Fuck that. If this is ok, any sort of religious or political themed stuff on the stick should be fine, right? Gadsden flags, Betsy Ross old-style flags, Christian religious stuff, all of it.
People need to start treating "pride" bullshit in this manner. The left has turned that obnoxious fucking flag into their political "religion's" symbol, and they use the power of government to promote it. It has nothing to do with anything but all encompassing leftist politics at this point, and it needs to start being treated as what it is.
Only became divisive because
people listen to young peoplethe constant torrent of indoctrination pumped out by the left is effective at indoctrinating young people.
There isn't this epidemic of people sitting around contemplating life, and suddenly coming to these conclusions that they all have ultra leftist beliefs. They are being indoctrinated into it. The left has been at it - infesting everything from the inside - for 60+ years.
When is it ever about what you want, with the left?
You will have what they want forced on you, and you will have their propaganda machines indoctrinating the masses to make you look like the bad guy for not going along with it.
That's how it works.
Answer: the left owns the media (traditional, and internet/social).
If the right tried to do what the left did when it was in power, it would be all over the news, and all over the internet. The masses would be made to be infuriated, and it would be a disaster for the right.
When the left does it, the media will either hide it, or play it down for them.
How are people still not getting it??? Our system cannot function so long as only one side is held accountable. The reason only one side has to fear being held accountable is because of the left's control of the narrative.
...and it apparently yells, "What the fuck are you looking at?!", right before it stabs you to death, while you're waiting at a bus stop, after attending a wedding party.
"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind"
It's also that, as they do it, they have managed to convince themselves - and tons of others via their indoctrination machine - that they are somehow the righteous/virtuous ones, even when everyone can see the results of their policies with their own eyes.
It's infuriating.
Seriously. Fuck these people.
Beyond that, his stupid policies didn't just get him killed, they are destroying all of the United States / Western Civilization. How many of our biggest cities are just absolute disasters because of them at this point?
But, more importantly, it's almost like the left has entrenched itself in nearly every facet of "the government" now, and - as it doesn't have to worry about the media showcasing them abusing power - it's becoming less and less shy about using government to attack the left's political enemies.
specifically targeted towards equity-deserving groups including women
LOL. God, it's incredible how long women are managing to delude themselves into believing they are still oppressed in the west. It simply doesn't matter how many statistics/evidence you throw at them, they are so fucking indoctrinated, they refuse to believe anything else.
The west is in so much fucking trouble. You can't win against this level of indoctrination/narrative control. Being factually correct counts for nothing.
I'm going to assume that it was written by a mtf trans activist, as it contains every fantasy they have:
- The mtf trans guy not only passed as being a girl, they were the most beautiful one the made up character had ever seen.
- Everyone sides with them, and their righteous cause, except the evil "tradcon"/fasCISt sister.
- The made up hero character tells off that evil sister, and has that huge gotcha moment.
- In the end, even that evil ant-trans sister is forced to bend the knee, and prostrate themselves before the hero and his trans "girlfriend".
It's a complete mtf guy's power fantasy.
Almost all the big subs are absolutely filled with LARP stuff like that. Stuff that "starts a dialogue" (and that dialogue is steered into creating the appearance of a false consensus). It fits in with the purpose of the activists having seized those subs in the first place: reddit is in the top 20 most visited sites on the internet; if you can wield it like a weapon, it's massive platform to set the public narrative on.
One of my favorites from the last month or two was this utterly incredible true story posted on r/aita ("Am I the Asshole"):
Some background.
I 17m about 8 months ago met the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, we became friends because of our shared hobbies and somehow I got lucky enough that we started dating 6 months ago. About a week into dating she told me that she was trans, mtf. I accepted this and had no problem with dating her. She was happy and as I've said me and 17f have been dating for 6 months. She has met my family multiple times and about a month ago she told them she was trans as well. Everyone accepted or if they didn't they kept their mouths shut. Everyone except one.
My sister 24f got huffy and started to ignore my gf. She asked me later how I expected to have kids one day if I was dating a fake woman. I told her to shut up and I don't want kids anyway. She got quiet and that was that. My sisters wedding is in 3 months and she sent out invites to rsvp a few days ago. Everyone is allowed to bring a +1 I choose my gf and sent in the rsvp. Today she came by and while hanging out with my parents she told me my gf couldn't come. When I asked why she said and I quote "I don't want a delusional boy at my wedding" at first I wondered why she thought I was delusional, and then I realized she was talking about my gf. I told her to take that back and she said she's only speaking the truth. I called her a transphobe and said that either me and my gf go or I don't go at all. She said she's "not letting that creep into my wedding" . So I said to not expect me there either.
