Really smart thread: Make categories and replace outrage with categorization.
🧵I think we need to talk about *waves hands wildly in all directions* differently.
I see 3 goals:
-Dismantling democracy+systems of accountability
-Advancing white supremacist policies here+abroad
-Immiserating non-billionaires for financial gain
Each action is toward those one/all of those goals.

So if I'm getting the chronology right, Trump/Musk & minions gutted the FBI in time for a Friday night news dump, hours ahead of launching their long-promised trade war. I hate to ascribe to them anything like careful thought but *wink* "they won't be talking about the FBI on Monday!" comes to mind.

Dear cis people,
Please, for the love of G-d, stop using the terms "biological male" and "biological female." They're scientifically meaningless. Sex is a bimodal cluster categorization. The brain is biological, no? There is no one factor that's universally determinative of sex and gender.

Videogame categorization is so funny sometimes, like "Survival Horror" is entirely different from "Crafting Survival" is entirely different from "Survivors-like"

Nothing says pride like BINARY GENDER CATEGORIZATION.
not an item but it's so funny to say 'wear what makes you happy' immediately above links to the gendered sections of the website. with all peace and love, please read a book.

And, yeah, can't exactly disagree with this categorization either. It definitely wouldn't have gone so viral if even folks neck-deep in said communities hadn't instantaneously recognized the tendencies on display.

netflix categorizes transformers, dracula, ghostbusters, and eternal sunshine of the spotless mind as all in the same broad genre: “sci-fi & fantasy” and that has to be the most useless categorization i can imagine

This is why being anti-trans is such a recruitment pipeline for the hard right, imo: if you can challenge your place on the gender hierarchy or in binary categorization, maybe all hierarchy and categorization is fake and malleable and needs to be defended and enforced at all levels.
kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

How does it go, again?

2. Modernity is bad.
3. America is good.
West Coasters deny (1). East Coasters deny (3). Great Lakes deny (2).
