I am tired of scrolling through YouTube shorts and seeing beefy conspiratorial clowns declare cooked food and vaccines and the very presence of a foreign person to be anathema to their delusional vision of a perfect, homogenous, walled-off society.

people can transition, should transition, and successfully have transitioned for completely frivolous reasons. this does not make them tourists, it means they answer to a god whose language neither you nor they speak. they should command more rather than less respect for it
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

hot take? a lot of liberals are simply disgusted by queerness. a lot of queer expression is found in porn and kink. they're not going to admit how much the thought of queer sex, identity, or expression bother them but they're happy to be passive fascists and do nothing while porn is attacked.
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?
