Let’s have a big sustained shitstorm about Trump condoning spousal battery, yeah? Can we do that for old time’s sake and not skip straight to fatalism?
Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

I am firmly anti-fatalism.
You’re telling me there is nothing to be done, that there is only submission and acceptance? How am I, how are we to believe that nothing can be done about this madness? What kind of irresponsible fatalism is this?

What drives me crazy is the fatalists, strongly defending their fatalism, while calling me delusional for having any hope. Then suggesting that I‘m just not paying attention to the truth that we’re all f***ed. I will NEVER give in to fatalism.

Bisexual woman whipping out 'female socialization' because she thinks it makes her sound woke. Reading articles on heteropessimism/fatalism has been incredible and revealing.
