There are so many feminisms but liberal feminism is among the worst

We live in a society

@aral Fair. But me, I like engaging! My parents are liberals. I used to be a liberal. It's frustrating to me that no amount of politesse seems sufficient to overcome the mental block.

Note for the liberals playing #WhackATroll on here as you continuously block people to your left:

"Trolling" is not when someone disagrees with you politically. The elements of trolling are threefold:

1. Inflammatory
2. Dishonesty
3. For shits and giggles

Just because your ass is inflamed doesn't mean you got trolled.

It's #BlackHistoryMonth, and in 2024 I'm reflecting on the fact that although I've known about Walter Rodney and his seminal work "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" for years, it wasn't until I started reading it last year that I found out that Rodney was assassinated by his own Guyanese government in a car bombing. He was 38.

I'm obligated to point out to fellow white people, in case you missed it, the trend of white people lionizing a heroic Black person in a show of solidarity while studiously ignoring the vicious violence enacted against that person by the powers that be.

Also, Rodney was banned from Jamaica and from his teaching position at the University of the West Indies in Mona, Jamaica. This caused protests that escalated to riots in Kingston in 1968. Part of the wave of protests that swept the world from that year to the next.

Anyway, please read Rodney.
And/or about Rodney. https://web.archive.org/web/20041105060409/http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/%7Emarto/pbs/roberts.htm

Fuck, I got a #FF shout-out from Bread and Circuses. Better do that intro I've been meaning to (re) do! Hello, new followers! :heart_pride:

Who am I: a lady, a bitch, a woman, a human. Cisgender, queer, white. Living in New York, where I was born, but I have traveled. Doing my best to support my Darling Nonbinary Spouse in their challenges being one of very few Black people in our community. Currently working as a drafter of soil/water conservation infrastructure. Before that, I bounced around a lot. Did construction and childcare and food service and data entry and more.

What you can expect from me: PLENTY boosts. I see it, I like it, I boost. Regular posts about #ClimateChange, #Degrowth, #GreenBuilding, and related topics. Commentary about social justice. Some news, but more opinion, about USA and NYS politics. I tag these (USpol/NYpol), but don't CW them. Edit: almost forgot to mention: I'm an anarchist apparently (I had to look it up) and I hate capitalism.

Other, less weighty stuff I like to talk about: #music of any genre. I'm developing the desire to become a DJ and collect vinyl, somebody stop me! #Crochet and fiber arts. #SciFi, #SpecFic. Not a skilled shitposter but I do appreciate the art form.

Fair warning: I like to argue. If you don't enjoy seeing someone go back and forth with mildly offensive bootlickers from time to time, I may not be your cup of tea. And don't worry about my mental health WRT arguments, to my brain a good argument is a lot like a good video game.

That's my #introduction! Ask me anything.

"OMG Trump called his domestic enemies vermin! This is a lot like Hitler, who called his domestic enemies rats!"

Listen, you're not wrong. But let's not forget how USA propaganda called Japanese-Americans "vermin," yes, in that exact wording, and compared them to insects as well as rodents, to justify the Japanese internment camps. How USA propaganda called Italian immigrants rats (anarchist rats at that!) to justify cutting off immigration from there.

Yes, you should be alarmed. I'm not saying don't be alarmed. I'm saying you're not alarmed enough. #fascism #fascismUSA #pol #USpol
