Should American citizens do literally anything good for anyone ever even a tiny bit?

  • No
  • Definitely not
  • Why would you even suggest such a thing
[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 70 points 1 month ago

It would be the most benign thing I have ever paid for as an "american" citizen

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

no one even pays for it, the healthcare workers will be paid regardless of whether a detained undocumented immigrant gets a bottom surgery. at best, it could be argued that it takes time away from surgeries for documented citizens. but the amount of detained undocumented immigrants seeking GRS would be negligible.

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

I did my best 30 seconds of googling and found that in 2018, about 84000 illegal immigrants were incarcerated in the US. If we assume about 2% of them are trans, looking for reassignment, which I believe was the last percentage of US people identifying as trans, we're looking at like 2000 surgeries.

The horror!

Nice way of putting it to be honest

Remember when TYT was somewhat progressive? Now it's just pandering to chuds.

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 57 points 1 month ago

I don't even understand who their audience is anymore, I can't imagine a full on chud watching TYT but I also can't really imagine libs watching it

[-] buh@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago

I can't imagine a full on chud watching TYT

I actually do know chuds who watch TYT, and it's how they form their perception of "the left"

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

It's funny to see Dave Rubin first split off with his own chud show, then Jimmy Dore, and now TYT as a whole is going chud.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

I don’t think they’re going to make the full pivot to chud content. They’ll just end up like Bill Maher and continue to be anti-Republican while agreeing with them on nearly everything. Blue MAGA.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

same-picture to me sometimes, but you're right, there's a distinction between the two

My boss is a bluemaga TYT watcher, literally the only person I know of who fits the description.

[-] miz@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

needs to be preserved in a museum before TYT watchers go extinct. recommend embalming him

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

My gut says non-white CHUDs. Fox is a little too hateful to brown people, so there's a niche there.

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

This is what happens when you attach yourself to the democratic party - you start following it's course

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 52 points 1 month ago

Yes, obviously.

Providing healthcare is a core responsibility of the state.

[-] miz@hexbear.net 50 points 1 month ago

who is still watching TYT in 2024, and why

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Blue MAGA who are too young to watch MSNBC.

[-] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

My Gen X stepdad has been watching them religiously for the better part of a year. Every night I hear Cenk and Ana's voices booming from the TV for hours.

Bro I can't even get free bottom surgery and I'm a citizen, what the fuck are they even talking about

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

Yeah this is the engagement that's needed. I got a better one.... Should the young turks change their channels name?

Yeah, this is going to bring back all those subscribers Cenk.

Broke: They're taking our jobs!

Woke: They're taking our boob-jobs!

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 1 month ago

Yes.

But also, this isn't a real thing happening on any scale greater than literally one person.

This is one of those things that weirdo trans-fixated dumbasses on Twitter probably found one instance of happening and because "immigrant bad! (But not me!) transgender bad! Government spending bad!" to right wingers, it's something to pump forever with no significant pushback from the democrats. Great country. Wow. (now all of that is firmly shared by both pro-capitalist right wing US parties. They used to pretend to care about the first, half-ass acknowledgement of the second, and, well, they've always been against government spending. Since Dipshit Carter anyway)

[-] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

A news org that shares a name with a group of genocidaires turns out to be reactionary? I'm shocked, truly shocked-pikachu

[-] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Hitler called Turkey a shining star in the darkness. That means that Hitler found their accomplishments inspirational.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Holy loaded question, Batman!

Also yes, even from a calculating center-right standpoint I want prisons to be as expensive and inefficient as possible so all arrests come with the strictest of scrutiny. Want to imprison someone? Prove in court that there is no other alternative.

Isn’t this a joke? Like this is something ridiculous Trump claimed was happening in the debate iirc.

[-] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

if it is tongue and cheek, then it shouldn’t be like, last I checked, 91% No.

bit fell flat or Ana and Cenk being unhinged about crime and trans issues again. Always good to remember that Ana fell for the “non-surgery transmascs want you to refer to their genitalia as bonus hole” fearmongering (even if this was actually a phenomenon and not like one quip by a doctor or a transmasc person, like… oh no. the fucking horror. who cares dickhead) and got really mad about it on a podcast

[-] RagingGingivitis@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

TYT was also so transphobic during all of that the trans journalists working for them quit.

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah I’m not saying it wouldn’t be on brand. More saying I wanted to make sure I had the context right.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
