Norway, Finland, and all these countries are actually implementing some socialist policies. Even though they are still capitalist, its the most socialist and egalitarian the world that exists on a large scale (beyond just a small commune)
Social democracies are not socialism, really ironic when people will accuse DPRK of being a monarchy but like… the Nordic social democracies are monarchies with somewhat decent welfare state and democratic representation
I have them right in my display name on .ml too, must be the app?
I usually do, the person misgendering me in this thread moderates several comms on blahaj, so I’m calling it out
I’m an anarchist, obviously I’m not going to charge rent
I’m being misgendered in one of the comments in this very thread, in the thread that this is referencing someone’s saying exactly that to me, calling me and anyone vaguely associated a roach that’s “chimping out” - context for my comment
And for the record fuck putin, russia is a capitalist shithole and I’m opposed to ALL war between capitalist states and don’t see either side as ‘good’. Jingoism and bravado just gets people killed needlessly.
I was saying that the quote describes cm0002’s behavior, not attributing it to cm0002

TAYLOR: There are several programs that would address health care for transgender people. These are Medicare, Medicaid, VA. And then there are things like the Affordable Care Act, where you have nondiscrimination protections that may include trans people, depending on how the term sex is being interpreted. So the president can issue an executive order to instruct agencies to do this. And one of the things that we know with executive action on trans rights is it’s not sticky. Executive action is going to be very impermanent.
People can use whatever pronouns they want and anyone pitching a fit about it are the ones who deserve scrutiny as far as I’m concerned.
Drag always rubbed me the wrong way, always ready to jump right to calling people tankies without much interesting conversation to be had.
If someone is trolling I’m going to ban them when they violate an actual rule, like telling people to kys, because anything else opens up the field for people like Pug to declare who is and isn’t trans based on if they like their pronoun choice.
