Hell, even in The Matrix they were going to have Switch be an explicitly trans character but got blocked by a producer.

I really want to try a bunch of slurs out

This is surely the most rational reaction to being slightly inconvenienced by a word filter.

I think this post is more about the “key aviation safety advisory committee” being gutted right before the worst air disaster in over a decade.

It also wasn’t a peaceful democratic movement. My point is merely that a lot of people who don’t know anything write extremely confidently on this and every other topic related to communist history.

your misuse of the word literally in this post figuratively gave me an aneurysm.

more recently expressed complete authority over such as Taiwan

What complete authority does the PRC have over Taiwan? Their position now is the same as its been for seventy years - they consider it part of their country but exercise no actual control over it.

The entire country tried to revolt in 1984 and millions of citizens were killed by their own military

Literally nobody claims that millions died, that’s flat earth levels of alternate reality.

Naw the same shit happens on Reddit and Facebook and every other place that isn’t TikTok or XHS. There’s a chart that shows Americans’ opinion of China being more or less 50/50 until 2015ish and then turning sharply negative after the trade war/propaganda blitz against them that started during Trump’s first term.

Americans have the most individualist “fuck you I got mine” ladder-pulling-upist culture in the entire world. Maybe someday we’ll have a cultural revolution and come out the other side less anti-social, but in the meantime if you want anything done in this country you’ve got to convince people that there’s something in it for them.

politics is a battle of voting for the less shitty option so you can take baby steps toward something better.

Every single time Dems have won since Carter, we have been baby stepping towards something worse. The victories for gay rights under Obama were a brief outlier in our country’s otherwise uninterrupted march towards fascism.

If people want to get excited, they should go to a theme park.

Welcome to America!

If they have a shred of civil responsibility

lmao

you were gay if your index finger was shorter than your ring finger

And then when they hold up their hand to check, you slap it into their face.
