Tumblr @literallyaflamenot to hop in on the Hottest Discourse but: age gaps aren’t inherently bad between adults, but they are incredibly suspect in instances where one party has significantly more agency and experience due to their age. a thirty year old dating a forty year old, for instance, isn’t all that big a deal. but […]
“I’m non-violent. I can’t support that form of protest.” Then how are you squaring your support for the violence of the status quo? Not just the actual violence we choose not to count in our statistics, like robbery, theft, simple and aggravated assault, sexual assault, and murder (so long as it’s being committed by agents […]
Tumblr @lilacbreastedrollerwild how like PCOS, endometriosis, vaginismus & hell, even frequent yeast infections are “mysterious” with no well known cause and little to no decent treatment, but we have tons of supposedly well researched body fat removal methods, about 20 different kinds of breast implants, laser hair removal, and 100 different dermatologist recommended anti aging […]
One of the things that’s immediately apparent about white supremacy is that it badly hurts non-white people. Perhaps less obvious is that an effective secondary purpose is to hurt almost all white people, as well.

There is no way to become rich except by robbing workers of their full value, renting out land and property made private by violence, and/or inheriting that wealth from someone who did, protecting it with violence.

It’s true that most fascists in America, like most people, are Christian. However, that doesn’t change that the elements that actually make Christo-fascism bad (the fascism) also show up in lots of other areas like the occult, neo-paganism, and video game culture. Obvious in the picture below is the pseudo-Nordic aesthetic of Arizona QAnon supporter […]
Quick takeaway: Resist the urge to make casual “lizard people” jokes even though it seems like it’s just a harmless, out-there conspiracy to reference for funzies. Most people aren’t aware that concept is related to a specific set of beliefs developed by a specific person: David Icke. As these conspiracies tend to do, his veer […]
Saying that you oppose “unjust” hierarchies can be used as a dangerous weasel word to justify nearly anything But, it’s also important to look at other models of leadership that may even have been hereditary yet led by persuasion rather than dominance or the threat of violence.
