@shroomie the bit quoted in the video is a very common transphobic canard

(though i heard such stuff first in a fictional white nationalist context - in the play Cherry Docs where the nazi says "multiracial" and his jewish legal aid lawyer corrects him "multicultural" and he cuts in "that's newspeak")

@apophis ah yeah. god, 1984 is such a special novel, isn’t it?

also i’m on adhd meds and they don’t actually make me better at paying attention at all so the whole first paragraph of what he said flew completely over my head, sorry

@shroomie BUT on the other hand literally everything you hear from the right about "freedom" when it comes to deregulating companies so they can pollute and defame and discriminate, or imposing "freedom" on other countries by colonizing them and forcing their people to adopt westernized consumerist ways of life that depend on the largesse of american military might, and "law enforcement" and "public safety" that's really about letting roving bands of armed men do anything they want to the people without consequence, and "protecting children" that's all about protecting parents' ability to abuse their children...

@apophis god what is wrong with maybe most of the people in power. like maybe 75% of all federal politicians foam at the mouth for imperialism. you don’t even need to make analogies to rape to make it look wrong, the people in pain don’t try to hide that they’re hurt. i try to be optimistic that all people are fundamentally good but like. at best everyone who willingly participates is wildly delusional

@shroomie the idea that hurting people outside your ingroup is bad is very, very, very new for our species
