how I sleep after calling for violence against shithead transphobes

It's short for asexual, which is a spectrum of not feeling sexual attraction. Personally I still have a sex drive, and seek out relationships, but I really don't feel sexual attraction to people, I have to like them for other reasons. I even routinely go on dates with friends who are poly- but it's just to be friends.

And, you know, that gets me thinking... this whole conversation is exactly what capitalists want; infighting. You think I'm not radical enough for you, so you then label me as completely opposed to you. The problem is, I can guarantee we share a great many ideals, but you are too busy gatekeeping to allow others with slightly different but reconcilable ideals to be allies.

Gatekeeping? That was always the issue I had with "democratic" socialists who have positions, but insist that they're the 'democratic' ones because they want to make sure the slaveowners keep getting a vote (and continue existing).

Real pain in the ass, but I suddenly have far fewer teenagers who peaked in middle school debate club to deal with.

This statement isn't even internally consistent, are we teenagers or did we peak in middle school?

How dare anyone be negative towards the belligerent arms cartel that has had its hand in multiple coup governments, and destroyed numerous countries.

You all act so offended by people not swallowing your narrative.

Because they weren't the ones working the slaves to death in Caribbean plantations. Have you read any history?

Also there were plenty of indigenous slaves taken, whole generations worked to death in mines to send silver back to europe

You're accusing me of condoning or advocating genocide?

You already told me to fuck off for pointing out that parts of Ukraine have been getting shelled by its own government for over 8 years, considering that response, yes that was my conclusion.

No. Water power did, Europe has an absurd number of suitable streams for grain mills allowing less the creation of extensive trade, merchant, and scholar classes. Which led to technological superiority which led to the capacity to roll over other nations (and the presumption that it was the right thing to do). Without that pre-existing wealth all that colonising would not have been possible.

It was definitely the slavery

I was a bit too young to have much of an opinion or impact there. In any case very much unlike Ukraine, Serbia actually was genociding people. "Get genocided by your central state, get independence" is more than fair if you ask me.

The Ukrainian state has been killing civilians indiscriminately in its two breakaway regions, they were just doing it for much longer than it took for any kind of intervention in Serbia.

When the west starts to pretend to care about muslims, you know they're full of shit about any purported genocides. They went from pretending to care about Kosovar Albanians to murdering millions of muslims over the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

So the Bundeswehr is a Nazi org because it's using the iron cross as emblem?

It's pretty funny having iron crosses constantly showing up on all the UA vehicles- I think we all know what they're going for, they just left off a few lines.

So Russia suddenly isn't European? That would come as news to Europe.

Russia has not been a part of 'the west', certainly not as far as most of the EU is concerned unless you're trying to be intentionally obtuse

I've fully replaced reddit/Twitter for scrolling a while ago- I don't even bother with other social media at this point.

I was worried it would be annoying having to deal with a bunch of liberals after federation, but it's been pretty funny on balance. Sorry about the enormous emojis though, I try to spoiler tag those now.

Hexbear is the free speech instance, only there can you say what should really happen to landlords and cops.
