I can't breathe omg guys wehagve to do something about male loneliness in america!!
I think that the foundational white supremacist ideology of the west is actually what’s pushing young men to the far right and not because a girl didn’t ask him to homecoming :(
the idea tht mens loneliness is womens fault/responsibility is also actively a main talking point of the andrew tate and the like
Right, it's literally them saying "Women have too much (economic and social) freedom nowadays to not be with a man if they don't feel like it, this is the reason why men are so lonely now unlike the olden days in which women had no choice but to settle for a man whether they wanted to or not. The solution to men's loneliness is somehow forcing or coercing women into being with a man even if they don't really want to be (either the specific man in question, or men categorically)."
That is how men like, I think it was Jordan Peterson, are easing into talking about FORCED MONOGAMOUS HETEROSEXUAL COUPLING as an ideal government mandated practice.
@ everyone talking about "men's loneliness" as a societal problem that WOMEN must fix (because I guess we're not lonely too, and if men are lonely it's OUR problem to fucking fix because men are helpless babies and we're all their mother-servants I fucking guess):
I hope you all know that THAT'S the rhetoric you're supporting and spreading, even if you omit the part about how the problem is women are too free economically and socially to not need a man and that should be overturned. It's still the same shit, just with the conclusion implied instead of blatantly stated.
We are not going to let that fuckwad DeSantis gain a foothold in the 2024 election.
You are going to fucking vote for Joe Biden, and you are going to give us a fucking chance to save our country from fascism, and you aren't going to fucking complain about it, because there is literally no other choice.
We will not let another election be a close call. Are you listening?
Vote for Biden. Vote for whatever Democrat is most popular in your local elections. Our system sucks, but this is what we're working with. Just fucking vote.
"But he's --"
It doesn't matter. It does. not. matter.
Not every battle is about progress. Sometimes it's just holding the line until we get reinforcements. And they are coming. The Gen Z vote was monumental in stopping the red wave, and there are increasing numbers as more and more come of age.
Hold the line.
And Biden has actually done quite a bit even with a divided congress?
- 1.2 billion infrastructure package including the most climate investment ever
- covid relief deal
- most (and most diverse including most black women) judges appointed, in the first 2 years like…ever
- halted fed executions, closed for profit prisons on a federal level
- many executive orders re: climate
- reversed trans ban in military
- record reduction in unemployment
- reform on pot sentencing at a federal level
- Biggest gun control bill in 30 years
- numerous executive orders to curb gun deaths
- drug price lowering
- increased taxes on the rich
- reauthorized the violence against women act
- has done a lot of student loan forgiveness even beyond that currently held up in court
- cut child poverty in half
- Saved NATO and Ukraine by quietly strengthening the alliance and trying to call out putin BEFORE the invasion and greasing hte wheels to allow military aid to go through. Everyone thought he was crazy, well guess what
- PACT act (helps service members harmed by toxins)
- Signed an act that improves US manufacturing of computer chips
- and more
Just…a simple google for biden's accomplishments.
Every last one of these things republicans stand against. Every single one. Better to take two steps forward than twenty steps back, right?
And here I am again, back in 2016 I kept yelling at everyone some variation of this:
One party wants me dead. It wants women, racial minorities, queer people of all stripes and poor people dead. It does not see us as human.
One party sees us all as people and generally wants us to live and even thrive. The difference is that stark. Everything that's happened since trump got elected has only reinforced that. The past two years of the right digging in, of a queer and specifically trans genocide....
We have to hold the line. If Republicans take the presidency and the senate in 2024, our democracy dies, and a lot of marginalized people die with it.
They will never let another party gain power again.
People not voting for Hillary in 2016 is the direct line that lost us the Supreme Court, there is no debating it RvW died and the SCOTUS is fucked for decades because Trump won in 2016.
Desantis is significantly more evil and intelligent than Trump. Take 5 seconds to look at what he is doing to FL, now imagine what he'll do if he's president.
We are seeing a shift in the Democratic party across the country, between the single rep in Nebraska holding up the entire legislation (tho she has understandably became an independent she was voted in as a Dem) and what Minnesota just accomplished this week, they're slowly getting better as time goes on, but we can't dig our heels in and demand perfection immediately when the other option is gleeful fascism. You have to show up to vote, and it has to be for Dems at all levels, and it has to be for Biden for president.
Listen I have a friend in Florida. She told me (as much as she hates the man) she’d rather vote for trump than desantis bc if desantis loses the presidency run against trump he can’t run for governor again in Florida. Which means someone else can step in and (fingers crossed) undo all the bigotry and facist shit he’s done there in the past couple years.
Thankfully most of us gen zers (especially us who are the tail end of millennials) know that Biden isn’t the best option but he’s better than these Republicans who are coming out of the wood works. And until we are of age to go for presidency, we are slowly infiltrating other political offices until there is going to be so many of us that future generations will actually have a place to call home. Most politicians nowadays (say for a good handful) don’t care about the younger generations and how their decisions are affecting us. They just care about how they will be effected.
SO PLEASE FOR ANYTHING THAT IS GOOD LIGHT AND/OR SPIRITUALLY HOLY INSIDE OF YOU VOTE FOR FUCKING BIDEN
Heads up!

