Here's a little town I drew a while back! Happy New Year folks!

"The United States is basically devolving into a fundie Christian theocracy whose conservatives are mainstreaming opposition to democracy, multiculturalism and women's independence! How could this have happened!" There is no one reason. Killing feminism is a big one. But also, "lol reddit atheism".

Fun fact: the Philippines still has adultery laws and it’s different for men and women. If you guessed it has harsher standards for women than men, you would be right.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

One of the richest ironies of the West has always been juxtaposing its rampant Islamophobia with just how much its right wing's ideal society is basically Saudi Arabia.

Fun fact: Adultery laws are primarily a thing in heavily patriarchal and explicitly theocratic nations. India only declared its adultery law illegal in 2018. It's all about retrenching notions of ownership in intimate relations, during a time of ascendat patriarchy. Shit sucks!

Got to appreciate when people present a steel man argument on why their ideology should be destroyed

It's "Just following orders" as an entire political ideology and cultural framework. Change is inevitable. Change is a necessary part of growth. Your loyalty should be to people and life, not to a procedure that can be easily weaponized against them. //

If your system enables the subjugation of people and destruction of Earth, it is a bad system. Period. It SHOULD be changed. When you link the moral goodness or efficacy of your framework to simply following the "correct" procedure, the process--rather than the outcome--determines morality. 2/4

incredibly strong argument for the end of liberal democracy

Closing out 2025 with Liberals just fully admitting that the maintenance of procedure and their specific version of democracy is more important than human rights. When we say these people are why we end up being ruled by fascists, this is what we mean. 1/4

Incredible how many liberals post about their support of trans people and then turn around and say shit like this. Fuck you. There is no right way to take away my rights, and your openness to it proves to me you are not trustworthy

I'm going to answer at risk of this being rhetorical: Conservatism is a political movement for reifying and safeguarding the traditional hierarchies as status quo, Liberalism has been the ruling ideology in America for nearly 250yrs. Liberalism is thereby within a Liberal Democracy conservative.

"maybe the bill will hurt some people" is a hell of a way to say you're fine with harming trans people as long as it's voted on. who's next, Jonny? who else should have their humanity votrd on? Black people? Jews? Muslims? Do tell...

Once again: Liberals believe the only true democracy is that which can enable fascism. If fascists cannot use it for fascist ends, it cannot be democratic to the liberal. Liberal democracy is inherently self negating.

Man i've spent the last few days being in pain and that sucks. Teeth pain should at least, probably, be done in mzybe a few weeks after i get that intervention? But i got brand new shoulder pain that comes from who knows where and i hope it goes away fast enough

Here's to unions

Frankly, I've had it up to here 🤏 with you liberals. You're MAGA but your 'holy book' is some pipe dream of a benevolent US government. You're bible bashers but you throw 'due process' at anyone who dares speak up about the policy or conduct of Dem politicians.

There are a lot of things people get wrong about trans women but "making this space welcoming to cis men will make it more welcoming to trans women!" is I think the most wrong and also most common thing that a lot of folks are maddeningly attached to.

I said chatgpt doesn't have a soul and got put on this list

A family that asks you to consider how you’re hurting them by being trans is no longer your family.

Emma Hilton is one of the leading anti-trans athlete scientists and her most used "study" claiming trans women have an inherent biological advantage does not use any data from any trans women.

This has always been what liberalism does. A thing is good so long as it passes through an institution, for the institution itself is good & all it does is justified. “The system works.” People say today “democracy is under threat from Trump”, when for many, liberal democracy has been the threat.

This “it’s impractical to avoid AI” stance is frustrating to me because no it isn’t? At least for authors who have direct control over their work. Not a single GenAI tool touched my books at any part of the creation process. I know this for a fact because I know my software and what my editor uses.

Reminder that ProleGPT will never exist

anyway, I have said this before and I will say it again, the problem with genAI is not “art theft” but wage theft and as long as people don’t see it as a labor rights issue, one company or the other will profit

like, if genAI companies pay companies that own IP to train their models, it doesn’t actually help any workers. IP is already just a mechanism of labor extraction.

IP laws will not save artists from genAI because they are made by and for corporations that exploit artists.

I think in light of disney and openai coming to an agreement to work together in the future, I remain correct in my assessment that IP laws will not be a useful framework to analyze genAI and the dangers it poses

"targeting minorities is okay as long as it's done through the proper channels" go fuck yourself

So you're complicit in the war crimes.

I hate these charts so much because they imply chatgpt is comparable to the internet or phones You could create the same graphic for full screen pop-up advertising on websites and make them look like ultra-rapid technology adoption when really they were just baked unavoidably into the internet

Stop buying their propaganda, Christianity has always been overtly cruel, Yahwee ordered and committed multiple genocides in its Bible So yeah, as far as atrocities, injustice, oppression, and hatred against "outsiders & deviants" goes, America has always aspired to be *exceptionally* Christian

Winter Wooper for a friend :)

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

The instant someone uses the terms "trans ideology", "transgenderism" or "trans activist", I view them as being potentially transphobic unless proven otherwise.

This is what I'm talking about when I saw that Liberalism is culturally Fascistic.

You've made a compelling argument for killing liberal democracy.

america loves to frame emotionally underbaked men as "complex" figures, in part bc their simplistic relationship philosophy ("I always get what I want") creates problems for us as people, but products for us as consumers. "their" complexity is really just our feelings about the resulting tension.

but Democrats are like “have you considered that some of them throw nickels at my face while they give golden fetishes to President Grandpa so they can build the Torment Nexus??? You can’t turn down a source of funding like that”

AI is massively unpopular, broadly seen as unhelpful, constantly misused for things like making child porn or racist agitprop, expensive, turbocharging inequality, enriching very few already-wealthy people, gaslighting the elderly, stealing intellectual property, spawning a scam renaissance,

"Indie game designers think their friends are all idiots and need to be browbeaten into following the golden path" I just need you to stop saying odd shit

The way some people treat any attempt at game design like it's an attempt to foist an abusive relationship onto your friend group is easily more dysfunctional than any game's incentive structures have ever been

www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/c... Lab error, even unintentional due to a software bug, is orders of magnitude more common than an actual false match. And it is *very* hard to actually bring up lab errors except years later when the damage has already been done

Like, even actual forensic science, not one that is literally entirely made up, can't be fully trusted. One person managed to use real forensic science, deliberately misused, to fuck over countless people www.cpr.org/2024/11/14/c...

Think of all the copaganda you've consumed, telling you how airtight a case DNA testing is, and then think about how hard it is in reality for laboratory and collection error rates to actually be bought up in court. Again, one forensic scientist put her thumb on *thousands* of cases.

A Colorado forensic scientist faked hundreds of DNA tests over decades. Literally such as putting the suspect's DNA in both the sample slot and the suspect's slot: voila, it is a match, the odds are astronomical that it'd be a false match. 3,000 cases at least, she fucked with.

DNA evidence is *very* extremely conclusive. There is a problem though: even though the odds of a false match are like one in a billion, laboratory error is not. It is illegal to mention this. www.cnn.com/2024/03/09/u...
