    Your child won’t talk to you because you’re a Nazi dickhead. Maybe apologise, do better, and they’ll talk to you again.

      So along these lines, I went to my first pride parade ever, and served as security. The parade was marshalled by the local Palestine solidarity group, and we were briefed about possible people who may case issue.

      We were ready for basically anything.

      No one showed up spouting hate or Zionism (well one Zionist but they ran away when we started recording them). The only issue was a cop tried to stop the “from the river to the sea” chant. Unsuccessfully because someone in the parade had babysat his kids a bunch, and the guy with the megaphone yelled “He’s trying to say we can’t chant from the river to the sea. What do we think of that!”

      And the parade chanted it sooooo much louder. The people lining the streets (maybe 50%?) chanted along with the Palestinian group.

      Still, not hate.

      The point is, the hate we see is largely manufactured. And those spouting it are often cowards. Real people care about rights and liberation.

        Hell yeah. I was at a palestine solidarity action recently and this cop who could not have been older than mud 20s pulled out his baton while we were trying to confront a california state rep on his way from a closed town hall. I went up to him about 6 feet away and asked him point blank why he was afraid of a bunch of boomer peace activists armed with nothing but a marching drum and a megaphone.

        He sheepishly put his baton away but kept scowling at me so I just held eye contact yelling “quit your job” til he broke eye contact and got in his car.

        Yes, if not you in particular its there attempts at fostering an ‘organic’ alt-right in the youth in the follow up to the upcoming US election by playing trans panic narratives onto the frontpage. There are always state sponsered boosted propoganda on the frontpage of reddit; you can easily see it on any discussion about ukraine always being 100% postive about ukraine, palestine seemingly always being pro-isreal and the IDpol pushed by them in topics such as this.

        Its meant for people on the fence to build a false consensus and to make the counter point seem like an outlier.

        For people like us, its meant to create an illusion of consensus and make us feel like the rich and powerfull already have the hegemony.

    May the bigots’ coping and seething fill one with revolutionary strength.

    This feels like the kind of joke a trans person would make ironically — it’s kind of crazy to me that people actually believe this unironically.

    To continue the bit, the fact that Elon didn’t also gain a daughter is entirely his fault for being a Nazi.

    I got it recommended on YT as well. Sucks tbh :/

    I listened to a bit out of curiosity (wanted to see what he had to say about the Trump shooting/etc) and it was like hearing my dad talk. Not just the capitalist brainworms (where despite it all, there’d be at least some room for a decent relationship otherwise… maybe) but that some people just can’t help but be raging assholes who can’t respect other people and think they know better about others’ identities and lives, even when it’s their kids… I’m so sorry for his poor daughter :/
