Zionists like to defend their slaughter with "if *your* family was killed in October 7, you'd wanna kill them all in revenge too," and not even consider that the same thing applies a hundredfold to the people they're massacring

So what you're saying is, in this day and age, merely knowing what a phonebook is is the key to being seen as attractive and well-connected?

These tweets always draw out the most spitefully misanthropic people in existence
"Expecting everyone to have food and a place to live is unrealistic," "you're not entitled to a life worth living"
Seriously, what do you people get out of roleplaying as Ebenezer Scrooge
@AnarchOnion
Even so, "I will call to make appointments and do all the legwork for you" is one of the most attractive things somebody could possibly tell me

The state of the comments right now:
Fascists: "Queer people are all pedophiles, we should kill them all"
Queer people: "Fascists are saying they want to kill us all"
Fascists: "Wow, we never mentioned you at all, sounds like you're admitting to being pedophiles 😏"

This is very easy to pull off for a team of outlaw falconers.
A trained Arabian hunting falcon requires only a place to roost and one hare daily. One self-guided smart falcon can jam a water intake. Two can crack an aquarium window. Three can devour 1500 beached fish.

"It's not propaganda if the masses are eating it up" is perhaps the least self-aware comment I have ever seen in the history of this site, I don't know where they make these people
@screenrant
The video: 80% of the runtime is spent on the lackluster activities and attractions
The rebuttal: "by calling it a 'hotel,' the video completely ignores the fact that there are also plenty of activities and attractions"

Also fascists: "We don't oppose all queer people, just the ones who are groomers"
Fascists' definition of grooming: *literally any aspect of existing as a queer person at all*

Democrats who defend horrific human rights abuses with "states' rights" should be treated the same way they were in 1863
The reason that we use the word antisemitism to refer to anti-Jewish bigotry (and why we avoid formatting it as "anti-Semitism") is because bigots spent decades referring to the mere existence of Jewish people as "Semitism"

It truly does amaze me how much of conservative rhetoric and ideology boils down to literal toddler whining like "ain't nobody tell *me* what to do" and "ain't nobody spending *my* money to help *other* people"

As I often like to say, racism is America's original sin the same way antisemitism is Europe's original sin, basically everything traces its roots back to this
@transmasctakes
Seriously, half the negative comments on this are "if you're a trans man then it should be obvious to you that 'I hate all men' doesn't apply to you" and half are "I don't care if you're trans, I still hate you because I hate all men (you're welcome for the affirmation, btw 😏)"

They say that they need to breed because they're the master race, and then you look at a photo of them and it turns out that the master race is apparently the scrawniest nerds you've ever seen in Himmler glasses

@BisectedBrioche
It seems the people in the replies are taking from the classic Holocaust denier playbook: "there's no such thing as a genocide going on, but also the genocide is a good thing and you people deserve it"
@transmasctakes
If you go "I hate trans men because they're men and I hate all men," as though trans men are the masterminds of patriarchy instead of one of the most flagrant and punished examples of gender deviance, you're not actually interested in feminism, you just want to be a bully

Transphobes talking about trans women: "Only uterus-havers like us are true women!"
Transphobes talking about trans men, literally moments later: "It's dehumanising and misogynistic to refer to people as having uteruses!"

I've noticed that every tweet with over 50 replies has suddenly become unreadable, because now all of the posts that would be at the top of the replies (have the most engagement) are now buried under hordes of chuds with zero likes, and I've sprained my thumb trying to block them

When you take out $44,000 in loans to go to college, they tell you you're an idiot for going into that kind of debt and that's your problem
When he takes out $44,000,000,000 in loans to buy Twitter, they say he's a genius for it, and his problems are the fault of the woke mob
@transmasctakes
Also, defining lesbianism around the hatred of men rather than the love of women is far more hateful towards lesbians than the existence of trans men will ever be, I think I speak for all lesbians when I say we don't claim this person
@emanabdelhadi
@abossgoose
It really is funny to me how the people who froth at the mouth "how DARE you take MY money out of MY pocket to give to OTHER PEOPLE" only say that when the government tries to do something good for once, and remain completely silent when it comes to war and repression and death
@EmmyCic
@thewarmvoid
Not to mention, claims can be snappy soundbites because they don't have to be true, and refutations are often detailed and tedious, so if the claim is repeated ad nauseam, down the road people will vaguely remember that person B did something wrong without remembering the details

Columbia: "We're proud of how much we stand behind our Jewish students and organizations and whatever they have to say"

@NinaWest
See also: "I had no problem with trans people, but they just had to go on and make extreme demands and go too far"
Their idea of going too far: *saying they are a certain gender, wearing gendered clothes, literally anything except being closeted*
The qrts to this are wild:
-She leaks the no-fly list and the entire queer community goes "hell yeah"
-She mentions she's a bi lesbian and half of them go "nevermind actually I hope you do get arrested"
-They accuse *her* of being obsessed with discourse for defending herself
When you realise that nearly all modern anti-trans rhetoric is word-for-word identical to antisemitic rhetoric from ninety years ago, it becomes hard to deny exactly what fascists are planning and where we are headed

Golf was invented because the Scottish Highlands were covered in vast tracts of scrubby grass that couldn't really be used for anything else like agriculture

Also, it doesn't matter how much support you give to these new mothers if you're forcing them to be mothers in the first place, forcing them to change their entire lives to raise children instead of whatever life plans they had before

You don’t understand
$50,000 buys 10 falcons
In 16 months you have 50 falcons
Breed those 50
16 months you have 250 falcons
Breed them
16 mo you have 1,250 falcons
Breed them
16 mo you have 6,250 falcons
Sell them for $1 each. You are financially ruined, family starves.

Speaking from personal experience, when a white person does it, they're a "free thinker" who's "speaking their mind," but when poc do it, we're "ungrateful."
I could write a whole essay about the way "ungrateful" gets levied as an insult almost solely at poc, honestly.

Everyone talks about how great store-bought lesbians are, but it's a little-known fact that homemade DIY lesbians are usually of such high quality as to surpass the name brands.

I know some of y'all out there loathe the idea that people could have a complicated understanding of queerness and gender, but watch as we continue to exist, no matter how many tantrums y'all throw.

It's genuinely surreal to see a bunch of allegedly left-wing transfems throwing around "unlike you lib snowflakes, I'm not so easily offended that I need trigger warnings"
Would it be so hard to have even a drop of empathy for other people??

The smoking gun that the "life choice" of "settle down in a heterosexual marriage and have children" is based in coercion is the sheer paternalistic outrage conservatives have at other people making different life choices, despite their claims of its self-evident superiority

"I'm not cis, I'm normal" is something only said by people trying to depict trans people as abnormal deviants instead of another variant of people
