England is a US vassal state and you’re all part of the rebel alliance and traitors!

Me when I named my dog “cat” when I was 5
and like all the people posting in the thread saying that were also trans
I thought it was also that the admin isn’t the worst on her own, but she was slow to respond as an admin to quell the issues at hand.
kind of, biggest issue is not banning chasers and transphobes
she seemed nice but allowed chasers & transphobes to flourish on her site. she also allowed a bad faith mod of her largest community to actively sabotage the site, so i hope she figures all that shit out.
The idea that someone needs to explain what a blahaj is in $CURRENT_YEAR is sure a trip.
wasn’t blahaj.zone defending chasers?
Yeah
Yes. The admin of blahaj.zone was literally defending chasers & banning trans people who were trying to warn others about how to avoid being abused by chasers. Definition of unsafe environment.
and they failed to ban or punish a user that accused our trans comrades of faking being trans.
i’m starting to notice a common theme with these libs
We had a black president! Levels of posting.
They always tote this out like it ends all arguments
It’s on the level of “What do you mean gay people are oppressed in America, look at all those corporate pride logos!”
Next you’re going to accuse Obama of being racist against black people and Zelensky antisemeitic
am I literally Hitler because I don’t think “comrade” and “fae” make sense when used as pronouns?
Yes, next question.
Every single time
I don’t get neopronouns, but I recognize that I haven’t taken the time to educate myself on the subject (
), so I listen instead of taking issue with something that doesn’t even affect me. It’s easy, folks!I feel the same way. I’m old. I have accepted I barely understand anything anyway. But it takes zero effort to be accommodating and not be a dick to somebody.
I hope someone with a neo-pronoun executes me for being reactionary so I can die happy.
LOL
I have said it over and over:
it is collectively the site’s wish that one day we are all put up against the wall by the next generations for being insufficiently left-wing to them
ok i pull up

