Can't get the thoughts that this earth was made for psychopaths off my mind

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

If it's any consolation, psychopaths have suffered serious setbacks these past 500 years or so.

The vast majority of human history operated on gift economies. Oppressive systems of government (and governments in general) are much more of a recent invention in the grand scheme lf things.

One we must end

This is where I fall off with liberals. "Lose the Trans talking points, they are holding the DNC back."

How about first we try losing the DNC talking points. They've been in charge this whole time and I didn't see trans people allow fascism to wash over the states while they were at the head of the government.

Lose the gun talking point.

Dems be Beto O'Rourke'ing every election

This is the moment that O'Rourke lost texas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMVhL6OOuR0

2nd amendment can serve an important purpose, kill traitors who are violating the constitution.

Unfortunately, dems managed to convince people left-of-center to disarm, while the far-right have become the majority of gun owners.

Thanks, Democrats. You did the job for the fascists.

Gun are great. End fascism where the idea begins 🧠 by using the 2A

I have been saying this for years, as someone who lives in Texas: If the Dems stopped talking about "taking away guns", then Progressive policies/candidates would win in landslide elections constantly.

I voted for Beto, donated to his campaign, had his yard sign, etc. But I knew that sound clip was going to haunt him forever.

I am far from a one issue voter, but the louder you are against the working class being armed, the slimmer the chances of me voting for you.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

  • Karl Marx

It's one of things we actually agree with rightoids about... Democrat strategy is stupid beyond belief; who are the anti-gun libs going to vote for, the Republicans?

[–] 1234@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

it is like watching interdimensional cable from Rick and Morty "in this reality it is normal to carry guns and the discussion is which side of the aisle has more"

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 points 23 hours ago

I feel like.. this is half baked... but I feel like the gun stuff should be ... states rights? Push it down to the state level. Let texas be texas. Let new york or new york city specifically have its own laws. Make right wing people argue against states rights some more.

[–] CMonster@discuss.online 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You arent going to win any elections catering to 1% of the total population and alienating a large part of it. I would say that is just common sense politics at this point.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Protecting the rights of individuals is not catering to 1% of the total population. Its the bare minimum in a supposed civilized democracy. You can never, ever, compromise on protecting individuals that are causing no harm to others and just trying to navigate through the world.

Do we need to showcase the trans issue? No. We need politicians that are better at navigating the media environment and can effectively strategize against the GOP propaganda machine.

If you do that first, you wouldn't have an issue with trans people. For fuck sakes make an attempt at it even and if they are capable and what I say is wrong, fine, expel the trans people from the party. Except, accept you will never be a party of values only one of opposition, so be cautious of ever trying to claim morality after that point.

And the far right took that personally

Well clearly it's my trans neighbor with no money and no power who is making me not have free healthcare, unions, and a house and not billionaires.

[–] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 22 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

I support trans people's right to exist and to be able to live happy lives 🤘 ❤️ crazy how so many transphobes obsess over trans people. most of them haven't even met a trans person

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Any transphobe I've had the misfortune of talking to has met a trans person. Most of them don't notice. One of them repeatedly hit on me.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

I always equate these things just to human rights and the fact that someone is trans doesn't automatically negate their right to live or be happier or prosperous. The fact that they're trans should have no effect on basic human rights.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 22 hours ago

Most of them probably have, but didn't notice.

[–] antbricks@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

the whole (he/him) in my email signature was a wild ride... like do I add it even though I'm CIS/hetero/boring? I see all the middle aged white women in my office doing it, and that means it's a few weeks from HR making a vague rule about it... I'm not conservative, but I don't want to be some fake virtue signaler, since I don't really know any trans people... but I don't want to give some kind of passive approval of intolerance by NOT adding it... will HR flag me if I do add it? or if I don't?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

I support the trans agenda, the gay agenda, the woke agenda, and the Hyena Agenda.

I support not hating or attacking people for their uniqueness and individuality but I'm not going to wear a badge or wave a placard. I will speak up or attempt to defend anyone being hated or attacked but I don't have a chip on my shoulder and am not looking for a fight. Don't take any shit from the haters. Haters are less, you are not!

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Survive and thrive!

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My transmission is a whiny bitch and should not have it's agenda supported!

Wait we're talking about trans folks? Sure I'll support them.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

My trans is an automatic. It's fine, but I much prefer the manual ones with the stick I can really wrap my hand around and slide up and down and up and down........ and up and down.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

"non-trans" normal person here, and I think everyone who has a problem with trans / queer / whatever people is a fucking moron. I absolutely support the "trans agenda"

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 21 hours ago (8 children)

Gentle FYI for you today, the term for non-trans is cis or cisgender. 💜

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

My stance is as they say in Poland.

Not my monkeys, not my circus. I just dont care.

It doesn't affect me in the slightest, other than a minimal amount of the taxes i pay go towards treatment of their illness. Although, i find it slightly hypocritical that they are allowed to start changing gender before 18. Would seem that many other things should be allowed before 18 aswell in that case.
