it's white supremacist settler colonialism with a healthy dose of anti-semitic conspiracy theory

to go back to the original post, where she is getting angry at zionists (presumably about the genocide israel is doing), i care much more whether you are doing anything about it than what emotions you have about it. different people work differently. i'd rather someone contribute to a local org and be ignorant of global struggles instead of spending all of their time getting angry at people online so that they contribute nothing.

i'm talking about trying to break a habit that you find negative in your life, and some specific things that can help with that, not saying that you should do these things on this site.

the general advice people have given here has been pretty good, but i want to share a couple things that have worked for me to disrupt these kinds of negative habits:

• remove the site from your browser history so it doesn't autocomplete in the address bar
• log out of the site so you don't get your "preferred" places to go recommended
• get a browser extension to block the site as a whole or the specific features that bother you

If only 1% were sampled to vote and it was done so in a reasonably unbiased way, your results would be 99.999% in line with the average American’s opinion/wants.

you are vastly overstating the accuracy of polling, and making a system with a hugely glaring way to game the system. if you thought the voter suppression in the us is bad now, wait until you see the stupid fucking political games being played with the sampling rules in your proposed system.

this is only barely a story. i have very little confidence in western news reporting on anonymous sources out of china. i am very willing to believe that this official is getting removed because of the backlash to this, as china does have a reputation for having actual consequences to fucking up their economy, but anything beyond "we aren't going to do the regulations exactly like that" is completely unfounded speculation

The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

is a reactionary trans person not lgbtq+? there are a whole bunch of lgbt people who will fight for just enough change to make themselves comfortable and then nothing else. that doesn't sound like praxis to me

ok, now that we have that out of the way, i think you are fundamentally misunderstanding the critique. how is being a reactionary trans person praxis?

i think you misunderstood. if someone is trans, they are queer, but just because someone is queer doesn't necessarily mean they are trans. some non-trans queer people turned reactionary once they got just enough social acceptance to be comfortable. this can also be seen in some trans people, too.

this is your brain on 4chan. don't do 4chan. not even once.

listing a whole bunch of companies to boycott results in an uncoordinated response that has little if any impact. it's better to find the groups that have been working at this for a while like this one https://bdsmovement.net/
