Depends on the city. I live in San Francisco, and honestly I see almost as many gender nonconforming people out and about as I do gender conforming. There are trans flags waving all over the place. A few years ago a bunch of Trumpers tried to have a rally in Oakland and people threw stuff at them until they left lol

Merde!

Can we pick the nature of the upgrade? I want to pee champagne

Words have meaning

It’s incredibly sad that this has been turned into a meaningless phrase.

That’s stupid bullshit and you know it. The Civil War was a war between one group of guys and another group of guys. We cannot use the same term to describe both groups of guys. The historical accounts would make no sense.

And history has ALWAYS referred to rebels and insurrectionists by the name they give themselves, it’s nothing unique to the Confederacy. Pretending it somehow “legitimizes” the Confederacy is pure bullshit dreamed up by someone who wants to puff up his “I am so very very woke” cred. It’s a solution in search of a problem.

What do we call George Washington’s army? The same name they gave themselves, the Continental Army. What do we call Irish nationalists during the Troubles? The same name they gave themselves, the IRA. What do we call the militant Islamic fundamentalists who took over Afghanistan as the US pulled out? The same name they gave themselves, the Taliban.

The fact that you think referring to a rebel group by the name they gave themselves has ANYTHING to do with ANY kind of narrative means you are being either disingenuous or ignorant.

There are many, many ways to fight against bigots and racists nowadays. This is not one of them.

Historical revisionism is a goddamn plague and should be met with a firm slap to the face any time it’s suggested, even if it’s in favor of the side we agree with.

I don’t know what kind of fucking obsession gen Z has with labels, but you need to chill the fuck out about it. Calling the North “the United States” instead of “the Union” does absolutely fuckall to make anything better whatsoever, and it chips away at the foundations of historical accuracy.

Did you never go to high school? It’s not like this is a new phenomenon.

You’d be banned faster than trying to say “Tiananmen” on grad

If you happened to go in there and speak against them, you’d just be banned and have your post removed.

Statistically, lesbian relationships are far more likely to be abusive than hetero ones.

You delusional fucks are literally denying reality

The year is 2028

AOC wins the Democratic nomination

Lemmy immediately ridicules AOC as a shitlib centrist and says that to save democracy, we must protest vote for [insert name here].

A Democratic centrist literally polled at #1. It’s in the headline.

Exactly. If I were her, I’d fuck off to Europe and send a big fat middle finger to everyone asking for help.

Is that in the best interests of the American people? No. Is it an entirely understandable reaction? Yes.