and they’re usually not that brilliant and careful either. 99％ of the time the police are just incompetent! Ted Bundy literally jumped out a window and escaped police custody because they weren’t watching him
A victim literally escaped Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment naked with a hole drilled in his head and unable to speak but police let Dahmer take him back to his apartment like everything was ok!
And I guess he doesn’t count as a serial killer but Eric Harris had already been making threats and harrassing students to an extreme degree before Columbine- police literally had a search warrant but they just never acted on it. If they had, they would have found the guns and pipe bombs and the shooting could have been easily prevented. They even tried to cover this up afterwards.
Serial killers and mass murders are usually not that smart, police have just historically refused to do their actual jobs.
always remember that the “genius serial killer” narrative is a blatant cover for the fact that the police will always look the other way when it comes to white cis men exhibiting blatantly violent and hateful behavior
Important to remember that people like Jeffrey dahmer targeted minorities because cops did not care about violence against them. It’s not just cops being incompetent, it’s the systematic violence, racism, classism, transphobia, and homophobia in the police system
Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have been “walked” to where they are displayed.

Finally. People need to realize aliens aren’t the answer for everything (when they use it to erase poc civilizations and how smart they were)

What’s really wild is that the native people literally told the Europeans “they walked” when asked how the statues were moved. The Europeans were like “lol these backwards heathens and their fairy tales guess it’s gonna always be a mystery!”
Maori told Europeans that kiore were native rats and no one believed them until DNA tests proved it
And the Iroquois told Europeans that squirels showed them how to tap maple syrup and no one believed them until they caught it on video
Oral history from various First Nations tribes in the Pacific Northwest contained stories about a massive earthquake/tsunami hitting the coast, but no one listened to them until scientists discovered physical evidence of quakes from the Cascadia fault line.
Roopkund Lake AKA “Skeleton Lake” in the Himalayas in India is eerie because it was discovered with hundreds of skeletal remains and for the life of them researchers couldn’t figure out what it was that killed them. For decades the “mystery” went unsolved.
Until they finally payed closer attention to local songs and legend that all essentially said “Yah the Goddess Nanda Devi got mad and sent huge heave stones down to kill them”. That was consistent with huge contusions found all on their neck and shoulders and the weather patterns of the area, which are prone to huge & inevitably deadly goddamn hailstones. https://www.facebook.com/atlasobscura/videos/10154065247212728/
Literally these legends were past down for over a thousand years and it still took researched 50 to “figure out” the “mystery”. 🙄
Adding to this, the Inuit communities in Nunavut KNEW where both the wrecks of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were literally the entire time but Europeans/white people didn’t even bother consulting them about either ship until like…last year.
“Inuit traditional knowledge was critical to the discovery of both ships, she pointed out, offering the Canadian government a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when Inuit voices are included in the process.
In contrast, the tragic fate of the 129 men on the Franklin expedition hints at the high cost of marginalising those who best know the area and its history.
“If Inuit had been consulted 200 years ago and asked for their traditional knowledge – this is our backyard – those two wrecks would have been found, lives would have been saved. I’m confident of that,” she said. “But they believed their civilization was superior and that was their undoing.”
“Oh yeah, I heard a lot of stories about Terror, the ships, but I guess Parks Canada don’t listen to people,” Kogvik said. “They just ignore Inuit stories about the Terror ship.”
