    Is it a bit far-fetched to say that most women who call themselves feminists are just Western/white feminists who think the epitome of feminism would be a gender-bent Elon Musk?

    At least it shows that even those liberals don’t have the balls to call themselves liberal anymore and instead cosplay as leftists, or is it some unique American thing? And yes, I saw the Canadian flag in the bio, but we both know Canada is a vassal state and just as bad as the US.

        I just used it as a catch all for Traitors. People who are “rightist queer” or “rightist pro queer”.

    Being pro-Palestine/anti-Israel is the lowest possible entry bar for a present day leftist. Anyone making excuses for Israel should just straight up not be considered a leftist by any stretch of the term.

    She is Feminist, and pro-Human Rights… in her own mind, but certainly not in practice.

    It was after thinking about the massive rollbacks for women and minorities across the world after the destruction by the Eastern Bloc that I realized that, not only is fighting against AESoc bad for the working class, it is bad for women and minorities. Not only was the USSR proudly feminist itself (as is obvious), there were countless concessions given to the American people due to fears of the USSR, which either included gains for women or helped it along. Thus the destruction of the Eastern Bloc (with Parenti chronicling how women doctors were forced into prostitution) actually heavily weakened feminism abroad, and the bourgeoise, without any opposing powers, were free to make “shocking” misogynistic statements.

    Feminism, indeed, was about women working together from the start in order to achieve womens’ rights, and in an individualistic, hyper-competitive Capitalism, there is no real banding together like there once was.

      I messed up grammatically. It should be:

      . The bourgeoise, without any opposing powers, were free to make “shocking” misogynistic statements.

          I just wanted to make sure that people knew I spelled something wrong. I didn’t want to seem like I was subtly changing my message before people knew. Will do edits next time.

    I “get” the genocide denial in that I understand the vast, decades-long propaganda effort that led to it.

    But claiming Pahlavi was somehow chosen by Iranians? What? Monarchs don’t devise their claim from popular support, the last time his family was in control the populace revolted… even if you’re in the camp that the legitimate government must be overthrown, it’s a head scratcher.

    What really terrifies me is how our minds are capable of adapting in such maladaptive ways that we’re capable of sleeping soundly at night, despite the enormous amount of cognitive dissonance this person must be experiencing internally.

    Arguably what’s truly terrifying about Sora AI is that liberals can excuse real suffering as fake, everything and anything you don’t like can be reduced to being “generated propaganda” and because liberals have a tendency to choose the path of least resistance they will absolutely choose to believe whatever suits them. It’s not that these AI tools change their core behavior, but it expands it.

    The “good” news is that these people don’t decide anything. They’re a net 0, they just consume stuff. If we focus on the people who produce what they consume, then overcoming this seemingly impossible obstacle suddenly becomes more feasible.

    I mean if you don’t think of Gazans as human beings or innocent then you could easily come to that conclusion; Herzog literally said there are no innocent civilians in Gaza, and you had Dershowitz writing an article titled ‘How innocent are the civilians of Gaza really?’ You ask Israelis why is it okay to kill Gazan women and they tell you it’s because they’re the mothers of the terrorists, you ask them why it’s okay to kill Gazan babies and they tell you it’s because they’ll grow up to become terrorists. Netanyahu goes up before the UN and speaks with absolute hate about Palestinians in general, not Hamas. If you don’t consider Gazan civilians to be innocent, you wouldn’t think whatever’s done to them is a crime. At this point no matter how much human rights organizations, over 100 of them, all say this is a genocide, you’d be here thinking that there would have to be innocent civilians in Gaza for this to be the case.

    Reza Pahlavi is the interim leader chosen by the Iranians

    Prove it, show me where they voted for him

    Feminist

    Sure, but to you some women deserve human rights and others not so much; Reza Pahlavi is defending Israel’s aggression and the war which started on day 1 by bombing a girl’s school and killing over 150 women girls (oof, why’d I say women and why didn’t you guys correct me bern-disgust ). Going over the last two years, you’re saying the killing of women and children in Gaza wasn’t a genocide. Some women are human and others not so much, eh?

    The genocide part isn’t worth even touching, but I got a giggle out of a “chosen by Iranians” monarch. Who was installed by outside forces last he was in power. Ok, officer.

    Also might no be a fed, just a model example of a western “leftist” who is a confused liberal.
