  • On behalf of the rare individual who wants the author separated from the work, genuinely sorry. We know most public HP support comes from people who are ambivalent or actively anti-trans so don’t get your wires crossed, I’m not saying you should ask each Gryffindor scarf if “they have legitimate concerns about the erasure of womanhood” if they’re even hiding behind that obvious bullshit anymore. It’s pretty much a given now. It just sucks that Death of the Author is a failure in this case.


  • This was two posts down from a very funny video showing that you can get any result from a poll. Before I even read the numbers I was like “People, government, and violence-enacting groups are not the same” ie I can relate to (sympathize with) being a citizen of an occupying regime, even to being part of the occupying force, without agreeing with the overall agenda of the regime in charge. Maybe I’m empathizing instead of sympathizing, but I see most people who take polls on a CBS site (another obvious flaw here) will also sympathize (or empathize) that direction.

    Then I read the numbers. They are abysmal. Still, I’d like to see a poll that is more fairly worded. A poll that constructs the opposite perspective in its audience would be amusing too.








  • I guess I’m not online enough to see the problematic posts or comments, or the mods here are really Johnny-on-the-spot. So I have very little experience of any claims made here. The only time I found toxic content was in a dog sub, and the majority there was harshly against the breed currently begging me for belly rubs.

    That was a tangent. But yeah, I haven’t ever seen the fascists, but there are many possible reasons for that.




  • Cops: *go on strike*

    Nothing: *changes*

    Bourgeois: “Give them everything they ask for or society will collapse!”

    Yeah, police are the enforcement tools of the owner class, designated extra privileges to give them the impression that they’re somehow distinct from the proletariat. They’d have too much power even without unions. Listen to politicians who urge corrupt cops to stay on payroll because of literally getting the “rotten apple” metaphor backwards. I’m not really sure how you can judge some unions good or bad, when ACAB is a fact. Just, get rid of the police and leave this hypothetical to historians.
