I find it perfectly insane that people talk about gender identity at all, far less he/she/they, as if referring to people by their sex was representative of some deep feeling or conformation to a stereotype or norm, rather than simply acknowledging factual sexual dimorphism. “I don’t feel like a man or woman” what do you meeeeeaaaan, being a man or a woman isn’t about feelings it’s about plumbing and biological inheritance passed down from a billion years of reproductive strategy, things that aren’t subject to any feelings.

STEVEN UNIVERSE: THE MOVIE thread

Before we get started, let me get the reader up to speed on what the Steven Universe universe has taught us all so far. Get you up to speed on the plot and the themes. In the Steven Universe universe, earth was invaded a few thousand years ago by sentient computers that live in gemstones. The gems can project a hard-light hologram around themselves and interact with the outside world. End of interesting concepts.

Once again, I find that @Maarblek is ahead of me in analysis. As he said a while ago: The only goal the left has now or has ever had is the liquidation of the kulaks (small property owners). This makes sense of the class alignments we see, and the left’s historic failures. It’s a funny thing that two classes of people tend to join the left: The managerial class, and the lumpenproletariat. In modern terms: tech/educated class + the perpetually precariously employed / job hopper. What do they have in common? They would seem to be class enemies.
