone point out that in most cases when someone references the supposed "innocence of youth" and how it should be preserved, what they actually mean is *ignorance* -- if you prevent kids from knowing or experiencing anything, they're way easier to control. And that's the whole point.

If pleasure justifies cruelty then rape is justified.

I guess pussies aren't profane because they make babies. And cocks aren't profane because they do too. And shitting isn't profane because babies do it. Hey maybe all profanity is made up. Maybe "swear word" is an arbitrary category and once you analyze it, nothing truly belongs there. Maybe.

The word "lover" makes me uncomfortable. It's a way to desexualize sex and warp it into something else, an ideal form of intimacy in a society that demonizes sex. It's a word that suggests its own normalcy; that anyone who is regularly sexually intimate with someone is automatically their "lover".

I think it would be cool if we lived in a world in which everyone can read each other's thoughts and emotions and also understand why they are experiencing those thoughts and emotions. No one would have to hide who they are and no one could ignore the suffering they cause others.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use 2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use 3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

Reminder there are no anti-incest arguments that aren't recycled homophobia, eugenics, or "I think it's gross and that's enough justification for you to be forced into prison slavery"

Leftists be like "I don't care who you sleep with as long as it's consentual and in the privacy of the bedroom" and then dox and kill you for dating your brother

i refuse to do any calculus measuring how woke or not woke a kink is

You're talking about self proclaimed "progressives" who literally voted for a candidate who promised to continue supporting the extermination of Palestinians.

IT IS ALL CONNECTED we must fight gendered oppression, fascism, patriarchy, capitalism, white supremacy, technofascism, ableism, eugenics, christofascism, etc as one interconnected struggle to free all of us from cycles of generational abuse and authoritarian control or we end up here, again

it's literally the same exact same mindset as 'women who dress improperly are Asking For It' and yet people who correctly assess that as gross and insane still fell into the first one. Embarrassing!

Yup, the hypocrisy isn't a contradiction, it's the point. It's about being cruel.

They're not actually against minors being pressured or forced into permanently changing their bodies; they're against minors having bodily autonomy.

Unpopular opinion, but: posting real photos of people is always a privacy concern and most people have no idea what consequences this has. Imo you should never, ever, publish a photo taken of a person. Maybe of yourself if you don't care for your safety and privacy. But still of no one else.

Does pleasure justify causing cruelty to a sentient being yes or no? Answer the question instead of getting offended

If we don't do something they can easily leverage, they'll make something up, lie and say we did, or weaponize something that has nothing to do with us. That's why the respectability policing—and thinking that if everyone moves and talks just so, they won't be able to escalate—is magical thinking.

Affection is inherently sexual.

I think people who say they don't care about politics or just "aren't interested in it" shouldn't get to vote. It just makes sense. If you don't care about politics, why would you care about having voting rights?

Children need spaces whose Literal Purpose is to be somewhere they can Be Unsupervised. Where they can Exist and Be People and Not Be Supervised as they do.

they believe the phytoestrogens in any vegetables will forcefem you instantly, and yet, sex is immutable. its all about holding contradictions in your head as a test of loyalty

even if you're not jerking off you should be looking at porn, porn is art and art needs to be looked at

Being your authentic self is the opposite of deception.

My eternal crime is insisting on mentioning the elephants

What organization would this be? VirPed?

Everyone who posts porn here 100% knows that children will see it. Everyone who says "minors don't interact" knows that every minor who sees that message will have already seen porn. Nobody is "saving" children from seeing porn. All that's being done is shaming and ostracizing them for it.

They're not comfortable fully conforming to what society expects of a "man" but they still want to hold onto the word. Why? There are no men, "manhood" is a manly manicure on an unmanly thumbnail. "Man", "human", "adult", and "woman" are all socially concocted and enforced. This should be obvious.

There may be no saving this platform

Here's my feedback: Quit banning Palestinians.

By insisting on your identity as a "cis man" or "cis woman", you are actively putting trans people in danger. These categories exist as forms of oppression. There are no "cis gender" people, only people whose allegiance still lies with the patriarchal status quo and their given role therein.

We need to make the onion network bigger, Decentralize internet completely. Make it so the only way to control internet would be to completely destroy it. we need to find a way to make it mainstream and easy to use for everyone.
