/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • Trans Bathroom Ban Bills Now Expanding To Private Businesses

    Jump

  • ffs I stopped using the men's restroom because men kept getting confused and angry when I went in there, and I wasn't even that far into my transition yet. It's been years now, I'm going to have to make a scene every single time I have to pee I guess.

  • Even when I'm mocking AI bros, they don't get it

  • Smart in a really specific way.

    Specifically: stealing, scams, and flimflam.

  • EU foreign policy chief criticises ‘fashionable euro-bashing’ by US

    Jump

  • As long as you keep obeying the US like loyal dogs, I will keep bashing you. You're pathetic, worthless little worms that will do anything the US wants. You'll whine about it, you'll complain at the UN, you'll make impassioned speeches - and then do what the US wants anyway. Hopefully Trump is the wakeup call y'all need to finally start asserting your sovereignty. I won't hold my breath.

    Jump

  • "So many" is doing a lot of work.

    It's literally hundreds of people, and it only jumped from dozens after Trump's tariff regime began.

    Out of a country of over a billion people, that's basically nothing.

  • ICE operations increasingly resemble Israeli occupation. That’s no coincidence

  • We live in the future!

  • Why shouldn't they be assholes when they have to deal with piece of shit riders like you?

  • US Democrats: proud of deportations

    Jump

  • In the context of US imperialism, yes, deportation is always bad. This country has no right to close its borders.

  • Will a Pan-Arab Communist Party ever be possible?

    Jump

  • Yeah, oil and gas basically make solidarity impossible.

    I think that's going to change if/when the world moves away from fossil fuels (and so the material basis for imperial extractivism erodes), but it might not be possible until then.

  • Dems Want to Ban Surveillance Pricing at Big Grocery Stores

    Jump

  • That has basically never been true for US parties, because they're not really parties.

  • As Dem Voters Seek a 'Fight' With the Superrich, AOC is Now Their Favorite Candidate: Poll

    Jump

  • And yet, people voted for candidates who pledged to cut them. That has to be reckoned with.

    There's definitely a problem with Democrats being unwilling to improve these programs, because ultimately the Democratic leadership hates government programs too, but there's also the problem with people voting to take government benefits away form undesirables. Again, policies aren't popular on their own, they need to be promoted and advanced. We have a role to play.

    Nashville Sit-ins Begin (1960) - Novo General Megathread for the 13th-19th of February 2026

    Jump

  • If I was cooking chilaquiles or tacos I'd probably try the palm shaping method, but it seems really unworkable to make big burrito tortillas that way - at least at my level of skill!

    I also had a problem of not getting the pan hot enough at first, I think, and so actually getting the little browned bubbles to appear was challenging. The tortillas I made towards the end of the first batch came out way better than the first ones, thinner and softer and easier to roll. I'm going to be learning a lot doing this for sure.

    Surveillance protects people from terrorism, and sacrificing some privacy makes us safer.

    Jump

  • If surveillance does not seem to affect their daily lives then they are not bound by the law. They're simply protected. They have nothing to fear because the government's terror regime is not directed against them, they simply benefit from the security it provides them. You can not argue against them, they are simply conscious of their own material interests.

    Privacy is only valuable if the government is a hostile force, but they have never experienced government hostility. They're protected. They're not the ones being dragged out of their houses by screaming masked men or put to work in prisons. They're fine.

    Jump

  • A lot of government assistance programs were popular, and they were eroded anyway because their popularity wasn't sustained through outreach and propaganda. Democrats wouldn't stand up for government assistance programs because they didn't really like them either, so the only thing people heard was how bad it was. There needs to be a concerted effort to educate the masses.

    Policies aren't popular on their own. They still have to be made popular and kept popular, by activists and politicians and parties.

  • There are a lot of people on those apps who mostly are protected by the law. They're not, like, Epstein clients or anything but their interactions with law enforcement often involve being pulled over and then let off with a warning, whereas someone else would be dragged out of their car and beaten half to death.

    Also, never underestimate how many of them are bots.

    Jump

  • It has worked on a big enough scale to matter, it's how so many government programs have been gutted over the past few decades. They're always screeching about "fraud" and "abuse" which basically just means "non-white people getting benefits."

    There's definitely a limit to how far race consciousness can suppress class consciousness, but it definitely works on a big scale.

  • Except for when racists are rallied into opposing things they would directly benefit from because non-white people would also benefit. Anything which erodes their racial caste becomes a material threat to their racial consciousness, and they fight it.

    That's how you end up with some poor whites pushing to gut SNAP and WIC.
