I feel ancient that I was an adult when this was happening.

Sally Fo-! Sally Fo-! sally forth…

When have you actually done something for the working class ??

I march in solidarity with striking union workers while the Conservatives in my area call for them to be ordered back to work.

Left aren’t any better, they have stallin apologists for one, in your quest to “give rights to minorities” you end up marginalizing the majority for two & three your open border policy causes massive economic damage

So I’m going to skip the obvious Russian talking points here (open border policy causes economic damage? What the fuck are you talking about? Stalin apologists–like Putin? He’s not Left wing) and go straight to

“you end up marginalizing the majority”

No, you don’t. One of the key socialist ideals is that when one person suffers, we all suffer. There are arguments about how to reach true equanimity, but until then just by being ‘the standard’ you are impossible to marginalize. Conservatism puts men first, especially in our movies:

Room temperature? Designed for middle aged white men.

If men are ‘demonized,’ why are only 8.2% of CEO’s women? Why are abortions controlled, but not vasectomies?

I understand why you are saying these things though, people on ‘the Right’ fall for Russian propaganda far more than ‘the Left’ do:

I can’t think of a single Conservative social talking point that would make them good people. You have to remember these are the same people who want to ban abortion, gay marriage, remove rights from minorities, and have ‘in’ and ‘out’ crowds. There’s no ‘good people’ there. They may perform good actions, sure, but their belief system is entirely about stagnation and dogma.

If they didn’t ask for it, and don’t want it, it’s not ‘giving’ the other person anything. This is how a lot of sexual assault works; the rapist tells the other person they’re enjoying it and does things like this, and then goes ‘well I did (whatever act) for them, so I’m the good guy here.’ This idea that performing oral/touching the other person/etc without direct stimulation back is entirely about the person receiving is false, has always been false, and will continue to be false. This is dangerous ground we’re on here, and we’re better than this.

Seriously, the opening words are I want. I don’t know how much more direct it would have to be here.

First time I get that remark…

Funny enough, growing up I got tired of hearing women complain …

I believe this is when the kids say ‘lol.’

The dude is actively offering to pleasure the girl

No, he’s offering to do what he wants to do. It’s not universal that women want that; it’s not universal that women want anyone to do that; it’s not universal that women want that specific person to do that. This is how we got rape in Revenge of the Nerds because a bunch of guys went “yeah but she liked it, right?”

the guy is willingly taking the longer route to the girls favours, by putting her pleasure ahead of his.

No he isn’t, he wants to give her head. That’s for his pleasure–he enjoys going down on women. Said women aren’t fucking obligated to agree just because he’s offering.

This is some incel-level shit here.

I’m in Canada, and I do most of those things already, but this is great advice in general. I warn specifically about Measels because I have family who (thankfully, were) immune to the vaccine, so they’d get warnings from doctors like “we’ve seen a rise in people not vaccinating so… avoid bringing (my cousin) to large gatherings of people like concerts, and try to keep them in schools with higher vaccination rates.” They’re teenaged and were finally able to get the vaccine to work (I don’t have the details, just that it worked) but my cousin missed seeing Raffi because some conservative fucks decided they didn’t care enough about children dying to vaccinate theirs.

I don’t think people understand how bad measles is:

Furthermore, measles’s reproductive number estimates vary beyond the frequently cited range of 12 to 18.[17] The NIH quote this 2017 paper saying: “[a] review in 2017 identified feasible measles R0 values of 3.7–203.3”

The measles virus can deplete previously acquired immune memory by killing cells that make antibodies, and thus weakens the immune system, which can cause deaths from other diseases.[42][43][44] Suppression of the immune system by measles lasts about two years and has been epidemiologically implicated in up to 90% of childhood deaths in third world countries, and historically may have caused rather more deaths in the United States, the UK and Denmark than were directly caused by measles.

Just wait until a third of the US doesn’t vaccinate for it – you’re going to have 1980’s levels of deaths to it, and it will be mostly children.

RFK Jr. as Health Secretary.

Measels is going to fuck the US up.

“Mr. Gideon, you’re not paying attention.”

Is that gasoline I smell?
