The real damage is done by those millions who want to ‘survive.’ The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of … Continue reading

stop fucking calling all lesbians dykes (ex. “an older dyke”, “many of the awesome dykes”), especially if you’re not a lesbian. “lesbian” is a label that exists and it’s rude and disrespectful to use a slur to refer to a broad group of people who you don’t personally know. that should honestly be obvious.

solitarelee: sarahsyna: iron-sunrise: queeranarchism: mautlyn: comcastkills: queeranarchism: When I say ‘dykes’, I mean ‘dykes’. As in: people who identify as dykes.  In the post you’re refering to I made it quite clear that I was writing about dykes I  know and when I speak of these dykes I won’t erase or sanitize their identities by using a … Continue reading stop fucking calling all lesbians dykes (ex. “an older dyke”, “many of the awesome dykes”), especially if you’re not a lesbian. “lesbian” is a label that exists and it’s rude and disrespectful to use a slur to refer to a broad group of people who you don’t personally know. that should honestly be obvious.

Exploitation racism vs. competition racism

Food for thought: according to sociologist W.F. Wertheim, racism generally manifests in 2 forms: exploitation racism and competition racism. Exploitation racism looks down on a group and is targetted at groups that are subjugated. Exploitation racism is designed to continue their subjugation. Stereotypes include low intelligence, laziness, childlikeness and these characteristics are presented as racially … Continue reading Exploitation racism vs. competition racism

an-ally-says-what: swolerbear: twenty-one-fnaf-iplier: swolerbear: Forced pregnancy is literal torture. Can someone please explain forced pregnancy a little more? I don’t understand why or how this happens, and I’d like to know more. In this instance, I’m specifically referring to abortion laws, but it also comes into play with reproductive abuse in which someone forces another … Continue reading

Those who receive benefits or any other kind of government aid are often accused of ’dependency’.  This ignores our fundamental interdependency as human beings, where none of us grow all our own food, make our own clothes, pave our own roads, process our own garbage.  But it also ignores that nothing creates dependency quite like … Continue reading

Canada doesn’t interfere much in the world, it doesn’t elect crazy nationalists, it doesn’t threaten to deport people. It champions multiculturalism and tolerance. Canada is exceptional.

allthecanadianpolitics: mon-t-real: justsomeantifas: There is so much to unpack here. “Canada doesn’t interfere much in the world” Except when it’s selling weapons to repressive regimes like Saudi Arabia. Or when it’s overthrowing democracies in countries like Haiti and Honduras for its own benefit. Or when Canadian-owned companies are wreaking havoc in Latin America by trampling … Continue reading Canada doesn’t interfere much in the world, it doesn’t elect crazy nationalists, it doesn’t threaten to deport people.

ectoimp: scarimor: lupinatic: rhodanum: alarajrogers: intersex-ionality: So I’m going to be bitter and old here for a minute. The absolute refusal to allow anyone to use queer as an umbrella is both novel and regressive (I know, I know). For decades, queer was an accepted and neutral way to concisely refer to a coalition of … Continue reading
