Bevor ich fragen konnte, hab' ich was verpasst und wenn ja, wurde ich angepöbelt.
Aber Roger hatte insofern recht, als dass ich nicht mit Andersdenkenden, also Rassistinnen, Nazis, Queerfeindinnen ... diskutiere und Toleranz mir in dieser Hinsicht sehr fremd ist.
I had an Uber driver in 2018 or 2019. Retired Navy man. We started talking politics and he said “My father is 75 and in pretty great shape, but, man, he shouldn’t be president, either. I wouldn’t vote for him.”
I think about the substance of that conversation a lot.
mein liebster #wikipedia Eintrag ist übrigens der in der englischen über Jake Gyllenhaal;
Weil da steht drin, dass er jährlich 400$ (in Worten: vierhundert) für Klimaschutzprojekte spendet und gern seinen Müll recycled. #based :awesome: :thisisfine: :breadpats:

@ashiisbest what happened to :reddit: is the same as what happen to :birdsite: :twitter: :
Shitheads at the top decided to throw molotovs at the users and the #based ones said: "fuck this shit we'll go into the :fediverse: !" and only those that are too lazy or would get yeeted out of every :activitypub: instance that isn't universally defederated are still on that site.
US Senator Bernie Sanders says fossil fuel companies should be prosecuted for their hideously destructive crimes.
Obviously I agree with that. But, you know, I've decided against holding my breath until it happens...
For at least 60 years, scientists have warned fossil fuel executives that their products would cause global warming and widespread climate destabilization. In the ensuing decades, executives had the choice to pivot their businesses into renewable energies that could have saved the planet from climate destruction.
Instead, they chose to dismiss their own employees’ climate research and follow in Big Tobacco’s footsteps to engineer a massive disinformation campaign to block climate action which is still thriving today. The consequences of this decision — to put profits far above the planet and people — have proven dire.
Now, as temperatures reach over 100°F (38°C) in South America in the middle of winter, Sen. Bernie Sanders is calling for federal officials to finally take the fossil fuel industry’s long-standing lies about the climate crisis seriously and prosecute the industry the same way the Justice Department prosecuted Big Tobacco decades ago.
In an op-ed published by MSNBC on Thursday, Sanders called for officials to recognize fossil fuel companies’ “clear violation” of racketeering, advertising, consumer protection and other laws in their campaign to spread climate denial and doom future generations to an unlivable planet.
“The fossil fuel companies knew. They knew they were causing global warming and threatening the very existence of the planet,” Sanders wrote. “Yet, in pursuit of profit, fossil fuel executives not only refused to publicly acknowledge what they had learned, but, year after year, lied about that existential threat. And they continue to fund misinformation campaigns today.”
The Vermont senator concluded by saying that it is long past time that Big Oil pay for the damage it’s done.
“The fossil fuel industry must begin to pay for the extraordinary damage it has caused and continues to cause every day,” Sanders wrote. “Climate change is an existential threat to every person on Earth. At every level, in every country, we must work together to save the planet for our kids and future generations. And those most responsible for this global crisis must finally be held accountable.”

You hear a lot of "why is it always trans women accused of racism and driven out of communities" and that that's a transmisogynistic campaign.
And yes, there may very well be some transmisogyny involved, because trans women do tend to be held to a higher standard than others and expected to be perfect.
BUT.
Have you ever seen how many trans people use 4chan slang like "based"? How common wojaks are in our community? How deep a foothold the "-pilled" copypasta has?
How completely normal it is on trans subreddits to talk about "back in my 4chan phase"?
Is it that hard to believe that too many of us haven't overcome, or don't want to overcome, that edgelord trolling mindset?
I learned about the origin of "based" and wojaks last year and I've made an effort not to use them since. I know others who haven't.
Yes, holding trans women to a higher standard you don't hold others to is transmisogyny, and yes, we tend to be singled out by those around us for harsher judgements than others, but is that really what's going on here?
Because I'll tell you more: when you have a social circle that's 90% trans women, of course you get the impression that "they're only coming for trans women". How many cis men, how many liberals are you friends with that could complain to you about those evil scheming black people coming for their free speech?
If you hear 1 cis man and 9 trans women called out for racism, is it a witch hunt against trans women, or do you just know 10 cis men and 90 trans women and that's why it seems disproportional?
That's called selection bias.
And furthermore: do your black friends perhaps keep white cis people and liberals at arm's length? Is your community perhaps made primarily of trans people, white and of colour, and so all racism that gets called out in-community is from white trans people?
When you hear "the blacks hate all trans women", think for a second and ask yourself if you're being goaded into getting angry at black people, and who has an interest in decrying all anti-racism as transmisogyny and making you give up solidarity with your black comrades.
And how much 4chan culture you have absorbed, knowingly or unknowingly.
That's not to say "guilty until proven innocent", and that's not to say there is no transmisogyny (our society is full of it, and often in ways we don't see at first or that superficially don't even seem to be connected to trans women).
That's to say "take a deep breath and think before you let yourself be moral panic'd.
Holding trans women to higher standards than others and condemning them harsher than others happens all the time (just look at how cis lesbians' sexuality is talked about vs trans lesbians'!), but not every criticism of a trans woman is a witch hunt.
Be sensible, be reasonable, stand in solidary with both your trans sisters and your comrades of colour.
And stop using that goddamn 4chan slang and imagery.
