It really rules that the Trump admin can just say “not uh” to things and the media literally never calls out that they are wrong. They are wrong on purpose, also known as “lying” but I’d even take just pointing out they’re wrong at this point.

I know some people say it as a joke, but the whole “my pronouns are ‘none’” thing really resonates with me because ideally to me, no one would refer to me at all. I get really uncomfortable when people remember facts about me, it just feels really weird. So thinking that people might talk about me when I’m not around is discomforting too.

Yeah I’ve been getting shit my entire life for the fact that things like making a phone call or responding to a text message are insurmountable tasks for me, but I can tell you exactly what’s wrong with your car’s engine just by listening to it for a minute or two…

Would it be motivational to tell you to be the change you want to see in the world?

I’m like, 2 peoples cup of tea. But I’d die for either of them and they’d do the same for me, and that’s all I really need tbh.

Canada.

Canada is America’s Austria in this analogy. And Canada isn’t far off from potentially electing a government that would help, kinda like Austria did…

I’m in this picture and I ~~don’t like it~~ have made peace with the fact that this will always be me.

My guy, every definition of genocide is predicated on intentionality. Look it up.

You can argue this all you want, but when does something become intentional when you know about it and do not act to stop it? The Soviets at best knew people were dying and did nothing. Is that affirmation of the outcome, and therefore intentionality?

I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist biting the Xinjiang bait, but nice try citing a historical policy that is no longer in effect that has nothing to do with the very present low birth-rate situation.

My guy, Douglas Tottle’s central thesis wasn’t that the genocide didn’t happen, it was that it was unintentional. He uses the exact same arguments holocaust deniers use of muddying facts and saying “well no one explicitly signed a document saying kill all these people so did it really happen?” You can do better. Unrelated but evidence he cites couldn’t have possibly have been obtained by him without working with the Soviets, which speaks to who was in control of the narrative in the book, because the Soviets sure as shit weren’t gonna work with anyone who was going to blame them.

Also cool of you to insist that the EU somehow made Russia do this. And that the existence of some people who might be Nazis totally justifies killing indiscriminately inside another country. Do you think Russia’s treatment of LGBT people would justify someone invading them and killing indiscriminately to “solve” that situation?

Not to mention that the literal Nazis used the exact same justification of “ethnic Germans are being mistreated in the Sudetenland, so we must invade and intervene” as the Russians are doing right now.

I bet you think Xinjiang is just suffering from “abnormally low birth rates” too.
