gross.

I mean the whole 1972 rape fantasy essay he wrote was potentially progressive at the the time but feels quite tone-deaf and ham fisted nowadays…

Ah yes, the holy father trump goes to heaven by molesting children - how can we religious heathens bask in the same glory if our morals and care for other people prevent us from doing the same 😢

“Women are you still not sure if you want to be a woman” egg_irl much…

Is this the most fuckcars poster ever? NGL I lowkey love the implication that the only purpose of cars is to kill people 🥰

look folks, it’s the high credibility left of center genocide newspaper!

As per the graph - that IQ score goes above 150 so it doesn’t directly correlate to % of population

Interesting - as the article notes the first amendment was specifically implemented to protect unpopular view points - which is tricky because it does mean that white supremacists have the same right to voice their ideas as critical race theorists - but how do we balance that hate speech should have the same footing as voicing concerns around oppression?

even more so when those that are oppressed will have a harder time of being heard in the first place? should the law (as the 1st amendment specifically says that a view not held by society is still protected) tolerate hate and bigotry? it appears the nazi bar is guarded by the first amendment :/

Under MMT taxation is just a tool to reduce inflation - why not introduce a yearly maximum income and collect everything else above as tax to manage inflation?

Does trapping Palestinians in Gaza, advocating for the war crime of collective punishment by stopping their water and food supply in favour of bombing civilians (“not a gram of humanitarian aid, but hundreds of tons of explosives from the Air Force”) a mistake as well? What about Ben-Ari’s comments that Palestinian children have brought this upon themselves? What about when Israel directly funded Hamas to undermine more peace oriented groups like the PLO (even after they recognized Israel’s sovereignty), was that a mistake too? At what point do these “mistakes” become genocidal intent in your opinion?

So you’re saying Kamala is running off Agenda 47 - the same manifesto that promises to ban critical race theory from schools? But I agree Agenda 47 is fucked up enough that more effort should be spent in outlining why entrenching systematic racism more and more is not only morally abhorrent but also an awful long term strategy.

Slorpo you say it and see how people react… What’s right wingers obsession with slurs anyways?

damn finally got rid of that yee-yee ass haircut - and the ginger dude is also looking fresh

So people can just downvote it instead right? That’s literal direct democracy at play - if there’s more people that like the bot they’ll upvote it and it will have a positive score - saying “just bury your head in the sand if you don’t agree with this message” is the reason we’re in this political mess in the first place…

Which is why the bot is not useful - it literally tries to standardize political stances when that’s actually impossible.

Same reason I don’t trust it - imagine rating fking BBC (the literal pro-state violence, austerity supporting, anti-immigration governmental mouth piece as “left-center”)

It just distorts people’s perception of what political biases are and makes them complacent by relying on an automated bot to do the important work of using your own judgment for what constitutes as moral or justified.

By letting it platform itself on lemmy, it’s basically inserting itself as the de facto expert on the topic - so for example, people overseas might see BBC rated as left-center and highly factual and start believing that wanting to “secure your borders” is a thing that UK leftist want. Well excuse me if I don’t want a privately owned (even if open source) US company deciding what political views others should have.

Being grateful is pretty neat but make sure to reciprocate! - “Suck her clit every morning to thank her for choosing you” 🥰

So by your logic everyone that drinks coke is an unethical shill that wants to fuck over workers worldwide and hates their health. This completely disregards people that don’t know that drinking it causes any of those things - I don’t see how they’re to blame for the propaganda machine that coke’s ad department is.

Still if you do know about these things (and you seem to do) I sure hope you’re boycotting coke or otherwise you would be complicit in all the fucked up shit they get up to.

That gender is at least partially a social construct and even if you have XY chromosomes and you’ve been brought up as a woman you shouldn’t be forced to live as a man in case you do a chromosomal test and it turns out you have XY chromosomes.

Imagine the opposite - you’re an XX man with a penis and you’ve lived as a man your whole life and then you do a random chromosomal test and somebody tells you “you see I know you have a penis and I know you’re fine being a man but your chromosomes says you’re “female” so we have to chop off your dick and you have to grow titties so you can fit into the binaries we’ve established because it’s too hard for others to believe you’re a man”