She laughed like she thought I wouldn't follow through with it. But I withdrew my rsvp and threw her wedding gift in the trash. Now she's pissed and is getting everyone else involved. My parents are staying neutral. My sisters fiance is actually on my side (love that guy) along with my uncle. My aunt and cousin's are on mysjsters side and and some are pressuring me to go because it's my sister's big day. Others want me to just keep the peace, and my aunt was just as translhobic as my sister. My gf said I don't have to destroy my relationship with my sister over her buy I told her that if my sister was like this then it would have ended someday anyway so it might as well be now.
But I'm wondering, aita for splitting the family up between supporting me and supporting my sister
That was then followed up with an "update" post which was even more incredibly true and amazing:
So it's been about a month since I posted and it's been a fun one. So my sister received a couple of ultimatums, the first was from her fiance who told her that if she didn't apologize for how she acted and what she said, that he would call off the wedding. She half assed it bit I accepted it because shes annoying enough already. In my previous post people believed my parents were transphobic for not taking a side, bit they aren't, they have been nothing but kind to my gf. Me and my sister are their only kids and they want grandkids, I never want kids and I've made thus clear. My sister wants a big family, and my parents have reasoned that I'd she does throw a kid out for being gay and or trans that they could take them in if that ever happened.
My parents asked me if they would be OK with them going to her wedding, I gave them my blessing (which felt weird asf ngl) and they gave my sister an ultimatum, either she invites me or they dont go, she relented and reinvited me but not my gf so I'm still not going but my parents will, I'm fine with this compromise. My parents have set aside some money and told me to take my gf on a nice date that night, so my plan is to take her to dinner and then we get to see a movie opening night. My sister's wedding fell on the same day as the movie so it all worked out I guess. Me and my gf are still together, she's currently wrecking people In smash with me while I type this. All in all life is good, after her apologies I have gone no contact with my sister, I unfortunately haven't been in contact with her fiance which sucks because I've known him since I was little but I have a feeling he understands. Anyway that's the update, have a damn good one guys.
LOL! There was and entire thread of stupid mf'ers (everyone except all the "removed by moderator" commenters? hmm....) that seriously believed the following:
- Some other stupid asshole knew a mtf trans guy (high school age, so no surgery/hormone manipulation, as if even that makes too big a difference) for 2 whole months, dated them for a week, and had absolutely zero idea that "girl" (literally, "most beautiful girl I've ever seen"), was a d00d?
- The sister having a wedding made a bunch of comments (comments that suspiciously sounded exactly like the comments you'd hear, in a reddit thread defending trans men, attributed to what the "evil fascists" make) attacking the mtf guy, then banned them from her wedding. (That last part is actually believable to me, because would who want this sort of drama at their wedding...)
- The sister's fiance sided with the brother/mtf guy, and threatened to call off the wedding with the sister unless the sister groveled before them.
- The parents groveled before the brother/mtf guy, and asked for their blessing to attend the sister's wedding?
- The parents only want to attend the wedding in the first place because they are worried the sister may have trans kids, and that they'd have to raise them when the sister throws them out?
Wow! So amazing! That the mtf guy was the most beautiful ever! That literally everyone sided with them! That everyone is keeping an eye on that evil sister, to make sure she doesn't abuse her future trans children! And then Albert Einstein clapped.
Seriously... who - in the fuck - would believe that happened??? Other than other trans activists, obviously?
It appears I was wrong, and their art is depicting NX class ships. Thank you for the correction.
In my defense, it's hard to tell, as some of the ships are drawn so badly, it's hard to tell if the nacelles are supposed to be above (NX) or below (Akira) the centerline of the ship.
It's not just that the writing is trash, it's that they clearly aren't fans, have zero knowledge of the property, and aren't even willing to bother with the slightest amounts of research.
On only the third page, they have this art, depicting the Earth-Romulan War. Specifically, they specify this as being the "Battle of Cheron".
All those Federation ships are ships that never appeared in even TNG until the First Contact film. I know this despite only being your bog standard Star Trek fan. I'm not an expert on it; I don't run a Wiki for it; and certainly no one pays me to write/draw content for it.
So, I went and looked it up. They are Akira Class vessels, that didn't enter service until the 2370s.