Also that niko dunk emoji is the greatest.
update: trans people are too attractive for beauty contests, too smart to play chess, too strong, tall, and fast to be a professional athlete, always have the moral high ground, can cause floods, alter the environment of the planet single handedly, and can kill god.
God is dead. And we have killed HER 😇
How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?
Transifa supersoldiers
there’s a graf writer in my city who goes by Transtifa lmao
A full JRPG party of transwarriors is an unstoppable godslaying force
GORL SMASH!
As this tiny trans girl just bricks a tank with one punch
Give us what we want (E/T or whatever) or we WILL kill another god this time.
they are also 30% of the US, according to Americans, alongside the 20% that are millionaires
wait they seriously think 20% of trans people are millionaires
Nah there was a survey of what Americans think the US demographics are. The responses were something like 30% Muslim, 30% trans, and 20% millionaires
I think from these numbers I could guess that around 1/3 is the lowest number an American can consider while keeping it statistically relevant
It’s wild that the liberal take from 2016 is that Russian disinformation is the only reason people oppose democrats.
EDIT: I accidentally clicked on the text and quoted it
We demonstrate, first, that exposure to Russian disinformation accounts was heavily concentrated: only 1% of users accounted for 70% of exposures. Second, exposure was concentrated among users who strongly identified as Republicans. Third, exposure to the Russian influence campaign was eclipsed by content from domestic news media and politicians. Finally, we find no evidence of a meaningful relationship between exposure to the Russian foreign influence campaign and changes in attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior.
what kind of komprömät do they have on you vlad?It’s wild how I never heard the word “kompromat” used until I watched this stupid ass BBC show called “Bodyguard” then suddenly everyone and their 78 year old grandma was saying it
You don’t even need scientific studies. Mainstream media - including the ones that originally propagated the Russiagate stories - admitted it was largely a ruse.
I have one tankie trying to unironically argue with me that the UK is a vassal state to the Us Empire
Noo! We used to rule the waves we cannot be a vassal noooooo!Like the he’s the rebel alliance that is bringing down the evil empire with lemmy shitposting
Please read even a single book that isn’t Harry Potter Im begging you.
Hah! Tankie you’ve fallen for my trap. I never referred to Harry Potter, only Star wars and that’s a movie!
i mean its basic historical knowledge that U.K. lost much of its power to the U.S. after WW2
100 bucks that this person is cis and their understanding of trans safe spaces doesn’t go further than “don’t openly advocate for their death”.
Remember that whole “how dare you try to reign my privatized colonial war profiteering monopoly in” East India Company squabble with England?
The UK basically loaned out its empire to the US, this happened during both world wars. I think South Africa even wanted to switch to the dollar?
yea they don’t realise everything was pegged to the dollar under Bretton Woods
Keynes’ proposals would have established a world reserve currency (which he thought might be called “bancor”) administered by a central bank vested with the power to create money and with the authority to take actions on a much larger scale.
In the case of balance of payments imbalances, Keynes recommended that both debtors and creditors should change their policies. As outlined by Keynes, countries with payment surpluses should increase their imports from the deficit countries, build factories in debtor nations, or donate to them—and thereby create a foreign trade equilibrium.[15] Thus, Keynes was sensitive to the problem that placing too much of the burden on the deficit country would be deflationary.
But the United States, as a likely creditor nation, and eager to take on the role of the world’s economic powerhouse, used White’s plan but targeted many of Keynes’s concerns. White saw a role for global intervention in an imbalance only when it was caused by currency speculation.
Although a compromise was reached on some points, because of the overwhelming economic and military power of the United States the participants at Bretton Woods largely agreed on White’s plan. White’s plan was designed not merely to secure the rise and world economic domination of the United States, but to ensure that as the outgoing superpower Britain would be shuffled even further from centre stage.[34]
Somebody explain to this “oatscoop” dingus what a chaser is
Seriously, we defedded from them because they (among other things) did not ban people for making threads about which surgeries make trans men undateable to them. I saw the thread where they discussed our callout of that, 90% of the posts started with “cis person here” and several immediately went into creeper territory and started discussing girldick (without any actual knowledge how a pre-OP trans woman’s dick works, ofc). Blahajzone isn’t a trans instance anymore, it has largely been taken over by insufferable cissie redditors when they accepted the r/196 lifeboat that ended up turning into 3/4 of their userbase and i pitty every trans person still holding out there.
i pitty every trans person still holding out there.
I wonder why they are even in there tbh. Like what’s the appeal at this point?
There are a lot of credulous teens there, which happens to be one of the favorite demographics of chasers
It’s very telling that they have to lie about us because 100 times out of ten we banned them for being bigoted and they can’t admit that, so they have to make up shit instead lmao
yeah like that one guy who came here to make a thread telling us to talk less about trans issues and then whined about how we banned him for “fake” accusations of transphobia
you’re all part of the rebel alliance
It’s over Lemmy.world! I have the high ground!
I have the moral high ground!
Wait, this works too well
I just genuinely do not understand how these fucking rubes seem to genuinely believe that Russia is somehow alone or uniquely powerful in terms of online propaganda or influence campaigns. Like I just want to sit down with these people face to face and try and see if they’ve even considered for one fucking second the idea that maybe literally every single national and private interest that exists, including their own country and corporations in it, are broadcasting propaganda online at a constant 24 hour basis.
They always have some lame shit like “w * ataboutism” to throw out there. Sometimes the mask slips, and they say something like “well, it’s good that my side is doing it” like that makes sabre rattling and more imperialism ok.
They can’t be reasoned with. Lord knows I’ve tried to show them sources. I still get destroyed for saying that Hillary literally gave us trump with the pied piper strategy. They also can’t handle the reality of the Mueller report. They’re back to “trump and Putler sat in smoky rooms, twittling their moustaches while plotting to destroy the earth!” There is no logical consistency in liberal ideology. It’s all about keeping the treats flowing.
It’s not propaganda! It’s “marketing”!
How are you going to sit down face to face with anybody when you’re a Russian bot?

