meltyblood is sometimes held in gas station bathrooms

It started right after the fucking illegal creation of the state of “israel”.

arguably before that even. colonial zionism is older than the nation-state

Palestinians have the right to defend themselves

except bitcoin is useless and these “ai” things have nonzero useful potential

if they called them bankers somebody might bail them out

the draft, yes, but the disposability isn’t only from that.

oh I read “combat” as “compulsory”

that’s when it has major narrative purpose. the rest of the time you’re simply not meant to be carrying all that trash loot like some hoarder. That stuff is there to make the world not be empty, not for you to have 20 sets of armor and 400 desk fans in your bag

i still don’t understand how it’s doing a defense of patriarchy. i’m not even bringing edge’s intention into it. he asked about himself in reply to a comment that was already about the suffering of men under patriarchy so i’m not even sure it was derailing the way we usually mean talking about men making discussions about feminism about themselves.

Notice that, even here on Hexbear, the conversation is centered on whether misandry is real rather than ways to tackle the problems of systemic violence against women.

The OP is about these ideas not being equal, the way the tweet is written takes misandry for granted and rightly says they are not equivalent. We don’t organize on here, the “what is to be done” kinda shit is basic stuff that everybody already knows like the men here not themselves doing violence, yelling at people we should probably stop being friends with, and running our orgs so it doesn’t happen (or holding them accountable if necessary) and there’s not really any conversation to have there unless someone has a specific question about running orgs or deradicalizing someone.

i see where he asked how it applied to him, but i don’t understand how it’s silencing or a defense of patriarchy, could you elaborate?
