I can't do much except hope your government gets better. Best of luck fighting off all those """protecting the children""" laws, but if you can't (and let's face it, who can control their government?), I'll have a big stack of VPNs and torrent sites waiting for you if you need them.
(In victory I am merciful. Remember this, dear Briton, the next time you feel inclined to point and laugh at America for having a fascist government.)

Well sure, Republicans are currently actively trying to strip away trans rights, build a military with the authorization to operate within our borders, black bag people in the streets without charging them with a crime because they don't like what they have to say, and deploying the goddamn Armed Forces against their own citizens when they have the audacity to peacefully protest about it, and Democrats are voting party line against every single one of those, but they aren't saying no louder than that, so they're the same.
No one is better at mental gymnastics than leftists, I swear to god.
eh, switch them
can ml be normal for two goddamn seconds
No, seriously, what is it?
If it's supposed to be his dick, huh? Who gets hard when they get angry?
Pro tip: if you install the browser extension LibRedirect, if you click a link to Reddit/Xhitter/Instagram/TikTok/etc, it will automatically redirect it to a privacy respecting frontend! Fully customizable which sites get redirected and which services/hosts they redirect to. Also has a "one-time disable" button for when you just can't resist the urge to sign in and leave a comment.
If you use Firefox on mobile (or a fork thereof), you can get this extension there too! If you don't use Firefox on mobile, consider doing that!

Thesis writing
I've been seeing a worrying number of these people on Lemmy lately, sharing enlightened takes including but not limited to "voting for Biden is tantamount to fascism" and "the concept of an assigned gender, or even an assigned name, at birth is transphobic" and none of them seem to be interested in reading more than the first sentence of any of my comments before writing a reply.
More often than not they reply with a concern I addressed in the comment they're replying to, without any explanation of why my argument was invalid. Some of them cannot even state their own position, instead simply repeatedly calling mine oppressive in some way.
It occurred to me just now that these interactions reminded me of nothing so much as an evangelical Christian I got into an argument with on Matrix a while ago, in which I met him 95% of the way, conceded that God might well be real and that being trans was sinful and tried to convince him not to tell that to every trans person he passed, and failed. I am 100% convinced he was trolling -- in retrospect I'm pretty sure I could've built a municipal transport system by letting people ride on top of his goalposts (that's what I get for picking a fight with a Christian at 2AM) -- and the only reason I'm not convinced these leftists on Lemmy are trolls is the sheer fucking number of them.
I made this post and what felt like half the responses fell into this category. Am I going insane?
c/dragonsthatwonthavejobsforlong lmao
I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in November. Even if you did, and even if you convinced two thirds of the people who would otherwise have voted for Biden to vote for your chosen candidate instead, Trump would still win because half the country voted for him and your guy only got a third. If you vote third party you might as well stay home.
Not voting isn't going to stop the genocide in Gaza. The US will continue to funnel them arms no matter which candidate wins this November. Trump practically campaigns on how much he hates the Jews and he's publicly told Israel to "finish up their war". He'll also make life a living hell for anyone who isn't a straight cisgender male back here at home.
A vote for a candidate is not an endorsement of them or their policies, it's a statement that you like their policies more than the other guy's, and "sticking it to liberals" and "refusing to support genocide" (that's not what voting for Biden is doing, by the way -- a vote for either candidate is a vote for genocide and a vote for neither is an endorsement of both) is not more important than keeping the furthest right politician America has ever seen out of office.
How incredibly privileged do you have to be to see an entire national election as what will happen in the Middle East and ignore Trump's campaign promises to wipe transgender Americans off the map, and further, to not realize that the same thing will happen in the Middle East regardless of which candidate wins?
I hate Biden as much as every other leftist here. But I'll still vote for him because Trump is worse. If there's a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.