Alt-right, far left – basically everything but Liberals and respectable Republicans like Mark Rubio is a Russian psy-op! You can’t get more left wing than me, a neo-con!
Seriously, though, the Russian government does not care what any of us think. General sentiment has no baring on US policy, why would you waste resources influencing it? The “alt-right” ascended to the “mainstream right” in America because young alt-right posters got jobs working for Republican campaigns. That happened on its own, nobody forced the RNC to give them jobs. Stop blaming our stupid stupid politics on some scary computer boogeyman an ocean away.
Because accepting that general sentiment has no baring on policy undermines their “we just need to
harder!” worldview.It does more than undermine it. It forces the question of what is to be done when a large chunk of your country (30%? 40%?) is braying for open fascism, another large chunk is at least fash-curious, and your precious laws and norms are utterly useless to stop them?
It’s probably closer to 20/25%. Half of US citizens don’t participate, and more than half of the people that do participate are pretty repulsed by our right-wing.
Yeah that’s probably a better estimate of how many people would openly support naked fascism.
eh, even then, I think I’m overestimating a bit. And a chunk of that would be fair-weather fascist, they’d only support it if it looked like it was going to be successful and there weren’t enough consequences for doing so.
The picture of an “Openly Fascist United States” just seems a little too… camp theater, if that makes sense. Like, in terms of our imperial policy, we’re already basically there. “Open Fascism” would just be bringing our international policy back home and implementing it here. And… I think there’d be a crisis of legitimacy before that happened, the country would break apart into regional factions. Those would be where capital-F Fascism, the sort that feeds people into an industrial slaughterhouse, would be at it’s most likely.
@geophysicist@discuss.tchncs.de claiming that queer people are faking it is incredibly uncool and offensive. Stop doing it. You would not claim that a black man isn’t really black because he says something you disagree with because you’d get knocked the hell out. Don’t claim people’s identities are fake because our politics are to the left of yours. You’re literally just abusing other lgbt people with that sentiment by essentially stating “unless your politics align with mine I will deny you the right to your gender”.
@oatscoop@midwest.social blahaj.zone did defend a transphobe, refusing to demod a person engaging in transphobia because they didn’t want to rock the boat and lose the activity of that community definitely unsafe for trans people. They make decisions in favour of activity over trans safety. Being trans or having a shork aesthetic is literally irrelevant to whether they make good decisions for trans people, you wouldn’t claim that Caitlyn Jenner is automatically safe for trans people by virtue of being trans, and if you would then you’re an idiot because she’d sacrifice trans lives for her wealth any day of the week.

That’s precisely what a Russian shill would say to try to obfuscate the issue. I would know, I learned about whataboutism and those tactics in my political science 101 class. I only had to take that class because its a required core elective for my STEMlord degree. So back the fuck off TANKIE!
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
Gottem!!
NAME AND SHAME! LETS FUCKING GO!You would not claim that a black man isn’t really black because he says something you disagree with because you’d get knocked the hell out.

@discuss.tchncs.de, @feddit.nl and @midwest.social the three horsemen of
liberalismLol, you guys are losers.
Defending trans people thoroughly and in all cases is not “loser” behaviour to anyone except transphobes.
Go play in traffic
Nah.
Btw, I’m trying to figure out what I should do with my starter house. I want to sell it, but I also have a coworker looking for a cheap place to live while they save up to buy. They don’t want to purchase it, but they were excited about the idea of renting for a year or two. I’m game because prices keep going up and I can sell it for more in a few years.
You guys all rent, so I was wondering: how much should I charge? Comparables around here are $900-1200/mo, but I don’t want to screw the guy.
$600/mo for a 2 bed 1 bath sounds fair, right? That pretty much covers taxes and maintenance while it accrues value.
Writing self insert fanfiction to show how much of a loser the other party is
Jesus, a transphobe, loser, and parasite.
You’re a landlord?
Oh man! What did it say? I’m sad I missed it
Tried to dunk but the funnier joke was themselves
The city of Berlin is expropriating property from landlords across the entire city.
You think you’re invincible, but the position on landlords will slowly mainstream elsewhere. Hope you’re not too attached to your property.
Ah, the “big” corperate landlords that own more than 3000 units, yeah. Screw those parasites, and good for Berlin.
Our legal system doesn’t allow taking private property without fair market compensation. Personally I’d be thrilled if the city saved me the hassle of selling it.

Don’t listen to these losers trying to keep us down. You and me are going to post out way out of this shithole lemmyverse. We’re going to post ourselves off the internet and become real boys.
Not even the mods will be able to stop us.

Hey, if you’re in the market in a year or two for a house give me a shout. It’s cute, affordable (projected around $100k), and in great shape. The neighbors are liberals like you and there’s even a local youth communist group – they like to meet up and shout at the cops when the city hosts events. You’d love it.
I just realized we no longer have the Moscow time on the side bar. How am I supposed to know when to take my break from shilling for Putler?
