  • God it’s like I can hear how white you are.

    It literally is a statement that the interests of black and queer folks are contrary to the interests of “tHe WoRkInG cLaSs” to continue shitting on them without any expectation to be better because poor white people and straight people also participate in systemic oppression.

    As for Bernie, people didn’t turn out to vote for him, and he lost because of it, end of story. There was a bias against him from the democratic establishment, but acting like that absolves his supporters of having the turnout energy of cosmic background radiation is deflection of the fucking first order, and suggesting that Trump happened as some kind of punishment of the DNC establishment for not throwing out their own damn vote tallies and just handing the guy who’s not even a party member the nomination because some quixotic white kids got especially loud about it just reeks of the kind of privilege that is exactly what I was suspecting earlier.

    Like fuck man, you just spouted off ranting about your god given right to just give up and let everyone around you bite it like it’s an indication of anything but your own abject failure as a human being with an allegedly functioning sense of empathy.

    You’re not smarter than everyone else because you want to blame everyone else for you not wanting to do anything to help, you’re just a wordier sort of dickwad.

    Rot and die on your own time jackass.








  • It ain’t ghoulish to point out that theocrats aren’t part of liberation you fucking twat.

    “Critical support to the spanish inquisition in their struggle against wester imperialism!”

    That’s you, that’s what you’re trying to do whenever you try to act like the houthis deserve anything but to get shit on for what they’ve done to their own people, nevermind the civilians they’re murdering for happening to be in the region.



  • I mean spotting it in only 3 days feels like a pretty big feat in of itself, unless this kid had access to a database on one particular star’s brightening and dimming or it’s potential weeble wobbling about, he did in 3 days what usually takes weeks at a minimum if it’s a planet the size of jupiter or bigger.



  • I liked the imagery of the torch better too but I got a few comments about it being hard to discern without knowing what it’s supposed to be, and even while knowing what it’s supposed to be.

    I caught the arrow symbols while rewatching Extra History’s series on Hiawatha and the Haudenosaunee Confederation, and felt it would make for an interesting conditional design that’d be easier for me to do and still have it be easily recognizeable.

    If I could do the torch cleanly though, I’d probably go back to that since it’s the main part of what conveys the “nation of immigrants” part of the overall design message.



  • The only way someone could pretend they’re the same is if they’re either well outside where the differences are clearest, or they just aren’t paying attention and getting all their news from someone from the first category.

    “Both sides same” and any attempt to act like there’s a dimension where it totally applies trust ne bro is a position fundamentally rooted in the privilege to feel a negligible difference between annoyingly status quo adherent centrists and actual goddamned fascists.

    Not to mention how that specific meme implies queer folks and black people aren’t a part of the working class, which just kinda gives the whole game away with what a lot of people in american right wing politics, and a depressing number of self proclaimed progressives and leftists, are actually saying whenever they bemoan that we’re not paying enough attention to the working class instead of tackling social equity issues.



  • cared more for keeping the country together than the interests of PoC

    You say that as if the country staying together wasn’t one million percent in the interest of all the black folks that separatism was sparked for the explicit purpose of keeping enslaved.

    You strike me as the kind of person who thinks the answer to frustration with democratic status-quo on Israel right now is to let the guy who served them West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Golan Heights on a silver platter back into office, either because you’re bad at math or because you think looking like you’re bad at math is better than getting called out for being a fucking traitor and collaborationist.

    Yep, at least there’s the solace of knowing that the moment from “something’s wrong” to crunch went by so fast that the passengers probably didn’t even hear so much as a strained groan from the frame before they were all canned person paste.

    Just imagine being that kid, one minute you’re sitting nervous on a sub because your dad begged you into coming, and the next you blink twice and are suddenly yelling at him for being a moron in the afterlife with little more than a sudden change in scenery to clue you in to what just happened.
