Religion, Politics, Political Genders, and...maybe Football. The real football.

What makes a gender political? First I'm hearing that term.

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

It's a play on the joke "There are 3 genders, male, female, and political"

The nuclear one?

Roko's basilisk, if you run an online forum for “futurist” dumbasses.

Women create most of their own issues and then blame men for not fixing them.

Obviously I'm not saying all their problems cause men are pretty fucked but most of the problems women complain about are because of other women.

Especially when it comes to beauty standards.

Social Justice Warriors forcing their agenda and worldview into languages, movies, books, and games, and cancelling everyone who did something regrettable in the past.

Can I have any examples of such things?

I'm not a huge fan of cancel culture either, but I've not paid a cent to any artists' work that I love in my whole life, so I feel I can justify my position by holding up my hands and saying "hey, I don't fund their lifestyle. Never have, never will."

Best answer because even in this thread you've been down voted.

I voted for him myself and have for sure been down voted for it on here, over and over again.

Haven't been banned though, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Why would you vote for him???

Because I look at policy and results. Actual peace, actual economic benefits, and damn, do I love his transition team.

I think the worst thing the Dems did for their party was rig their primaries. Bernie was a big one, I think it would have altered the course of the next few elections for sure. And then when they did it to Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang... and this year to RFK jr...

Whoever is making the controlling decisions behind the party facade wanted puppets instead of genuine leaders, and they chased the good candidates out. The ones who had integrity (Tulsi, RFK), reached out to see what was going on on the other side and found good footing there. I followed.

If I see a clip, I search out the full video for context. If I read a quote, I search out where that quote came from to get context. When context is inserted, it turns out Trump is incredibly decent, and I like it over here.

And bring that spider on, I've got a giant-ass lynx cat and a guardian dog, both of which love munching on spiders.
