Also, Spending Taxpayer Money To Provide Food Is "extremist" But Spending Taxpayer Money To Hire Cops

Queen shit

do people not understand that the point of legalizing child labor is regulating child labor. so that child laborers can like, be legally protected if they experience violence and such violence can be prevented by putting legal guard rails in place. instead of our current system that leaves child laborers with no recourse of protection.

do people not understand that the point of legalizing sex work is regulating sex work. so that sex workers can like, be legally protected if they experience violence and such violence can be prevented by putting legal guard rails in place. instead of our current system that leaves sex workers with no recourse or protection

It's just a Madonna Whore complex on a mass scale

i hate how social media is pushing a tradwife/ sex worker dichotomy. Many of us have no interest in being either.

last thing we women need, is to have our rights set back several decades or more.

... genuinely what is this timeline

Big day for deranged evangelical freaks

LITERALLY

These religions just exist to break you and build you up in the way that they want. They're just so... out there. Like, the most weird black and white thought.

And how the fuck is God gonna save you from HIMSELF??? Literal abuser rhetoric. Not to sound like an athiest neckbeard but it really does have all the traits of a cult.

I don't think people understand just how cruel the Abrahamic God IS according to believers.

According to each Holy Book, God created humans, giving them freewill and skepticism and no solid proof of him, so everyone has a different idea of him, and everyone who chooses the wrong belief gets tortured for eternity. And then this is considered… a blessing? This would be the majority of people. According to these books, he's torturing billions of souls for not sucking his dick. How insane. According to Christians and Muslims, their God would be more cruel to Jews and gay people than Hitler. Judaism is slightly better in that it doesn't even consider the Goyim as humans, so they aren't tortured and just go out of existence. I don't understand how believers in these religions can have somewhat normal morality and act normal around nonbelievers but then love a being like that. What about that feels you with love and light? Oh yeah, and what's even more insane is considering these religions peaceful and religions of love. I can't think of something more hateful than these religions. How much more hateful can you get exactly? Even Heaven is arguably bad too. In Christianity and Judaism, it's just constant worship of this genocidal grotesque God and you're a "sinless" shell of a human. That sounds like psychological torture to anyone who isn't absolutely batshit. In Islam, Heaven is basically nothing substantial for women, and for men, it's an eternity of cheating on your wife with 72 virgins who have no soul of their own. How can anyone hear these things and not have their skin absolutely crawl?

I would prefer Satan, I would say Satan is better for the sole virtue of rebelling against something so fucked up. Although I would say he's equal considered he only wanted to replace God out of his own ego. But, Satan is not the one who owns Hell, he's another soul being tortured there, God owns everything and chooses to cause suffering. How can an all forgiving Father cause his children to feel pain for eternity for something as small as disobeying him. Even the most abusive fathers in the world have not achieved that level of cruelty (although arguably the absolute worst ones would if they could, regardless, what a horrible metric). And apparently child rape is forgivable in the eyes of God and equal to the "sin" of masturbating, but simply refusing to believe? That's what gets you tortured forever? I'm not sure if a human being that reach that level of narcissism, but a supposedly self-sacrificing loving God according to Christianity can. The self-sacrifice wasn't even an actual sacrifice, he just supposedly got humans to kill an incarnation of him. What the hell is the point of that? According to the Bible, God also decided to get a 13 year old pregnant. He could have impregnated any virgin woman in the world begin God and all, but people want to believe it was a child. Jesus's teen mother is also one of the only significant female figures in Christianity and women supposedly came from a mans rib and then the rib-woman clone and the man created all humans through like 2000 generations of incest. Anything but admit that we're just a species of animal and we're more connected to rest of the Earth than they want to believe right? The misogyny of these religions creep into every page. Males couldn't accept that women in reality are the creators of life, so they had to make up this weird shit.

And sure, morality, is relative maybe. If we want to argue that. But these same people would be absolutely terrified of actually meeting a being like that. Horror books touch on it but rarely even meet that level of cruel. Maybe it's hard to conceptualize what torture for eternity means exactly or how insane it is for that to be a punishment for a belief, but I think you can fucking guess?

But it's the Buddhists, Hindus, pagans, witches, atheists, who are barbaric. Right.

Yes lmao, I think that's also why I liked Brave New World. It was genuinely futuristic and kind of interesting, because there were also good sides to the society and it's understandable how it could become that way.

1984 was just "what if the citizens were tortured but like A LOT and make everything smell like cabbage for some reason". F451 is like nazi germany but if it had tiktok.

Thanks for the book rec! I'll try ^^ It looks good!

please, tell me i’m not the only one who hates 1984 by george orwell with all the heart. everyone always describes it as this incredible book that will change your perception of the world, but honestly ... it didn’t. for me.

I don't know why people think sex work has to be only one of these two:

Completely banned, where pimps, buyers, and prostitutes are all legally held responsible

Completely legal, where pimping, buying, and being a prostitute is fully legal and government regulated

A better solution is a compromise between the two. Buying sex work, and selling sex workers can be illegal, but being a prostitute can be legal.

Exactly this!

The whole aesthetic thing really is a really dystopian commodification of personalities...

i think the biggest capitalist scam is that you can supposedly buy the real you.

"see these clothes? it shows who i really am! this makeup, too! i need plastic surgery so that my face can look like my aesthetic!"

you don't need to buy your true self, it's in your personality not your appearance

In America, poverty is a death sentence and Donald Trump and the Republican Party are slowly repealing The Affordable Care Act, making healthcare unaffordable once again. We need Medicare For All, and we need it now. No one should die because they can’t afford overpriced, profitized healthcare.

These are some of the people who needlessly died, just because they couldn’t afford healthcare. Unfortunately, as long as conservative politicians control congress, they won’t be the last.

Idk but generally that is not how radical feminism works.

Wasn't the whole "scientific proof" of transgender identities being that trans people supposedly have a brain wired like the opposite sex (or I guess for nonbinary people, just atypically)? I saw that notion all over the place and actually believed it for some time. How else can it be innate if it's not related to brain structure/chemistry?

You can acknowledge gendered socialization being a thing and still prioritize educating women over men. It's much less of a uphill battle since feminism is already in women's interest more. If it benefited men equally, I don't doubt that radfems would put as much effort in educating men.

I would also think about separatism and the 4B movement kind of like a strike as well.

And still dude, what are you proposed solutions? Completely dodged that one.

We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful
