  • And figuring out their preferred pronouns isn’t always easy.

    usually the pronouns are listed somewhere or you ask

    This isn’t as simple as a lot of people want it to be. Going neutral isn’t a slight. It’s not misgendering. It’s a way to avoid accidentally making an error even with the best of intentions.

    There’s a reason many trans spaces in Lemmy require listed pronouns, it removes the guesswork and you can reference inline.

    If you’re using gendered pronouns for most cis people but then specifically degendering trans people it’s going to eventually rub people the wrong way. People aren’t going to care if you make an error while being well intentioned, especially if you ask for more information and correct yourself going forward.




  • America has already constructed such an effective social murder state that you can pretty readily enact a final solution simply by cutting people off from financial supports.

    The status quo is the system unpersons and kills you by neglect if you can’t make rent. This development is an escalation for sure, but it’s just the mask slipping, the senseless cruelty has been there all along.

    Be outraged at this, but also please get involved helping people who are uhoused where you live, with money, food, supplies, whatever you can.












  • Part of the problem is that Democrats made it extremely clear that not doing the genocide was off the table, so the choice is genocide on this timeline and genocide on a slightly faster one. I’m still not clear how Trump could speed this up, short of getting more branches of the US military involved directly in the process, American troops getting the🔻 treatment is probably what it’s going to take for Americans to lose their bloodlust.

    Either way, that’s no choice to be made and plenty of people resented the Democrats for acting like they’re opposed to this sort of thing while directly participating in the worst crime of this century so far.

    Democrats also demonstrated themselves to be prolific liars (maybe not on par with trump, but close) when it came out that they had been pretending Biden had still been functioning for years, do you think that makes people trust you?
