I think there's also sort of a mechanism of cultural inbreeding that characterisee certain classes of society. The managerial class has vastly become business idiots raised by business idiots raised by business idiots. With every generation any connection they might have with normalcy degrades more.
the conversation over Iced Coffee isn't about iced coffee it's about the social contract breaking down younger ppl have seen that employers are not upholding their end of the bargain (stable career) so they're not bothering to uphold theirs (playing the stupid corporate social games)
I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

used to hang out at this bar whose other regulars were mostly straight middle aged men and my god their drama. most of em were banned for pissing on the floor or stealing fistfuls of cash from the register. for some reason no one acted like it was a referendum on straightness maleness or ‘the left’

"[i want you to] enjoy the [concentration/ death] camps" = explicitly declared by head of T&S to be acceptable speech

"i need him to [get eaten by piranhas]" = explicitly declared by moderator action to be unacceptable violent speech

WHAT could the distinction be here
Wow its so crazy how this only seems to happen to trans people and not the side wishing LITERAL GENOCIDE on us.

#freethebugs is back ig. Let my friend out of mod jail. This is so ridiculous.

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing
Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?”

Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Thinking about that narrative after the gulf war that the gulf war was good because it made Americans feel better about ourselves.

We did the highway of death to feel better about ourselves, don't you know?

We can't even do that to Iran anymore, gotta hit the trannies and the sick.

Materially, it is becoming clearer and clearer that the wealthy elite are not gonna be punished for what they've done; and hell, even the middle managers of all of this are gonna walk; so there is real profit to be made performatively punishing people that can still be punished.

Every "reasonable concern" has at least one multi-year study debunking it, including:
- Fair Sports Participation
- Puberty Blocker Usage
- Social Transition Effects
- Bathroom Safety
- Prison Housing Safety
- Harmful HRT Effects
- Transition Regret

This is about hurting us, not protecting anyone.

I want nothing more than to only ever talk about video games. I legit can't do that while me and mine are slowly being pushed beyond the margins of modern society by callous and uncaring bigots who refuse to learn a single fucking thing about us before condemning us.

"Dems out there trying to transphobia their way out of these numbers"

I don't think that people have properly grappled with the possibility that elected Dems and Dem candidates are out there doing transphobia because they legitimately don't believe trans lives are of equal worth.

Right hates trans people - most public go "it's the right, they're nuts".
So-called left join in - "Well now, what's going on, there must be an issue if they agree!"

It's why the Guardian/Labour going anti-trans is, ultimately, more much more harmful than the Times/Telegraph/Tories doing it.
Political winds do not only flow from voters to politicians, they go in reverse as well.

Democrats running ads like these signal to the general public and their voter base that this issue now has support by both parties, and that hating trans people is publicly acceptable.

They do harm to us.