The Earth-Romulan War is listed as having been during the mid 2150's, through 2160. The Battle of Cheron apparently took place at the very tail end of the conflict, in 2160.
Kirk's era (as a captain) starts around 2265.
Thus, not only is the Earth-Romulan war ancient history before the Akira class showed up, you should be seeing ships more than a hundred years older than the Constitution class (entered service in the 2250's) "Enterprise" ships everyone is familiar with from the TOS Kirk era Star Trek.
It's just so fucking tiresome seeing these stupid ass radical leftist / SJW activists taking control of every property, not giving a single fuck about it, and then proceeding to destroy it as they use it as nothing more than a vehicle for their activism.
This female (I'm using this in lieu of "woman" now, as apparently it makes them "the big mad" when "incels" refer to them as this), in particular, is a spectacular piece of trash that delights in destroying the things you love.
It was already banned: Nexus Mods...
That particular sub has clearly had some new mods added, as it's went into overdrive with crap like that lately. Earlier in the week, they were sending out mass ban waves for being in problematic wrong-think subs:
Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in r/therewasanattempt because you broke this community's rules. You won't be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.
Note from the moderators:
You have been banned for participating in the bigoted, nonsense-regurgitating subreddit r/kotacoinaction. Also because your shoulders are soft and you look weak. Like, worse than Joel from TLOU2.
Friendly reminder that:
- the future is female
- Rainbow Road is an LGBTQ+ track and always has been
- Don Cheadle > Rowling
- white people do not experience racism in any meaningful way, and any white who cries about racism is an eensy weensy baby who couldn't for a second handle real racial stress
- gamers will never rise up. not from their couches, not from their futons
If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message.
Reminder from the Reddit staff: If you use another account to circumvent this subreddit ban, that will be considered a violation of the Content Policy and can result in your account being suspended from the site as a whole.
The left is just absolutely without any objective standards. Anything/everything is acceptable to them, so long as it is being used to attack those that do not share their politics. Also, when they do their purges, they don't care who gets caught up in it, as I saw plenty of complaints from people protesting about how they were in lock step with them politically, but just posted in one of those subs once or twice, mocking them, but still got banned by the bot.
As for the leftists running reddit, and the hypocrisy of it all: how using a bot to go through everyone's post history, and then sending out harassing private messages to thousand of people isn't harassment, and shouldn't itself be a bannable offense is basically the perfect example of what the left is.
The left being in a position of power should always horrify anyone. Once they get that power, they will do whatever they feel like they can get away with. They will do this until they are forcibly removed.
Reddit. Reddit is a perfect example of this.
Look what the shitbag left is doing over there, with regards to the stupid fiasco over the API changes.
First the power jannies locked nearly all the major subs (and tons of niche ones, as well) down for a couple of days, specifically so no one could use the site. Then, when their tantrum didn't get them what they wanted, they switched to longer/"permanent" blackouts. Then, when that didn't work, and they were told they were going to be removed as moderators if they didn't stop acting like toddlers, they doubled down on that, and started filling the entire site with porn, and stupid crap like the john oliver pics, etc, in an attempt to tank the value of the site by destroying its ability to host ads.
It's a perfect microcosm. It is exactly what happens when you let the radical left take control of something - i.e., you get what you fucking deserve.
The libs won't comply. They will need to be sued dozens of times in favorable jurisdictions & hit with heavy judgments until they get so blasted with lawsuits that they finally cave in & switch to a merit-based racially blind system out of fear of lawsuits.
Was with you right up until, “and switch to a merit-based racially blind system“. The radical left never relents. They always double down. Just as you said, they won’t comply. You can already see them out on Reddit today, saying how the policy just needs to be switched to “socioeconomic”.
They’re going to do exactly what they do in California to get around it here. Discriminate exactly how they want, but just do it more nebulously.
Nothing but ending the left’s control of the narrative will stop them. If you change that, then you can have the public get upset at the situation, and if you can finally do that, you can finally work on driving them out of the positions they have entrenched themselves in, that allow them to enforce policies like this.
As always, the real issue is control of the narrative.
Seriously. It's so insane to watch their machine go into action. [Removed by reddit]'s as far as the eye can see. It's especially amazing to me how one of the first places I saw it removed/censored was /r/kia2. It's like they have a team of idiots permanently assigned to monitor the old sub.
It's absolutely insane how much control the radical left has over what the average person is allowed to see/think. That's the craziest part about the whole "election interference" stuff to me. The left basically does infinite amounts of election interference via the news and the internet. They get to shape the electorate.
