I hope that a hundred years from now people talk about me as some kind of racist asshole. I don't want to be judged by the standards of my time. I want to be judged by a better world and found wanting, because that will require that better world.

“why do wokerati have to make everything about gender?”

I cry as my extended family and friends gather to watch me and my wife reveal the GOD GIVEN BINARY gender of our foetus by setting our woke neighbours house on fire with a giant pink explosion of girly pink smoke and fire and burning doves

We should all be better educated on the reproduction of oppressive ideologies, or false consciousness, or whatever we want to call the phenomenon of marginalized people choosing to negotiate with the hegemony to secure their own position within it, rather than standing with other oppressed people.

I am subtweeting repeated expressions of shock from progressives a women supports a misogynistic movement, or a Muslim express anti-LGBT beliefs, or a person of color upholds imperialist politics, to name but a few headlines I've seen discussed.

I abandoned 1984 halfway, will try to finish it but so far my review is that it sucks as a critique of Stalinism because so much space is devoted to waffles abt how self insert MC isn’t allowed to own a woman anymore and That’s Bad. Also the way he talks about class is so British (derogatory)

A Spooky Goose @anarchygoose.bsky.social · 9h

1984 is extremely clear its misogynistic portrayal of Julia as a hypocritical woman with no real political awareness or agency; her role in the plot is as a sex object who ultimately dooms the protagonist.

Orwell was not subtle in his opinions of women, they just aren't talked about much because...

The paradox of "men hate 'loose' women but also want to freely consume women's bodies without commitment" that has traditionally sorted women into Madonna/Whore seems to be being resolved as "replace all real sex workers with nonconsensual AI pornography of non-consenting celebrities"

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

It’s always “imagine living a 6/10 man in today’s society” and never “imagine living as a conventionally unattractive women in today’s society” like actually the men still have it better and are ignorant to gendered violence and its consequences

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

"transness is a bourgeois western decadence" is exactly the line used outside the West to deny *very local* trans people's right to exist, and it's kinda insane to see Western trans ppl say "yeah that's right"

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of Palestinian prisoners [hostages] & banned their families from giving interviews

Contrast that with the celebrations around the release of Israeli hostages & the many interviews being broadcast around the world.

The notion that those who took part in slavery or conquest were merely abiding by the moral standards of their time necessary excludes those they targeted and kidnapped from those standards; *they* were never confused about this. But other white people were frequently disgusted by this stuff too!

George Gantsoudes @pedsortho.bsky.social · 2d

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."
