The most INFURIATING part of Web3's current trajectory is that the current dominant system is oriented towards speculative plutocracy (rule of those with the most crypto) rather than as a tool to break the bourgeois chains of capitalism; a tool to free the people.

There's no such thing as anti-war right.

U.S. poised to strike military targets in Venezuela in escalation against Maduro regime By Antonio María Delgado Updated October 31, 2025 1:22 PM Gift Article The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald, as the U.S. prepares to initiate the next stage of its campaign against the Soles drug cartel. The planned attacks, also reported by the Wall Street Journal, will seek to destroy military installations used by the drug-trafficking organization the U.S. says is headed by Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and run by top members of his regime.

In short, sex fundamentalists claim trans women steal womanhood. If it’s purely biological, as they insist, personal expression can’t touch it. Claiming it can be stolen admits womanhood’s a social construct, gutting their own logic.

A common argument sexfundamentalists (extremists who believe that one's reproductive biology should determine their basic freedoms) is that trans women are in "woman-face" or otherwise misappropriating "womanhood."

This is incorrect and here's why:

1

Yayael (Politics) @yyutopian.bsky.social · 12h

If they claim that womanhood can be "mocked" by adopting feminine cultural presentations, then their strictly biological definition becomes a social construct argument, which directly contradicts their "biological" stance.

2. If womanhood, as they claim, is distinctly biological, then it is impossible to "capture" womanhood through personal expression, making "womanface" nothing more than a baseless sex-conformist insult hurled at people who exercise their right to personal identity.

There are two main issues with their claims:

1. Their comparison fails because "race" is a *social construct* (i.e. NOT biological) revolving around the idea that people with different skin colors are distinct subspecies from one another instead of mere melanin variations.

"Womanface" is a comparison akin to blackface (the act of portraying oneself as a CARICATURE of a black person for the purpose of mocking them.)

One of their core positions is that everything regarding the "adult human female" experience is inherently biological(and NOT cultural.)

Yayael (Politics) @yyutopian.bsky.social · 12h

"Womanhood" is the cultural experiences attached to people who society sees as women.

"Womanface" is the idea that that someone whom society identifies as a man can misappropriate womanhood by adopting culturally feminine presentations, or identifying themself as a woman.

What do I mean by that?

A social construct is an idea/category created by people in a society whose meaning/reality is shaped by cultural norms and human interactions.

"Womanhood" is a social construct because its meaning is shaped by the individuals that participate in a society.

Mind you, this definition makes no claim of any cultural implications, or social constructs.

"Womanface" and "womanhood", however, are *social constructs*, not biological realities, much to the chagrin of the sexfundamentalist ideologues.

Strictly sticking to this definition, it can be said that one cannot change the way they developed IN THE MOTHER'S UTERUS. This is how they claim that one's developed reproductive biology is unchangeable and thus should determine your basic freedoms as a human being.

According to the sexfundamentalist, a woman is an sexually mature (adult) homo-sapiens (human) whose reproductive biology DEVELOPED IN UTERO towards the capacity to host large gametes(eggs) making it so that they are capable of bearing children. (female)

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

The arguments over whether Trump is already a dictator seem to miss a key point: He thinks he's a dictator and no one is disabusing him of the notion.

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.

Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 1d

In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.

No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.

We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.

The image is a two-panel comic.

In the first panel, there's a large figure with orange skin and yellow hair (trump). The text says, "stop immigration so we can take care of our own."

In the second panel, a small figure with a red cap is saying, "i'm starving," while trump responds, "I need a ballroom."

To add to my original point:

The Nazis specifically portrayed the Jews as ultra wealthy subhumans who controlled the poor Germans.

They used the idea of WEALTHY to rally support from destitute germans.

This is one example of how class symbolism is a prominent motif in their propaganda.

The bottom of the hierarchy is "un-germans", which Jews were a part of.

You dehumanize for revenge, you wage war (against the countries that defeated you in the first war) for revenge, and you enforce a strict social hierarchy to enact cultural revenge.

Yayael (Politics) @yyutopian.bsky.social · 2d

You do not "save" a civilization by dehumanizing your constituents. You do not save a civilization by becoming war hungry, and you certainly don't save a civilization by becoming enemies with those who kicked your ass.

This is why it is a pretext and not the "primary" reason.

Yayael (Politics) @yyutopian.bsky.social · 2d

Hitler chose the jews as a scapegoat because antisemitism was widely popular.

"Saving German Civilization" was the pretext they used to enact societal scale revenge against those they deemed non-german.

I read basic theory.

I did not say they stole from jews because they were poor, I said that they stole from the jews because they were at the bottom of the hierarchy.