Schimnowski said the crew had also heard stories about people on the land seeing the silhouette of a masted ship at sunset.
“The community knew about this for many, many years. It’s hard for people to stop and actually listen … especially people from the South.”
Indigenous Australians have had stories about giant kangaroos and wombats for thousands of years, and European settlers just kinda assumed they were myths. Cut to more recently when evidence of megafauna was discovered, giant versions of Australian animals that died out 41 000 years ago.
Similarly, scientists have been stumped about how native Palm trees got to a valley in the middle of Australia, and it wasn’t until a few years ago that someone did DNA testing and concluded that seeds had been carried there from the north around 30 000 years ago… aaand someone pointed out that Indigenous people have had stories about gods from the north carrying the seeds to a valley in the central desert.
oh man let me tell you about Indigenous Australian myths - the framework they use (with multi-generational checking that’s unique on the planet, meaning there’s no drifting or mutation of the story, seriously they are hardcore about maintaining integrity) means that we literally have multiple first-hand accounts of life and the ecosystem before the end of the last ice age
it’s literally the oldest accurate oral history of the world.
Now consider this: most people consider the start of recorded history to be with the Sumerians and the Early Dynastic period of the Egyptians. So around 3500 BCE, or five and a half thousand years ago These highly accurate Aboriginal oral histories originate from twenty thousand years ago at least
Ain’t it amazing what white people consider history and what they don’t?
I always said disservice is done to oral traditions and myth when you take them literally. Ancient people were not stupid.
I like the GIF because it looks like they’re taking him to a surprise birthday party 😊

I can understand not wanting to get pregnant or have kids but y'all do not need to take that out on pregnant people themselves
Why the hell would you look at a woman who's pregnant and say "wow a creampie in this economy" or only think of them as people who've been nutted in. Why do you see someone whos pregnant and start thinking of the sex they have. Why would you call their babies parasites, do you really think she's just a host that's being fed on against her will? Why would you call their children crotch gremlins/goblins. I shouldnt have to explain why that's fucked up. Why would you go into detail about all the ways a pregnancy can go wrong to a pregnant woman like why do some of yall enjoy deliberately fear mongering about pregnancy and distressing pregnant women. What the fuck is the matter with you people
We earnestly and aggressively need to stop letting Christians monopolize conversations around the definition of marriage, you know that thing that cultures all over the world do?
“Marriage is a Christian ceremony.” No. It’s really not. There are cultures all over the world that practice it and there is a political and civil definition outside of that. You’re just boring, insulated, and likely not invited to these things for a reason.
Shocker for a culture defined by taking and forced assimilation, this isn’t about you or your god. At least not in a way that matters. It’s more about allowing biracial families raise their kids or allowing someone see their SO in the hospital.

Most of the “anti British memes” are just classism anti poor memes cause you ever noticed the but the of jokes are always accent’s associated with working class brits
Whenever the rich brits are mentioned it’s always in a positive manner like “ooo it’s such a cool dark academy vibe” or “oh I love there accents so formal and polite”
Like your not anti British your just classist
not just accents, but everything associated with the difference in lifestyle.
poshness is lightly mocked, but stately homes and aristocratic heritage are "cool and quirky" and desired (particularly by people in the US)
while council flats, "rough manners", and cheap staple foods are targeted over and over. and more that I'm forgetting.
Exactly 100%
