Fucked up that Hitler leads the nazi party to popularity based on an anti-communist pledge, stamps out communists and other leftist groups, privatizes industries, raves about how much he hates communists and then 90 years later some nerd on twitter thinks they *were* communists
I'm confident that McCarthyism was actually a communist plot. I'm sure of it, just listen to the one time McCarthy said he cared for an american worker?? SOUNDS PRETTY COMMIE TO ME
right-wingers who claim that the nazis were lefties have no regard for the actual science of history and only want to propagandize. Once someone makes that claim they lose all credibility and might as well say the moon landing was fake or that mars is made out cheese
"the nazis were socialists because it's in the name, but they weren't nationalists even though it's in the name. I'm very smart and rational, give me oil money plz for my fake internet university"
anyway, I think fascists should minecraft

The British empire was an unambiguous evil entity from its start all the way to its end. This is common knowledge outside of British universities and outside of racist colonial believers.
By every metric the empire made the world it ruled worse.
Extracting wealth from the world to pool in Britain using violence, slavery, concentration camps and genocide did not somehow make the victims of this into better citizens of the world. Instead it destroyed the cultural and living history of hundreds of millions.
If you think the British empire was a worldly good you are wrong. It's the historical equivalent of saying the sky is brown. It's not only wrong its one of the most wrong things you can be about anything in history. It's equivalent to genocide denial.
I'm sorry but there's a big leap between "it's kinda nice that the environment is helped by this crisis. Some good news out of all this bad"
And
"ecofascism is good actually and all the poor people should die"
I've seen a ton of people call folks ecofascists because they comment on that a river is clear. Not even saying that people are the problem or anything like that, literally just "hey, it's neat that the water is clearer now"
Like, due to the crisis people are indoors more, less travel is happening and the systems that usually pollute a lot have changed due to virus mitigation. Sometimes people just like seeing some good news out of all this shit.
Everyone is against eurocentrism until it comes to analyzing oral history and then suddenly that's not a "reliable" source
yea bro, this book that was written by some monk 250 years after the events halfway across the continent is sure to be much more accurate source of information
Oral history is extremely valuable source of *actual* history but because fuckheads exist they haven't been respected in history at all.
Trans women are so often placed upon pedestals and then hounded after for anything. this is about Contrapoints
Listen, I don't agree with Natalie about a lot of things when it comes to gender and sexuality. but.
Some of the response I've seen recently have been flat out misogynistic. It's possible to deal with a phrasing or take you don't agree with, without actually being transphobic.
I've seen so many "This is why we don't trust trans women" takes. Like, come on
How many takes of "trans women have male privilege, which is why they act like this" that refer to Natalie do I have to see today? How many of you are gonna call trans women men whenever they don't do what you want?
re: A vice article about straight men attracted to trans women, and some related discourse around that. This has *nothing* at all to do with any other YouTuber, this is specifically based on the discourse around the vice article. Don't fake drama.
Thread:
There is a culture of shame among men who are attracted to trans women. There is fear of being seen as "gay" or "not as manly" or whatever if you were to date a trans woman.
There is also a lot of transphobia directed at trans women.
So some men, sometimes, will murder or abuse trans women they meet for fear of being seen as "lesser" or a man, because trans women are often seen as a lesser form of woman.
The case against Caster Semenya is a dangerous precedent. The only way she is allowed to keep competing in sport, due to her naturally high testosterone, would be negative doping.
This is absurd and has strangely also led to transphobic harassment towards Caster
This is despite Caster not even being trans in the first place. She's a cis woman, by all accounts. But now, due to scaremongering about testosterone levels, a cis woman now has to undergo medications to artifically *lower* her *naturally* occuring testosterone levels to compete.
The ruling is so specifically targeted at her it might as well mention her by name in the new rules about testosterone levels.
It's *wild* to be that natural biological variations within a sex is so scary to some people that they will gladly exclude anyone who doesn't fit.
